Cake Topper

       

So I bought this for $7 from theknot.com and when it arrived, I wasn't fully in love with it, so I added some 'Bling'

Below are a few pictures of the process.

Here's the finished product! This is much better, more of what I was looking for! Although in the picture the jewels look pink, they're actually red and clear.

  

Coffee Filter Roses

Here's the start with a brown filter, later to be painted red w/ black tips

Here's a bouquet of white filters not yet painted.

After painting them with water colors

Below are the finished product, a friend is getting married this weekend so I made her bouquet!

Hope she loves it!

Here's a picture of the bride holding them! She loved them and I am glad to have been a part in her special day!

This is a brown filter, with white primer and then painted red and then added the black tips, very time consuming, not sure it's worth the effort like the bouquet, as I was hoping to make pomanders out of them but I think I can find them for cheaper.  

I bought a red pomander from Orientaltrading.com for around $7, I am going to play around with it and see if I can paint it or change the ribbon over to black to make it fit in better with my color scheme.

As of now, I am planning on making my toss bouquet out of these, so stay tuned! More to come!
