Budget Party Decor: Decorating with paper

Paper can be fun, festive and ...cheap. Anyhow, paper is better than rubber(did you hear helium balloons' days are counted?) and low maintenance compared to fresh flowers. I love how people are using it more and more. Only google 'Decorating with paper' or 'DIY wedding' to see lots of amazing decor. I've rounded up a few ideas of how you can use paper for a party decor.

...Paper Garlands...

...Paper Daisies...

... Paper Bunting...

...Paper Pom-poms...

Make pom-poms using Martha's tutorial.

...Paper Snow Flakes...

Wiki How has a good tutorial on how to make a 3D snow flake (It's easier than you think!).

I can also think of paper flowers, butterflies, papier mache, pinatas... a whole lot of other possibilities. Heck, paper cutting is an ART. So is paper folding.
