Why spend a ton of money to make a festive scene when you can create DIY party decorations with a personal touch for way less cost?

DIY Party Decorations With Tissue Paper

Tissue paper is easy to find anywhere, comes in every color you can think of, and makes great party decorations! Plus you can use any leftovers to wrap gifts. These decorations can be made for any kind of party, all year round, just by changing up the color theme.

These streamers would make a great backdrop for photos, and look like a 3D version of the chevron pattern that’s super popular in home decor right now.

I made these for a fundraising event and can attest to how easy they are to make! Make orange ones for a Halloween party, red and green for a holiday party, pink and red for Valentine’s Day…
