DIY Bride™

Fab Finds Friday is a weekly showcase of some of the fabulous resources available to the wedding community. This week’s wedding goodness comes to you from M&M’s.

If you’re inclined to indulge your most narcissistic fantasies on your wedding day, M&M’s has something sweet in store for you!

You’ve probably known about custom M&M’s candies where you can place nearly any text on them for a while. Now M&M’s has gone craaaaazy with candy printing technology that allows you to place pictures on their yummy little candies. I know! Genius!

I’m thinking that, in place of a photo, you could substitute a great graphic – like your monogram or custom logo – for an ultra-cool, ultra-customized favor. Neat!

Do check out the site and their printing “dos and don’ts” page before you buy. See the M&M’s site here.

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.

We’re going to bake cupcakes in glass jars! It’s perfectly safe and the jar serves double duty as a baking vessel and ultra-cool packaging.

And if you’re looking for a neat edible gift for the holidays, this is a winner.

There are lots of notes for this project so be sure to read all the way to the bottom before you attempt.
