{Video} Paper Wheels Tutorial


Paper wheels are super easy to make and add a extra special touch to any party! Make various sizes and use as a backdrop. Adorn with paper or fabric accents. Add letters to create a banner. Your options are endless!

For this tutorial I used:

12x12" double-sided scrapbook paper
Scallop circle punch
Double-stick tape
Hot glue gun (always ask a parent!!)

For a medium/large wheel I cut 4, 6x12" pieces of paper. Then, I used the accordion fold to fold each sheet of paper (I fold over about 1"). Trim off any excess ends. Using double-stick tape, connect all four accordion folded sheets. Make sure all folds are facing the same way. I use hot glue and a punched circle to hold my wheels together.

Check out my quick video to give you a better idea of how to put these together:

{Video} Easy Streamer Backdrop


Streamers are such an affordable way to add a nice backdrop to any event table. They can also be a great photo prop backdrop!

A. Finished Backdrop
B. Gather materials. Streamers. Tape. Ribbon.
C. Cut ribbon the appropriate length for your backdrop. Cut streamers various lengths. Fold streamers in half. ( I make sure they are somewhat off, not exactly in half). Place ribbon over streamer.
D-E. Fold over streamer.
F. Tape fold.

I like to leave a little extra room so the streamers are adjustable. You can group them close together or spread them apart. Need an example? Take a peek at our Youtube video.
