Real DIY Wedding Inspiration

Today’s special edition DIY project was inspired by the real wedding of Tyler and Kaylee, photographed by Ashley dePencier Photography. Their romantic, camp boho wedding was a down to earth dream come true that I know you’ll love!

Best Day Ever Wedding Cake Topper

A down right adorable DIY detail from their wedding was this bunting banner cake topper that reads “Best Day Ever”. Which is what your wedding day should be! I’m pretty sure they used fabric for their little flags, but I went a different direction and brought in Duck Tape.

SUPPLIES:

• Fiskars Non-Stick Scissors 8″
• White Duck Tape
• Twin Tip Sharpies
• Metallic Gold Twine
• 2 – 16″ BBQ Skewers
• Ruler

Start by cutting 3 pieces of twine at least 20″ long.

Cut Duck Tape Pieces

Using the awesome Fiskars Non-stick Scissors cut about a 12″ strip of white duck tape off the roll and place it sticky side up on your work surface. These scissors have a unique non-stick coating on the blades that make it possible to cut cleanly through even the stickiest materials. Then trim 3/4″ strips of tape, one for each flag. Place the strips on top of the roll until the next step.

Add The Flags

Place each strip of tape under the twine and carefully + evenly fold it over the twine… creating your bunting!

Cut The Flags

Now just trim the edges off each rectangle to form the little flags – aren’t they adorable!?

Write Your Message

Using your favorite color of Sharpie, add your letters to each flag. This can be done using any permanent marker, but I’m using the new dual-tip Sharpies so that I have extra control of my design.

Best Day Ever

Tie Your Bunting

Carefully tie each bunting strand in between two BBQ skewers. Trim the excess twine after you are done. I actually painted these skewers white beforehand which you can do as well, or you can leave them the bamboo color.

Cupcake Toppers

Folding strips of duck tape over tooth picks in the same method make awesome cupcake toppers to match!

Just adorable… and you can make yours with any saying you want!
