Written by: louise Posted on Thursday, August 18, 2011 Hey lovely people! The lovely Fanni over at Fubumedia has been beavering away on this fun little idea to share with us today. As with all our projects, it’s pretty simple, all you need to do is print the free templates, and get sticking! You will need: 1 x favour box template 1 x thank-you flag template 2 x sheets A4 card (you could use complimentary colours to add an extra bit of pizzazz when your guests open the box!) A pair of sharp scissors Pencil Cocktail sticks or toothpicks Ribbon to coordinate with your wedding colours Method: Dowload and print the templates, and cut out the favour box template. Once you have the shape, fold all the little strips inwards, place your favours in the middle, and pinch all the strips together at the top before securing with a little bit of tape. Cut out the ‘thank-you’ banners, snipping one end in a ‘v’ shape to make a flag. and voila! DIY Thursdays are a collaboration between Bijoux Bride and Fubumedia.

Écrire sur ses murs : techniques et conseils Pondu par Flo le 27 septembre 2011 Pour décorer ses murs, on peut se laisser tenter par de jolies lettres ou de jolis mots. Comment les réaliser sans se planter ? Une jolie phrase, une citation un peu drôle ou juste un alphabet décoré peut donner une belle touche d’originalité à une pièce. Avant de sortir les marqueurs et de s’attaquer au mur de façon brutale, faisons une petite revue des techniques possibles pour écrire sur ses murs. Avec des lettres en carton ou en bois Une solution pour ne pas écrire directement sur un mur, et voir sa caution s’envoler tel un Pikachu en hélium dans une fête foraine : les lettres en carton ou en bois (c’est un espère de contre-plaqué qui fait facilement des échardes en vrai). — Sources : projectnursery – Jennibowlinstudioinspiration Si vous comptez utiliser beaucoup de lettres, les feuilles de Decopatch peuvent finir par devenir chères. Ensuite, à votre guise pour les fixer au mur : pour les lettres légères, du double face suffira. — Sources : Sassysites

Enveloppes colorées Hello! Sorry about the little break. My son has been off on his half-term holidays so I had a blog-free week! Now I am back, I just want to give a big shout out (and a big thank you) to my new sponsors, pi’ikea street and paper glitter….do check their sites out! I also wanted to say a massive thanks to all the people who have left comments lately (and to those who have sent me lovely emails). It’s been especially great to hear from people who have been making the projects…and ace seeing all your pictures…hurray! I do confess that I have always had a ‘thing’ about string-tie envelopes. These dinky little envelopes are great for all-sorts of things (storing paper ephemera, housing invitations/gift cards, storing seeds). By the way, now my kids are getting better at using scissors they have been really enjoying making their own envelopes using the template from my previous post. You will find a full tutorial and templates below! How-to 1. 3. 5. Job done!

Happy Hippity Hop! We're taking a long weekend off here for the Easter break (we're working on a new website with hopes of getting a bit more done with the extra day tucked in there). So we're bidding you farewell early with a few links and this cute little picture tutorial (see more below) sent to our e-mail from the folks at Present&Correct. Happy wishes for your Easter and Passover break. We're heading over here later to learn how to make some marshmallow peeps! Care to join us? High/low Easter party. West coast applications close Friday at Renegade. Loving this free (April calendar) desktop wallpaper from the Free People blog. And I saw lots of rabbits hopping around here. Have a fantastic weekend!
