Light AwayThis two-tiered crowd-pleaser is a cinch to DIY. The details? We tied ribbons to two sizes of embroidery hoops (using the lark’s head knot), and tied the tiers together. Place it over a pre-existing fixture, or hang a bulb in the center using a pendant light kit!

Don't stop there!The lark’s head knot can be used in other fun party projects too. Keep

knotting to craft a frilly princess tutu for your birthday girl.

<< Hide and Go SweetA glittery, cascading ribbon wall makes the perfect picture spot—or the prettiest play space ever! The key here is texture: We mixed classic satin ribbons with other types of ribbon like canvas, lace, tulle, organza and more. And we tied them all to a curtain rod at the top.

All Twirl >>The lark’s head knot is a great way to secure ribbon to just about anything.Measure and cut elastic to fit your little one’s waist, allowing a few inches of wiggle room. Then make a loop and pull the ends through. Reinforce the knots with hot glue, so she can dance, leap and twirl the day away.
