In my final recap post (sniff! sniff!) I wanted to highlight some of the DIY projects we did for the wedding and give you some basic instructions on how I made them all. Crafting projects can be daunting and a little overwhelming at times, but I am so glad we powered through and got most of our original projects finished for the wedding. I believe it made it that much more personal to us and our guests. It was also hella fun having crafting parties with our bridesmates and random wedding folk!
The Ring Book
The front of the Ring Book
We wanted something our ring bearer could carry that was large enough to actually carry (and not just hold). It also needed to have some kind of thing that detached so the rings could be passed around for our guests to bless the rings during the ceremony. In the end, I bought a cardboard book from the craft store Micheal’s, some scrapbook paper and pulled out my handy-dandy modge-podge glue. Voila! In about two hours time, I had our ring book. For the detachable part, I cut some styrofoam and covered it in leftover fabric. Then I modge-podged a tinier box (with a tinier section of fabric covered styrofoam inside of it) for the rings themselves!
