Do-It-Yourself: Pancakes Version

I never thought i was much of an Arts & Crafts kind of person but i am working at it!

I have been able to make some incredibly nice tihings that i am very proud of!

The following are my DIY project.

Ribbon Wand

I have yet to decide whether to allow people to throw rice and or ribbons as i know people are used to such traditional things.

I made the ribbons wands out of our wedding colours and i think they look fantastic.  I used dowel from Hobby Lobby and ribbons from Michaels.  I chose to use thumbtacks to attach the ribbons to the dowel  and they are pretty sturdy.

Place Settings

This is perhaps my favourite project that i created.  The frames and easel is from Ikea.  I used stock paper and printed the table #s in nice fancy font.  It might not be as amazing as if a professional was doing it but i believe it came out amazingly! 

I love how the colours blend together so well.  I wanted my wedding colours to be incorporated into the reception area but not for it to become overwhelming.

Branded

Since i could not wear cute shoes with really high high heels, i had to go for a regular shoe but i wanted to spice it up.  I added the rhinestone "H" for Mr. Pancakes real-life last name.  If you can imagine it, without my sweatpants, i am hoping it will look fabulous!

I read another blog where the girl actually put rhinestones on the heel of her shoe but i am not that much of a DIY-selver!

Therefore ladies, these are my DIY projects and i am excited about it.  Hope you enjoyed them.

Did you or are you doing any fun DIYs that blew her away?!
