DIY Tuesdays: Flower Fairy Lights Ruffled. I’ve been browsing for outdoor wedding decor and I happened stumbled across this easy DIY project from Apartment Therapy. So cute for a summer wedding! What you’ll need: - Fairy lights (Christmas lights) - Vellum paper in your wedding colors - Scissors Here’s my simplified version of the project: Step 1: Cut 5 inch squares of vellum paper. Step 2: Fold the left and right corners up to meet at the center, forming a diamond shape. Step 3: Cut curves along the open edges to form a heart-shaped top and create the petal effect (see my photo below).
Step 4: Snip the tip of the bottom of the triangle – remember to cut small enough that it won’t fall off the lights but wide enough so you can pass through each fairy light. Although it is unlikely that these tiny lights will catch on fire, you don’t want to worry about that on your wedding day! DIY Doily Backdrop Ruffled. If you loved the backdrop from today’s shoot as much as I did, you will love this project made by Studio Finch.

Supplies: - Flour - Water - Balloons - Vintage Doilies - Cups (to place balloon doily molds upright while drying) Directions: Blow balloons up to match the size of the doilies (smaller doilies require smaller balloons) Mix 1 part flour to 1 part water for paste Dip the doily fully into the Mixture Wipe excess mixture off of doily Place the doily on top of the balloon Place the doily balloon form on top of the cup Let sit for 3 days until the dome doily structure has hardened. Let the air out of the balloon and the dry doily will hold the dome shape on its own for decorating.

Canvas bag ($2.00 when on sale at Hobby Lobby), fabric paint, paper doily, Krylon Paper Finishes Adhesive Spray : Spray doily with paper spray adhesive and press down on the bag (not shown).
(Using Krylon Paper Finishes adhesive allows the doily to stick in place while you paint, but it easily pulls off without leaving a sticky mess behind after you paint.) : Gently paint over the holes – I recommend paint meant for fabric, not crafts. . : Peel back doily before paint dries.

Do-it-Yourself DIY String Wedding Lanterns Yarn Chandeliers. Jessica of Wednesday Inc shows us how to make those gorgeous twine chandeliers from the inspiration shoot she shared with us this morning. Using balloons, glue and twine, you can also make these lanterns for your wedding – and then bring it home and use it as your very own mid century lampshade. What you will need are: balloons, glue, yarn, tray for glue, corn starch 1/2 cup of Corn starch, 1/4 cup of Warm water, clear fast drying spray paint, hanging lamp cord or fishing line (depending on your desired final product), and a lighting kit if you’re looking for a fully functional lantern.
Jessica recommends using a sharpie to mark on the inflated balloon how much room you need to leave for the lighting cord. She also recommends coating the balloon with vaseline prior to wrapping the yarn coated with glue so it doesn’t stick on the balloon once it’s dry. Are you getting excited to try to do this at home as much I am? Instructions: 1. How to Make Leaf Skeletons. Stapleless Paper by Sherwood Forlee & Yanko Design.
