Applying painter's tape horizontally to the wall with sticky side out.

Step 1. Tape it up

Find a blank wall and measure up 7 feet from the floor. Place a pencil mark at the spot. Measure out 8 feet of painter’s tape and cut. Apply the tape horizontally to the wall at your mark, keeping the sticky side out.

Step 2. Spice it up

Cut the crepe paper streamers into 7-foot strips. Choose colors that will match the color scheme of your party. Stick the streamers to the tape, overlapping slightly. Continue to cut and hang until you have completely covered the wall. You can add a bunting or garland to the setup. If you have a little more room in your budget, order a custom Banner from Walgreens with the date of your party to include in the mix.
