The DIY you never did...

Lynnie, on August 19, 2017 at 10:05 Posted in DIY 0 8

Maybe you realized you stink at woodworking and that making your own ring box was a bad idea. Maybe you ran out of time. Maybe it got more expensive than you thought!

What projects did you plan to DIY and then not do? Did you scrap the idea altogether? Did you order/buy it instead? Tell me all about your abandoned DIY dreams and disasters Smiley tongue

    I'm helping my cousin with the head table decorations, she has been a floral designer for 30 years and I have complete confidence in her and that I won't make them look horrible lol. She has had a pretty bad injury with her hands and can't do to much, but she will guide me. They are pretty simple.

    I've decided to not make my own wedding cake. I'm getting to overworked now so I'll just pick one up.

    We planned on buying tulle and making our own pew bows, ended up scrapping that idea because the tulle was so sparkly and glitter was falling all over the place and we couldn't make the bows to save our life!

    We had intended to make a bar sign out of beer bottle caps but couldn't really fiure out a good way of doing and then someone found something else we liked so we went with that. I was also going to make my own bouquets but opted to buy those to save the stress level.

    I am incapable of anything DIY. The only thing I did myself was buy fake vines from Michaels and wrapped them sobthey would fit around our centerpieces, it took me like half an hour lol. The onltnother DIY thing is our seating chart. My sister found an old window frame and my dad painted it and sanded it for me. So I didn't even do that myself lol. My dad was also going to make the wooden table numbers but buying them off Etsy came to the same price so I just bought them there.
    I guess it's less stressful this way hahah

    I pretty much did everything myself! but I made a massive carbon that I just didn't like so bought a bird cage instead. I originally wanted a bird cage but didn't want to spend the money.. only to spend the money anyways.
