When Sabien Engelenburg wanted to create some lasting decor for her daughter's birthday, she whipped out her sewing machine and a trunk full of colorful scraps from her grandmother. Hours later, one colorful party banner—as well as the idea for a company—were born.
Though you may not be as enterprising as Sabien, you can still be as smart about your party decor, using festive flags, pom poms, and bunting from ENGEL. Her effortless banners make you look like a design genius, transforming any room into a party venue in an instant.
