Rosie can you give me a crash course on how to make luminaries? Really would like some for our wedding decorations. Thanks!

Wow this is so impressive!  You must have spent so long making everything.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Great job.  I love the luminaire.  I'm gonna have to attempt in trying them out.

Love all of your DIY projects...I'm totally addicted too! I've always loved DIY projects anyway, but seeing how much everything with the word "wedding" attached costs, plus all of the wonderful ideas on this forum, my list is seriously like 2-3 pages long! Thanks for the inspiration...I love your matchbooks...too cute!

Hi!

 

They're really simple - not fancy at all I did them in Adobe Illustrator but I'm sure it'll work in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint or even Paint.

 

Example in Word

- open landscape document

- change margins to "narrow" (or adjust so that they're very close to edge)
- insert images how you'd like (i went to http://www.weddingclipart.com/ did the free trial, downloaded the 2 images i wanted and cancelled the account)

- insert text in and around the middle are if you'd like some text

- print in colour on to vellum

- used roller adhesive or double-sided tape to tape together

- insert tealight (i used battery operated)

 

*since i'm afraid they'll blow away i'm wrapping it around a glass and putting tealight into the glass....hope that makes sense and helps. please let me know if you have any questions

[lopey99]

cant believe you did all this yourself - wonderful!

[rosieposie]

thank you

 

starting early with the DIY stuff even though i thought (at the time) was too early, was a good idea.
