make it: googly eye party backdrop
this diy party backdrop by rebecca thuss has been a long-time favorite of ours...so when we launched our new eyeball plates, we thought it would be fun to use them to create a totally eye-catching backdrop of our own! this backdrop would be so perfect to use as a photo or table backdrop for halloween or a monsters party!
MATERIALS
- eyeball plates (you'll need 30-40 plates for a table-sized backdrop)
- 1” binder rings
- 1/8” hole punch
- ruler
- scissors
INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
to make a template, cut away the rim of an eyeball plate and fold in half to form a crease. unfold and punch two holes along the crease, 1/4” away from each edge.
STEP 2
use the template created in step 1 as a guide to punch holes in remaining plates, making sure to vary the placement of the holes so the eyeballs are oriented in different directions.
STEP 3
connect plates using 1” binder rings so they form chains measuring the desired length of the backdrop. use string and tape to hang, staggering the starting height of every other chain so the plates nest together!
STEP 4
time to party!
