Remember last Friday’s shoot? Well if not go have a looksie and come back hehe! As promised i am bringing you the DIY tutorials so you can recreate the look i created, or adapt it to your own taste’s. This week i am tacking the favours…. seeing as it’s  nearly Easter i couldn’t well bring it any later could i hehe!

The fab team, Charlotte, Rebecca and Adam at the amazing Rock My Wedding have featured this tutorial this week, thanks guys! Go see it here.

Choosing original and fun favours that your guests will treasure is tricky, but I have the perfect solution for those Spring and Easter weddings…. Egg cups of course hehe…..

What you need:

♥ Wooden Egg Cups

♥ Paint {I used acrylics}

♥ Paint Brush

♥ Sandpaper

♥ Twine

♥ Felt or Fabric

♥ Thread

♥ Needle

♥ Scissors

1. Lightly sand your egg cups, so that the paint sticks well to the cup.

2. Choose your colours and get painting; a contrasting colour on the inside makes it look really vibrant. You could even paint patterns such as polka dots!

3. For the name tags, get some felt or fabric and mark the initial lightly in pencil.

4. Using your needle and thread, create a running stich along the initial.

5. Cut to size. I like the little flag effect at the end, or choose another shape :-)

6. Get your twine and fold in two, thread it through the top of the tag and pull the ends through the loop.

7. Tie around your egg cup. For an extra cute finish why not put a flower head or some sweets in the egg cup?

8. I put my egg cups on mismatched fabric napkins with doilies on top of my plates to finish, for an extra touch tie some pretty ribbon around the cutlery. Layering really adds to the effect.

9. And voila, your guests will remember your big day each time they tuck into their boiled egg :-)

Top Tip: Grab your egg cups cheap from eBay or craft shops.

Have fun and get crafting… your wedding day will have a personal touch, you will save money and of course it will look just divine ;-) xoxo
