Hi Reader !
I've been on a big party-planning kick the past month, and I'm sharing 2 new blog posts to help you DIY your own incredible show-stopping party on a budget.
So many of you loved the Giant Marquee Numbers I shared in last week's email. If you end up making your own be sure to send me a photo! π
After renting a set of numbers for my 30th birthday party last year, I decided to try my hand at making my own to save a little money!
Spoiler Alert - I saved a whopping $151 by making my own letters. π€© The best part is I can recycle the number three for my birthday party next year. π I'll make a number two to go with it, which will only cost me about $20. The lights were by far the most expensive part of this project.
I'm also sharing all of the details on how I made this DIY Fringe Backdrop for my daughter's party using plastic tablecloths from the dollar store.

Finger Guards
I discovered these recently after one of my employees recommended them to me. Now, Iβm wondering where theyβve been my whole life!
These non-stick silicone finger guards keep your fingertips from burning when you use hot glue or when youβre using a hot, steamy iron. Itβll be the best $5 you spend all week!
