What you'll make
Picture a soft cloud of cream, sand and nude balloons drifting across the top of your dessert table, with little tufts of dried grass peeking out, and every guest stopping for a photo in front of it. It looks like something a decorator spent a morning on, and it's really one afternoon with a pump and a few friends. About $48 for a 10 ft garland, pump included.
