DIY Crazy!

I was scrapbooking with Karen and Kristin on Easter weekend and went to Michael's to get some more supplies. I was walking through the store and came across the smaller hat box that has the damask ribbon pattern on it and remembered I told Candice I'd make her a card box for her wedding coming up this October! I grabbed the hat box and immediately went down the ribbon aisle. Inspiration hit me and I couldn't wait to get back to Karen's to scrapbook and then see what I could do with the hat box.

I got done with my pages I was creating for the scrapbook and I started to work my DIY skills! I got the first layer of the cake looking card box done and then added their last name to it with scrapbooking letters I had bought for my scrapbook. I couldn't wait to finish it!

I went to Michael's after the first day back to work after Easter and couldn't wait to find the two larger hat boxes. I found em alright, they were super expensive! I decided I'd go to Joann Fabrics. Behold! The exact hat boxes and more than half the price! I was stoked! I now know where to go for hat boxes! Why am I going back for more? Because I want to make more and sell them!  I loved making this card box and I am making one Kayti for her wedding next year. I want to make some and put them on the weddingbee website and it's so much fun to do!

As for the other piece in the photo, I have no idea what Candice will use it for at her wedding if she even will use it at all, but it was fun to make. It could be used as filler on the guestbook table or welcome table. I have had a lot of inspirations lately and have been all over the weddingbee website to view their DIY gallery. Let's just say I am super excited to make more things!

If you know anyone who wants a cardbox, I'll make one! I'll ship it anywhere. I want to start making them and posting them on my blog too. They are easy to make and fun to design! I think the ribbon was the most expensive part on the box. The whole box cost me $50 and it's an amazing wedding gift, well besides me at the wedding lol, jk Candy. Love you!  I can't wait to show it to you in person! And I'm blinging out some sandals for her too! So much ahead of me! Let me know what you think guys!
