Made Marian: Oozing Crafty Goodness

It seems I’m not the only one with a button themed wedding, you’ll find some buttony weddings here and here. Our wedding has button napkin rings, button invitations, button name cards, button and candle decorations, button menus and I’m sure there are more but I can’t think of any!

Now onto the point of this post, I often have a look at Martha Stewart’s website for craft ideas so I was inspired by this project to make holders for the dessert labels.  (All our desserts are going to be homemade for us by family members so I wanted to make labels to acknowledge the people who will have put so much effort in.)

Here’s my version.

We plan on having a special area for the kids that are coming to the wedding, there will be jigsaws and colouring books and possibly even a TV and DVD player for them.  Mike’s Mom has a friend who looks after kids professionally so she will be helping us out, one of the activities we have planned for them is to decorate their own gingerbread people.

It would have been much easier if I had the puncher that they mention in the instructions but my alternative was to use Microsoft Word Clip Art and insert an oval into a Document, then just printed that and used it as a template.
