There’s a particular satisfaction in looking around a party and knowing you made nearly everything in it. DIY birthday decor isn’t about saving money — though you will — it’s about the texture of handmade things: slightly imperfect paper flowers, a banner in your own handwriting, candlelight in jars you decorated yourself.

Here’s something nobody tells new parents about kids’ rooms: your child will not remember whether the bedding matched.
