I took the top photo at Dirt, a charming and innovative florist on North Bishop Avenue in Dallas. The owner really didn't like me taking this picture, probably for fear that I would copy this cute idea. Her intuition was correct... Above is my interpretation of a tin can planter, which cost way less than $28 to make.

DIY: Streamer Wand Tutorial

These streamer wands were my very first wedding project. Choosing the ribbons helped me decide on our color scheme early on and things started to fall into place from there. Over the Moon Ribbons was a amazing source for ribbons, with a wide range of colors and styles. After studying various tutorials online, I decided that this one seemed the easiest and the quickest. Most of the 150 wands were completed in one night with good friends, pizza and a couple bottles of wine. 

How to Make Streamer Wands: 

Materials:

•  3/8" Ribbons, cut to 36" long (I used 5 per wand)
•  12" Wooden Dowels
•  1-1/16" Brass Screw Eyes
•  Thumbtack
•  Hammer 
•  Pliers
•  Small sharp scissors

1.  Make a hole. Gently tap the thumbtack with a hammer to start a hole at one end of the wooden dowel. This step will make attaching the screw eye much easier.

2.  Insert the screw eye in the hole you just made. A plier will come in handy when your hands start to get tired.

3.  Neatly stack the ribbons and thread them through the screw eye opening.

4.  Loop the ribbons and pull them through to make a knot.

5.  Pull ribbons taught to fasten the knot.

6.  Wave your wand and celebrate this moment!
