I get very excited about Cinco de Mayo. The food. The bold colors. The music. It gets me pretty ramped up. Or maybe it’s the huge pitcher of sangria that gets me ramped up. Either way, I’m in the mood for a fiesta.

Today, I’m taking some of the quintessential components of Cinco de Mayo and translating them into a few party-worthy projects that you can use year-round

  1. Love that banner. A thought on the tassels….knot the end of the cord and put a bit of glue on it and roll it in the middle-same time as the pick. As you remove the pick,give the tassel a little squeeze around the cord.
    Your drink is beautiful. Enjoy.
