DIY L♥VE Birds Seating ChartOctober 19th, 2010 by Larissa

5 thumbs up

When you are a DIY gal like me and want to practically make everything for your wedding then super unique ideas are always appreciated! I found the cutest DIY project for a seating chart by Flora Fauna Designs. Check it out and notice the cute little bride/groom birdies at the top! :)  

What you’ll need:
- Tray of home grown wheatgrass
- 3 24″ balsa dowels
- Balsa wood sign
- Gold metallic string
- Miniature clothes line clips
- Guest’s names printed on paper
- A pair of wedding birds from craft store
- Black paint for sign

Instructions:
Step 1: Purchase wheatgrass kit online and follow instructions.

Step 2: Construct wire poles by cutting one of the 3 balsa dowels into 5 even pieces (about 5 inches). Wrap gold string around the top cross bar in a star pattern until parallel and secure. Repeat on lower cross bar. Repeat for opposite pole.

Step 3: Tie gold string between the two wire poles for the names to hang on. Push the poles into the tray of wheatgrass.

Step 4: Pin guest names to the string with mini clothes pins. Glue wedding birds on opposite tops of poles.

Step 5: Hand paint sign. Glue the remaining 5 inch piece of dowel to the back of the sign. Stick sign into the front of the wheatgrass tray.

Happy Friday!! Well, we all made it thru another week….big breath! I just wanted to start off the weekend with some lovely finds from this week. I am just starting this new “Friday Find” tradition so I will have more for you next week…I promise :) And…here…we…go!

Love these! From PS I made this is a handmade wrapped heel! How cool is that? I am going to break out my “creative” side this weekend and try to replicate this. I will let you know how successful I am! I totally recommend checking out this site for more creative ideas for you DIY brides out there!

The next find is an amazing equestrian inspired “faux” wedding!! Horses, fruit, flowers, an amazing tablescape, and details, details, details fill this incredible shoot! It is undeniably gorgeous, and I wouldn’t expect any less from their blog! For the entire post please venture on over to Snippet and Ink!

So, what comes after getting married?? Well, moving into your house! If you are getting nesting fever then you should really check out these super unique & elegant bowls by Up in the air somewhere. Did I mention my birthday is coming up…..hint *hint  :)

I found these very chic lights over on Oh Joy! They look almost like open flowers and create a super modern feel. You could really use these anywhere to decorate….wedding, bedroom, dining-room…get creative people!

That’s it! I will be back next week with some gorgeous weddings and more great finds! Have a lovely weekend and don’t get into too much trouble! :)
