Coachella is a magical festival, to say the least. The whimsical yet upbeat atmosphere is hard to feel anywhere else in the world. However, that shouldn’t mean you have to go all the way to California to enjoy the boho vibes. You can make it in your backyard, and it’ll look strikingly similar to the real thing!
In this list, I compiled the best Coachella themed party DIY ideas for your upcoming party. Your friends will be impressed that you did all that awesomeness yourself. Hop on to learn how to make everything!
Make a Tee-Pee
Teepees are the obvious camping choice in Coachella. If you watch the festival videos, you’ll find the arena full of pyramid-shaped tents in all shapes and colors. The teepees give a nice boho vibe, and they’ll transform your backyard into a full-blown Coachella site.
You can go the extra mile and deck the teepees out with patterned pillows, so your guests can enjoy the atmosphere and stay relaxed!
If your friends are going to crash for the night, you can make your teepees a bit large so that they can sleep inside them. You’ll have given them the real experience of the music and arts festival by this Coachella themed party DIY project.
Put a Boho Headpiece Together
Coachella is all about boho outfits. Attending such a party in a mediocre outfit is just wrong when Coachella themed party DIY outfits are that easy to make.
That’s why you should get started on a headpiece for your outfit. Doing it yourself will give you the chance to pick all its details, including the material and the color. Plus, DIY projects are fun to invest time in when they’re for a party!
The video shows you how you can make flower crowns and necklace-like headpieces in different ways. They’ll both go with boho Coachella outfits, and you can even make a couple of ones for your friends so that you can be matching!
Prepare Festival Food
Get your utensils and your cooking skills ready to prepare some fun, Canadian festival food for your guests! A party isn’t a party unless there’s food—lots of it! Coachella themed parties are no exception.
At Coachella, food trucks and carnival-style snacks are dominating the scene. There are a lot of ideas you can make at home, such as these truck-inspired recipes. On top of that, you can pay a visit to your local supermarket and get a stock of easily-served party food that you can display buffet-style.
If you don’t mind baking, you can make some amazing festive cupcakes for the guests, too. No one says no to cupcakes, and you can get as creative as you want with the toppings. Or, you can make some mini boho cakes that’ll steal the scene.
All in all, all these Canadian Coachella themed party DIY foods will make you the perfect host!
Set Up Inflatable Pool
Who would say no to a quick swim at a party? The ideal answer is no one. Therefore, you can provide an inflatable pool for your guests, so they can cool down and get their boho swimwear out after a hot day in Canada. An inflatable pool is one of the best Coachella themed party DIY projects you can make!
Setting up an inflatable pool is relatively easy like it’s apparent in the video. You’ll just need to purchase one or rent it beforehand, so you’re all ready when the party comes around.
If one of your friends has an inflatable pool, you can borrow it instead of paying for a new one yourself.
Hang Up Some Festive Lights
Nothing screams Coachella like a string of festive lights over your head as you’re mingling with friends. I know anything that has to do with electricity seems challenging to make. However, on the contrary, these lights are pretty easy. The tutorial tells you what to do step-by-step, so you have nothing to worry about.
If you don’t have enough time to make the lights yourself, you can buy them ready to use at any store and hang them when it’s time for the party. I’m all for Coachella themed party DIY lights, though!
Paint Some Feathers
Feathers are the obvious decorative item choice for boho-themed parties; dream catchers are living proof of that. Faux colored feathers often look tacky, and their colors are too limited. It’s better to get some feathers and paint them yourself.
That way, you can choose the colors that match your party’s decor, and you can draw different boho shapes. The tutorial is pretty easy to follow, too, so you don’t have to worry if you don’t paint a lot.
There are a lot of Coachella themed party DIY ideas you can use the feathers for. For example, you can stick one in your headpiece to complete your look. Or, you can make a string of feathers and hang it over the teepees. There’s also the option of hanging them on the wall or using them to make dream catchers.
Make a Temporary Hair Color
Do you want to pull a Canadian Kylie Jenner and attend your Coachella party with colored hair strands? You don’t have to do a permanent dye and stick with pink or red hair for the rest of your life. Instead, you can use hair chalk, as they did in the tutorial.
You can even match it to your outfit’s color or to your party’s theme color. Even better, you can invite your friends before the party starts and color their hair in matching colors, too!
Conclusion
Coachella is the epitome of fun. Thanks to the Coachella themed party DIY ideas above; you’ll bring the worldwide festival to your backyard or garden. If your party is going to take place soon, now is the time to start preparing. Some of these decorations will take time, and you’ll need time to plan your outfit, too.
No need to worry. As long as you have your outfit, food, and decorations prepared, you’re going to throw one hell of a party.
