    Definitely use regular paper.  Cardstock will be too thick for the modpodge to penetrate to make it seal to the tile (hope that makes sense, lol). :)

     

    Ladies, I also want to mention that hot glue didn't work very well to keep the magnets attached.  I tried a couple on my fridge after letting them dry for a few days and the tile fell right off the magnet.  I'm going to use a strong epoxy and see how that goes.

    Now comes the hard part. You want to get the thread through the cork. After much trial and error I found it easiest to go sideways through the skinny end. Go slow and use your thimble! tesaza4y.jpg After you get the cork through, pull it all the way to the knot at the end of the string. Then slide your message down the string and double tie it, leaving about 1/2-3/4 inch of string. This makes it easier to pull the message out later. 8etude8a.jpg Roll your message with the writing facing inwards. gabe6ana.jpg Then pop it in the bottle and seal it with the cork. At this point you can trim any loose strings. 5yhapetu.jpg Next, cut about 2 inches of cord. enumy7uq.jpg Finally, thread your charm and double knot it around the neck of the bottle. You're all done! :) u6e8u8yp.jpg

    mehahy3y.jpg I just made these super cute mini favor bottles for guests to collect sand at the beach to keep as a memory of the trip. I'm not sure how I'm going to package them yet but they're going to go in the OOT bags. I ordered the jars from china on eBay. I paid right around $5 for 20 of them. The starfish charms are also from eBay. I think it was about $5 for 90 so there are plenty left over for another project. esavura3.jpg Here's a list of everything I used: Jars Starfish charms Wax cotton cord (from michaels, left over from my invites) 1/16 inch hole punch (also from michaels, left over from invites) Paper and printer Scissors Needle and thread Thimble Small bowl for collecting scraps (not necessary but I made my in bed so cleanup was a breeze) I started by printing the message on plain paper using the Avery 5160 label template in word. u4ypa2ym.jpg Next, cut the strips of paper to size. This is a bit tricky. If you make them too big the cork will squish the message. Too small and they will turn sideways and be difficult to remove. I measured the paper against the length of the bottle right past the neck. y6y4ytut.jpg (Please excuse my un-manicured nails!) :) Next, punch your message at the tail end: y4apy7up.jpg (Continued)...

    A question for all the brides who got their dresses from babyonline on dhgate. I've found two sellers with similar names, babyonline and babyonlinedress. Which of the two did you get your dresses from? Are they the same person/ seller?

    Please help.

    I'd like to know this too.  I have a convo going with Babyonline to make my dress- want to be sure it's the right one!

What do you think, do you clothed the dress to the wedding?

    Mam problem z babyonline. Załączam zdjęcie poniżej sukienek, które dostałem przed złożeniem zamówienia, a mój biały jeden. W mojej opinii jest to bardzo różne. Napisałem do sprzedawcy, że mi się nie podoba, ale nie wiem, czy można to naprawić. Wystrój jest inny kształt i nie jest symetryczna. Jak myślisz, czy ubranego w sukienkę na wesele?

    Yikes- I hope they can fix this for you!  The difference between the two is huge.

    Our DIY Cruise Wedding Passport Invites (Pic Heavy!)

    in DIY Forum: Passport Invitation Template, Boarding Pass Invitation Templates and more

    I'm so excited to show you all our DIY passport invites for our cruise wedding!  They finally went in the mail last weekend, and our guests LOVE them!  We bought the template from Vanessa's Destination Weddings (you can find her contact info here: http://diy.weddingbee.com/topic/vanessas-diy-destination-wedding-passport-invites-038-rsvp-boarding-passes#axzz2hdPSpurY

     

    We really couldn't be happier with how they turned out.  It was a lot of work- all said and done probably 50-60 hours, but we are so proud that we did them ourselves and saved hundreds of dollars too.

     

    (I can't figure out how to rotate the images, so some are sideways.  Sorry!)

    Completed Invites ready to mail!

     

    We used the template but it was designed for a land based DW.  We had to re-do everything for a cruise:

    The RSVP is also a postcard, which saved on postage! It's perforated so guests can tear off the reminder to keep.  The QR code leads people directly to our wedding website.

    I have a 2 hoop fishtail petticoat on underneath, think I'll make the hoops a teeny bit smaller when I have the dress shortened. The veil isn't the one I will be wearing.

     

    Please excuse the sheet I'm standing on to keep the dress clean and the various wedding packaging strewn about the place! Mum had to take the pics from the patio hence the strange photos of the door and net curtains, sorry they aren't the best.

    Absolutely beautiful!! I love it. :)

    Eyebrow Threading

    in Beauty, Exercise, Diet

    Posted

    I love threading!  I can't do wax because I am super sensitive to it (I get bad bad ingrown hairs every time), but threading doesn't cause that.  In my area it's hard to find people that do it though.  I usually have to go to the mall to get it done.
