20 DIY Oktoberfest Party Ideas To Celebrate At Home

September 9, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

I have never actually attended an Okotberfest, or if I did I certainly don’t remember it.  Either way, hosting your own parties has become even more popular with the current lockdown situations and celebrating at home is a great way to control who you come into contact with, and let’s be honest, we really don’t need an excuse to party!

So what is Okotberfest?

The Oktoberfest is the world’s largest folkfest. It is held annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16 to 18-day folk festival running from mid- or late September to the first Sunday in October.

Oktoberfest is a great way to celebrate another October event. Whether you are planning a themed backyard BBQ or a complete Oktoberfest beer event, these tutorials and ideas for a DIY Oktoberfest are surely going to get you very excited. The main theme of course is Germany, beer, and blue and white check tablecloths, flags and banners, and beer? Did I mention the beer already? Have these 3 items and you can theme with ease.

Since beer is the main ingredient for an Oktoberfest party then make sure this is your main focus. Check out these Beer Balloons and these inflatable pretzels. and this amazing inflatable frothy beer drink holder.

Crochet Tips And Tricks – E-book by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts

If you’ve been crocheting for a while, you probably think you’ve picked up most of the tricks already. That’s what I thought too—until I dove into Nicki’s Homemade Crafts Crochet Tips & Tricks E-book. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.

This isn’t your average “how to hold a hook” beginner guide. It’s packed with actually useful, hands-on advice that even seasoned crocheters will appreciate. I found myself nodding along with so many of the pages, thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?”

One thing I really liked? It’s written in a super down-to-earth tone, like a fellow crocheter just sharing what works. No fluff, no overly technical jargon. Just smart, practical solutions to common crochet problems. From fixing tension issues to dealing with split yarn, the tips are straightforward and easy to apply.

Another standout? The layout is clean, with step-by-step instructions and lots of visual cues that make it easy to follow. You can flip to a section you need or read it front to back—it works either way. And it’s digital, so it lives on my tablet now for quick reference whenever I need a refresher.

But what really makes this e-book feel like a gem is the “aha” moments scattered throughout. Things like invisible joins that actually look invisible, tips to stop your yarn from tangling (IYKYK), and clever ways to weave in ends without the bulky bump. Even after years of crocheting, I walked away with new techniques that made my projects look cleaner and more polished.

I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who crochets regularly—especially if you’re tired of wasting time Googling scattered tutorials and just want everything in one place.

You can check it out here.
