DIY Wedding Project: Flower Girl Basket

 

This is the first do-it-yourself project I have embarked on for the wedding. The whole thing was pretty simple and cost less than $5 to make, which isn't bad considering some baskets can cost $40-$50. The ribbon is pretty long on the sides right now, but I plan on cutting it down a bit once I have access to my flower girl and I see how it looks when she holds it. 

Materials:

Small wicker basket

Lavender satin (less than one yard to cover the whole thing)

Hot glue/glue gun

Ribbon (two colors, silver and lavender)

Today is a big day in wedding planning news: I mailed my Save the Date cards! Unbelievable! Of course I have a few extras for a scrapbook that I am already planning. I have a whole layout for the cards and envelopes in my head, so I decided that I needed a nice "Save the Date" title to put on the top.
It turned out pretty nice, I think... it might even work well if you are adventerous enough to make your own Save the Date cards.
Some of the lines are pretty delicate, so if you do cut this, be careful lifting it off of the mat.
