DIY

I totally stole this idea from Jessica over Project: 10k Wedding. So thanks for the idea!! :)

I bought this at my dollar store for $1. It is just a small photo album. Cute huh?


And inside I am keeping ideas and things that I have made for my wedding in them. I am printing everything out that I like, I have made, Or that I want to make. This way everything is right together and I can take this with me where ever I go. This is going to come on hand when I go to the mall in a couple of weeks to get my flowers. I have a picture of my bouquet so instead of trying to remember I can just look at this. I thought it was an awesome idea!! So here is my take on it. :)

DIY Finished Bridesmaids Bags

Yesterday I got the bridesmaids tote bags done. I just have to say they are adorable, I should have gotten one for myself. lol. All 3 of the bags are the same, but 1 of them I put sunflowers on because I know that she loves sunflowers. They are just simple bags. I thought they could use them to put their clothes in or whatever else they need at the wedding. So here are the finished bags:

The brown bag and the Olive Green bag are the same. With the butterflies in the bottom left hand corner. Aren't they cute?? I am so proud of myself.. :)

Then this bag has the same butterfly as the rest of them but it is in the top left hand corner and then I put 2 little sunflowers in the bottom right hand corner because I know that she likes sunflowers. :)

DIY Bridesmaids Gifts...

Me and the family went to Wal-Mart today. As I was looking around I seen that you could buy these little tote bags that you could decorate yourself. I just had to have them. I then seen the little iron on embellishment things that you can get, so I got some of those too. I am going to make my bridesmaids their own little tote bags made by me. :) I hope that they like them. Here is what I got to make them:

In this picture is the tote bags. One is Brown, One is an olive green, and the other is an ivory color. They are SO pretty! Then for the iron ons I got a misc. pack some butterflys and then a couple of gem ones. Not sure what I want to use yet. But I figured if they come out good I could go buy some more and make me a couple. :)

This is a close up of the iron ons that I got. So I am hoping that they turn out cute.. I will post pictures when I get them done. :)

AND, something I am really excited about. I got the 1st and 2nd season of the Gilmore Girls. I LOVE this show but after I moved out of my moms I forgot about it being on and just didn't have time to keep up with it while it was on TV so I bought the first two and then everytime I go over I am going to buy either one or two until I get all of the seasons. Here is a picture of them.. :)

DIY Votive Holders.

If you go HERE you will see that I got 18 votive candle holders for $18.00 at a Dollar General that I went to. I am going to get white, unscented candles to put inside of them. But when I went to wal mart I bought some brown ribbon that I put around the votive holders. It turned out really cute and I think it will look nice on the tables. I only got about 6 of them done, I have a total of 18 to do. It gets boring taking your time wrapping the ribbon around these cups and trying to tie it so that it looks nice. But here is my finished results...

DIY Nails

Here is my first DIY project and it is nails. I wanted some nice nails for my wedding but I didn't want to spend 25-45 dollars to get my nails done. So, one day I was watching some YouTube videos and I came across a video for Broadway Nails. You can find the YouTube video HERE. So when I went to Wal Mart on Friday I decided to pick me up a pack of them and try them because they looked really nice on the girl who did the YouTube video. And I have to say I was not disappointed! These nails look and feel like you have just been to a salon and got your nails done by a professional. No kidding! They look awesome. I put these nails on Friday and it is now Monday and they still look like I just put them on. The wear on them is between 7 and 10 days so I would say do them 1 to 2 days before your wedding and they will look awesome.
Here is one picture of the my nails with the Broadway Nails on. (FYI, Broadway is just the brand of the fake fingernails. :)
Aren't they pretty? Nice and shiny and they aren't too long either. That is another thing, when you buy the nails make sure that you get the "Real Short" kind. It says that right in the left hand corner of the package. I can actual still type and do everything else with them on, they do not get in my way what so ever.
The whole package cost my a little under $6.00 and you get the nails, glue, a nail file, and a cuticle pusher. I know that in the YouTube Video that I watched the girl said to put the glue right on the fake nail and then apply the fake nail to your real nail. I did this for 2 of my nails and stopped doing it. The reason for this was that my real nails were shorter than the tan color of the fake nail and I actually put the glue up to high and I glued my skin to the fake nail. So after those 2 nails I then just put 2 drops of glue on my actual nail right in the middle, I then took the tip of the glue and swirled the glue around on my fingernail, all the way to the sides of my nail, all the way to the top of my nail and make sure that you get plenty of glue and that is spread around the whole nail so that you don't get spots that you can see through the fake nail. Then when you go to put the fake nail on push REALLY hard for 10 to 15 seconds. Push as hard as you can stand it. This will get all of the air bubbles out and your nails will look awesome! If you have any questions you can e-mail me or comment on here.
I hope you enjoyed this DIY project. I am really happy with these nails and think they look awesome!
And here is the last picture of my nails that I took:
