After a few requests via twitter about how to make tissue paper pom poms, here you have them :-)
Pom poms are a fun, inexpensive and easy way to decorate your wedding. I thought i’d put a little twist in there and give them a two tone/ombré effect too.
They are so so simple to make, so i am awaiting lots of twitter images being sent to me of your pom poms please :-)
what you need:
♥ 8 layers of tissue paper, in two colours for the ombré effect.
♥ Thread or wire
♥ Scissors
1. Layer up your tissue paper, for the ombré affect have 3 sheets of orange on top, then one sheet of peach, then one of orange and three of pink.
2. Now start folding the layers in about an inch at a time.
3. After the first fold, flip the paper over and fold the other way, creating a constantina effect. (more…)

And a Happy Good Friday to you all. This will be today’s only feature due to the holidays, and i thought it would be perfect to share April’s first DIY tutorial over the bank holiday in case you fancy getting your craft on whilst you are off work.
Just in case you missed it, the spoons were the one from The Bride Diaries Photoshoot, Rustic Farm Wedding Inspiration.
These wooden spoons are such a cute favour idea, after your wedding your guests could hang them in their kitchen. You could ditch the glitter so they could be used as a utensil, you could customise them with your names or wedding date too. Not only that but they look super cute on your wedding table. These favours are perfect for a rustic farm wedding or a cooking fanatic :-)
Anyway here’s how to make them:
What you need:
♥ Wooden Spoons
♥ Paint (i used acrylic, emulsion would work too)
♥ Glue
♥ Glitter
♥ Newspaper
♥ Paintbrush
1: For the glitter hearts, using a paintbrush paint a heart shape with the PVA glue.
2: With newspaper underneath, sprinkle the glitter over the glue.
3: Shake off the excess. Then tip the collected glitter on the newspaper back into the glitter pot and reuse.
Opps i have gone crafting mad, and instead of holding off i just had to share this with you asap hehe!!
Are you craving a new idea other than the confetti cone? I know i am and so this is a super simple yet really effective way of adding some fun and personality into your day. I keep seeing graphic details and glassine envelopes, so thought they were the ideal way to hold your home made confetti. They will look super cute lined up on a tray or on your guest’s seats.
It’s really inexpensive to create and quite satisfying punching out those shapes. The great thing is you can customise to your wedding, print on the envelope a phrase, your names, the date, stamp your wedding motive of go for the had written option like me. You can go for one colour, or several, try alternatives to paper too like glitter or sequins.
I did want to make the shapes in tissue paper, but be warned they don’t cut well with the punches :-)
WHAT YOU NEED:
→ Glassine envelopes
→ Paper
→ Shape punches
→ Pen/pencil
→ Nail varnish/glitter glue
1. Grab your punch and get cutting.

Morning lovelies :-) It’s a special day today, as it’s an extra one.… one in which tradition states a woman can propose to her man… and with Valentine’s day in February too, I drew inspiration from the month of love and created a heart inspired mini inspiration shoot.
I have made heart felts in the past, so i came up with the idea of using origami hearts, oh so simple yet so very effective.
I wanted to create something clean and modern and showcase different ways in which you can use one décor idea in your wedding reception :-) I have the DIY tutorial of how to make an origami heart a little later today so stay tuned. I only threw this together yesterday, so i hope you likey.
