DIY placenames flash!

RogueSnowflake, 7 July, 2015 at 16:52 Posted on Planning 0 10

This is the only thing I have DIYed for the wedding and it doesn't fit with a theme or anything else but I really wanted to do origami place names. We got a stamp from ebay with individual letters on and put in many hours making them, 85 in total.

It was actually a nice job to do with my OH. He insisted that we do them together, aww.

The tricky part was stamping the names, if the letters get too jaunty they look like a psychopath has done them!

    These look seriously amazing!! I wanted to do something similar with the same type of stamp but wasn't sure how to present them.

    Did you know Origami before or did you learn to do the hearts especially?

    Thanks guys!

    I was an origami novice, and my OH found these hearts on a youtube search, they are really simple. I ended up getting the paper from an origami book in The Works, but you can get it online.

    My original plan was origami animals but the problem with that is you need to be really good at origami to get them looking anything like the animal they are supposed to represent... and then you have to find somewhere to write the name!

    So these were a compromise. Our table centerpieces are these lanterns I got from TK Maxx:


    The lanterns will be surrounded by flowers and will have a fake candle inside them that can be switched in the evening to colour-changing mode. Disco disco!

    Our colour is pale blue, so as you can see, the theme is all over the place!
