Do It Yourself Week

We're kicking off a week of DIY projects for your weddings. I know budgets can be tight when planning a wedding so if you consider yourself "crafty" then maybe you should save yourself some money and create your own pieces for your wedding.



Candle Wedding Centerpieces
At these blossoming tables, conversation will be anything but garden variety. For centerpieces, print our exclusive clip art onto 11-by-17-inch paper, wrap around square candleholders, and trim the bottoms with ribbon.

You can also learn how to make our floral table numbers and download the clip art here.

Print clip art onto standard-weight 11-by-17-inch paper (if your printer does not handle this size, copy the clip art onto a disc or thumb drive, and take it to a copy shop or office-supply store with a printing department).

Then, cut the templates to fit various heights of square candleholders or vases (to shorten the wrapper, cut away excess from bottom by the stem). Wrap around candleholders, and secure with double-sided tape.

To finish the bottoms, wrap green grosgrain ribbon around the candleholder, and secure with double- sided tape.
