Make — decor

When you’re running around hunting down the very best superhero cape and perfecting your from-scratch confetti ice-cream cake technique, sometimes the best-laid birthday party decor plans can fall by the wayside. 

Not to worry! Using regular balloons and ordinary craft supplies you may already have at home, it’s easy to take your last-minute decorations to the next level.

As a fan of all-things marbled (including cheesecake), today I’m sharing my latest discovery: a DIY swirling method that allows you to easily marble three-dimensional objects (!). With the right paint and an organized workspace, you can easily create a swoon-worthy set of marbled candles in your own home.

You don’t need to invest in a large professional loom to learn the basics of weaving. You can make your own loom out of a simple piece of re-used cardboard instead!
