Tropical Flower Crafts
We love all things tropical here at The Purple Pumpkin Blog, and we especially love to help people throw their own tropical, Hawaiian luau parties at home!
It all started with My 40th [Un] Birthday Hawaiian Luau, where my dad and husband made an awesome Tiki Bar Using Old Pallets + Hawaiian Party Decorations, and I curated 50+ Hawaiian Recipes for a Hawaiian Tropical Party.
I have plenty of food and drink ideas for tropical and Hawaiian parties, including Luau Party Food and Hawaiian Themed Desserts.
And then there is my Hawaiian Margarita Cocktail which is extremely popular over on Pinterest. (Make sure you have The Best Hawaiian Margarita Cocktail Supplies to make your tropical beverages!)
And Hawaiian parties don’t have to be thrown in the summer only! Oh, no, I’ve even told you How To Throw An Awesome Halloween Tiki Party!

However, making your own is a great way to save a little bit of money (especially if you have crafty supplies on hand) and to add a bit of your own personality to your decor.
