Did-It-Myself Wedding Decor

I have no idea how I am posting on my blog right now given the intense state of nervous anxiety I am in with the wedding being only 3 weeks away. Less than that! However, I decided to share a little DIY project I have been working on to go with the "favor" table.

To spruce up the favor bags I made monogrammed favor tags using some Martha Stewart products I am so proud to own.

Items needed for project:

Martha Stewart Circle Cutter
Heavy Paper
Printed Paper
Colored Ribbon
Martha Stewart DIY Stamp kit.
Color Block stamp ink
(All of these items I found at Michaels and used 40% - 50% off coupons to purchase the circle cutter, and DIY stamp kit.)


First I used the circle cutter to make circles just a little bigger than my stamp.  I cut them out on a plastic cutting board - but I would suggest using a wooden cutting board.

I then used the monogrammed stamp to personalize my little circles. I used a stamp with a vine around the edges, but there are a couple to choose from.

I used a vintage textile pattern from a book I purchased to print this design on heavy paper. Then I cut circles a little larger than my first circle. I glued the smaller one on top and waited for it to dry.

 After the glue dried, I punched a small teardrop hole in the top and tied a green ribbon around it so that I could secure it to one of the favor bags.

 

  

 Since I am marrying a baseball player we are appropriately having peanuts and cracker jacks as two of our favors as well as Hershey kisses and personalized Hershey bars - in honor of our adopted dog - Hershey.

I turned this...

Into this...

Using some regular printer paper (with my textile template) and a little glue. Wondering where I got this super cute vintage pattern? I found this book in a little store in Nashville called Social Graces. If you are ever in the area it is definitely worth the stop. The book I purchased is called the Repro Depot by Djerba Goldfinger. When you buy the book it comes with a CD that has all of the patterns for you to use. I paid $25 for it, but it looks like you can get it for just a couple dollars on Amazon.

Dear Wedding,
Can i please have my life back so I can post on my blog more???
