Photo(s)-a-Day: tablecloth streamers

So this is something that I found on Pinterest, read the brief description, lost the pin, found the pin again, but the source page was removed. (Follow me so far?)

Other pinners were asking what the instructions were, so I tried it for Thing 2's birthday party & it looked WONDERFUL. :)
Now I'm blogging & pinning it so others can do it too.

All you have to do is go to the dollar store (we have Dollar Tree) & purchase coordinating colors of plastic rectangular table cloths & matching balloons. I picked up a variety balloon pack from Dollar Tree & was able to match table cloths with some of the colors.

Next, open the table cloths & cut them in half, length-wise. Now you'll have 2 long skinny plastic "cloths" from each table cloth.

Find your room's center. Take a "streamer" & attach to the ceiling in the center of the room. We used tacks to hold them on our textured ceiling. Pull the streamer out towards the edge of the room & attach to ceiling. We spread the outside ends out to their full width when attaching them.

We then attached a few of the coordinating balloons (with tacks into the tied ends) at the center of the streamers.
