Ever wondered what to do with all those old wine corks you have accumulated after ALL those parties with friends (yes, I know, you didn't drink all those cases of wine all by yourself! Sure you didn't!)How about this great DIY project?

Anyone can do it, it's a SEEBCDI(as my older readers know this means its 'so easy even Bill can do it' (Bill being my ever patient husband who is all thumbs when it comes to crafting who tests out just how hard (or easy) a DIY project is.) I promised him ... well we won't go there... lets just say he is well compensated for being a craft guinea pig! Anyway according to Bill this is 'a piece of cake' (wedding cake that is!).

So if you're not too crafty but want a DIY centerpiece or accents for your wedding, try this centerpiece out. Oh, and btw, sometimes Whole Foods collects old wine corks so you aren't FORCED to drink all that wine! I know, it would be such a hardship to share a few bottles with more than a few friends! So party on, don't drink and drive, and you'll love how easy this project is! You can find the tutorial here, at two twenty one.

Mason Jar Simple Centerpiece-Very DIY!

Want an easy DIY centerpiece for your wedding? Try these simple mason jars, tied with a ribbon in your wedding colors or to coordinate with them, and add Craspedia Billy Ball Flowers (see Fifty Flowers where you can get 100 stems for $108.99) and use some lightly colored water.  Easy, simple, and inexpensive.  Look for your mason jars at garage sales or buy them by the case at BuyCheaper, either way they aren't very expensive.  When choosing your jars consider the size of your tables, larger tables, use larger jars.  Or consider using multiple jars on each table but smaller jars.  Your call. 

I can visualize this with three jars on a table using bright grosgrain ribbon in hot colors or paler colors to suit your color scheme.  This is definitely an EASY DIY project, one that is doable on the day of your wedding or even the day before without going insane.  (Photo courtesy of Becky Young Photography, Denver, CO)
