You probably have seen the cute tea candles I used in the latest wedding story for HGTV here. So today I thought I'd share the tutorial step-by-step on how I made those. I used melt-and-pour wax, which makes for a super simple process, and anyone can do it (NOT for kids though, as it involves hot wax!)
DIY Wedding Confetti Cones with Free Printables
Happy Monday!! Ready to start a week on a crafty note?! :) These easy to make paper confetti cones are the perfect adornments to wedding reception chairs. Fill them with confetti or rose petals as in this case, for a sweet-smelling and mega romantic feel! ♥
DIY Wedding Table Number with Free Printables
As part of my recent wedding story for HGTV , I got to play with spray paint and create my very own mini pedestal stands. I had found some vintage pink saucers in a flea marked, and all I needed was to spray paint some ceramic candlesticks to match. I have to say I was hooked - Not only was it easy to make, so pretty, but also way more inexpensive than buying individual stands. Now I have all sorts of plans for making larger DIY ceramic cake and cupcake stand - So watch this space! ;)
Rose Swirl Vanilla Bean Cookies Recipe
Starting the week on a sweet note. And is there any other way?! :) I baked these yummies for the recent wedding shoot I styled for HGTV . They are vanilla bean sugar cookies, and would be the be a delicious addition to any dessert table, as you can vary the color of the topping to suit your theme.
How to Make Your Own Wedding Cake
I'm no professional baker, so the thought of making a DIY wedding cake for my latest project for HGTV was a little daunting. But then I realized that with anything homemade, the beauty is in the "journey" as much as in the final product. So I went with a less is more approach. Basic pound cake, simply frosted with vanilla cream cheese frosting (thanks to all the masterclasses in Caking it Pretty !).
So mega excited to finally share my latest project for HGTV !!! My inspiration for parties and printables usually comes from my kids, and so naturally; I've always gravitate towards all-things-geared-for-little-ones. So it was mega refreshing to be tackling a subject that I don't often get to work on - Weddings !! ♥
DIY Pink Candles and Glitter Candle Holders
I recently worked on another super fun shoot for HGTV (hope to share details soon!) and had some leftover materials and a burst of inspiration (not to mention a bunch of glass yogurt pots I had been collection for yonks...). This is how these pink, glittered, candle cuties came to be. They'd be perfect for those lazy summer evenings - Imagine how they'd flicker and glisten on your tabletops or patios. Pretty picture, right?! :) Super easy to make too (I used melt and pour wax!). Get the full crafty tutorial below.
DIY Rustic Log Tree Stump Pedestal Cake Stand
As promised last week, I'm sharing today the tutorial on how I made my Rustic Log Cake Stand . These babies brand new, can set you back at least $30, so making your own is a steal, and totally more fun too! ;) They are ideal for a rustic wedding or birthday party or Fall celebration - how about a woodland birthday party (think Red Riding Hood , Bambi , Vintage Snow White , Camping Party ...) but also perfect for those rustic, shabby chic bridal or baby showers or weddings too!
DIY Crepe Paper Flower Pomanders Party Decorations
I created this tutorial a while back for the Get Married website, but forgot to post it here - Tissue Paper Flower Pomanders ! These pomanders make for really nice centerpieces displayed under a glass cloche like I did here or you can glue a piece of ribbon to each pomander and make stunning hanging decorations!
I've been a little absent from blogging due to internet problems. Hope to get back to normal next week, 'cause I have some really fun and cool posts for you, including fabulous giveaways and party eye candy galore ! :) In the meantime, just wanted to let you know that our final post with FREE printables is up on the Get Married site! !
