Fill it with toddler-friendly goodies + creative fun 3.

Save this budget-friendly party hack for your next sports night, tailgate, or team celebration! I loved the look of those trendy turf table runners for my Kentucky Derby party, but not the price tag…so I made my own version for way less by cutting up a large 6’x8’ turf rug that was under $25. It gave me multiple runners for less than the cost of buying just one pre-made version, and added the perfect sporty vibe to the setup. This would be so fun for: • Football tailgates • Super Bowl parties • World Cup watch parties • Baseball birthdays • End of season team parties • March Madness setups • Golf-themed parties • Soccer snacks for game day • Little league celebrations • Sports banquets • Backyard BBQs • Fantasy football draft nights • Graduation parties for sports lovers One of those little hosting details that makes everything feel extra fun without being complicated.

A softball win, a baseball win, and the cutest little backyard DIY Derby party! 🐎🐎🐎 Such a fun day! I ended up moving my balloon garland/arch to the side gate entrance of our backyard and was amazed how easy it was to move and clamp right on to the gate with this party stand! Also, I bought one of the turf table runners from Michael’s and it was like $30, but then I realized you can just get a giant like 8x6’ turf rug from Home Depot for under $30 and just cut it into a BUNCH of table runners! This is my new favorite budget party hack for sports themed parties or tailgating!! It made the red roses stand out everywhere! Comment DERBY for any links, I’ll link everything that I can find. Make sure to check my page for all the DIY ideas like the centerpieces, fascinator, and balloon arch, and follow for more fun 🤩
#ad Let’s turn our home into Churchill Downs to celebrate the Kentucky Derby! This balloon setup completely transformed the space… and it was WAY easier than it looks. Here’s how to do it: Grab the Balloon Time air inflator to blow up all the balloons FAST Tie balloons in sets of 2, and then twist them into a cluster of 4, alternate colors and keep building until you have the desired length and fullness of your garland. Hang it on the wall using painters tape, or use a table stand like I did! (no wall damage, no tape, no stress) This is perfect for: • Parties • Birthdays • Baby showers • Backyard hosting Balloon Time helium tanks and inflators are such an easy way to completely transform your party space right at home, and I love that they’re celebrating 40 years as a trusted partner for celebrations big and small.

🍂 Easy Fall Kitchen Decor Idea! I used a few $3 fall garlands from Walmart (they’re on clearance right now!) and some mini foam craft pumpkins to decorate the tops of our kitchen cabinets and it’s so cozy in here now! I just added small nails at the top of each cabinet to help the garlands stay in place, and then slipped the foam pumpkins right over the nails so they stay perfectly where I want them. It’s such a simple, affordable way to give your kitchen those cozy fall vibes that can carry you straight through Thanksgiving. Everything I used is linked for you to shop, just comment “KITCHEN” and I’ll send you the links 🍁 Follow @makingfrugalfun for more easy + affordable ways to make your home feel cozy this season 🤍 #fallhomedecor #walmartfinds #falldecorideas #frugalhome #cozykitchen #thanksgivingdecor #affordabledecor #makingfrugalfun #budgetfriendlyhome #homedecoronabudget #frugalliving #diyhomedecor #simpledecorideas #cozyhomevibes #walmartdeals #seasonaldecor #LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

#ad Our Halloween setup didn’t happen overnight — it’s been a labor of love (and a few spooky-season trips to The Home Depot) over the years. Every fall we add a little more to our setup… a new pumpkin here, a strand of lights there, and it’s become one of our favorite family traditions. I love that The Home Depot has everything we need in one place, whether we’re tackling a DIY project or finding the perfect statement piece to make the yard come alive. If you’re dreaming of your own Halloween home glow-up, start at The Home Depot! The magic (and the savings) are seriously endless. ✨ Comment “SPOOKY” for links to shop our Home Depot Halloween favorites and more! #HauntedWithTheHomeDepot #BuildItIfYouDare #HomeDepotCreator #myTHD #THDHalloween @homedepot #LTKHome #LTKParties #LTKHalloween
