How to Make Latticed Party Props

Lean unadorned lattice panels, which can be purchased at most garden centers and home supply stores, against a wall to bring an instant garden feel to any indoor party. This is the most inexpensive and least labor-intensive way to use lattice props at your party.

Add lattice cap molding (available where lattice is sold) to the edges of a piece of lattice to create a more polished look. Use the lattice panel as a prop at your backyard party to contain party-goers and keep them from wandering into the recesses of your yard, or as a screen for unsightly areas. You can use hinged lattice panels as a fence, to create a safe place for children to play at a family bash.

Drape lattice panels with faux vines or flowers for an indoor garden themed party, or adorn with real ivy. Lattice party props decorated this way make a beautiful backdrop for posed photographs, making lattice a economical choice for occasions like proms and formals.

Tie balloons to a lattice and decorate it with photographs of the guest of honor at a birthday party. For a festive kick of color, drape the lattice with streamers or weave ribbons throughout the lattice. The same concept can be used at holiday parties by incorporating ribbons or streamers in seasonal colors -- red, white, and blue at a Fourth of July party, or blue, white, and silver at a New Year's Eve celebration.
