DIY: Hanging Photo

Another DIY is a our picture display for the registration table. I just simply layout a polaroid style pictures of us and print it on a photo paper. I want to hang these pictures using a wooden clips but of course I dont want just a plain clips, and since I don't have time to do a DIY letter blocks to spell out our name, I thought the covered button with letters will be a perfect alternative. The step is just the same as my covered button for the pen holder. But this time I use stamp letters to achive a consitency in font style & size. 

1. Cut a piece of fabric, the size depends on your covered button size.
2. Stamp the letter using the stamp letter & stamp pad.

3. Then follow the instruction on the back of the carton of this covered buttons on how to attach the fabric on the button. Just make sure that your letter is on the middle part of the button.

4. Attached your finished covered button onto the wooden clips.

5. Do these on every letter to spell out your name/words.

6. Tie one end of the string/yarn into a bottle and the other end to another bottle to create something that will look like a clotheline.
7. Bring out your photos & time to clip it into your clotheline using your wooden
clips.

While clipping the photos on clothesline I suddenly realize that my name was too long and I cannot fit it all. So I decided to just use our nicknames "BRY♥MEI" 

My DIY Hanging Photo in action but because of the strong wind in the venue the pictures kept on flipping over.

DIY: Guestbook Pen & Pen Holder

It's been 3 months already after our wedding, I thought I will not be busy anymore but because I got a lot of work to do, plus my family visit me here last month, and that honeyko♥ & I are going to be a parent now, I become a little busy and almost forgot that I need to update my DIYs so I can share it with the soon to be Brides out there.

So here is our DIY Guestbook Pen. It is actually a permanent marker with a fine felt tip that can write in a glossy surface or even on glass, and it dries fast so no smudging compare to those gel pens that you need to wait to dries first when writes on glossy surface. I bought this from DAISO for 2 singdollar for 3 pens. At first my plan is to wrap a jute string around the pen beacause I saw this inspiration on the internet, but since I cannot find a nice jute string here and I think this look will be more on rustic style compare to a shabby chic style, I tried to think an alternative for a jute string and that is yarn, the good thing about the yarn is I can have the color that I want and I i think it is more comfortable for my guest to hold the pen since yarn is soft compare to a jute string.

Pen & Yarn from DAISO

Anyway let me tell you how I do it. You just need to do 2 somple steps:

1. Wrap the yarn around the pen, both the body & the cap. 

2. Then put a fabric flower on top end part of the pen. (the fabric flower I used is a scrapbooking embellishment which I collect, but if you don't have a pre-made one, just  google some tutorial on how to do a fabric flower.)

The Mummy Pen..haha..

Easy right? I think you can also Use some fresh flowers If you can't make the fabric one. 

Because I'm not happy that my pen will be just laying on the registration table so I also create a pen container. You need a small piece of burlap fabric or any fabric you want, a covered buttons, a permanent marker, a mason jar, string/yarn and a glue gun. Then follow these steps:

1. Cut a piece of fabric, the size depends on your covered button size.

2. Hand write the letter with a permanent marker.

3. Then follow the instruction on the back of the carton of the covered buttons on how to attach the fabric on the button. Just make sure that your letter is on the middle part of the button. 

4. Attached your finished covered button onto the string/yarn.

5. Tied it into the mason jar. You can put a little glue at the back of the buttons to secure it in place like what I did. 

The final product

By the way this is my inspiration.

And that's it. Hope you liked it.

DIY: Coin Pillow

When I saw this pink polka dots pillow in Daiso, I quickly grab it thinking this is a great pillow for our Coin Pillow. I just basically add the silver satin flowers that I made, tie a ribbon at the bottom part, and just sew a covered button in the center, I am planning to put the coins in a see-through fabric pouch and just sit it at the center of the pillow.

DIY: Bunting

Another finished DIY is our bunting  that we're gonna use in decorating our DIY candy buffet table. I don't know yet the exact size of the table that the venue will provide for us so I just prepared 2 extra triangle flags in case we need a longer bunting.

DIY: Guestbook Sign

Initially my plan is to use scrabble tiles to spell the "SIGN OUR GUESTBOOK" as a decoration in our registration table. But because of these wooden blocks that I found in Daiso, the scrabble tiles is now out of the picture.Hehe...

 Here's what I did, luckily the size of the letters in my template is just right for the size of the blocks that i bought. I just simply trace the letters on the wooden blocks using a permanent markers.
And voila!!! instant decoration. =)

DIY: Fabric Flowers

DIY: "Here Comes the Bride" Banner

3 more weeks before our "Big Day", and I still need to do alot of DIYs, I actually accomplished alot of thing last week. And I am sharing you one of those. I actually cross this out on my list since I cannot find a burlap fabric here in singapore, but when I saw this pink fabric in Daiso (i don'y know exactly what kind of fabric is this), an idea hit me, and I think it would be a perfect alternative to a burlap fabric for this project. I also bought the letter template to use for this project.

I cut out letters to spell the "KUYA BRY" on the gray felt fabric then cover it with a lace fabric (this lace fabric is actually a lace curtain that I also got from Daiso). I do the same procedure for the "BRIDE" but using a white felt fabric as a base. 

 Then I write the "HERE COMES" using the template on the pink fabric, and freehand writing the "YOUR" word.  And finally I attached the cut out letters to the pink fabric using fabric glue.

Here is the final product. I add a heart shape on top of the letter I on the BRIDE. I am still thinking if I will use a stick or just attach a string for the handle on top.   

And here is my inspiration. I think i will also add some flower embelishments on sides.
