Not everyone is a DIY bride. I’m not necessarily one, although I do like to scrapbook occasionally. Most of the time, I prefer to pay someone else to craft, which is why I love Etsy.
Nonetheless, I wanted to share this great DIY story, originally featured on Design*Sponge in mid-January. D*S reader, Renee headed down to her local Goodwill to pick up an array of plates and candle stick holders.

After she washed and dried all of her plates, vases and candlestick holders, she used E6000 glue to glue the vases and candlestick holders to the plates. And, as she mentions in her original post, make sure you have a well ventilated area and give them 24+ hours to dry completely plate-side down. To paint them, she purchased non-toxic spray paint from Lowes (in which the label said it was good for all household items*) to spray the platters and stands.

This is not only a great project for wedding showers, but would be a great addition to a candy or dessert buffet at a wedding reception. What sort of DIY projects have you tackled? If you would like to have your DIY wedding project featured on the blog, send me a note (brit at landlockedbride dot com)!
