party popper place cards are my fave

Jumping from Halloween to Christmas, that’s how I roll.

I just announced the diy holiday workshop I’ll be hosting at west elm next week (rsvp here!) so I thought I’d share the party popper project in action as place cards.

Having one of these poppers at each setting adds some fancy and fun to the table. You can fill them with confetti, money, fortunes, special prizes, or treats. Even if you’re not planning on having guests, make them for your family. They’ll love them so much, it might lead to a better Christmas gift for you.

Along with the poppers, you can make an easy centerpiece (no floral design required) to add some festive to the table. Simply mix and match ornaments, tissue balls, and garlands then cluster them together. I used these mid-century paper ornaments, mercury ball ornaments, green tissue balls, and this felt garland.

Get the easy tutorial for the poppers on this advent post from last year. Or if you’re in Denver, Austin, Edina (Minnesota), St. Louis, Chicago, Oakbrook, Indianapolis, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, Durham, Charlotte, Birmingham (Alabama), New Orleans, or El Paso – you can come and make them at your local west elm store next week. Get the full details and rsvp right here. Pull, pop hooray!

UPDATE: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I won’t be able to host the workshop at the Denver store. But the good news is Jennifer Little will be stepping in for me! She’s one of my favorite people with southern charm that will knock your socks off so you’re really lucky.
