@the_avantgarde_ kitchen reveal for my Glacier Soiree! Had the idea of making an ice wall and glacier wall, but had no idea how I’d make it come to life. After much researching, I came across Josh’s ice party (tagged) ... I was floored. Between the paper wall and the gift card boxes? Genius. Stay tuned for part 2, doing the dining room and entryway next! In the meantime, I’ve linked all of the supplies I’ve used here in the link in my bio.

The creator documents her process of transforming her kitchen for a 'Glacier Soiree' Christmas party. She shows how she creates an 'ice wall' on her kitchen island using clear gift boxes and LED lights, adds a 'floating icy storm' on the ceiling with branches, wraps her pendant lights in cling wrap, and builds a backlit 'glacier' wall with crumpled paper. She concludes by showing the final result and teasing the next part of the home transformation.

I wasn't about to host a boring Christmas party.

oh my GOD.

And the theme: a glacier soiree.

But in case you're new here, I like to make things that looked expensive on a budget.

And today, I want to feel like I'm in the arctic tundra using hot glue to create the look of melted ice underneath my island.

Which would only be complete by floating an icy storm above it out of tinsel and branches.

Next thing you know, I'm wrapping my pendants in cling wrap to look like they've been frosted over before creating the craziest backlit glacier out of crumpled up craft paper.

But even after all that I was still hung up on how I was going to make icicles and using an old shower curtain to do it may have been the biggest breakthrough that day.

Here's how this side is looking so far.

I still cannot believe that I made that back wall out of paper you guys. What?

Do I keep the lights warm or cool colored?

Anyways, stay tuned because next I have this entire side to do.

Next thing you know, I'm wrapping my pennants in cling wrap to look like they've been frosted over before creating the craziest backlit glacier out of crumpled up rank paper. But even after all that, I was still hung up on how I was gonna make icicles, and using an old shower curtain to do it may have been the biggest breakthrough through that day. Here's how this side is looking so far. I still cannot believe that I made that back wall out of paper, you guys. What? Do I keep the lights warm or cool colored?
