If you’ve been following me in the last two years you know I’ve been working with sites like Wholesale Party Supplies and Birthday in a Box to create styled parties using their party materials. I’m not the only stylist they work with as they also have great talent like my long time friend Elizabeth. While it’s great to have coordinating party items, we both love to get creative and make our own pieces to really make the party theme come to life! Today we’re sharing some of our favorite uses of paper plates in party decor to make unique backdrops and party decorations across tons of different themes.
