Wedding DIY Projects: Table Numbers & Centerpieces

Working on the centerpieces for the tables my sister & I decided to be a bit creative. Floating candles? Don't pay extra for special floating candles because guess what? Regular old tea light candles FLOAT! My sister will have a few votives with some floating candles and then a few on the table next to some Instagram pictures of her & her honey.

We used the larger ones found at IKEA (see label below) & some fancy wedding washi tape found at Michaels!

With the simple magic of Sharpie Paint Pens & some old wine bottles we created a few masterpieces.

We found the ideas on Pinterest, but found that the easiest way to do the table numbers was to simply free-hand the numbers right on the glass.

PS to get those stubborn wine labels off we soaked the bottles in soap & hot water & then scrubbed and scrubbed!

Hope these ideas inspire you & add some fun to your next dinner party or to your wedding!

Ru row. Here's a confession: online shopping is addicting. It's too easy. I usually avoid the temptation, but every few months I give in (which kind of doesn't help because I end up buying four things in one day... but I stray). Here are my most recent purchases:

A lovely print from The Wheatfield for Chels. Thanks Kelle for showing us Mary Oliver and Katie for making this gorgeous print.

Pick Your Plum is like the Groupon for crafters. Goodness, I love it. Picked up my first few rolls of washi tape & I'm excited for all the potential projects and adorning.

Another lovely print, this time for me. It's a great reminder. Where it's hanging: above the sink. Yes, doing the dishes are one of the many things I should start doing with great love. There it will be a constant reminder every time I get a drink of water or fill up the kettle. Thanks Jacky for exposing me to Lindsay.

And this random little purchase. Gotta love Amazon Prime... It's grilling season, yo! & yes, I realize this product is for little ones, but it is normal sized.
