Garland banners are such an easy way to decorate graduation party tables and candy buffets. With a little creativity, you can brighten up your party space even further by incorporating these 3 creative uses for garland banners! Keep reading to see how we used this personalized Chalkboard Cheers garland banner to accent a recent graduation party.

Creative Use #1: Show everyone just how excited you are for the graduate’s “bright” future by stringing light bulbs from clear fishing wire, then hanging the bulbs alongside your garland banner letters.

Creative Use #2: Instead of stringing each banner letter on the included satin ribbon, string the letters individually from clear fishing wire and stagger them in an uneven pattern. The resulting display will add even more interest to a candy buffet table!

Creative Use #3: Don’t hang your garland banner at all – instead, tape individual letters to wooden sticks or striped straws, then place each stick into a bowl of candy or other treats. Although we do not have a photo to show off this fun idea, we promise that it’s adorable!

Diploma napkin wraps are a fun way to dress up your buffet table or each individual place setting. You can quickly and economically create this graduation craft idea - They are sure to add a lot of extra pizazz to your event!

You will need:

Graduation Party Napkins and Utensils (Fun color ideas are to coordinate with your graduation party theme or match the school colors - either the colors of the school they are graduating from or the colors of the higher education institution they are headed to.)

Skinny Ribbon, found in the craft section of your local variety store

Embroidery Thread, split into single strands

White Office Paper

Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Cut strips of the white office paper, 8.5" x 1.5" and lengths of embroidery thread, 5" long

Roll the strip of office paper into a tight tube and tie off with the embroidery thread, wrapped around the tube multiple times, then tied in a knot. Trim excess.

Roll your utensils into a napkin, straight across, not angled from corner to corner, and fasten off with a length of skinny ribbon. You can carefully glue the ribbon, making sure to not attach it to the napkin itself or gently tie into a knot.

Fasten the mini diploma to the front of the skinny ribbon with a tiny dot of hot glue, using the same caution as fastening at the back.

Display your adorable graduation napkin wraps at the buffet table or at each place setting on your banquet tables for an extra-special touch everyone will remember! See more graduation DIY ideas here and view the entire party here.
