Tropical décor is a fun way to add lush designs and vibrant color to summer pool parties, backyard barbecues, birthday celebrations, and more. Learn how to use COLORSHOT to transform your next party into a colorful luau with this tutorial from Oh Yay Studio! What you need: COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints (This project uses Cosmo, Summer Pedicure, Orange Slice, Treasure Chest, Island Girl, Mermaid, Scuba, Cash, With a Twist, and Lucky Penny) COLORSHOT White Primer Cardboard Pencil Glue Measuring tape Scissors or box cutter Faux tropical leaves Drop cloth Balloon archCut tree trunk from cardboard Start this tropical party décor DIY by creating a palm tree trunk from cardboard. Find the middle of your piece of cardboard and mark the center axis with a pencil. Measure 24” across the bottom (left to right), 5 feet up (top to bottom) and 6 inches at the top (left to right). Measure and mark 8” up from the center of the 24” base. Mark 12” (from left to right) along that 8” center line. Connect the outside point of the 12” (from step c) to the 24” (in step b) from top to bottom in a diagonal line. Draw a long diagonal line from the 12” (from step c) to the 6” (in step b) from top to bottom. Finally, cut out your cardboard tree trunk. Once cut, trace this trunk onto another piece of cardboard so that you are left with 2 identical cardboard tree trunks. Notch your tree trunks halfway by cutting out 2 strips down the center of the tree trunks from top to bottom. This is so that your tree trunks can slide in and fit together. Cut palm leaves from cardboard Next, cut out the palm tree leaves for your tropical party décor. Cut out oblong shapes with a pointed tip at one end and a straight edge on the other. You’ll need to create at least 5 of these leaf shapes, or more for a fuller tree. Cut 5-7 notches in your leaves to make them look more like palm branch leaves. Prime and spray paint the cardboard leaves Place your cardboard palm leaves and tree trunk onto a drop cloth or other protective surface cover in a well-ventilated area and get ready to paint! Prime both sides of the cardboard pieces with COLORSHOT White Primer and allow to dry completely. Create a two-toned look for your tropical party décor by spray painting half of each leaf with Cash and the other With a Twist. Spray paint the tree trunk with Lucky Penny for a lovely rose gold metallic base! Prime and spray paint the cardboard leaves Oh Yay Studio also created a colorful balloon arch with matching leaves for her tropical party décor! Place faux tropical leaves onto your drop cloth, then prime and paint with your desired colors. For this project, we used Cosmo, Summer Pedicure, Orange Slice, Treasure Chest, Island Girl, Mermaid, and Scuba to make super colorful leaves! Prime and spray paint the cardboard leaves It’s time to assemble your tropical party décor! Cut a circle about 7” in diameter glue a 3” strip of cardboard around the outer edge. You can spray paint this piece as well, but it will mostly be hidden by the cardboard leaves. Glue the circle to the top of the tree trunk and cut slits into the leaves so that they can slide into the side walls. Continue assembling the leaves to fill your cardboard palm tree. Tropical party décor display Carefully place the spray-painted leaves into your balloon arch and display your DIY tropical party décor!

Check out these decor ideas you can make in no time with love-at-first-sight effects! What you need: - COLORSHOT Premium Spray Paints (shown here: Stiletto, Cosmo, Farmer's Daughter, Marshmallow) - Chairs - Valentine's Day themed balloons - Charger plates First things first, you're going to want to choose your color palette. COLORSHOT Stiletto, Cosmo, Farmer's Daughter and Marshmallow make a lovely traditional Valentine's Day palette, but feel free to experiment and have fun with it! Maybe you're throwing an anti-Valentine's Day party with shades of black (we see your red heart and we want it painted black ...). Whatever colors you choose, they're going to look amazing. Have you ever thought of spray painting balloons? The result is so fab, and it's such an easy, affordable way to add vibrant pops of color and coordinate your decor with your overall theme. Speaking of coordinating your decor to your theme ... how about matching your chairs to your balloons?! We are so loving this ombre effect Beijos created throughout their entire party, even down to the cuisine! The great thing about spray painting your decor is that you can be sure it totally matches. (Isn't it annoying when your shades don't match exactly? Or is that just us?) Isn't this the most heart-pounding, stunning shade of red you've ever seen? So perfect for a chair, if we do say so ourselves. Of course, Farmer's Daughter is just as perfect. Basically all COLORSHOT colors are.

How beautiful are these place settings? You can add floral centerpieces, matching candies and even stemware in your color palette. Tip: Don't spend top dollar on dinner chargers ... head to the dollar store instead and pick up what you need, then spray paint them to enhance your table settings! For a pretty shade of gold, try COLORSHOT First Million or Treasure Chest for a brighter yellow gold. Seriously, how can you not love a party table this pretty? Happy Valentine's Day from COLORSHOT! However you're celebrating this year, we hope it's doing something that makes your heart happy (like using COLORSHOT for all of your projects).
Valentine Reverse Tie-Dye Quote Art Tee
Whether you're celebrating Valentine's Day with your significant other, your gal pals, or the most fantastic person you know - YOU - this custom Valentine's Day Quote Art T-shirt is the perfect tee to wear when Cupid gets out his bow and arrow. (Whether you decide to run towards his arrow or away from it is entirely up to you. We're not judging.) Make it clear who your true love is (can we say tacos, tacos and MORE TACOS?!) with the cool effects of the Tulip® Reverse Tie-Dye Kit and clever quote art made easy with Tulip® Fabric Paint Markers. Get the tutorial from Pretty Life Girls and get ready to get your grub on in style this Valentine's Day. What you need: - Tulip Reverse Tie-Dye Kit - Tuip 1-Color Fuchsia Dye Kit - Tulip Fabric Paint Markers - Black cotton T-shirt - Bucket or sink - Letter stencils - Iron - Thin cloth - T-shirt form/cardboard To prep your shirt for adding Color Changer from the Reverse Tie-Dye Kit, first twist or fold it according to your favorite tie-dye technique. For this shirt, Pretty Life Girls used the spiral tie-dye pattern, pinching the shirt fabric in the center and twisting the entire shirt into a spiral. Bind the shirt with rubber bands (using at least three to hold in place for the spiral technique). Place the bound shirt into a bucket or sink, then prepare and apply the Color Changer to your shirt according to the kit instructions. Let the Color Changer process on the shirt until your desired look has been achieved, then cut off the rubber bands and immediately rinse/launder according to instructions. If you want to add a pop of color to your shirt, now's the time! Leave your shirt damp after rinsing/washing, then mix your fuchsia (or desired) Tulip tie-dye according to instructions. You can place your shirt crumpled up in the bucket or laying flat on a covered work surface before applying dye; there's no wrong way to tie dye! Add your dye to your liking over the shirt, then let it process for the time recommended in the instructions. After the dye has set, wash and dry your shirt and you're ready for your quote art! And maybe a snack. (Mmmmm ... tacos ....) Tulip Fabric Paint Markers work on dark fabrics too, so get out your stencils and your Paint Markers and get ready to add some quote art! (We recommend placing a shirt form or piece of cardboard in between the layers of your shirt to prevent any paint from accidentally soaking through to the back of the shirt). Place your letter stencil on your shirt and use the white Paint Marker to color in the lettering. Remove the stencil and let the paint dry. Heat your iron to the hottest setting (no steam) and place a thin cloth over the top of the lettering. Iron for 60 seconds to heat set the ink. Look who's ready for Valentine's Day! But more importantly, who's ready for tacos???
