DIY...

Last week I told you all about my friend Laura's bachlorette, {here}.  You may have noticed in some of the pictures all of us ladies had flower wrist corsages, well I made them!  They were a way to all be a part of this day, and we totally stood out as LAURA'S GIRLS when we had them on that's for sure!  Inspired from Renee over at {Eat.Live.Shop} and a tweet she sent out that she herself was doing tool flowers for a bachlorette. 
So I took her idea and ran with it!

Below is my DIY for tool flowers!  These would be great attached to a barrett for a little girls hair, done in other colours for ANY other event where some people need to stand out! 
Think of the fun for shower events etc!

Get DIY'ing everyone!

These are the supplies you will need, tool, stretchy lace, paper fascinators 

and some beautiful beads (with flat backs.)

Measure the tool to be 4ft long and 6inches wide.

Roll the tool up until it is 1 inch wide and start to loop it around the fascinator.

Once all the tool is on, close the fascinator nice and tight.

Glue the lace together into a loop, then glue the lace to the fascinator to make the bracelet portion.

Now glue on a fancy bead of your choice to the top of the fascinator.

Now you fluff and seperate the 'pedals' to make it nice and big.

This is what it looks like all done!  A flower wrist corsage!

I happened to make a larger one for our bride.  

I did the pink flower first, then repeated the same steps 

with the white tool, and make it slightly larger.

Summer Fun...

Wedding season is in full swing, and when one of your oldest friends gets married you throw her the best last fling that you can!  This weekend was exactly that, it was also the reason for no post yesterday I was exhausted from all the fun we had!

The weekend took place in Niagara Falls and here is the night in the all PG rated photos I could post!

I look forward to Laura marrying the love of her life in a few short weeks and watching them have a successful marriage in all the years to come!

Welcoming Laura to her party!

'Girls Night Out' Skor cupcakes made by my sister

What is a party without a fully stocked bar.

 Filled the party room with lots of DIY flag banners.

 I DIY'd all the girls a wine glass not only to use but to keep as a token of the fun night!

 

The ladies and I started up the day of fun with high tea at the {Queen Charlotte Tea Room}.  It was most definitly a high light of the day.  We had great conversation and all got to know each other better.

 Some of the ladies getting ready for the night out!

Laura in her shirt that got A LOT more signatures on it before the end of the night!

Congrats again Laura.  I do hope you had a great time and I cannot wait until your wedding!
And to all the ladies, thanks for making it all that more fun!
