DIY

Oooh looking lovely - and I can just imagine you have stuff everywhere. I know my spare room is just bursting with all the wedding stuff lol. Will break my heart when it all has to go So much love goes into it all.

I really love the wine glass you've done.

Wow very impressive, love the glasses. Where did you get the time?

Im not doing any DIY - not at all 'arty' im afraid.

Wow I'm impressed that must have taken you ages! I'm planning on doing some DIY but the invitations are taking so long I don't know how much I'll do. I love the boxs, might have to steal that idea ?

I dont have the time haha! i work 40 hours a week, have a 2 year old, i train a majorette troupe and 100 other things every day lol.

usually around 10pm i start this with my recorded tv shows!

All looks lovely. I am trying to finish a PhD and also work and teach! So I would love some DIY tips and ideas that are not too time consuming if that makes sense? Small budget and no time are not a great mix tbh!

Where do you get all your craft supplies? And can I ask where you got the boxes?

You've done so well, how on earth have you managed to fit it in ?

The gift boxes in particular are lovely. I love the silky flower.

Well done you!

Good job! the jars look super cute! And the gift boxes are really a nice idea too.

Wow they look lovely

i know your pain, I no longer have a guest room, just a miniature wedding warehouse lol

Well done Chels! My daughter is a majorette so I know how much time that takes up!! You've done amazingly x

Bekkijane - people dont realise how much time goes into majorettes unless they are part of it!

Thank you everyone, the boxes are from the range, were only a couple of pound for 2.

i get most of my bits from either ebay or the range

I'm currently doing some DIY decorations. I'm making bunting and it is proving VERY time consuming to draw and cut out all the triangles of fabric!

I've started making origami invitations and am also planning on making origami flowers and favors.

Invites will be as the below but orange.

Ive made bunting in the past and its a pain.

im starting a rag garland tonight

ooo they are lovely! really different

All looks very nice!!

I love diy wedding stuff! stressful but fun!

have just finished making 49 invites!

now have order of services/table plan/table names and name cards to do!

Last night i sat and decorated our table numbers, what do we think?

Tonight's diy

They're all so pretty!

youre really talented! I thought I was awesome putting flip flops in organza bags ???

it's going to look beautiful!!!

Haha thank you!

its taking a long time but getting there

Ooh the guest book is lovely. I must get on and do mine lol. Xx

Thank you just need to print off the wording for the front and find a nice pen for everyone to use

I'm DIYing:

*1,000 origami cranes, which I'm going to use to decorate the ceremony room and maybe on the cake as well.
*Table plan
*Table numbers and placecards
*Order of the day (basic 1-side sheet explaining timings & with a few thank you notes)
*Some of the centrepieces - basically, I'm having Japanese ikebana-style arrangements, inspired by various animes and games that we love. I'm going to collect the containers, then meet with the florist to agree what she is going to do and what bits I can do myself.

So far, I've got about halfway through making the cranes, and I've designed pretty much all of the table numbers and the table plan.

Well done MadamRed! I thought I had a lot to do!
