  • This project started out with  star of the show... a gorgeous cloche from http://www.wayfair.com
  • Gathering like minded things that 'held stuff', a look came together quickly.
  • Even the cloche got tricked out with a baking pan for some added bling.
  • Sheet music was cut down to size with a paper cutter, then twirled around a pencil to create mini party streamers.
  • Wayfair and HomeTalk were both the guest of honours at this shindig, so mini logos landed here and there as party confetti. The bingo cards became a table runner of sorts and added to the festive atmosphere of fun and games.
  • Faux snow, a few fresh greens, chocolates... looks like a party to me!
  • Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday... take your pick! A vignette lovely enough to last a whole lot longer than your chosen celebration. Let's eat!

Make your OWN party decorations... for a food centrepiece.

I wanted to throw a party, but didn't have a balloon nor streamer in sight. No worries, I threw together a few choice scraps and favourite things I had, and a food centrepiece was born! ...»
And it was pretty enough to leave out long after the celebration.

The lovely cloche was from http://www.wayfair.com. (selection changes often)

Many more details can be found at the link.
