DIY Wedding Invitation Kits

So you know I am always on the look out for new and interesting wedding ideas, and DIY is always right up my alley, so when I saw these DIY wedding invitation kits I automatically had to check it out.

On first glance I thought oh I get it; these are like the printable cards you can get from the craft store, but when I read the description I knew I was wrong. The kits include a ton of stuff that I would have never even thought about, but I would obviously need. The kits include all the items you would need to make your own personalized wedding invitations and at a fraction of the price of buying all the pieces separately.

All you need to do is fill in your info and print the cards out! So simple and much more affordable then getting them professionally made. The best part is they will look as good as store made invitations and you can have the satisfaction of creating them yourself!

DIY wedding invitation kits are fun and easy, and I recommend them to all brides. They are also a great project for anyone who is eager to help out!

These are some of my favorite DIY kits from http://www.thankyou.on.ca.

I love this one the classic black and white scroll-work is gorgeous!

The addition of the ribbon and embellishment flower make this invitation so sweet and romantic!

I love the raised daisy flower detail of these invitations. Simple and delicate.

Homemade Wedding Decorations: Spring Butterflies

Spring is a lovely season for weddings, and this season should be incorporated into wedding decorations. Butterflies first make their appearance during the spring, and they are the perfect theme for spring wedding. This article will provide you with detailed instructions on creating three homemade wedding decorations with spring butterflies as the theme.

Many of these projects use a butterfly template. Please check this post for a bunch of free buttterfly templates.

Garland

A butterfly garland is a lovely spring wedding decoration, and this homemade spring craft can be made easily and quickly. For this homemade spring wedding decoration you will need coffee filters, watercolor paints, a paintbrush, water, pipe cleaners, scissors, and ribbon.

Start this homemade spring wedding decoration by wetting all of the coffee filters and the paint. Add some drops of paint to the filters and the colors will swirl together. Allow the coffee filters to dry completely.

Then fold a pipe cleaner in half and pinch the coffee filter in the middle. Place the folded end of the pipe cleaner on top of the pinched section of the coffee filter and pull the ends through. Wrap the pipe cleaner around itself until you reach the other side of coffee filter and curl the ends of the pipe cleaner to make the butterflies antennae. Cut a long piece of ribbon and hook the butterflies on to the ribbon by their antennae. This homemade spring wedding decoration is easy to complete and it will look lovely on your big day.

Centerpiece

Butterflies make a beautiful spring wedding centerpiece; for this homemade decoration you will need a butterfly template, cardstock in various spring patterns, scissors, glue, fishing line, a clear vase, flowers, and a tree branch. You can use fake flowers for this craft if you like.

Start this homemade wedding decoration by tracing the butterfly template onto the cardstock. You can make a butterfly template easily by finding an image of a butterfly and cutting it out of cardboard. Next cut out several butterflies and glue pieces of fishing line to the backs of the butterflies.

After the glue has dried tie the butterflies to the tree branch so they dangle nicely and fill the vase with flowers. Place the branch across or on top of the vase, and add a little glue to secure it if you like. This homemade spring butterfly decoration will look lovely as a wedding centerpiece.

Place Card Holder

You can make beautiful butterfly place card holders for your homemade wedding decorations. For this wedding craft you will need a butterfly template, scissors, patterned cardstock, a pencil, glue, and a black marker. Start this craft by tracing the template onto the cardstock, cut the butterflies out, and color the bodies and antennae black.

Next lightly bend the butterflies in the middle so the wings are closer together. Add a line of glue halfway up the body of the butterflies and attach two butterflies together. Make sure to leave a space in between the butterflies on top to place the name card. This spring wedding decoration uses butterflies in a creative and fun way.

Spring is a wonderful season for weddings, and it is a lot of fun to incorporate butterflies into your homemade wedding decorations. These homemade wedding decorations feature spring butterflies, and they will make your wedding unique and lovely.

A Handmade Shop Review: OruAka Handcrafted Wood Jewelry, Accessories, and Supplies

  

I visited OruAka's etsy shop and immediately fell in love! On first thought I felt soothed and enticed by the great photos and soothing atmosphere, and then I found myself looking longer. This review is for all my friends, fans, and followers out there who love earthy and nature items that are gorgeous and practical. Ok, now let me tell you a litle about OruAka's shop and what you will find there when you check it out. 

OruAka has an assortment of "finely crafted wood jewelry and accessories including buttons;"  What accessories you may ask. Well, there is a large variety including "unique cufflinks, simple and elegant earrings and pendants pieces, barrettes, hair forks, hair sticks," and my favorite part is they state clearly in their shop info that they create custom pieces if you just send the a message to discuss it. 

Also, I have been provided with a coupon code for 10% off for all my lovely viewers. So make sure to head over and use this coupon code : sales10

Ok, enough talking right?  Here are some of my favorite items! On to the good stuff! 

Cedar Wood Buttons

Bocote Wood Cufflinks And Tie Clip Set 

Cherry Wood Three Prong Mini Hair Fork

These pieces are amazing, and they were only the first 3 I fell in love with. The thing I love most about these wood accessories is the attention to detail displayed in the accentuation of the wood grain. The colors and shape of the pieces combine with the grain in a way that makes each piece stunning in its own unique way.  You are guaranteed to want them all just I like do.
