Fast and Easy Wedding Favor

From Pinterest Favecrafts.com
 
Looking for a fast and easy favor you can make for your wedding? Take some wine corks, add a key ring and a label with the date and location of your wedding. Easy to make!
 
Plus if you don't think you can drink your way through 200 bottles of wine so you have enough corks, head to your local Whole Foods Market. They recycle corks. Mine will give them to me as long as I ask. Nice way to re-purpose for your wedding!

Easy DIY Napkin Rings

Photo from Heart of Light
 
It's not everyday you find a DIY project that is super easy to make and will add a unique touch to your wedding day. These napkin rings act as place cards as well as napkin rings--a double whammy. Made by the crafty group at Heart of Light, these are made with heavy stock paper and zots (if you've never used zots you will be blown away at how easy them make crafting!) Plus download this. For step by step directions head over to Heart of Light.
 
This is guaranteed to be an EEEBCDI(Easy enough even Bill can do it) project so your fiance can give you some help with these--no excuses about not being crafty! If you don't read my blog regularly, these are projects that my  husband (the least crafty man in the world) has tested for me to see how easy they REALLY are to make. If he can do it, anyone can, your man included.
 
So take a night and knock out some of these beauties to decorate your tables for your wedding reception. Or if  you are newly married why not use them for your first dinner party as newlyweds? Have fun!

Black and White Washi Tape Tricks

It doesn't get much easier than this! Washi tape on plastic cups. If you can't pull this one off ... Face it, if I can do it, you can too! This project is an EEEBCDI! For those of you new to my blog it stands for 'easy enough even Bill can do it' (Bill is my non-crafty husband who tests our my diy projects to see how easy they are to make.)
 
These cups are perfect for a picnic wedding or a bride with a black and white theme. Add some black and white straws to pull the look together. Takes the look from ho hum plastic cups to WOW!
 
You can find washi tape in any craft store, just look for your favorite designs and colors. Or shop online.They even sell colored straws in a variety of colors and designs. .
