Instructions

    • 1

      Visit a home supply store and ask for any scraps they have of red carpet. Cut
      the scraps into three foot-wide strips and line them up length wise with a carpet
      razor. If you can't find carpet scraps, or you want to skip the cutting yourself,
      purchase a red carpet runner. There's no need to make it stretch the entire length of your sidewalk, even just a short strip on your porch or in your entry way will get the event off on the right foot.

      Purchase posters of life-size or almost life-size celebrities. Cut the silhouettes
      out of the poster and use the outline as a template for cutting out a piece of
      cardboard with the same dimensions. Glue the poster onto the cardboard. Tape
      the cardboard "celebrities" along your walls to make it look like a star-studded
      bash. If the poster you are working with is only the top half of a celebrity, cut it
      out and attach it to the cardboard backing, and then tape it's base to to a pair of
      pants or jeans before taping it to the wall. You can let guests take pictures with
      the stars as well.

      Hang strings of clear blinking strobe lights along the walls to mimic the look of
      photography flashes.
