Work in Progress: Lace Mason Jars Centerpieces

Mason Jars - Free
Lace - $2 per 3 yards
Twin - $1 from dollarama
Tealights - $1 for 2 from absolute dollar

I am going to look for white lace as this one is too light.





Work in Progress: Beetle Balloon Thumb Print Signature Guestbook

This one took me a while to make because Aaron said my original beetle didn't look lifelike. I'm not quite done as I need to fix the cans and figure out how to put Just Married on the license plate and affix the beetle on to a canvas. I also have not found a canvas that is big enough for 150 thumb prints and under $5.



Work in Progress: Love Bird Cake Topper

I haven't thought of what I want to do with these yet but Aaron already vetoed my first idea because he thinks glitter love birds looks like Hershey Kisses



Birds from dollarama. Cost $1.13
Paint - used existing acrylic paint from dollarama. Cost $1.13

Spray Painted Candle Holder

I bought this candle holder + candle for $5 at the dollar store near my house. It was ivory originally but the colour was fading. The acrylic crystals were cracked.





- Spray paint - Free. Took it from my sister.
- Acrylic crystals drops - $1 for a huge bag at dollarama. The connectors and connecting acrylic crystals were about $1 a strand on Ebay. One strand was used to on this candle holder (separated into 6 small strands)


Save The Date

This summer, I made a "save the date" sign for our engagement shoot. Here it is!

- Bought wood letters and numbers from the dollar store at North York Centre station
- Painted them white
- Hot glue gunned them to baby blue ribbon and baby blue lace
