7 DIY Party Decor Essentials


Throwing a party is all about creativity, and DIY decorations can make your event stand out. Whether you're a seasoned party planner or just getting started, having the right craft supplies can save you time and effort while ensuring stunning results. Here are 7 must-have tools that every DIY party decorator should have in their toolkit!

1. Balloon Arch Kit + Tool Kit

Nothing says "wow!" quite like a stunning balloon arch at your party! Whether it's for a birthday, wedding, or baby shower, a balloon garland arch kit makes it super easy to create an eye-catching backdrop with balloons in different sizes and colors to match your theme.

Of course, putting together a balloon arch is much easier with the right tools! A balloon tool kit takes the hassle out of assembly, giving you everything you need—like balloon strips, glue dots, a ribbon roll, and a handy balloon tie—to secure and shape your arch effortlessly.

2. Electric Balloon Pump

And if you’re making a balloon arch, you’ll definitely want a balloon pump to save your lungs! Inflating dozens of balloons by hand? No thanks. An electric balloon pump speeds up the process and makes balloon garlands, centerpieces, and arches come together effortlessly.

3. Foam Boards & Floral Foam

Whether you're making custom signs, backdrops, or floral arrangements, foam boards and floral foam help add dimension and structure to your decor. These materials allow you to build eye-catching displays with ease.

4. Hot Glue Gun

A hot glue gun is a lifesaver for securing decorations, assembling centerpieces, and making quick fixes. Tip: Get a cordless version because it provides more flexibility, so you can work without worrying about messy cords getting in the way.

5. Glitters!

A little sparkle goes a long way in making your party decorations pop! Whether you’re adding shimmer to table centerpieces, cake toppers, or DIY invitations, craft fine glitter gives a dazzling finish, while glitter glue makes it easy to apply sparkle without the mess.

6. Vinyl Cutter or Cricut Machine

If you love adding personalized touches to your party decor, a Cricut or vinyl cutter is a total game-changer. It makes cutting intricate designs for banners, cake toppers, and custom signs effortless, giving your DIY decorations that professional, polished look.

Of course, a regular pair of scissors will do for simpler projects, but if you want to take your creativity up a notch (and save a ton of time), a cutting machine is definitely worth it!

7. Thank-You Sticker Rolls

Adding a personal touch to party favors is easy with thank-you stickers. Use them on gift bags, party favors, or even custom treats to show appreciation to your guests in a stylish way.
