@Smichek, I blame you!


In progress table numbers (and almost my man of honor's butt):

End result will look like this, but with purple sparkly tulle instead of flowers:

In progress cake topper (I'm not loving it):

Paper flower... thing for the guestbook table or something:

Flower girl basket:

And some sort of centerpiece action will be happening with these:

Luckily, the venue is handling centerpieces, so I dont really have to worry about it.

OH, and these:

Will (eventually) become these:

The end. This post has no real purpose, other than to save my friends and family with being bombarded with this stuff because I am JUST SO EXCITED.

    I really wanted to do some paper cranes, but I just could not get the hang of it. These flowers are the closest to origami I will ever get.

    I personally believe that the flowers are harder because there are more moving parts, especially with the glue and the sticks. I have 115 paper cranes so I'm cranking them out, just slowly. Once I have all the ones I need I have to string them.

    Well, that's true. The gluing was the hardest part.

    Thant's going to look so cool!

    I hope so. We're doing a bunch for the ceremony back drop. Those will be strung and hung from the arch. And then we have huge ones folded from 12 inch by 12 inch origami paper that we will string for a chandelier style ceiling thingy for the reception.

    Then if we have left over small ones we'll put them on the tables and things.

    I will. But don't expect it for another 9 months. I planned ahead so I can take my time. Right now I crank out about 5 cranes a day in the evening while I'm watching tv. I do a little more on the weekends if my professors don't have me swamped with papers and reading.

    That sounds way better than my plan. I waited until 3 weeks out to even think about this stuff. Whoopsie doodle.

    But hey, 1 project down!

    Beautiful!

    I'm particularly fond of the kusudama flowers - probably because I'm using so many myself! I love how you included the feathers to add a nice dimension. Lovely!

    I know what you mean. Now that I've made them, I think they are super awesome when others make/use them.

    Despite my WAY last minute start, it really has been! I think I have officially been converted to a crafter.
