phd party how-to's

A few details on making the PhD party decor-

bookmark favors

fold book page in half and then in half again (tuck the second halves inside the fold so they're hidden)

trim each end evenly and use decorative packing tape to seal off both ends

punch holes in the top and thread a pom pom or tassle through them... done! hang on the favor pegboard to display.

 upcycled pomanders

punch out a pile of same sized circles from an old book page (old text books are fun to use, especially if you can find one in the graduate's area of study!)

fold the circles in half and glue the halves of two circles together. continue gluing halves together until you have a long, accordion like string of circles

place a doubled over loop of yarn into the center of the soon-to-be pomander and glue last two halves together

done! hang as party decor (these will double as Christmas ornaments later this year... love the double duty!)
