Candle light wine glass

These make a great decoration for both indoors or out. It's a fun and easy way to complete any tablescape! I think I'll make some and put them at our entry way. Here is the template and the complete directions if you want to try and make some on your own.

Flower Power

What a CUTE idea! This would be a great favor for any party. I saw this on Nonpareil Magazine, an online magazine that features tons of DIY, inspiration and talented artists. Here is the DIY link so you can try this project too! I love the shape of the flower and started thinking about other ways to use it... and think it would be perfect in our studio.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Favors

We made yummy chocolate covered pretzels as favors for the baby shower and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them and they were gone so fast. We even had to hide some away. I think there's just something about salty and sweet that's really good. And surprisingly, they're so easy to make. Here's the instructions on how to create these for yourself:
1. Take plain pretzel sticks (we bought ours at a dollar store), chocolate candy melts (which you can buy here or at your local craft store) and a fairly deep bowl. 2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl by putting it in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Mix it up and if it's not completely melted, stick it back into the microwave for another 20 seconds. Keep doing this until it's smooth and runny. 3. Dip the pretzels into the chocolate and coat 3/4 of the way. While doing this, make sure you get a good layer on the pretzel.
4. Then take your topping (it can be sprinkles, chocolate shavings, mini m&m's, coconut, whatever) and sprinkle them onto the chocolate. Make sure you do this before the chocolate dries so that it will stick.
5. Place in a pan for the chocolate to dry completely and you're done!
6. To complete the favor, we bought pretzel stick bags at Michaels and stuck 1 pretzel inside each of the bags. We then tied it with ribbon and printed the tags on circle labels. They turned out so pretty! Now wasn't that easy? Try them out!

Flower Clip

I saw this beautiful hair clip on Twigs and Honey and thought it would be the hair perfect accessory. It's great for all you brides out there, but it definitely can be used for a regular-any-day look as well.

I thought I would give it a try making it through a tutorial I saw on A Feathered Nest and look how it turned out...

So simple... so chic.... I love it! Of course the one pictured on top is completely better, but this will certainly do.
