DIY Ostrich Feather Embellished Wedding Menus
Things
you will need:
Your
own menu design
Your
own menu wrapper design
Light
Pink Ostrich Feather – Bought on Ebay
Double
Sided Tape
Things
from around the house:
Metal
ruler
Box
cutter knife
Cutting
mat
Step 1:
I
used Photoshop to design my wedding menus and the menu wrappers. I
used elements from my wedding invitation design to tie together the
theme.
Step
2:
I
printed out the menus and the menu wrappers as shown below.
Step
3:
After
printing out all the menus I cut them all out and put them in piles
of 10.
Step
4:
I
took one wrapper and folded the edges back around the menu. After you
fold the edges back around the menu cut two slits at the top and
bottom of the wrapper for the feather. My wrapper was too short so I
cut another smaller piece and used double side taped it to make a
full loop over the menu. If the wrapper is long enough then you can
just use the double sided tape to make the loop around the menu.
Step
5:
Once
the wrappers are fully taped and cut start to loop the feathers into
them as shown below.
I
hope my guests will like the soft look of the pale pink ostrich
feathers at their place setting.
The best part is that I made these myself and I put my personal touches and saved money on the table decorations for my wedding!

DIY ~ Something Blue
It can be hard to find the perfect something blue to go with your gown. I bought my wedding shoes at 6pm shoes for $19! I love the gems but I felt that there was something missing. Since I was looking to add something blue I decided to embellish my shoes with blue bows. I found a fork ribbon bow tutorial on You Tube! It is super fast and awesome! All I did next was hot glue (or you could sew) the fork ribbon bows onto my wedding shoes. Now I have my something blue to wear on my wedding day....which I think is super cute!
DIY Shutterfly Wedding Guest Book
I made this guest book from my engagement photos on Shutterfly. I bought a groupon for $20. I made the bow with a fork bow tutorial I found on You Tube. I recommend trying to make a bow with a fork....super easy! I used a hot glue gun to glue the ribbon onto itself to attache to the guest book and just slid the ribbon bow on to a pretty pen. In no time I had a guest book with a pen for my upcoming wedding!
