My cousin got married this weekend. Congrats Becca and Joe!
I made this for them as a wedding gift. It makes a great centerpiece and memory.
Things You Will Need:
Ruler
Pencil
Exacto knife
Desired Text
A clear bottle
A color printer
Card stock paper
Step 1:
Get together some text. I used first Corinthians, lyrics from their wedding song, the location of the wedding, their names, etc. use words that will mean something to them.
Step 2:
Print out your text. Using a ruler and exacto knife, cut between the text so you have many lines. I wrote over important text with a pink pen for emphasis. You can use a color printer to color the text if you wish.
Step 3:
Wrap the line of text around the pencil in a swirling fashion.
Step 4:
Place all of your swirly text into your glass bottle and shake it up.
Ta Daaa! A lovely memory. You could go all out and write lovey dovey sentiments all over the bottle and add pretty ribbons if you would like. I prefer the bottle as it is. Enjoy!
COMPLETELY off topic, but i like the nail art too
Haha thanks, I did them for my cousin’s wedding. It matched my bridesmaid dress!
What a Creative Idea – love it – thanks for sharing! Happy Monday:)
Thanks!
I came across your blog today and wanted to tell you I am a fan! I am the student that only received an “A” in art class because the teacher felt bad about spoiling my report card…..so, not my strong point. I have recently decided that in my second adulthood one of the areas I am going to concentrate on improving is my creativity…..and your posts give me encouragement because I believe I can actually create some of these! Thank you.
That is so sweet of you! I’m glad my blog gives you encouragement I believe you can create anything you set your mind to. I would love to see some of the things you create
please share with me when you finish.
Congratulations to them… This is great idea, fascinated me dear Megan. Thank you, love, nia
Thanks Nia!
