A chance to shine - what have you made yourself that you are most proud of?

They are lovely! I don't have anything to flash at the mo but I am currently making my photobooth props and am doing my sample invites over the weekend so watch this space!

Lovely shoes!! I gave up on mine as I didn't have the patience.

I haven't really made a lot myself, but I am pleased with how I customised my ring cushion.

I don't really like ring cushions, but I received a (rather unfetching) one as a gift which I felt obliged to use so I modified it with red ribbon and red roses (it originally had peach ones!!).

From:

Has to be our invites. Everyone has commented on how nice they are ?

I am also on the hunt for crafty stuff to make our photobooth props this weekend so will flash when done. May2be what you making for yours?

Flasheroo please ? I'm hoping for a Friday afternoon filled with beautiful pictures x

I dont have one on my work computer ? I appear to have everything else mind you. Will do it later when i get home.

I haven't taken pics but I have knitted fluffy bolero's for my 4 flower girls and we are just in the process of making our save the date magnets and invites, , , ,

I too would be interested in photobooth props - an ebay search proved fruitless!!

I want some little signs with arrows that say stuff like "I'm with the drunk one" etc. But can't exactly find them so may have to get crafty too!

Kayl - im going to attempt to make these

I also have my eye on some chalkboards top hat, etc. I dont want overkill though so will leave it quite simple.

So far i am proud of my other half for making our invites and i am very proud of the wine charms i have made

sorry it is huge!

They're brilliant ? I love the idea of having a photobooth but it's definitely on the 'would-like-to-have-if-we've-got-a-spare-£400' list at the moment!! How are you setting up your own? I'm a bit worried about the safety of my camera if I just leave it out for people to snap away with!

@ Vikster, thanks for the flash - I did think of some simple chalk boards and some really large photoframes - but going to have to traul the carboots for one of those as don't want to spend a fortune on that.

We went to a wedding that had silly hats, feather boas, glasses etc but that could be a real nightmare!

Dress bits

Lightmachine - our TOG is doing a "fun" photobooth style set up in the evening at our venue so i am just going to provide some simple funnies if needed. Wont be spending a fortune, hoping to do it quite cheaply.

Did you make your dress? (or am i just being dim here?)

Its lovely, I Love the straps! x

I ordered vistaprint cards and made our invite pocket things myself, im crystal-ing my shoes tonight although i'm only doing the heel and maybe a the odd sparkle at the front as they kind of have slight pleats in the front so will put one at the top (IYSWIM) im also planning on doing the table plan too. I wanted a wishing well and H2B said 'no way are we paying for that i could make it myself' so i said go on then! He is very good at things like this though.

I bought the dress (monsoon outlet bargain) and then altered it. The pearls and bow and trails are all mine, and the straps were altered too.

Thank you for saying nice things about it - I'm the worst person for dress envy of other people's expensive creations!

Its lovely. I'm the same, I should never have got my dress so early but Im making myself stick with it and every time I put it on I remember why I love it !

Have you got a pic of the front? Sorry, im so nosey!!

Here's the front. Quite plain and simple - so suits me!

Sorry pic is rubbish - taken in the gloom of my spare room!

Some lovely things ladies, well done! I want to make my own invitations, so please flash if you have made your own.

I'm most proud of mine and flower girls jewellery so far (well only thing i've made)

Dress is gorgeous! It is like what i originaly wanted and I ended up falling for a bigger skirt but i think that always happens doesnt it! How can you keep it ion the spare room?

Has H2b not peeked???

I will flash my sparkly shoes if i don't ruin them, they wont be as good as lightmachines but i will do my best!

The pearl jewlery is lovely too! You should go into business!! I went to a bead shop last weekend as thought of doing this but it was £12 for one small pack of pearl beads so changed my mind! Getting a bit tight with my money now!

Libby08 I got mine from ebay only a few £'s

might have a go atblinging my shoes when they arrive, what glue do you use?

? hee hee thanks, they're dead easy to do, just takes blooming ages!!

The OP can prob give you names (as im sure she was the one who told me?) but there is a seller on ebay who sells hotfix machines and gems and glue etc...

Well not even close to the talent you ladies are showing but as a total none crafty person I was rather pleased with the name place cards I made (all 95 of them!!)

Here are just a few

OMG fluffy your place cards are amazing!!

I haven't made much, was planning to, but time got the better of me ?.

I did get around to making our invitations and STD cards though.

WC xxxx

Heres our invites and really quite pleased with them. Loving all the other stuff. We area bunch of crafty so and so's ?

I get my crystals from miss.diamante on eBay, and the tool I've got is called a Kandi Kane wand - I just put hotfix wand into the eBay search and it was about £16.95. The crystals are £8 for 1440 - I'll use about 3 bags to complete the pair.

Thank you. I think I would have liked a bigger skirt but this dress is proper silk and was such abragain I couldn;t resist. I have made an underskirt with several layers of tulle that give he skirt a bit more weight and structure.

It lives in the spare room under a large duvet cover. Don't think H2B has looked....!

What lovely things people have made. Am so impresed by invitations etc. We are making our own Orders of Service and they are ok - but pretty amateurish looking! Don;t really mind though - everyone knows we are the bargain basement of weddings and that's fine!

Sorry, wouldnt let me put it all on one post! I did a row of pearls along the back of the shoe then crystals down the heel. Really couldnt get the camera to show the sparkle but they look nicer in real life! I also put a few on the front but im thinking they may come off as the shoe moves there but as long as they stay on for a bit i dont really mind! I did get impatient though and ended up buying some self adhesive ones that i saw in a cheap little shop today (only £1!!) as I couldnt wait to order the ebay ones but I might order them and do full sparkle shoes for my hen night too!

They look really good, well done!x
