Diamondpooch's DIY thread....bound to be long :)

So, I finished a couple DIY projects. Yesterday I got my Keycard/Tip holders done. I bought the ID/Badge holders from Ebay along with the lanyards. I got 50 of each for $18. Pretty cheap. I printed the inserts on white 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock.

I don't know how to post a template link, but I borrowed mine from another BDW poster! Thanks!!!

Sorry the pics aren't that great!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also finished my OOT tags. I printed the top part on white cardstock and glued (with a glue stick) them onto 3 x 3 squares of navy cardstock. I punched a hole in the corner with a 1/8" hole punch and threaded the ribbon through.

Finished my programs!!! I used all cardstock and cut them to my measured sizes with a guillotine. Such a time saver. If you are planning on cutting a large amount of paper/cardstock, splurge on one of these as they cut down time and also make crisp edges. The adhesive I used was a Dotto spool. I tried Zotts and also a glue stick and this Dotto thing worked awesome! It dispenses much like the white out that rolls out like tape, but it works fantastic! I ordered the fan sticks from ebay. Everything else came from Michaels. You may not be able to tell from the pics, but the background color is navy.

 

Here is the finished product leaning up against a candle.

I used the leftover materials to make my place cards. Not sure how much I like the handwritten names yet. I may switch it to stamped names. I've not written on all of them yet.

I decided I'm not using those place cards. Don't like them one bit. So, I ordered white finger starfish and I'm going to attach a name strip to the starfish with navy ribbon and place them all in a sand filled dish at the wedding so they will stand up straight. I'll post a pic of the starfish when I'm done with them.
