DIY Cupcake Wrapper (tutorial)
Guh, Another palm-slapping-my-forehead moment.
One of my (for lack of a better word here) 'issues' while wedding planning was keeping everything in line with a theme. I thought everything would look better if I at least kept common ground with a color scheme because everything else was kind of 'us' which is a little bit all over the place - but in a very good way! SO, when I just found this DIY, I figured: easy and could solve alot of gals' problems. Hope this helps someone! XOXOXOXO Czech out this page with a free downloadable template for wrappers: http://www.utterlyengaged.com/diy-cupcake-wrapper-tutorial-by-snow-graham P.S. Utterlyengaged.com is super duper! |

DIY Kiss Pleat Bracelet Made Out Of RIbbon
Here is the tutorial for the bracelet that I wore on my wedding day. My mom made it :) Yay Mom! I have learned that one of the terms for this type of pleat is a 'kiss pleat' I'm assuming because the edges of the pleats are arranged to fall next to one-another, thus 'kissing'. I used a pretty 7/8" ribbon that I bought at Michael's. Depending on how your wrist measures and how much or how little pleating you would like to end up with around your wrist. I found that I needed roughly 35-40 inches of ribbon. I liked the look of having the pleats surrounding the entirety of my wrist which ended up being about 4 full pleats on the pink bracelet that I made for this tutorial. The bracelet that I wore on the wedding day had slightly smaller pleats and we went with five full pleats.     |

DIY Fabric Flowers
Tutorial On 100 Layer Cake Blog
I made a bunch of fabric flowers to cover the tables at our reception. They truly were a labor of love. They were really easy to do, were therapeutic at just the right time in my wedding planning process, AND I was happy to see girls from the reception taking them home. I hope that they become broches, headbands, bracelets, hair clips, or something equally fun!!
The girls at 100 Layer Cake saw my tutorial on here a few posts back and thought it would be a hit with their readers so I updated some of the information and pictures with the hopes of making it much more user friendly and voila! Here we are and I hope to see tons of happy little flowers everywhere! We'll see if it gets posted tomorrow or ends up getting pushed back :) I'll keep ya posted! http://100layercake.com/blog/archives/4402 |
