DIY STAMPED FABRIC GIFT WRAP

Yesterday was my one year anniversary, which of course involved some gift giving! I decided to make his gift a little more special by wrapping it in fabric rather than wrapping paper. 

I just took an old sheet (that Chester had chewed a hole in...ugh) and cut it into a square. Then I stamped a pattern with a heart stamp and regular ink pad that I already had. After I made the pattern, I let the fabric dry. Then I tied the 4 corners at the top around the gift, and stamped a gift tag to match.

This is a super easy project that makes a gift a little more special. I might do the same thing around Christmas time with a tree or snowflake stamp!

1 YEAR AGO TODAY...

It's hard to believe that this time last year, I was getting ready for my wedding!

This first year has flown by and been so much fun. They always say that the first year of marriage is the hardest, and this year was awesome so I hope that's true! :)

I'm off to bake cookies and go shopping for the hubbs - have a great Monday!

Most people agree that the 20's are our hardest years (well that's good news!).

MY LIFE LATELY

I'm sorry the blog has been a bit of a mess this week! I'm styling a wedding this weekend so I've been finishing up a lot of decorations and organizing everything. I've also been getting my holiday collection ready for the shop, filling orders, squeezing in time to work out, and yesterday I was asked to be an extra on a new show that comes out in October (which was really fun)! 

Whew, it's been a busy week but I love it! :) Hopefully next weeks posts will be back to normal though. Have a great Thursday - link love post tomorrow!

DIY EVENT DECOR: TWINED WRAPPED JARS

This weekend, I'm styling a country/barn wedding, so I've spent the last couple of weeks wrapping twine around mason jars to make them a little more rustic looking. It's a small change but it makes a big impact. Twine wrapped jars are great for a picnic style wedding or party, and are really affordable and easy to make. 

All you need is some tacky glue, twine and jars. 

When you start, leave about an inch of twine before you start glueing it to the jar. Then as you wrap the twine around the jar, cover up that excess piece. At the end, just cut the twine and glue the entire bottom row of twine to the jar. I also put a drop of glue on top of the very end of the glue to make sure it didn't fray at the end. The glue dries clear so it isn't noticeable. 

Happy decorating!
