DIY Entertaining Idea: Custom Envelope Liners
August 1, 2011With all of this talk of construction over here it’s time for a little prettiness. Here’s a fabulous tutorial that I recently spotted that I can’t wait to try!

How creative! This would be so cute for a shower, wedding announcement or even as the lining in a thank you card (I’m picturing an adorable picture from a kid’s party with a little handwritten note from the birthday boy or girl).
Because it’s an artistic twist on the usual envelope liner rather than a picture to be displayed on the fridge, you could definitely get away with printing on regular cardstock paper from your home computer. Better yet, try printing a favorite photo over a subtly patterned piece of scrapbooking paper.

Full tutorial over here at Paiges of Style. Love this idea.

DIY Entertaining Idea: Paper Flowers
March 16, 2011Here’s a fun little tip for all of that left over wrapping paper you might have lying around.

I’m a huge fan of using a roll as an impromptu table runner or cut up as individual place mats (it helps incorporate beautiful patterns and colors – plus you can toss it when you’re done), but I love the idea of using this simple Martha Stewart tutorial to create small flowers for either a bouquet or even as individual stems wrapped around your silverware or wine glass.

Here’s the full DIY instructions.

Beautiful, right? Perfect for a shower, birthday or even a wedding. I love how simple and classic it looks!
