Whether it be for displaying instructions or holding up a sign, we frequently find ourselves reaching for our decorative easels. We prefer sturdy pieces in white, silver or black — made from metal or wood. Next time you’re out and about, stock up in a variety of shapes and colors.

Here are a few more chalkboard ideas. It can be helpful to collect several chalkboards in a variety of shapes and sizes. The red chalkboard above was a simple DIY project using an old kitchen cabinet door, chalkboard paint and red craft paint for the border.

It’s inevitable that something will need to be taped to a wall, door or ceiling at your party—we recommend {red} washi tape. This decorative masking tape is strong enough to hold paper banners in place yet gentle enough to not damage the paint on your walls or ceiling.

Painter’s tape is also a great option for tacking up décor, but we love that washi tape comes in so many colors and patterns to coordinate with any party.
