If you follow us on FB , you will know that our Baby Girl is getting married soon ...very soon.
( And if you don't follow us on FB , you really should )
Our Baby Girl is very frugal and was raised to be a DIYer .
Not to mention a crafter , decorator, junk lover and repurposer.
Remind you of anyone ? :)
Anyhoo...
She started a Pinterest board for her wedding ideas . I do love Pinterest , but it seems to have created a crafty , decorating monster ! ( just kidding about the monster part )
After a couple shopping trips to Micheals and HobLob , it was time for a CRAFTFEST !
Project #1 , She pretty much did this one on her own . ( She didn't need me for this one AND I was making lunch )
We are kind of a non-traditional family. So nothing about Baby Girl's wedding will be traditional .
Can I just say how proud that makes me ?
Anyhoo...
Back to project #1 Non-traditional guest book ... not a book at all ...a canvas .
A large white canvas , some embellishments ( colored with distress inks ) , and ta-da a guest canvas for people to sign and for her to display .
I love the way she colored it with an ombre effect. I'm kinda into that ombre thing :)
Next up was to revamp the card box I made for Wild Child's wedding last year .
We took the paper off, the embellishments were already gone , where, I have no idea .
Baby Girl gave it a new coat of paint , some lace and ribbon , and of course , some BLING !
This was her (p)inspiration -
And THIS is our creation -
We saved our biggest project for last .
Her (p)inspiration -
By the way , that is available on Etsy for $126.99 :)
Our creation -
Beautiful , huh ?
We figured we had under $15 in it . Plus time .... LOTS of time :)
Time on Pinterest : HOURS
Supplies : $50 ( approx. for all 3 projects )
A day spent crafting with my Baby Girl : PRICELESS
Just wait till you see her Pinterest decorating ideas for the wedding !
Yikes :)
