My DIY favours *flash*

Lorns, 13 July, 2014 at 14:55 Posted on Planning 0 10

Hello

This is the first time I have had a play around with any of my craft stuff for the wedding. I started to collect decorations/stationary/craft materials etc back in November when we got engaged but it is not until now that I feel it is ok to start making! ?

I spent a small fortune earlier in the year on 60 little handmade VW Beetle magnets from Etsy to use as favours. I knew in my head exactly how I wanted to display them out on the tables, and gradually all the bits and pieces have come together and I have made two up today! (Only 58 more to go!)

Do I dare ask... what do you think?

Everything has been put together by me, so 60 flat packed tiny boxes all made up, twine added, luggage tags stamped with 2 stamps etc....

The idea is to put a few mini eggs in the box, and they will presented how they have been made up in the pictures. Black car for the men, ivory for the women. The idea is, then these are taken home, people can put them next to each other on their fridges to remember the day Smiley smile

NOTE: I forgot to add that we are VW enthusiasts (it's through Volkswagens that we met) so they have relevance! haha!

I got all of my decoration out that I've collected so far and had a good look through everything (still have quite a bit to get yet) and thought I'd share, so you can get the jist of the rest of the decor..

    They look amazing! Am sure your guests will love them Smiley smile I'm doing a lot of the craft stuff for my own wedding too - so much inspiration around!

    Hoping to have an old school beetle for my wedding car!

    Thank you everyone! Glad it's not just me that thinks they're cute! I love them!

    As for asking the BMs round for help! Pfft!! No way!! My mum is helping me do the rest, as we are on the same wave length and we make a good team!! Smiley smile

    I will have loads of other flashes as I'm putting together the table plan, cards vintage suitcase, invitations menus etc, so there will be loads more to show!
