tutorial #1

Hello Brides and DiYers!  I believe that handcrafted items give more meaning to any celebration, especially a wedding, so this month I am bringing you an easy tutorial for making beautiful and unique escort cards.





Materials you need:



faux flowers, tags, pen, x-acto knife, decorative tape (washi tape), number stamps, ink pad for stamps, scissors.

Step One:



Write the name of the guest with a pen in the lower left hand corner of the tag.  Stamp the table number next to the name.

Step Two:


Make a cut in center lower part of the tag.

Step Three:



Cut a flower with stem from the branch.  Insert stem of flower through the cut in the tag.

Step Four:


Tape to secure the stem of the flower to the back of the tag with either clear tape or decorative tape.

Step Five:


admire your work

Step Six:


Tape the tags to a door (this is our chippy pink door) or any other surface and let the guests find themselves!


(this is the first of a monthly tutorial column i will be writing, so come back often!)
