Wedding crafts

Today I helped my girlfriend Jill make a wedding cake money box for her Niece's wedding.  We bought three round boxes in different sizes at Hobby Lobby and worked our magic.

 

This is where we started.  We painted the boxes white.

Then we used Gesso and decopauged some paper onto the tops of the boxes and around the lip of the box.

 

      Here is our finished product.  We will cut a slit in the back of the box for guests to insert their envelopes.  We offset two ribbons and Jill attached a key to the bottom tier and a family brooch to the middle tier.

  The top tier has a little bird nest with two eggs symbolic of the bride and groom.

 

I also made a paper cone that will hang on the brides chair that coordinates with the cake.

 

These are so easy to make.  Just take on 12x 12 piece of cardstock and roll into a cone shape.  Attach with hot glue and add your paper creations.  I inserted some straw and added a satin ribbon by punching holes on either side of the cone.  These would be great treat holders for Easter.  

 Here's one I made  for my girls' first holy communion.  I will hang these on the children's chairs at our celebration at the house. I will add little cross and dove shaped cookies in the cone and a little prayer.

 

The paper flower can be found at Michaels in the paper embellishment aisle.  Made by K & Company.

   Thanks Jill for a great craft day!

Hi,

I just wanted to say that I love your blog.

As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.

I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.

Keep up the good work.

Best regards,
Lisa Bloom
