Homemade Decorations For Casino Night Party

Hosting a casino night party can get expensive in a hurry especially when you HAVE to buy a few props like a
Casino Custom Banner and
Roulette Wheel. However, luckily if you have a bit of time you can always make a few of your decorations yourself. Here are a few suggestions to make your own casino night decorations.

Casino Streamers - You can create simple and cool looking casino streamers easily. Simply get a few papers of red and black construction paper. You then fold it up into many pieces and cut out a diamond or heart or spade or club. The idea being you are creating the equivalent of a winter time 'snowflake on paper' except using construction paper and card suits. The larger the piece of construction paper the more fold and the larger the streamer.

Table Felts - Go to (or call) your nearest fabric store and ask if they have any green felt. For each game you will need a piece of felt the size of your table plus about 6" - 12" overhang. Using black (or red) electrical tape mark out the areas for cards for whichever game you are designing. This is a simple and effective method to create a realistic casino layout, however, if you're looking for something more professional ShindigZ.com - the World's Largest Party Superstore has a variety of felt layouts starting at

Casino Danglers - The final decoration that looks good is casino danglers (in the image above). These are simply a miniature streamer, however, instead of making them 2-4" large you make them .5 - 1" wide and hang them from the ceiling downwards. They may bump into people's heads but that's fine.

These are a great way to decorate but if you don't have time then we suggest checking ShindigZ.com - the World's Largest Party Superstore as they have a large selection of casino party decorations at a reasonable price.
