Beautiful party decorations using cardboard boxes

An excellent option for decorating a party is to use huge cardboard boxes that you can line up and completely customize to your liking with colored paper or paint. You will not spend too much money and your party will look like never before !!

Some useful ideas: --- cover large carton boxes with plain paper and stick to each box a huge letter of cardboard or foamy. Then form the name of the party by placing box on box.
--- You can place the decorations with boxes right at the entrance of the party, or in an area reserved for selfies and photos.
--- To create a huge piece of lego, stick to each box some disposable dishes. Then paint evenly using spray paint.
--- Instead of letters you can choose to glue huge figures of the character of the themed party in each box
--- For a better visual effect form towers or pyramids with cardboard boxes.
