Favorite diys

I’m so excited with the way everything is turning out! Just wanted to share! FH has been giving me the obligatory “looks/sounds good” about anything wedding related lately, partially because he’s been working crazy hours, and partially because he’s just over it now and ready to get married after 18 months of wedding planning.
My latest projects were our handfasting cord, ribbon wands, and ring box.
Favorite diys 1Favorite diys 2I’ve had these keys in my craft box for probably close to ten years and I’ve always hesitated using them, but they felt like the perfect addition here. I keep looking at the braiding and finding my little mistakes, but no one else is going to be looking that close! Braiding four different size/shape things together was an interesting lesson lol! I used a mauve ribbon, thick ivory cord (which I unraveled at the ends), tiny gold cord, and a lace trim.

I made our daughters a little extra special with lace flowers on the wand (took forever, but it turned out better than I could have imagined!). We have several little girls coming to the wedding, so I made them some ribbon wands too.

The ring box was just a curio box I found at hobby lobby and loved. I think between the box, the foam, and the felt it was maybe $8, and I love it more than any of the boxes I’ve seen for $20+.Favorite diys 6

Hope everyone is having a productive week! I’d love to see what you’re making (or have made)!

    Thank you! I knew I would find the perfect use for them eventually, they almost became necklaces a few times!

    So does our daughter! She requested a bell on the wand now, so I’ll have to dig through our Christmas stuff because I’m sure we have some. Thanks!
