These hibiscus flowers and a tiki mask make for instant luau ambianceThese party decorations are bursting with tropical colors! They coordinate with my luau invitations, cupcake toppers, napkin rings and cocktail picks, and can be used as centerpieces, hanging decor, table scatters or any number of other creative applications. There is a zip file with the templates and instructions below. There are two hibiscus flowers, a large tiki totem with "Aloha!!" on it, a base to set the totem in, and instructions.
You'll need PDF reader software to view the instructions. (The printable files themselves are jpgs.) You can get free Adobe Reader software here.
Tips for using these luau decoration printables
After you download the PDF templates, all you need to do to create these luau decorations is make sure you have some good card stock, a color printer (set on the "Best" setting or the equivalent on your printer) and a sharp pair of curved manicure scissors. You can use regular scissors but the manicure scissors will probably increase your cutting accuracy.
The templates are already sized, so just print as many of each as you want. Then cut them out using the manicure scissors. And if you want to make them sparkle, you can use Elmer's 3D glitter pens, Glitter ModPodge or the equivalent to embellish them. As I always recommend, though, don't use too much glitter. These decorations will go from cute to cheesy in a hurry if you do.
The tiki mask comes with its own printable standAdding artificial flowers to the printables can make the displays even more fun!
If you'd like, you can combine the tiki mask and flowers to create a table centerpiece. I used a stand like restaurants use to hold small menus to make the mask stand up. The mask required a little support, though, which came from some cardboard strips that I taped to the back. I then added some artificial flowers around the base, both to cover up the stand and to make the centerpiece more festive.
The flowers can also be used alone as wall decorations, table scatters or banners.
The printable flowers, plus a fishing net and grass skirt, create a truly tropical feel
