Fall Party Supply Sources

Fall is so close, I can almost taste it.  (Yes, I'm saying this in spite of the near one hundred degree weather we've had the past couple of days.)  College football kicks off this weekend, and I hope cooler weather follows shortly thereafter. I don't know what it is about this time of year, but it seems like we have a lot more gatherings; tailgate parties, fall parties (because fall party food is the absolute best), Halloween parties. And those all usher in Thanksgiving and the Christmas season.  For that reason, I am sharing with you my favorite places for adorable and affordable party supplies.  Gearing up for a football viewing party?  Planning a fall soiree? Don't worry. I've got you covered.

TomKat Studio

I love TomKat Studio. If you want trendy, on-point party supplies, then this is for you.  They have anything from party decorations to Cricut items and baking supplies. They also have printables for your event. (And you know I love a good printable.)

I just recently placed an order with Just Artifacts, and I was really impressed with both the items offered and the low prices. Seriously, you have to check them out! They have anything you could possibly need for a party or gathering! Tissue paper poms, paper lanterns, tissue tassels, and cute buffet supplies. 


Etsy

The Lovely Memories

It's no secret that I love Etsy, and while searching for party supplies, this was no exception.  There is a plethora of goods for your gathering at any given time. If you know specific keywords to type in, then your search should be easy. But shifting through all of the many, many Etsy shops can be overwhelming. Here are a few I found that had both great prices and quality items. 

The Lovely Memories has paper treat bags, stripey straws, favors, and personalized invitations. Check out their wooden chalkboard buffet easels.

Road Side Chick

I love RoadSideChick!  She has the best assortment of favor and food boxes and plastic mason jars with lids. I loved this pumpkin cookie cutter. See how it comes with the cookie and frosting recipe? Would be great for home or a gift.

Team Color Wreath Tutorial

Are you ready for some football?

Today is the Eve of a very important day!  That's right. It's that time of year.  College football is in full swing again, and at the Henderson home, many a "Roll Tide!" will be heard!  (My husband actually told me a couple days ago to get out the Alabama decorations. Not that I have a lot, but I will kindly oblige my pigskin-loving hubby.)

In honor of the arrival of the college football season, I thought I would give a quick tutorial on how to make a team color wreath. Mine, of course, is decked out in houndstooth, crimson, and white, but make yours any color you want!  Don't worry. I won't judge.  To each his own.

Team Color Wreath

What you will need:

-Wreath form

-Burlap, fabric, and felt in your team colors

-Buttons (optional)

-Scissors

-Hot glue gun

Making the Wreath:

1.  Wrap wreath form with burlap or fabric. (I used a straw wreath form)

2. Make burlap, felt, and fabric flowers. I used a couple of tutorials that were really helpful so I will just share those.   For variations of felt flowers, take a look at these tutorials here and here. You could also check out this site with some great patterns for felt flowers. For burlap flowers, check out this wonderful little tutorial.

3.After you have made your flowers, hot glue them on your wreath.

4. Add embellishments.  I added buttons and some fabric leaves.  To make the fabric leaves, cut fabric and felt into the shape of a leaf and glue the fabric to the felt. This gives it a little stability.  Then place them on your wreath wherever you want!

For all of you Auburn fans!

Easy, huh?  Making the flowers can take a little time, but once you get the hang of it, it's a breeze!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  Happy football viewing!
