Bring the allure of the jungle into your home beginning with the ceiling.
Whether you're throwing an adventurous bash for your child or a casual gathering for your grown-up friends, the adventure and intrigue of the jungle can create the perfect setting for your next gathering. Recreate the natural beauty of this one-of-a-kind ecosystem in your own home to transport your guests to another world. Don't deprive your guests of the full jungle experience; since much of the excitement in the jungle takes place above one's head, be sure to incorporate ceiling decorations into your décor.
Instructions
1. Measure the dimensions of your ceiling. Purchase fabric in those dimensions featuring large leaves and other jungle plants to appear as though you are under the plants' canopy. Stretch fabric across your ceiling and attach at the corners .
2. Make fake vines out of old paper shopping bags. Cut the bottom off a brown grocery bag, then cut the entire bag into three long strips. Twist the strips tightly to resemble a vine and join them at the ends with masking tape. Staple one end to the ceiling and let them hang realistically.
3. Cut colorful butterflies out of construction paper. Draw elaborate patterns on their wings and use a hole punch to attach fishing wire to each butterfly. Hang from the ceiling, making sure that they are high enough not to interfere with guests' movement.
4. Hide ceiling fixtures by draping mosquito netting around them. Fasten with staples.
