Selected as Party of the Day on September 21st!
Mid Century Cactus Party
ByParty Recap
With fall right around the corner I wanted to squeeze in one last summer party, and since we still have 80 degree weather in Washington, fall still feels like a distant thought. I opted for the popular cactus theme with a slight twist, I wanted to evoke the feeling of mid-century Palm Springs.
My first thought was to have an awesome vintage starburst metal wall art for my backdrop. It really wasn't in the budget for this event, so I opted to make one! I bought a pack of paint stir sticks, spray painted them gold metallic and then hot glued them together in a pattern I liked. I then added an old glass drawer knob to the top. This was a fun re-purpose of paint stir sticks!
