Wedding Season has began

Over the past weekend Mike and I went to a Bridal Shower and a Stag for two of our good friends. For the Bridal shower I put together a little basket of goodies. First, I made 2 signs. One said, “always kiss me good night” on vintage barn board and the other was their wedding date with hearts in between the numbers. I chose to do the basket theme their wedding colors, light lavender and a pale grey. With that being said, I did the signs in the light lavender, that way the bride and groom can use the signs for their wedding photos/décor. Secondly, I added a little ceramic owl, a vintage Mason jar soap dispenser that I made. And, lastly I added a pretty purple flower, just to add to the basket theme. The bride and groom are also using the little wire basket that I picked up at Home Sense for their wedding cards. I also added little hearts with their names on it to make the gift more personalized. The bridal was ecstatic to say the least!

Before the stag, the bride and groom had a bbq with the wedding party. Everyone was making some type of salad so I decided to go with a desert. Mike and I made fruit skewers and they were a hit! Everyone enjoyed them. They’re super easy to make and you can always add some type of chocolate or yogurt dip! 

I will be posting every wedding decor piece I make this year, as we have a few to attend to! 

Enjoy your week!

Valentines Framed Candy Heart

As you guys have noticed, I am extremely into Valentines Day this year! I find that the crafts are so cute and not to mention so fun and easy to make. Sunday morning I headed to my moms studio still in my pj’s determined to make the Valentines Framed Candy Heart project. A few hot glue gun burns later I was admiring my finished project.  This crafts looks more expensive than cheap, which is inspiring! Together this craft cost me $7.

The Valentines Framed Candy Hearts look excellent placed against the back splash in the kitchen, hung, or placed on a side table along with some pretty flowers or some more Vday décor.

Items you will need:

Brown Wrapping Paper

White Picture Frame

Candy Hearts

Glue Gun

Cardboard

Step 1: Make a sturdy back page for your hearts. Meaning, where the photo would usually sit in the picture frame place a piece of cardboard there so that the hearts will have something strong to sit on because the hearts end up getting heavy. Once you have the cardboard piece ready, I used brown wrapping paper as a background for the hearts. Just glue a sheet of brown paper to the cardboard.

Step 2: With the background ready, trace a large heart in pencil onto the background. The heart outline allows you to fill the heart in with the candies perfectly.

Step 3: Time to start gluing! Now you can glue the hearts on in any pattern to fill-in the larger heart. Once the hearts are glued on make sure you rip off all the excess glue strings from the hearts. Once that’s finished, put the finished product into the frame and voila!
