Celebrate the Bride-to-Be Desert-Style With Cactus Sunnies

Picking a theme for your party is a must these days, what with all the decor options at party stores and inspiration on Pinterest. Lately we’ve really been feeling the desert theme, filled with dusty florals, cacti, sunsets and, most importantly, pools. Though a desert shindig is great for any type of gathering, today we’re going to focus on the ladies… one in particular: the bride-to-be. If you are the lucky gal who gets to plan her bachelorette party, and your BFF is all about that Palm Springs vibe, read on for a DIY that will let you check favors off your to-do list. After all, bachelorette parties are all about good times wearing matchy-matchy gear, right?

At Brit + Co we love to DIY instead of buy, so when it comes to parties, making is our jam. Today, in partnership with Maker’s Mart by Spellbinders, we’re encouraging you to ditch the store-bought goods and tap into your creativity by showing you how to embellish sunnies using succulent garden die templates. Once you get the basics, you can use these paper cut-outs to bedazzle everything for your party, whether it’s a bachelorette weekend, birthday or a summer celebration.

Oh hi there; I didn’t see you. I was so busy lounging by the pool. Oh what? You want my sunnies? Yeah, I get that. They’re pretty awesome. I made them.
