Planning a birthday party is exciting. But you don’t need to spend too much money on expensive decorations to make a party look fabulous. After all, even many escape room companies use DIY décor for their games these days!  

So, you can make some DIY decorations at home yourself, which will then add some personal touch to the party! It will make the party feel much more special. Here are some of the best DIY birthday party decor ideas trending today:  

  • Balloon Garland 

A balloon garland can make any room festive and fun. It’s so easy to create and comes in colors that go according to your theme. What you will need is just a few balloons, some string, and some tape.   

Blow them up. Then tie them to the string and begin making the garland shape. You can hang it above a doorway or round a table or, of course, make it a photo backdrop. Further, you can make it way prettier with some greenery or flowers added.  

  • Photo Wall 

Photo walls are a great way of remembering cherished moments. Get some memorable photos of the birthday person printed out. Then get creative on how you are going to hang them up.   

You could make a heart shape, spell out the age, or just hang up the whole timeline of his or her life. You can use washi tape or small clips to decorate it. In this way, you can now turn a simple wall into something different.   

  • Create Your Own Flower Arrangement 

Fresh flowers bring elegance as well as a pop of colors to any party. You can make your own bouquets instead of the expensive store-bought ones. Choose flowers that match your color theme or simply use whatever blooms are around.   

You can place them in glass jars or bottles and small vases. You can tie a ribbon or twine around the jars, and these can be scattered around for that lovely and natural look.  

  • Custom Streamers 

Perhaps the most traditional birthday decoration for your location would be a banner. These are simple yet extremely personal decorations for a birthday. For this, you can use colored paper or cardboard and cut letters that spell “Happy Birthday.”   

In fact, you can even use the name of the birthday person to customize your streamer. Then hang it up with something above the table, or even across the entrance if the entrance leads to some indoor celebration venue. Lastly, don’t forget glitter and a good deal of stickers or miniature flowers.  

  • Party Hats and Crowns 

Party hats are always perfect for any birthday party, and making them is pretty easy. You just need colored paper, glue, and elastic bands.  

Decorate your custom hat with glitter, stickers, or even small pom-poms. For a fancier idea, make a crown out of gold or silver paper for the birthday person. It’s an easy DIY project for kids’ parties, but adults can have fun with it too!  

  • Table centerpieces 

A beautifully decorated table often ends up as one of the main highlights of your party. You can create your own candles, flowers, or small decorations that can immediately and precisely fit the theme.   

You can put different colored beads, shells, or even tiny lights inside the glass jars. Mini chalkboards also turn out fabulous in writing cute messages or birthday wishes on them. They are easy to make and impressive to the guests.  

  • Do It Yourself Photo Booth 

Having a photo booth at your party can be an efficient way to please the crowd! You can actually use a sheet or curtain or even a large piece of colored paper for the background. Then, add fun hats, glasses, and signs for the guests to hold.   

You can even create the props using cardboard and colored markers. It is an amazing DIY photo booth that will keep everyone engaged and create fantastic memories.  

  • Fairy Lights 

With fairy lights, you’ll definitely make your party room full of magic at a cheap price. Hang them along walls or round tables or put them inside plants to make them cozy.  

Additionally, you can fill glass jars or bottles and have the simplest yet beautiful centerpiece. Fairy lights work amazingly for indoor and outdoor parties and look great in photos, too.  

  • DIY Confetti Balloons 

The confetti balloons will give your décor the popping color effect. Fill confetti in clear balloons before inflating them. You can cut up pieces of colored paper or just use pre-cut confetti in the market.   

Tie colored ribbons around the inflated balloons and distribute them around the party area. Pop the balloons at the appropriate time, and the confetti inside the balloons will add a great surprise to the party!
