I know, I know… it’s Thursday. Pretend it’s yesterday and enjoy these fantastic Gocco tips submitted by DIY Bride Miranda. If you’re unfamiliar with the Gocco, it’s a small screenpriting machine from Japan.

I’ve been reading wedding blogs compulsively for months now as I’ve been planning my April wedding. I’ve learned so much and found [...]

Last week I introduced you to the basics of heat embossing. Thank you to everyone who added questions and tips in the comments. That was very cool!
Today I’m going expand your embossing repertoire with 3 different ways to use the embossing skills you learned last week. Using 4 different products, we’ll create some really beautiful [...]

{Workshop Wednesday is a new weekly feature at DIY Bride. Every Wednesday, I’ll be presenting a new technique to help you create some crafty wedding goodness.}
That I am a rubber stamping fiend should come of no surprise to long-time DIY Bride friends. I’ve professed my undying love for it many times in these pages. Part [...]

Hi DIYers,
A couple of reader questions have come in that I can’t fully answer and I thought it’d be best to turn this over to you, the ever-resourceful DIY Bride community.

Mary is looking for custom embossers and custom stamps. I know Wilshire Graphic Press comes highly recommended for embossers. Any others you can suggest? [...]

The utterly wonderful Ann, a DIY Bride, has graciously shared her lovely DIY guest book project with us. Originally inspired by a Martha project, Ann has developed a simplified version that costs about $8.00 to make.

One of my favorite craft projects is coming up with favor and gift packaging. (I especially love the holidays just because I can make and wrap boxes. It’s sick, I know.)

It’s project day!
Vintage crafts and craft techniques are rocking my holiday gift-giving world this year. I’ve been having fun resurrecting things I made as a not-so-crafty kid and giving them a modern update.
Just in time for holiday gift-giving I rediscovered baking bread in a glass jar and thought that it’d make an awesomely fun wedding [...]

While I personally love creating small treat boxes I don’t post many here because I know that, for most couples, cutting out and assembling 100+ boxes can be a real drag. In most cases it’s just easier to buy pre-assembled boxes.
When I can share treat packaging that requires little cutting and easy assembly, I’m all [...]

Flowers, schmowers. Who needs ‘em when you can create a stunning Fall bouquet out of leaves?

I’m always on the lookout for things to make non-traditional bouquets out of. A while ago, I was heavily into crystal bouquets. This season, I’m all about foliage. Beautiful, rustic, cheap, fake foliage.

The fun and fabulous folks at 365Halloween have posted this cool tutorial for making pumpkin picture holders out of Fimo clay. While I think they’re great for pictures, they’d be even cooler used as place card holders. And, even if you’re not into the pumpkin thing, the techniques you learn can be translated into other [...]
