Everyone is always asking me how to create backdrops for dessert tables. Here is an incredibly easy and affordable DIY Party Backdrop using paper plates … YES I said paper plates! I used these fabulous French Bull plates for a Modern Adult Cocktail Party. It only takes minutes to finish and will add a nice decorative element to your party.
Pick out which paper plates you will use in your party backdrop. Lay out a few different configurations on your floor to figure out what looks best. Add the glue dots or masking tape to the back of your plates. I only used one glue dot per plate. On either a wall or a large foam board start to adhering your plates. I did not use a ruler or level. Simply eyeball it. Start with your bottom row first then do one side row. You can easily align the plates from there.
Repeat until you have finished your paper plate party backdrop.
If you are using a foam board, you will need to attach the foam board to the wall or rest it on the table and against the wall at a slight angle.
