My First DIY-PIP

whereismymind32

I was afraid that my crafting abilities wouldn't hold up to all of my DIY dreams, so I started with a small project in case I failed miserably. lol. Good news, I love how they turned out!  We have the whole Inn reserved for the wedding, so these will be hanging on our guests' doors. It's hard to see with the flash from my camera, but the front is an embossed stamp that I had made with our initials and wedding date. We're using blue Mason Jars as decor throughout the wedding.


I was so proud that I had to share with you ladies, because I know you appreciate these little details! I have a firefly stamp too. Do you think I should add it?

How big is the firefly stamp? I'm always a fan of less is more but depending on the size it might look cute. Where were you thinking of putting it? In the jar or just anywhere on the hanger?

I think what you have is super cute so adding the stamp might make things look cluttered. I hope that helps!

Very cute! This first one should be a complete trail run so I say go for it because you won't know what it looks like until you try it!=o)

Cute!!!  I would probably leave it as is, but it wouldn't hurt to test one out with the firefly and see how it looks.

Love it!  I think a few fireflies within and outside the jar would be cute too, if they're small enough.

Thanks ladies! I may try out one with some fireflies, but this took much longer than expected, so it will have to be another day. We're still deciding on invites, but if we go with the firefly one, I'll definitely add them!

Darling!  I hadn't thought of doing that until I saw your post!!  What a great detail; your guests (and other passing hotel patrons!) are going to love it!

Very cute! I would only use the fireflies if you are using them on your other wedding stationary (save the dates, invitations, etc.)

Did you make the actualy door hangers or buy them somewhere?

Very cute!  

Did you do all of the writing by hand?  Or is some of that printed on there?  I'm thinking of doing some door hangers at some point.  They're just something that adds a little more fun that's easy to do imo.

Also, how did you make your own stamp??

I made everything except the stamp myself. I ordered the stamp from etsy. I designed the doorhanger in Word and printed it out on our desktop laser printer on brown cardstock. I downloaded the fun script font because I wanted something unique. They printed out three to a page, front and back, and I used a paper cutter, corner rounder, and circle punch to finish them. You could just use scissors of course, but the scrapbooking tools made it go faster.
