One of my favorite things to do for my kids is to throw them a big birthday party each year. As much as I love planning and decorating for parties, the costs can add up very quickly, especially with four kids! One way I save money when planning parties is by getting creative with supplies and making our own decorations! And one of my favorite money-saving party decorating supplies is Duck Tape!! And no, this post is not sponsored, I just really love their products!
Yes, you heard me right, Duck Tape!!
I planned my daughter’s third birthday party around an adorable roll of black and white zebra print Duck Tape I saw and just had to have. It became the basis of the entire party, which was a Minnie Mouse birthday party, but with zebra print and pink accents. I used it for the treat table, the homemade zebra print Minnie Mouse pinata, and even the party favors! Here’s how…
For the treat table, I filled up different jars and vases with candy and treats, then decorated the outside of the containers some zebra Duck Tape and a label. All I did was fold a strip of Duck Tape in half horizontally, and then used some glue dots to hold it down.
This was so easy, simple, and inexpensive- just a few bucks per roll, and I only used one roll! It’s also a great way to add a pop of color and design to your party decor. And when the party was over, all I did was peel off the glue dots I used- no sticky messes to clean up!
