Girls Get Your Guns!

Glue guns that is! This project couldn’t get any easier, plus you’ll end up with a dazzling hairpiece to show off at the wedding or for everyday wear. All you need is a piece of cloth cut in the shape of your desired design, a hair clip or comb (available at most drug stores or arts & crafts stores), gem stickers (you can find them in craft stores, in the sticker/scrapbook aisle), and some glue.

Sweet & Simple

Another super quick and easy DIY jewelry tutorial we found on In Honor of Design’s blog, requires just 4 supplies” wood furniture buttons available at JoAnns Craft stores for $1.87 per 30 pack, some nail polish, earring flat backs available at Michaels Craft stores $2.99 for 60 pieces, and some super glue. You can paint the wooden buttons as pictured for the Kate Spade look described in IHOD's blog article, or create your own design (in your wedding colors perhaps?) and glue on the studs to complete. Voila: instant style!

DIY Recycled Necklace Head Piece

This project requires a tiny bit more skill as you will be using a needle and invisible thread instead of glue. I had a lot of bling-y necklaces from being a bridesmaid several times and selected two that looked good together. Next, I purchased a spool of silver ribbon for $1 at the Dollar Tree and cut 2 pieces the same length (enough to fit around my head and tie easily into a bow behind). Next I used a needle and thread to first sew one necklace in the middle of one ribbon (making loops around the entire length of the necklace) and then doing the same with the other. Next, I tied the ribbons (with attached necklaces) together in a knot at the end of both necklaces and then tied them around my head for a supper classy look.

Hope you find some inspiration from these fun and easy projects! Love, VW

How and When to Announce Your Engagement

Now that he’s planned all the romantic details of how to propose and has successfully swept you off your feet, your fiancé can breathe a sigh of relief. . . or can he???!? If your parents have never met your future spouse, this can be an extreme source of anxiety. As parents, siblings, and close family are usually the first to hear the news of your engagement, it would be helpful to introduce him into conversations, prompting questions and opportunities to share more about him before bringing him over for a visit. Once you are all familiar, then you can feel reassured of you happy news being received more warmly, instead of it being a complete shock.
