Cinco De Mayo DIY Piñata Placemats And Lanterns
The one party I have never hosted is a Cinco De Mayo party; with traditional Mexican dishes, free-flowing margaritas, and festive decorations, you would think I would host one every year. With next week devoted to Summer Fiesta Party Hop, it is high time I did a fiesta of my own. Today is a sneak peek at two of the projects I did for tomorrow’s Fiesta Friday, a Cinco De Mayo Party.
Oriental Trading sent me a box full of goodies to play with. First up, I turned their white 10″ square lanterns into piñata lanterns, by fringing strips of crepe paper and gluing them on. It comes in a pack of 3 lanterns and although you won’t be wacking these anytime soon, but how fun are they? They are a perfect addition to hang over your party table or space.
The fringe didn’t stop there…a couple of years ago for my Bug Out Party, I made fringed placemats that looked like grass. And I though to myself, ‘self, change the colors and it looks like a piñata.’ So I did…same concept…I made these fun placemats with fringed crepe paper glued to 12 X 12 sheets of cardboard.
Tune in tomorrow for the full party reveal!
