Would you have any advice on making your own bouquets yours turned out lovely!!!

[swalton85]

it was pretty easy!!! i went to michaels craft store & just started grabbing flowers in colors that i liked & kind of arranging them into a bouquet. once i figured out all the flowers i wanted i made sure to get ribbon to wrap the handles in, floral wire, long pins to use for your handle & green floral tape. you definitely need good wire cutters to cut the stems or you will kill your hands! after i got home my moh and i started arranging the bouquets & once we liked the way they looked we wrapped it like crazy with floral tape & wire so it would stay in place. then you just wrap your handle & hold it in place with those long pins with the pearl on the end. michals also does silk floral design so if you don't think you can do it yourself look into their services. it was fun & pretty easy. the big thing is if you don't like how it looks, you can always take it apart and try again.

i know someone who is a florist & she taught me how to do the braid up the handle with the white ribbon.

What material did you use to make the shells? fondant or something? Did you use a candy mold?

 

You are quite talented!

Your stuff looks terrific!!! Do you think it would be easy to make roses like that for the cake??

[swalton85]

the shells were really easy to make. i went to michaels & bought white fondant, silver dust stuff that you put on the fondant & shell candy mold. it was only like $13 for all of it & i have a lot of fondant left so i could have made a TON of shells. the only part that was tricky was getting the fondant out of the mold. i put it in the fridge for a little while to harden up & i had to use a metal skewer to stick into the back of the fondant and pull it out.

thank you so much for the info! i've always wanted to take a cake decorating class or something to learn this stuff!

Wow, your stuff looks great. I am not much of a crafts person, but I can design stuff at least.

You rock girl. I really wish I was more of a DIY girl. The only I can do is design stuff on sites that help you (ex: visitaprint, zazzle, 123print etc..). I don't have the originality you ladies here have.

I really love the boarding pass style STD & Invites. What kind of paper did you print this on and what did you use to get the corners cut so nicely rounded? I am horrible with scissors! lol

[Artemis908]

Regular card stock and there are these corner cutters you can get from Michaels in the scrapbook section, people usually use them to round corners for photos but they work on anything.

Thanks!

I actually have an online template that I found so I would just need some paper and the corner cutters.
