Wedding Crafts

[J's Gal]

I have had some very unusual time off work this week, so I have taken advantage of it and spent time working on some of our wedding crafts. I wanted to share a few. One is the bouquet that I have made for myself. Two is the OOT bags that I have made for our cruising guests. And three is a photo album I have made to go in the OOT bags. I never knew I was so creative! :) Look out Martha! :D

Wow! You did a great job. Everything look so nice.

- How did you get the boat picture on the bags?

- How did you make the photo albums?

Thanks Cruisin Cleo! I honestly cannot believe how great things have turned out. I am not the most creative person in the world! ;)

 

I bought the canvas bags at Hobby Lobby 3 for $5.99 and then I used iron-on transfers to put the design on it. And then I added the ribbon, beads, and/or feather trim.

 

For the photo albums, I bought cheap little albums from Target for $1.99. Both the front and back covers slid right out of the plastic sleeves. I have a Cricut machine that I use for scrapbooking. I have the cartridge "Going Places" and it has all the shapes that I cut and glued on the cover. The one thing that I did that I couldn't get a picture of, was on the back cover on a small strip of vellum, I typed: "Made especially for you by Mr. and Mrs. XXXXX XXXXXXX." I then attached the vellum with coordinating colored brads. Very easy, really, I did 9 albums in about 2 hours.

If I did that nothing would be centered etc. Really great work on the bags and little photo album.

you MADE that stuff??? very nice work! move over martha..(hey, if you have spare time.....you should hire yourself out to friends and coworkers and do it....we had a lady at work who was VERY crafty...always made nice photo albums whenever we had a wedding or baby shower, and she made bouquets and stuff....she never took money...always did it as gifts...but she couild have made a little spare money.)

 

any little money could cover a frozen thinggie or too.....

 

thanks for sharing...

Hi guys, thanks for all the compliments. I am the most uncreative person ever so it surprises even me to think that I did all that. :o So if you are thinking about attempting to create something for your wedding, go for it, you can always buy something later if your project doesn't turn out.:) I am so excited that we have had time for me to do these little things. I know our family and friends will be shocked that I did all these little touches! :D Happy Planning everyone.
