Fun Orange & Teal Party Décor with Glue Dots®!

As a Dottess, I am given challenges to complete every month using Glue Dots®! This month, a very fun project: teal and orange party decor!

First up, a lovely and so easy to make Paper Garland!

Supplies:

Circle & Oval Punches (or really any shape you would like!)
Cardstock
Thread
Glue Dots® Craft Dots

Directions:

Punch out lots of shapes from the cardstock.

Place aGlue Dots® Craft Dot on a circle, place the string on top of the Glue Dot and sandwich it with the same shape & size shape.

Add more shapes in the same manner and soon you have a very cheery garland perfect for any occasion!

Any party usually has a surface to decorate, a table or a side table for serving drinks and munchies. What better to continue the color theme of the party than this fun Woven Table Runner!

Supplies:

Paper Cutter
Two sheets 8 1/2 X 11″Cardstock in two colors (4 sheets total)
Glue Dots® Ultra Thin Glue Dots Dispenser

Directions:

In each sheet of paper, cut six 1″ X 11″ strips and five 1/2″ strips of paper. Create a pattern. I used my paper cutter’s grid to make sure they stayed square with each other.

Replicate the pattern going the other direction by weaving the strips of paper. Secure paper where they meet with Glue Dot from dispenser.

Continue weaving strips of paper following your pattern. Make sure you stay a consistent width apart. I used 1/2″ between each strip of paper, regardless of the width. When I reached the end of the strip, I shortened the strips so the raw edges would not show when I flipped the runner over.

I did want a longer table runner, so I added additional strips of paper to increase the length of the runner.

I continued adding strips staying consistent with my pattern and the 90 degree angles.

And before I knew it, I had a really fun table runner of the perfect size for my end table! I trimmed the edges so I had a bit of overhang on each short end and a bit of random whimsy along the longer side.
