Candy Necklace Trim

A party table draped in candy -- what could be sweeter? To make a sugary swag, cut through the elastics of candy necklaces, and remove a few rings from each end. Tie necklaces together to make a circle that will reach around your table. Attach to tablecloth with safety pins, securing from underneath.

Birthday Banner

Making this one-of-a-kind sign is as easy as A-B-C (well, maybe not C). Look all over for letters in different styles: in magazines, books, cards, and packaging. Enlarge each character to about 9 inches using a scanner or photocopier. Cut out; tape to card stock for a sturdy backing. Tape letters to ribbon, and hang.

Flag Streamers

Cut twine as long as you want streamers to be. Apply glue stick to top of a flag, on back. Wrap glued edge around twine, folding resulting flaps forward and securing them on the flag's front. Repeat with remaining flags.

Ribbon Mobile

Use any ribbon you have on hand (ours are fabric) to make a mobile for hanging over a table. Line the inside of one ring of a 13-inch embroidery hoop with double-sided tape. Fold the ribbons over ring and press against the tape. To hang, tie two 20-inch ribbons to opposite sides of the hoop and hang from the ceiling.
