I've been obsessed with these "puff balls" as my mom and I like to call them since seeing our friend use them at her wedding when I was 14. We used the puff balls for YEARS afterwards at various events and they always helped tie the event together. They also only involve 3 THINGS! Hot glue, white round lanterns and white cupcake liners. It's that simple :)

⁣NEW FAVORITE GARLAND ⠀
⠀
I had so much fun making this garland using only 5 things!⠀
⠀
•Streamers or tissue paper ⠀
•Plastic gardening fencing (I bought mine at Ace for under $15 for 25ft. Which is plenty) ⠀⠀
•Christmas lights (optional)⠀
•Zip ties and binder clips (for hanging) you can also use sturdy tape⠀
⠀
It does take some time to make depending on the length of the garland. I would suggest carving out 2-4 hours of your day to make it.

ZIP TIES ARE SO UNDERRATED

I have developed a supply for any event and zip ties are at the top of the list!

Here are some of my favorite ways you can use them:

*Can hold lights in place on archways, walls, wire, you name it! They help lights not shift.

*Can secure flowers in a bouquet or an arrangement while organizing them. When you are finished cut the extra part off and tie a ribbon around the zip tie.

*Fasten any loose decoration from an archway or from any fixture.

There isn't an event I have done where I don't bring zip ties with me. They truly work magic when things break or won't stay unexpectedly!

This is the easiest way to dye coffee filters.

There are so many different projects you can use coffee filters with! Garland, flowers and so much more!

Here's a couple of tips for dying your coffee filters:
1. If the coffee filter color is too light, wait till they are dry and dip in them a second or third time in the dye.
2. Only put three coffee filters on a baking sheet at a time- if you do more, they won't dry.
3. You can also let them air dry but I have found that it is easier just to put them in the oven while you're working on the project.
4. Don't be afraid to experiment! Try mixing colors if you want to make a multi-color filter. It's easier than you think!
5. If your filters don't look perfect, remember the beauty is in the imperfections :)

Create a backdrop that compliments a BEAUTIFUL person!

COULD SHE BE MORE GORGEOUS!?!? This is my (sort of) cousin Maggie. She is absolutely incredible! From her mad running skills to her being my maid of honor, she has impacted my life and SO many others in countless ways by her humor, service and love. I'm beyond grateful for her friendship and example. She's seriously going to kill it at BYU-Idaho!

6 TIPS FOR PLANNING AND BUDGETING YOUR EVENT

The key to not overspending is planning. It’s as simple as that. That’s why I’ve learned the pre event planning is as important as the day of the event. When you have a strong foundation, there will be less wrinkles the day of and you will likely stay within your budget.

1. Understand who your audience is. You are going to want to pick a different color scheme or theme depending on if you are doing an event for a middle school, or for a 85-year-old’s birthday party. Try to think of things that match your audience. LOOK on PINTEREST. Pin color schemes you like or styles. THIS IS THE TIME TO LET YOUR IMAGINATION RUN!

2. PICK YOUR THEME AND STICK WITH IT. This is sometimes difficult to do. I would say if you don’t have a vision in your head, it’s easy to get lost. Before purchasing an item, ask yourself “does this fit my colors? Does this fit with the other Décor?” if not, you don’t need it.

3. Determine a budget and your main pieces. I find the part I like the least about events is money! Whether you are planning your own wedding with a budget of $5,000 or a budget of $100 for a school sponsored dance, you must be aware of the budget in relation to what you want to see happen. Look up basic costs to make an archway or to hire a DJ before sticking to a plan. Sometimes a tight budget requires you to make sacrifices but focus on the pieces you want to shine!

4. Layout your event. Whether the event is in your living room or a grand hall, visit the space and visualize where you want things to go. It can be as simple as making a couple of notes of the area and getting dimensions for the space. Then, once you have time, try your best to create your own floorplan. I can’t tell you how much money it saves you when you know what you want before you start buying. It also helps you stay focused on the theme.

5. Make a list of everything you will need. This is everything from spray glue to tablecloths. It is important to make a rough estimate of the cost of everything you need to buy. This allows you to see where you need to cut back, or where you have a little wiggle room. I like to set aside $100 (or a reasonable amount) for day of emergencies. Just in case something isn’t working properly, or you need more flowers.

6. Plan out your time. Whether you have a year or 2 weeks, you need to plan it out! I personally love paper planners. I currently am using a Papier planner and I love it! I would highly recommend them. I like to make a big check list of everything that needs to get done before the event and (later) a list of day of things. Once I have made the list, I prioritize what needs to be done first. I then set due dates for parts of the event. If you are working with a crew it is also helpful to write this on a white board with assignments, so they know what still needs to be done.

Along with planners, if I don’t like my planner, I won’t use it. Make sure you find one with a lot of space to write and matches your style. Just like journals, you will never regret splurging on a good planner.

Once you have everything organized and you have done your research, you are ready to get started! I wish you the best of luck!

Let me know if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see!

I wanted to share why I'm starting this page and a little bit about myself!

My name is Bailey Hunter and I love making messes. Since the time I can remember I have been a creator. My parents learned very early on that I needed to experience everything (and that means a lot of messes). From creating mud pies for fairies in the backyard, to mixing markers to find that right shade for my Mother’s Day card, even though I was messy, I was determined from the beginning to be a creator for others.

When I was 9, I discovered I had a knack for planning big parties. I used to have a notebook where I would clip out party ideas from American Girl magazines and write notes about the ideas I had just discovered. I loved the whole process of planning and creating something greater than a two-dimensional piece of art. I loved that it made people happy, and that made me happy. From the time I was 9 on, I was known for throwing great parties. It’s true, you can ask any of my classmates. I was known to go the extra mile.

The older I grew, the more my party planning expanded. I started helping my mom with weddings, birthday parties, church dances and funerals. Along with helping my mom, I started taking on school sponsored events such as dances and other activities. During my junior year, I planned my high school’s prom. By the time I was 18, I had helped with over 25 different events. I learned quickly I had a gift for making something out of nothing. Growing up I learned the importance of budgeting and with the help of my mom, I learned how to put on a memorable event on a very tight budget.

Recently, I got married to an incredible man who supports me in my creations and endeavors. It has been a dream of mine since prom to share my talents with those around me. Now that I am back in school and not planning my own wedding, I'm finally settled enough to share my “how-to event pieces” with the world through Instagram and Facebook. I want everyone to have the opportunity to share this joy with those they love the most. I love you guys SOOO much and hope you can find inspiration in what I post!
