DIY Fortune Cookie Favors. Who knew you could create such beautiful fortune cookies out of a simple piece of paper? Laurie’s DIY project this week is not only creative and fun, but also very inexpensive to make(less than 10 cents per a fortune cookie) What You’ll Need Decorative or Scrapbook paper (not too thick, similar to a text weight, not cardstock) White text weight paper Double faced tape A pencil A round plastic lid to use as a template (approximately four to five inches in diameter) or a extra large circle craft punch A pair of scissors Computer and printer Directions: 1. Begin by using a plastic lid as a template to trace circles on your decorative paper. 2. 3. 4. Hold the half circle on the bottom, ( where arrow B points in figure 3) between your thumb and index finger.

As you push in, the top corners will start to turn up. Continue to hold the half circle and use your other hand to pull the corners in until they nearly meet and form the cookie shape. Display in a bowl or on a tray for your guests. Thrift store make over. This is not an original idea at all. I've sure you've seen lots of crafters taking glass and glue to make cake or cupcake stands. I chose this glass plate for $.50. It looked interesting. I also just grabbed a candle stick for another $.50 that looked in good condition. After throwing them in the dishwasher, I glued the candlestick to the bottom of the glass plate with Epoxy glue. So if you're doing any holiday entertaining, $1.00 and some glue and get you a pretty little cake/ dessert stand. Setting a tone | The Wedding Co. Sponsor Spotlight: Rock Paper Scissors.

{Isn't the shop darling?} If there is one thing in life that I cannot resist, it is beautiful stationery.

The Lovely Cupboard: Molly and Ed's Timeless Wedding. A wedding of a sweet friend is always something you look forward to. When that sweet friend happens to be the closest thing you've ever had to a little sister and your college roommate, it's even more special. I used to joke that Molly was my "muse". I lost all sense of style once we didn't live together. (The real reason for this is that I borrowed stole all of her cute clothes.) She was decorating with antiques and dressing vintage when most people our age were shopping at The Buckle (Uh-huh.

I said it.) In typical Molly style, her "something borrowed" was her mom's wedding dress. When Molly came to visit me several months before the wedding, we hit up flea markets to find tea cups, dishes, and vases to use for the centerpieces. The cocktail hour was outside in a bricked courtyard with snow cones and croquet for guests to entertain themselves. All of the lovely images you're seeing were taken by our sweet friend Laura Kackley of Lark Photography. Congrats Moll and Ed.
