How to Throw the Ultimate Winter Olympics Party

Sidelined from Sochi due to injury or complete athletic inability? Us too, but that doesn't mean we can't get into the Olympic spirit! From oohing and ahhing over the spectacle of the opening ceremonies to taking style notes while watching a downright sassy crew of skaters, we've got two weeks of wintery athletic goodness to take in. So, it's obviously time to throw a party… or three ;) Here are 10 ideas for your very own Olympics party. Now, let the games begin!

Masking Tape Installation:

First, set the stage. This is the easiest, most awesome way to make an Olympic Ring art installation in your house.

Ring Necklace:

Next, it's time to rock your own rings. Turn an old t-shirt into a necklace using brass rings in our super simple tutorial. For the Olympic version, tear up tees in red, white and blue or the color palette for whatever country you're rooting for.

Nail It:

Speaking of style, this inspiration was created for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but we think it's appropriate to repurpose them with a little Russian flair for 2014.

DIY Olympic Torch:

If you're looking for an awesome centerpiece, take an old trophy or candleholder, grab some fiery tissue paper and make yourself a torch!

Olympic Rings Candy Jars:

Talk about yet another perfect use for mason jars and mason jar rims! You could do a similar thing with fruit and veggies (with toothpicks on the side), or a mixture of sprinkles and candies for some cupcake or ice cream decorating action.

White and Gold Candleholders:

Carry the torch at least to your dining room table or mantel with this project that takes UNDER AN HOUR to pull off! That's wick-ed fast, y'all.

Gold Honey Bear Vase DIY:

We always knew those honey bottles were just an upcycle waiting to happen. You might have to host a tea party to get to the end of the one you've had hanging around for years, but we can help with that .

The Bronzed Bar Cart of Your Dreams

Mix up drinks strong enough to warm up a or you on this long weekend project.

And to stir those medal-winning drinks?
