Inspiration Board
Polyvore! Love you.
Not sure how many of you have seen the website Polyvore, but I am loving it. It lets you make inspiration boards for fashion items, like if you wanted to put together an outfit for an occasion, you could clip it all from the websites, put it together in Polyvore and see how well it meshes. I did one of some of the ideas I've liked so far, just really simple. it definitely allowed me to 'see' my ideas better.

These items can be found here.
They are slightly expensive, I'm sure they can be made into DIY projects for a fraction of the cost. I am in love with the garter belt and the champagne glasses. |

Origami Balloon Lights.
Origami balloon instructions
The traditional origami model presented here is inflatable. As your final step, just blow into the bottom end of it. Instructions Difficulty: Easy Steps in Origami Balloon creation: Start with any end of a square sheet of paper facing you. Fold the bottom edge to the top edge. Crease and unfold. Fold the left edge to the right edge. Crease and unfold. Turn the paper over. Fold the bottom left corner up to meet the top right corner. Crease and unfold. Fold the bottom right corner to the top left corner. Crease and unfold. Grasp the left and right edges so your thumbs are positioned at the horizontal crease line. Gently push the edges together and down to the center of the bottom edge. Flatten to form a triangle. Fold the right corner flap up to meet the top point so that the bottom edge of the flap lies along the existing center vertical crease. Crease. Repeat for the bottom left flap. Turn the paper over and repeat for the remaining two bottom flaps. Bring the point of the right top flap to the center. Crease. Repeat for the left top flap. Turn the paper over and repeat. Bring the left top flap down as far as it will go without disturbing any of the previous folds. The top point of the flap will be pointing outward. Crease and unfold. Repeat with the top right flap. Bring the left flap down and tuck it all the way into the pocket formed at the top of the left triangle. Place your finger between the folds to open the pocket, if necessary. Once the flap is tucked into the pocket, press flat. Repeat on the right side. Turn the paper over and repeat steps 7 and 8. Inflate the balloon by blowing into the hole at the bottom. |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
Ring Pillow
It takes luck, love, and careful planning to pull off a glitch-free wedding. To improve your luck, why not try a four-leaf-clover ring pillow? Start with a store-bought pillow, or make your own (ours is 5 inches square). Hunt for clovers or purchase them via mail order. Cut organza and linen each into a square 1/2 inch larger than the pillow's face. Sew the squares together by stacking them, then stitching a cross through middle, with stitching ending 1/4 inch from the edges. Fold back organza corners, and affix clovers to linen using white craft glue. Let dry. Fold fabrics' edges under by 1/4 inch, and press. Top stitch to pillow, with care -- the clovers are fragile. Tack a silk cord to the center of the pillow and tie the rings to it.

Paper Lanterns
The soft light of paper luminaries sets a romantic mood. Two bags, one fitted over the other, form a box. The lanterns, strung on electric Christmas-tree lights and hung along branches, are tied with ribbon and sway gently in the evening breeze.
Tools and Materials Strings of full-size Christmas lights with clear bulbs (remove every other bulb) Light-colored paper bags about 7 inches wide (for each lantern, you'll need two the same size) A utility knife A ruler 2-inch round self-stick labels 2-inch-wide single-face satin ribbon (one 48-inch length for each lantern) Paper Lanterns How-To 1. Trim the tops of each bag to make straight edges. For the top of each lantern, stick a label on the inside bottom center of one bag to reinforce. Reaching inside the bag with a utility knife, cut two 1 1/2-inch slits, making an X on the label. 2. To attach bags to lights, first remove a bulb, and slide the socket through the X, and then screw the bulb back in. 3. For the lantern bottom, slide a second bag up over the first one. 4. Lay the center of the ribbon on top of the wire at the socket; wrap ribbon snugly down sides of bags. Knot at bottom and let ends hang. |
