Hi there my name is Solia and like many of you I cannot wait for graduation day.
So that's why I'll be sharing with you some graduation party ideas to make sure
that your commencement day is super special. So if you're anything like me
you're gonna want party ideas that are really fun budget-friendly and easy to
make. So stick around and I'm going to show you seven DIY party decorations
like table centerpieces, picture frames, party favors
photo booth props, balloon decorations and even a sweet sequin graduation
banner. Ready to start crafting? Let's go!
Our first DIY graduation party idea is a balloon chandelier. It's gonna be the
perfect welcome to all of your guests.
Punch a hole in the center of the card stock. Place your four by six cards in
the center of your 5x7 card stock. Use your double-sided tape to do this. With a
marker add cute details to the card stock. Attach the ribbon to the card
stock through the hole. Blow up a balloon, you can use a helium tank if you'd like.
Tie knot at the end to hold the air in. Attach your balloon to the cards with
the ribbon.
Hang the balloon from the ceiling. Repeat to all 10 balloons. For uploading and
printing your digital photos don't forget to download the Shutterfly app. If
you want a more personalized theme switch up the balloon colors to match
your school colors and add images of friends and family that helped you
throughout the school year. Want to know a cool way for your party guests to
drink in style? Glitter cups. They're fun festive and can be made in
just five easy steps. Make sure though that you're doing this in a
well-ventilated area because you'll be using glue and nail polish.
Fill your bowl with glitter. Take your cup and with a paintbrush add the glue.
Dip your cup in the glitter. Lightly dab the glitter to set it in place.
Once the glitter is settled add the nail polish to the glitter. Let it dry for
about ten minutes and fill with your favorite drink. You could always try
mixing different types of metallics such as gold, rose, silver and bronze for a
more festive look.
What's better than sequins on your graduation day? A sequined banner of
course! For this you can use words like 'hooray' or the year of your graduation.
For ours we're gonna be using 'congrats'.
Print out a sheet with each letter that you'll be using in your banner. Keep the
letter on top of the cardboard and begin tracing it with your crafting knife. Wrap
the trim around your letter and glue gun along the way. In some cases it's easier
to stretch the trim vertically instead of wrapping. Spell out your phrase
backwards add glue to the back of each letter and place the hanging cord on
each piece. Let it dry for approximately 20 minutes and hang it up. If all you
have available are loose sequins that works too. Just glue them directly to the
cardboard. There's no doubt this banner will make your graduation party dazzle
For an easy yet elegant touch to your DIY party try dressing up simple picture
frames. You can add your favorite photos, graduation quotes and personalized
graduation announcements.
Paint your frame any color you'd like and let it dry. Once dry flip the frame
over and start measuring how much twine you'll nee. Cut the twine a little
longer than necessary so it's easy to glue. Use your hot glue gun to attach the
twine to the frame. Remember to stretch out your wire as much as possible
Repeat this step as many times as you'd like depending on how big the frame is
Let it dry for about five minutes. Hang your clothes pins along with the
pictures or quotes and you're done.
You can do this with small and large frames. It would be really fun to have
guests bring in pictures of you throughout the years and hang them on
clothespins as they come in.
Photos make any party more memorable and having photo props allows your party
guests to be a little bit more fun and adventurous. Also be sure to create a
social media hashtag for your graduation party and add it to the props so that
your guests can tag you on your special day.
Draw a three-inch box on each corner of your poster board. Draw a straight line
from one corner of the box horizontally to the other side. Repeat for the top and
sides of the poster board. Use the crafting knife to cut out the
rectangular frame. You should be left with a large picture frame. Set that
aside. Take your gold poster board and flip it over. Place your cup upside down
and trace the circumference with your pencil. Repeat until you cover one and a
half poster boards. Cut out the circles and start placing them on your frame
until it's covered. Once you're happy with the placement start gluing them
down with your glue gun. Take your brush and add glue to the desired circles and
top with glitter.
Set with the spray, add your hashtag of choice and snap away. It'll be so fun
to see all the photos your friends and family took at your graduation party.
It's always great to get advice from family and friends, especially when you
can take it with you wherever you go. This DIY shadow box will allow you to
cherish special thoughts and wishes for years to come.
Take apart your shadow box. Cut a slit on the top of your box with a crafting
knife. With a drill carefully follow the slit. Be sure to wear safety goggles. Sand
to smooth it out. Paint your box and set it to dry.
Glue your principal to the back of the box. Once it's dry place the frame back
on the shadow box and make sure it's closed all the way.
Have your guests decorate your bookmarks and add their favorite piece of advice
for the graduate and slide it in the box.
It's always good to give your guests a little thank-you party favor for
celebrating your special day with you. Besides who doesn't love candy? You can
put these DIY mason jars as table centerpieces or pass them out at the end
of your event. Cut slits to the bottom of your gold paper to make fringe. Wrap the
thin piece around the bottom of the lid in blue. Add the square to the top of the
lid and glue. Take your rope and glue it to the top of the black square. Cover it
with the small circle cut out. Take your fringe and wrap it around the rope. Don't
forget to glue. Now for the best part, add candy to your jar and seal.
With these DIY ideas your graduation party will be amazing. It just takes a
little creativity and some crafting and you're on your way to celebrating.
