My daughter has a wedding coming this summer, and I get to be the DIY wedding decorator, and I am so excited! She has chosen her colors and now I get to put my hand to the task of creating table decorations and more!
For the table markers, I decorated the Deflecto 3" x 4" mini sign holders
With the following supplies:
Joy embroidered numbers
Cardstock - teal, black, black/ivory stripes, gold glitter, turquoise glitter
Rhinestone trim
Pearl embellishments
Adhesives, scissors, paper trimmer, glue gun
Instructions:
To make one of the flowers, cut the teal cardstock (12"x12") into nine equal squares. Cut off the four corners of one square making it round - it doesn't have to be perfect. Cut it into a spiral shape, about 3/8" thick. Leave a little circle in the middle. Roll the spiral into the form of a rose. Adhere the circle on the bottom to the rest of the flower to secure. A glue gun works best for this step, especially if you have multiple flowers to secure. I use my fingers and thumbnail to distress the edges of the rose. Repeat for each flower. Cut smaller squares of cardstock for smaller roses.
Cut out leaves by hand or with a die-cutting machine. If you cut out a heart and cut it in two; you can more easily shape each half into a leaf. Add the leaves after gluing the flowers to the frame.
To frame each table number, cut mattes from the cardstock as follows:
Stripe/teal: 3" x 4"
Gold: 2" x 2-1/2"
Black: 2-1/8" x 2-3/8"
Center and adhere the gold paper to the slightly larger black paper. Center and adhere to the background paper 1/2" up from the bottom edge. Insert into the frame.
Embellish the outside of the frame with the faux rhinestone trim, flowers, and leaves. Glue one pearl into the center of each rose.
Remove the backing from each number; center and adhere to each frame as shown in the photo given.
