How to make wedding accessories with your own hands?

A wedding is a solemn and long-awaited event for lovers. It is important to treat with special trepidation not only the general plan of the event, but also the little things that create the main flavor of the celebration. Wedding agencies and stewards will gladly help you with the organization of the holiday and its decoration. But to make beautiful gizmos with your own hands with tenderness and care is much more interesting.

Creating a wedding accessory such as a pillow for rings will not take you much time. Moreover, now there are a huge number of workshops on creating a variety of handmade accessories. You need to purchase a small piece of white satin, white beads, a satin ribbon 1 cm wide, lace 5 cm wide, synthetic winterizer or synthetic winterizer at a needlework store. The color of the ribbons may be white or any suitable.

First you need to make the pillow itself measuring 10 by 10 cm:

• cut two squares from a white satin with a side of 12 cm (2 cm - allowances for seams);
• we fold the squares with each other with the front side of the material inward;
• sweep blanks or fix with pins to avoid slipping of the material when stitching;
• we grind the product, taking into account 2 cm seam allowances, leaving a small "window";
• we turn the product on the front side and stuff it with padding polyester;
• tuck the free edges of the “window” and gently sew with hidden stitches.

Now the most interesting thing is decoration:

• lace we sew one side of the pillow;
• we form two bows from a tape 1 cm wide, for this we cut two pieces of tape 4 and 6 cm long, each bend inward with the ends to the middle of the segment, fix with stitches;
• we sew the prepared ribbons to each other on the pillow;
• decorate the middle of the bows with white beads.

For these bows wedding rings of the newlyweds will be attached.

To create such a pillow you will need:

• a piece of white material measuring 17 by 17 cm (it is better to use velvet or linen, so the lace will not slip);
• blue and white satin ribbons 5 and 3 cm wide, respectively;
• thin lace of white color;
• blue lace 3 cm wide;
• blue and white beads.

We begin to create pads for wedding rings:

• cut two squares from the material with a side of 17 cm, leave allowances for seams of 2 cm on each side;
• we prepare two segments of blue lace of 17 cm, one segment of a blue ribbon 17 cm long, one segment of a white ribbon 29.5 cm;
• to the front side of one of the blanks of the square we sweep the blue ribbon, placing it in the center;
• over the blue ribbon we sweep the white;
• lace is placed with an overlap of 0.5 cm on a blue ribbon;
• we grind ribbons and lace with a base;
• we fold the blanks of the pillow with the front side of the material inward and grind it taking into account the allowance for seams of 2 cm, leaving a free part of the edge for turning the product on the front side;
• using an ordinary pencil, we turn the resulting “pillowcase” onto the front side;
• We fill with padding polyester and gently close the free edge with hidden stitches.

Now let's move on to the most interesting part of creating a pillow:

• fold the white ribbon in the center and sew;
• put two bows with edges 4 and 3 cm long from the free loop of the tape;
• in the center we sew a blue bead and a white lace;
• draw a blue bead around the edge with white pearls.

The first impression of the nature of the wedding comes when you receive an invitation. This is an element of the upcoming celebration, which should not only inform about the place, date and time of the holiday, but also immerse guests in its atmosphere. Invitations can be very diverse: in a vintage or classic style, with photographs of the newlyweds, in the form of cases, bundles and cards decorated with flowers and lace. This list goes on and on.

Invitations made independently will certainly appreciate your guests as a sign of respect and the importance of their presence at the upcoming holiday. Consider several options for invitations that you can make yourself.

To create such invitations do not require special skills. You will need: A4 paper, five tea bags, matches or a lighter, color satin ribbon.

The process of making an invitation is as follows:

• brew 5 tea bags in 250 ml of boiling water and let it brew;
• pour the finished tea leaves into a mold or a deep tray;
• the sheets in turn are completely dipped into the liquid, removed, allowed to drain, suspended until completely dry;
• under the flame of fire we process the edges of the sheets (be careful and observe safety precautions!);
• we put the finished sheets in the printer and print the invitation text (take into account the indentation, because the length and width of the sheets will decrease);
• we turn the sheets into a tube, wrap with a satin ribbon, and fix with a bow.

This type of invitation immediately sets the romantic and tender nature of the wedding. Accessories are also simple in execution, but this does not detract from their sophistication.

To make invitations we need:

• cardboard with a density of 150 g / sq. m (color and texture of the canvas can be varied);
• thin lace;
• adhesive rhinestones;
• satin ribbon 1 cm wide;
• glue (necessarily transparent), Moment-Crystal is perfect;
• White paper.

Production Algorithm:

• cut a rectangle 12 cm wide and 24 cm long;
• bend in half, aligning the corners;
• glue a piece of lace 12 cm long on the front side of the invitation, departing from the bottom edge of 2 cm;
• with sharp scissors we trim the edges;
• at a section of a satin ribbon with a length of 13 cm, we burn the edges with fire, this will help to avoid splitting of the ribbon during operation;
• glue the tape to the middle of the lace, bending the edges inward by 0.5 cm on both sides;
• we form a bow from a cut of a tape 12 cm long;
• glue the bow and decorate it with rhinestones;
• from white paper, cut out a square with a side of 11 cm, paste it into the invitation, observing the indentation from the edge of 0.5 cm, you can enter the text yourself or print it in advance.

It's no secret that it is customary to give banknotes at weddings. Such a gift is practical for both the guest and the newlyweds. Therefore, an integral attribute of a modern wedding is a money box. The number of ready-made boxes offered is striking in its variety: wooden with laser cutting, in the form of chests and caskets, decorated with lace, crystals, flowers, etc.

It’s not at all necessary to spend money on the purchase of a finished wedding accessory. To make a money box, figuratively resembling a pyramid or a multi-layer cake, you will need:

• three boxes of different volumes of the same shape;
• paper for decoration and creativity;
• satin ribbons 5 cm wide;
• rhinestones and crystals on a glue basis;
• beads;
• transparent glue.

During creative work, you must remember to be careful. The cleaner and more painstaking the work will be done, the more aesthetic the final result will look.

• We cut a rectangular hole in the lid of a medium-sized box with a clerical knife.
• The surface of each of the three boxes from the outside is glued with decoration paper, including their lids.
• We wrap the boxes with satin ribbon, fix with glue. On the large and small boxes, we tie the edges of the ribbons with a bow.
• Glue rhinestones to the center of the formed bows.
• In the central part of the ribbon on the middle box we glue an inscription with the names of the newlyweds and the date of the celebration. We decorate the inscription with crystals on the edge.
• Fold the boxes with a pyramid and glue to each other.

An important detail of the preparation for the wedding is the design of the motorcade. The decoration of cars reflects the overall flavor and the idea of ​​celebration. First you need to decide what class of cars will be, what color, and also in what quantity.

For example, old cars by themselves carry the spirit of shocking and elegance, so they do not require additional and vibrant scenery. Ordinary cars that people use in everyday life to move around can be safely decorated with ribbons, lace, natural or artificial flowers. Top-class cars, SUVs or crossovers are best decorated in a restrained style of minimalism with compositions from fresh flowers.

For the design of cars, you can resort to the help of professionals: florists, companies for organizing holidays, or you can decorate them yourself. Floral decorations are always popular. You can make a path of artificial flowers by originally twisting their stems. You can place such a decoration along the hood of the car or diagonally. Most importantly, the composition should be decorated in the general style of the holiday.

To complete them, you will need a satin ribbon, organza ribbon and a flower bud.Having formed an arbitrary bow of two ribbons, we fix the bud in its base with a glue gun. The accessory is ready!

It is much easier to make a decoration of satin ribbons, decorating it with bows. For reliable fastening of the tape to the hood of the car, elastic is sewn to its ends. Additionally, the accessory can be fixed with tape to avoid slipping.

It is important to consider the color of the transport. On dark cars, decorative elements look great in light beige shades. Bright compositions contrast excellently with light cars. It should be taken into account and taken into account that the entire motorcade should be decorated in the same style and color scheme.
