DIY Shoe Bags on Twig & Thistle

Abby Larson — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:00:37 +0000

You guys all know how I feel about Kathleen of Twig & Thistle. She is one of my all time favorite people so it’s no wonder that I stalk her blog daily. When I spotted these DIY Shoe Bags that she is featuring by Betz White that were originally seen on Creature Comforts (that was a mouthful), I did a little happy dance.

Made using thrifted sheets, these would be so cute gifted to your maids with a pair of fabulous shoes tucked inside! So many of you want your girls’ shoes to match so what better way to do quality control than to pick them out yourself. SUCH a cute idea.

DIY From Around the Blogs

In honor of Kathleen’s first DIY project as contributing editor, we are featuring more brilliant DIY projects from around the web today! The first, a gorgeous strand of DIY flower garland, featured on one of my favorite blogs, Creature Comforts…

Here are the step-by-step pictures…

Remember that when you are looking at a DIY project, the design is just a starting off point. You can bring in your own colors, styles and textures and completely change the look…using only the concept as your inspiration!

For complete instructions on these pretty flower garlands, check out Creature Comforts post right here!

We’ve done it before and it’s been WAY too long. Seriously too long. So, it’s time for another Wedding Do-It-Yourself Contest! Whether it’s a gorgeous invitation, a perfect favor or just about anything else that made (or is going to make) your wedding that much more unique…we want to see it!

This insanely fabulous DIY project was crafted by the OH (emphasizing the OH)-so-fabulous Ez of Creature Comforts…

For the complete instructions on these brilliant custom candy bars, check out Creature Comforts. I promise, it’s worth the trip…Ez’s blog is filled with adorable DIY projects (including free templates and instructions…love that), great craft finds, wardrobe inspirations and so so much more.

Okay, back to the contest! All we need is a series of how-to photographs sent as jpeg attachments, along with step-by-step instructions as to how to complete the project (in the body of the email). All images need to be at least 600 pixels across. If you don’t have step-by-step photographs, just send the end result! Email entries to abby@stylemepretty.com.

I am going to choose my favorites to go up on the blog and will choose a winner with the help of a panel of guest judges. All entries must be received by October 15th. We’ll announce the prize a little later in the week.

If you have questions, just leave a comment and I will make sure to answer!
