![]() I just love curly ribbon □ Whether I am wrapping a present or just need to add a little more pizazz to a chandelier, it never lets me down! ![]() Then flip it over and trim off the excess duck tape. With this duck tape pattern I did match up the design a little. Starting at the top, just keep adding strips of duck tape overlapping them a little. This banner really pulled everything together creating a fun look in the gazebo. Ice packs hidden under ice cubes kept the drinks cold. The drink tub was a quick fix with some spray paint. Oh and I personalized each box with one of the treasure hunter’s initials too □ I just placed one strip of duck tape around each lunch box and then taped on few coordinating pieces of curly ribbon, so simple and you could do the same thing with lunch bags. These boxed lunches were served during the middle of the kids Treasure Hunt (this was a huge hit so I will be sharing soon □ ) so I needed to prepare them all the night before so I was available to be stashing clues ahead of the gang rather then preparing food. ![]() You can find lots of cute stickers to decorate party ware and the clear packing tape will help it last the duration of the party, especially if it is a pool party and kiddos often have wet hands. Keep this step in mind if you are decorating cups or other items that will be handled a lot. These letter stickers have a paper surface so to give them some durability, I just placed a piece of clear packing tape over it. To help the monogram be more pronounced just add it to a plain colored duck tape and add to cup. Just an FYI, if you leave one end of the duck tape on the cutting board as you start wrapping it on your cup so it is less likely to get stuck together. Just keep in mind that the more the cup/container tapers down, the more slits you will have to make.Ĭarefully peel one end of the duck tape up and start wrapping around cup smoothing out the top and then each bottom piece one by one as shown below. This is the same thing I did on my duck taped wrapping paper bin and duck taped flower pot. Then about every 1 1/2″ just cut slits 3/4 of the way up the tape. Just measure around your cup and cut a piece of duck tape about 1/2″ longer. Plus it can make them feel a little special having their own custom made cup. I am always monogramming cups to eliminate the kids from grabbing a new cup every time they need a drink. The really fun thing about this group of kids is they all appreciated the matching details! Even Jonathan the littlest one said, “Aunt Amy, why does everything match in here?!” Well, he might not have cared how the whip cream looked but he did notice!! Thanks buddy! I decorated plastic cups with duck tape and monograms for the dinner Walk About Taco Bar, and I wrapped some duck tape around cans of whip cream for our Camp Fire Dessert Bar so they were sure to match our theme as well □ I spray painted an old tin pail to keep some drinks cold and decorated some lunch boxes for the Treasure Hunt lunch break. In summary, I used duck tape to jazz up an old plastic banner and curly ribbon to add some whimsy to the chandelier in the gazebo. ![]() And what do I have on hand and in good supply? Well, if you don’t know yet, I might as well tell you…I am addicted to duck tape and have a few well a few dozen rolls □ So when I wanted to decorate for the kids camping party with their cousins I gathered all my duck tape featuring red, white, and blue patterns. I cannot wait to show you just how easy it is to pull a party theme together with duck tape and curly ribbon! I just love getting all the coordinating accessories for parties but since many of the things I do these days are last minute and I don’t live in a big city, I often improvise and just use what I have. ![]()
