Sooooo Ive been toying with the idea of getting a new tattoo! The question now is what and where. I want something along the lines of scissors because there such a big part of my life. Between cutting hair, sewing, and crafting I use them everyday. But i didn't just want a boring pair, I wanted them to be vintage. A lot of vintage scissors are really ugly... so I decided to draw my own.

Soooo i finally finished my purse for this wedding and it was definitely very frustrating. I started it over probably 5 times. I struggled on how to make this because i had so many ideas and there were so many things i wanted to do i couldn't decide on just one so here it is

So here, as the next portion of the DIY wedding guest, is my necklace! its completely made out of paper and craft glue. except for the chain. obviously. 

As promised, here here is the first complete item for the DIY wedding guest

Heres the recipe we've been using....

Oh my god, its been forever since I've posted. Id like to say its because vie been busy but I really haven't.  Anthony and  I moved from the 3rd floor of the house were in to the basement but thats about it. Anyway! There are a few exciting things I'll have to share in the next few weeks... Im going to a wedding, so I'm starting a post series I'm calling DIY wedding guest. I know everyone has seen a DIY wedding because weddings can get expensive, but being a guest at a wedding also get expensive. Between a dress, shoes, jewelry, present, card, and travel they can get expensive. In the next 2 weeks up until this wedding Im going to make....
