DIY projects!

What did you do for a card box?

I bought a super ugly vintage small suitcase for $3.00 (!) and cut a hole on the top and modge podged vintage scrapbook paper and embellishments on it! I also made a few paper flowers and added the pearls to it. I love it and it goes with my theme and total price was like $8.00!

I was thinking of using a few boxes of different sizes.. what do you think i should cover them in though? fabric, scrap book paper, wrapping paper? im lost

BTW tried posting a new thread and it keeps coming up saying there is an error and it cant do it? is it just me or others too?

This is my before and after.

My friend and I tried to make her cardbox with wrapping paper and fabric and neither worked to well for us. I like scrapbook paper because its thick and it doesnt bunch. Also I modge podged it on the box and on top to seal it.

Thats a great idea! Dont know why i never thought of mod podge for this lol

I made some fabric flip flops for my bridesmaids, which they all really liked (we're FL girls.)

We made these super sentimental plates with notes to each set of parents. My MIL cried, my mom really liked it, and I know I made a fan of Carole.

We made Christmas ornament bouquets -- the picture shows mine and one of my BMs. My MOH had a purple top ornament instead of just the turquoise.

How hard were the fabric flip flops? Id really like to do those for me and MOH for when were getting ready

@Carole I love your escort cards

@Jessica.. I want to steal your cardbox, it's so original.

@Reenski I always wondered what your bouquet looked like from afar, and boy are they gorgeous!

@Mrs. Eversole, they weren't hard at all. I'm hoping to put a tutorial together this weekend, but I pretty much followed another tutorial I found on Pinterest.

@Amber, thank you! They came out REALLY well, I was very happy with them, much better than real flowers. I'm hoping to get my BM's bouquet to her soon (she didn't want to fly with it in case TSA made her throw it out.) Mine is currently on display in my house.

I would love the tutorial once you get it together please and thank you

Name Hangers

I watched this youtube video:

and read these instructions:

I bought:

- Wooden hangers (5 pack) $3-$4 at Walmart

- 18 Gauge Galvanized Wire from Lowes (they recommend 14 gauge wire, but I couldn't find it)

- Needle nose pliers/wire cutters from Lowes

I also looked at google pictures to figure out how to shape some of the letters. I plan to drill holes in my hangers (like the 2nd link) and insert the wire rather than wrap the wire (like the 1st link).

Can't post pictures since I'm on my phone but centerpieces, partial wedding party gifts, invites, favors, a sign for the memorial table, I just bought a bridal robe so now I have to buy an iron on bride decal

I re did a bunch of furniture so we can use it for our lounge... here it is so far...There are a few more pieces but I don't have pictures of them.

The couch was white and stained, the blue couch was this weird brown color and the green chair was a wooden cane chair

Those hangers look super easy!

That furniture is really cool, what are you going to do with it after your wedding

All these DIY projects are awesome!

Anyone else do anything to jazz up their wedding shoes?
