Newest Project

w+c3

Well I got all the supplies today to make my own version of this:


And I'm pretty excited about it! I'm nervous about painting all that wording by hand though! I'll be sure to post pictures when I finish it.

Sorry this is kind a pointless post but I had to share my excitement with someone...haha

Very nice!! My writing is awful so I wouldn't be able to do that by myself!!

Rather than having a guest book, I bought a matted picture frame to have people sign & give a piece of advice to the "newleyweds" ... I will need to make some sort of sign for that but haven't even gotten that far yet.  I like this idea!

[QUOTE]I actually bought the letters at Joanns - do they have any of those stores near you? Yeah, it was a little time consuming. I think I made all the flowers while watching a Lifetime movie, or maybe two. Then, I hot glued them on the next day. Two day project and SO worth it. :) I wish I had counted the flowers to give you an exact amount because maybe it wasn't 150, but to be honest, it had to have been at least close. There were just so many of them! And to think I originally thought I'd make the pomanders for them too. That's not going to happen, I bought pomanders from Hobby Lobby instead. $10 a piece, but I have a little more sanity, so totally worth it. :)

Yes they do! I might have to get some coupons and look there! I just remember seeing something like those at hobby lobby. I truly don't like Michaels at all, but like I said I had giftcards and by gosh I wanted to attempt at least one DIY project by myself for this wedding. I feel like I've done nothing.

I LOVE this!  Can't wait to see it finished!

I think that is cute. I am sure it will come out great.

I was all excited, I thought you had your letters done already! Although, this idea is super cute too. Good luck!

So cute! Post some photos of yours when it's done.

Oh dear!! I still have cold feet about starting that project! It sounds like an extreme amount of work!! I'd need to make like 300 of those things!!!  Plus I've only been to two different Michaels and they don't have those letters :( And I had gift cards to use up. So that is why I started this project. However If I ever get to hobby lobby I'll look into it. I did look for tissue paper today and no purple or silver! so it just hasn't been right yet :)
