With Easter now over, summer is in full swing! From sunny BBQs to pub beer gardens, the reasons to gather and meet up with your nearest and dearest is endless! If you are hosting a party soon, I have a DIY decoration idea for you that takes hardly any time to do but will really pop in any space it is put in!

Good Morning Lovelies, 

Summer events are starting lovelies! Festivals have begun, BBQs are being hosted and local gatherings in pub gardens are being spotted all over the place! However, when it comes to all of these, the first sign that highlights how good they are going to be is the vibes that the settings present! 

Therefore, to help make sure that your next hosting duties present the best atmosphere, I thought I would share a fun decoration that you can make in minutes! Really fun, it truly makes the party vibes pop! It’s time to head to the Tiki bar…

Tools

Different Coloured Paper or Card

Glue or Double Sided Sticky Tape

String or Twine

Scissors

Printable Summer Shape Stencils (Optional)

Method

1. Start by creating your tropical shapes by either drawing freehand or drawing around the stencils on the card. Think pineapples, suns, flowers and flamingoes. 
2. Taking your scissors, cut out the shapes and place to one side or if you would like to add further details, use pens, pencils or embellishments to make them really pop. 
3. Grab your string or twine and lay out a line that will fit all your shapes on. Pop a small dot of glue or tape on to the string for each cut out, leaving a little space between each one, before applying them. 
4. Once finished, use some blue tack or simply tie the string around your fence or wall to hang it, instant summer vibes have arrived!

This is so easy to do lovelies that you can even get the little ones involved in making it! Plus, you can change the shapes throughout the year to suit every season! The possibilities are endless!
