Hang colorful materials from the ceiling to pull together the party decor.
Using ceiling decorations can bring your party space together for a creative, polished look. Even if your party doesn't have a specific theme, choose a color scheme to incorporate in your decorations. The colors you choose don't have to match the rest of the decorations, but they should complement the other elements and make the room pop. Decorative go-to items could include streamers, balloons and colorful fabric panels; pin or tape these to the ceiling.
Instructions
1. Inflate your balloons. Save time by using helium balloons; these will float up to the ceiling, so you won't have to attach them. You can quickly inflate them in a party store or at home using a helium tank. Otherwise, ask family or friends to blow up the balloons. Tie the ends with a piece of fishing line or colorful ribbon and attach them to the ceiling using masking tape or pushpins.
2. Measure the length of your ceiling. Use scissors to cut strips of crepe paper if they are longer than your ceiling. Use these to make colorful streamers to hang from wall to wall. Create a draping effect by attaching each strip end to either side of the room; then, pin or tape the halfway point of each strip to the ceiling. Another option is to simply allow the strips of crepe paper streamers to hang vertically from the ceiling, attaching only one end with pins or tape and leaving the rest to dangle.
3. Cut panels of fabric with your scissors to cover empty areas of the ceiling. The size and style of these panels is up to you; possible ideas include assembling square tiles of different fabrics on the ceiling to create checkerboard effect, or twisting long rectangular fabric panels to create a garland.
