Polka Dot Poplars is Two!

What?! How is that possible? Time flies when your having fun and our blog has been so fun! We’ve met so many amazing people and had amazing opportunities because of our little “spot” on the web. Thanks so much for being a part of our journey!  Please join us next week for some giveaways and fun.

Here’s a fun little tip if you’re planning a party…

There’s nothing that creates a feeling of celebration more than a bunch of balloons don’t you think? To make them look even more amazing how about adding some streamers. I did this easily and inexpensively by using plastic tablecloths.

While the tablecloth is still folded cut one inch strips. I used a rotary cutter but you could use scissors.

If you use a rotary cutter I found it easier to hold the bottom edge and then cut.

Once I have all the colors I want cut I gather them and tie the ends altogether into one knot. I then stapled the knot to the knot in the balloon being careful to staple below the knot in the balloon. I made a group of streamers for each balloon and found that using more than four or five streamers per balloon can weigh the balloon down.

I love the look of balloons and hope this gives you ideas when you have a celebration. The possibilities are endless with a cheap plastic tablecloth.
