Tic Tac® DIY Wedding Favor Idea with Printables

Tic Tac® DIY Wedding Favor Idea with Printables

If you follow me on Instagram , would've have seen a  little sneak peak of today's post using Tic Tac ® mints as a wedding favor idea. Tic Tac's goal is to "Shake Things Up" , and I was thrilled when they asked me to come up with a fun packaging idea for a wedding favor!   Tic Tac®  packs remind me confetti, little colored sprinkles, perfect for weddings. So I wanted a modern vibe for the packaging, something that would be meaningful for a wedding, but also add a modern/funky twist to shake thing up ;)  Naturally, I turned to printables. And glitter. 'Cause if you can't have a bit of bling on your wedding day...when can ya?!

Valentine's Day DIY Favor & Free Guitar Party Printables

Valentine's Day DIY Favor & Free Guitar Party Printables

This year I wanted to design a kid-friendly Valentine's Day freebie that could work for anyone or any age - Think teachers, boys, girls, your latest playground crush, grandparents, BFFs...and because I'm always saying it to the people I love, " YOU ROCK " was my inspiration. Which of course led to the idea of the guitar design...which in turn made me crave candy (yes, I work in mysterious ways.). Anyways, this is how the humble candy tube turned into a super cool guitar  . Pretty simple and quick to make too, but such a cute result, don't you think? :)

DIY Wedding Table Number with Free Printables

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! ;)
