Homemade Green Decorations for an Earth Day Party

 

You can make homemade green decorations for your Earth Day party. This article will show you how to make a soda bottle garland, tin can centerpiece, collage place card holders, and a lid banner.

Soda Bottle Garland

For this green Earth Day decoration you will need several soda bottles, a box cutter, scissors, yarn, paint, paintbrushes, and a hole puncher.

Start this party craft by cutting the soda bottles into three or four pieces. Use the razor to cut to the top and bottom off first. When you have several soda bottle pieces you can paint them however you like, or you can leave them plain. Then cut three long pieces of yarn and braid them together.

Punch holes into different parts of the bottles and start composing your garland by string the bottles onto the yarn. You can also tie the yarn braid around the mouth of bottles to make a flower like garland. When the entire braid is full your Earth Day party decoration is ready to be hung for your party.

Tin Can Centerpiece

For this green party decoration you will need a couple of tin cans, paint, paintbrushes, and glue. Start by arranging the tin cans in a circle. Use the glue to secure them together. You can also tie a ribbon around them if you like.

Then use the paint to paint a message or image on the tops of the cans. Happy Earth Day is a nice message to incorporate into your green party decoration. When the paint has dried your centerpiece is ready for your party.

Collage Place Card Holder

For this green party decoration you will need old wine corks, old magazines, scissors, a knife, and glue. You will also need small cards with your guests' name written on them.

Start this green Earth Day party decoration by using the knife to cut a slit in the length of the wine cork. Slice a small sliver off the length of the wine cork on the opposite side of the wine cork from the slice. Cut several images from magazines and glue them onto the entire wine cork to cover it.

When the glue is dry the wine cork will hold a place card for your Earth Day party. These decorations are also great party favors; guests can use them as note and photo holders in remembrance of your Earth Day party.

Lid Banner

You can make a lid banner for your Earth Day party by using old lids, paint, a hole puncher, ribbon, and paintbrushes.

Start making this decoration by arranging all of the lids in a line. Paint the words you would like on the lids by paint a single letter on each lid. Use the hole puncher to punch a hole in bot connecting sides of each lid.

Use small pieces of ribbon or yarn to tie the lids together in the correct order. Add ribbon to the ends of your banner and your Earth Day decoration is done.

These homemade decorations can be made for the party, but they are also a fun party activity for kids and adults. So try these homemade green decorations for your Earth Day party.
