My Party Closet: San Francisco Party

We San Franciscans love to love our city. So, I can’t think of a better party than one that’s centered around our favorite town. Like my other party closet parties, this one can put together in under an hour with a limited number of supplies. From your stash, you’ll need butcher paper, paint, a strand of white bistro lights, and a pretty tablecloth. Then, follow our DIY instructions (below) for painting a quick sketch of the Golden Gate Bridge as a party backdrop. After that, you’ll just need to run to the store to pick up a few simple flowers and a delicious pie.

Materials: Butcher Paper, Tape, Paint, Paintbrush

Cut off three large pieces of butcher paper and tape them together at the back.  Attach the paper to a wall to make painting easier.  Sketch out your image roughly with a pencil, then paint over in loose, broad strokes.  Don’t worry about detail, just get the general shape across.

    Love your necklace! I am on the hunt for a high, small table in my kitchen similar to yours. Would you share where you found it?

      It is from Ikea. The necklace (and person in the photo) is my friend Jessica! I’ll ask her where she got her necklace.

        The necklace is from Urban Outfitters (probably) from about 4 years ago.

    Thanks, Jordan,
    My band has entertained at many San Francisco parties over the years — mostly pretty fancy ones. So it’s refreshing to see you doing a perfectly fine job with just a few simple touches. The right ones, of course.

    Hello from Toronto,

    Well, I certainly hope S.F does not fall into the ocean. One of my most favorite cities where I keep going back again and again…Totally agree with your description. It’s perfect!
