DIY Wedding - show off your makes

Jade the Bride, 28 March, 2015 at 21:01 Posted on Planning 1 12

Is anyone else making a lot of things for their wedding? I have a list as long as my arm, but I am really excited as I am a crafter anyway so the excuse is fab.

Sorry if here is already a topic for this but I thought this could be a good place to show off your makes and share ideas and advice.

Happy crafting!

    I'm pretty much diying everything. I love craft to so I don't mind but the length of my to make list is terrifying, luckily I've got lots of time.

    At the moment I'm doing the favours, there a Lego brick with a chocolate inside. I've done a trail run and now making them but keeping them flat till closer to the wedding when I'll make them up and fill them. I need 90 so taking me ages to cut them all out but worth it.

    Next I'm doing the invitations and bunting



    Also made my bridesmaid cards

    Sorry if too much is here i couldn't decide what not too show!! we had a very on the cheap pre wedding reception before we went as we were travelling around for 4 months and getting married away so it was important for us to still share as much as we could with everyone we had a vegas themed reception and made loads...although spend a small fortune in hobby craft and amazon!!


    On every table (okay surface) we had pink blue and purple feathers, same colour crystals, playing chips and playing cards


    My OH made these out of failed wedding post boxes!! he made 6 overall each covered in glitter and all different colours we ended up using them as balloon holders!


    Sweet jars IKEA and sweets amazon with hobby craft ribbon


    I don't know if you can see the banner but its bunting and with cut out lettering covered in glitter with our name and wedding date


    Our wedding post boxes again made by hubby
