Thrifty Wedding DIYs

Love is in the air......
But that doesn't mean your wedding budget has to be.
 
Many of my friends have gotten engaged recently.  Money is a big stress when it comes to the budget so, I found a few DIYs that will save you money and you can do in advance with inexpensive materials.  Please click on the underlined words for the tutorials.  ENJOY!!!
 
 
 
Dress up your pumpkins, bottles, vases with GLITTER.  This makes it look elegant and chic without spending a ton of money buying the same concept at the retailers.  You may use a stencil, tape, spray adhesive, glitter and set with HAIRSPRAY....yes, hairspray to prevent glitter fall out.
 
These star bursts to the right are small Styrofoam balls, dipped in glue, and rolled in glitter.....HOW EASY is that.  Then you spray paint some coffee stirrers or toothpicks gold and simply stick them in the foam to get the star burst look.  Hang these up for a dramatic look =)  ....gorgeous 
 
 
 
 
Paper flowers can be made with tissue or crepe paper, so inexpensive.  I LOVE THE LOOK and whimsy of it all.  Click on  "paper flowers" for the DIY link to these amazing creations.
 
 
 
Paper Garland is a great way to add your colors and style using tissue paper...this would be great for any party. 
 
 
 
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE! Why not use what you already have or what others have used for their weddings.  Recycle your Wedding is a site where you can get GREAT deals for wedding items at a discounted price from previous brides.  You can even talk with  the seller to get more details.
