The newly weds are on their way home and I think I have finally recovered from the wedding of the year. (at least in my house)
Join me next week for DIY WEDDING WEEK – April 4-8.  Tutorials and how-to for creating simple decorations with stunning results. No wedding planned in the near future – no problem? Most of these projects are perfect for springtime decorating or any special party or event. There will also be giveaways each day… so be sure to “tune in” !

The wedding countdown is well underway… I am up to my eyeballs with paper goodies. These flowers are going to make fantastic centerpieces. Making them is fun, and I have them in a variety of flower types. My new eclips* has become a very key part of the process – taking all the work out of cutting the flowers.
To create a centerpiece, you will need to start by making the flower picks. To go with our homespun theme, I decided to keep the sticks bare, and use only white paper. Of course you can paint the sticks to match or coordinate with your colors. Printed papers with small patterns also look very cute. This tutorial covers the daisy, which is a double flower.
