A little bit of anything and everything that's part of
creating, enjoying, and living a simpler life!
creating, enjoying, and living a simpler life!
This was a super simple project to make. It was also probably one of the easiest out of all the projects I did for my daughters wedding last September. Not only that, but I also think it was one of my favorites because it used something that was just literally taking up space in my garage!
I used an old picnic basket to make this DIY Wedding Card Holder, but no worries if you don't have one. You can simply decorate just about any container. Look around and see what containers you have that might work. Do you have an old suitcase? Maybe a small trunk...be creative, think outside the box, and please share your ideas (and pictures) with me! Check out my how-to video on YouTube:
Materials purchased from Amazon (affiliate links):
- 2" Lace Ribbon - Green Leaf Ribbon - 2" Burlap - Burlap "Cards" Hanging
Note that the flowers were from the dollar store and I used hot glue to secure the burlap, lace, and flowers in place!

One of the many projects I completed in anticipation of my daughters wedding day. And what a day it was! Simply perfect in every way :-)
Check out how easy it was to make these little bags of lavender to toss as they walked back up the aisle! Watch the video below, or scroll down for a pictorial explanation. Supplies list is below the video. Note that links to products are affiliates which means that if you click on them and make a purchase I receive a small commission for directing you to their site. This does not affect the price of the item it any way. The expense to you does not change.
Supplies list:
Directions:
Gather dried lavender buds, 2.8" x 3.5" organza bags, and a basket.
Use a 1/4 measuring cup and a funnel.
Don't fill the measuring cup all the way....
Funnel the lavender into the bags. Of course you don't need the funnel, but I had less mess this way.
Pull the strings closed, however DO NOT tie them. If you tie them they are nearly impossible to re-open.
I made 200 and they fit great in a nice large basket!
I used a simple chalk sign. We drilled two holes so we could tie it to the basket.
Ready for the big day!
They worked out beautifully. If you watch the YouTube video at the top of this post you can see a video clip of the lavender being tossed at the happy couple :-)

Hi there! I'm Kathie, the author behind Creating A Simpler Life blog. I'm excited to share our longterm projects (and planning) toward building our future retirement homestead in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. In the meantime I will be sharing all the other little things we do that are part of creating our simpler life!
