Hey, I just finished some new bouquet which were a custom order and I thought I would share some photos.  I love the way they turned out with the greys and blacks.  

Just received another photo today from one of our lovely brides of our Vintage Inspired bouquet.  
Thanks for sharing! 

One of our lovely brides was kind enough to send us a photo of her cake which has our fabric flower topper and cake flowers down the side.  I love the different flowers added in with them.  Just gorgeous!!

This is the beautiful bride with her bridal party.

DIY Projects- Heart Page Marker and Shoe Hangers

Welcome back to our weekly Recipe/ DIY Blog! This week I chose two easy DIY projects that I just adore. The first is for my fellow book lovers and is also a wonderful project you can do with your kids. This cute Origami Heart Page Marker is a quick, fun activity that will give them a little something they can use for school and give you something easy to do together. The second is a wonderful organizing idea for storing all of your sandals and flip flops- I know I own an embarrassing amount at this point, how about you? XP These simple shoe hangers are fashionable and space saving and I look forward to making more in the future.

Origami Heart Page Marker

Step One

Use a square piece of paper, I would suggest no bigger than 6x6. You can use any kind of paper you have laying around. In my case, I found some leftover scrapbook paper and cut it down to size.

Because my paper doesn't have the design above on both sides I have to keep track of how I'm folding. A fail safe is to consider this design side, Side A and the white side, Side B.

Step Two

Fold your piece of paper in half. Crease.

Step Three

Fold your paper in half again. Crease.

 Step Four

Open up your paper and have Side B facing up.

 Step Five

Fold the bottom portion to the middle crease line.

 Step Six

Turn your paper over to Side A. Now fold up the bottom corners into triangular edges.

 After both sides have been folded, it should look like below.

 Step Seven

Turn over to Side B.

 Step Eight

 Now bring the point that's been created at the bottom to the top.

 Step Nine

 Turn over to Side A.

 Step Ten

 Use your finger to make an opening in one of the flaps in the bottom center.

Step Eleven

Flatten this little flap to form a triangle.

 Now Repeat this step for the other side.

Step Twelve

Now fold a triangle from the edge for both sides.

 Step Thirteen

 Fold a tiny triangle from each peak.

 

Step Fourteen

Turn over to Side B. Fold the areas behind the dotted lines shown below.

 And ta-da! You now have a uber cute little book mark :]

Shoe Hanger

What you'll need:

• Wire Hangers
• Ribbon
• Buttons
• Fabric glue or Super glue or Hot glue
• Ruler
• Scissors

Step One

Take one of your wire hangers and placing your hands on each side of the hanger pull it's "arms" downward.

 

 

Step Two

 One side at a time, pull the wire upward creating a scoop effect.

 Once complete, the hanger should take on a similar shape to the one below. Don't worry if it's not perfect, just do your best to get the sides as even as possible.

Step Three

Cut the ribbon of your choice into a 16in strip. Place your ribbon very close by. Now apply your glue to the sides and middle of the upper portion of your hanger like below, this helps secure your ribbon.

Step Four

As soon as you lay down your glue, quickly grab your ribbon and place roughly it's middle onto this upper portion of the hanger like below.

Step Five

Now take one side of your ribbon and pull it behind the front of your hanger and upwards.

 

Step Six

Just like in Step Three, we're now going to apply some glue on the hanger frame to add more support and make the ribbon easier to maneuver. This application goes right above where your ribbon that has been glued already rests- this is where the ribbon will fold again.

 

Step Seven

As soon as you apply the glue, fold your piece of ribbon over to the front. You may want to apply a dab of glue in the subsequent crease in the corner as well as the center to add support and keep your ribbon from slipping. 

Step Eight 

Repeat Steps Six and Seven for the other side of your ribbon. The outcome should look like the photo below. 

Step Nine

Now it's time to trim any extra ribbon. As you can see in the photo above, my excess ribbon falls almost an inch past the end of the part of ribbon covering the middle of the hanger frame. It may help to flip your hanger over to trim it more exact.

Step Ten

Cut a small, roughly 2in strip of ribbon and round the edges like below. This will go on the back to cover some unattractive hanger frame showing.

Step Eleven

 Flipping your hanger over, apply your glue to the center portion of the hanger frame that's showing.

Step Twelve

Before the glue can dry, place your rounded piece of ribbon onto it from Step Ten.

 

 Step Thirteen

At this point, the basic hanger is complete and should look similar to the one below. However, for aesthetic reasons I chose to follow the extra steps after this to add a cute button.

 Step Fourteen

After choosing your button, apply glue to the back.

 

Step Fifteen 

Glue your button to the center of the front of your hanger. When complete your hanger should look like the ones I made below.

Hang these up in your closet when your done, and there you have it, a simple space saver for your shoes that can be made using old wire hangers. I don't even know how or when I got my hands on so many wire hangers since I never use them... but at least I've found a good use for them now :] Wish me luck on getting my closet organized XP

I hope you enjoyed today's activities. Check back next week for another wicked recipe!
