Handmade DIY Wedding Banner + Bird Cage Tea Light

Good morning everyone. I know I have not been blogging as much lately, because I've been busy making some wedding decorations. Yes, some of you might know that my nephew's wedding is coming up in September. I have made some decorations for him and his bride to be. Besides the wedding cake centerpiece I made earlier which you can see in THIS POST, I also made them a banner and some bird cage tealight. Since this is going to be a 'bird theme' wedding, I added a couple cute little birdies that I cut out from my Cricut Expression. I also added some netting as veil for the lady bird and a little hand cut bow for the groom bird.

***Mini Birdcage Tealight***

First, let's see the little mini bird cage tealight. I made these tealight from the inspiration of this link. However, I wanted to make it glow, so I use a tealight as my base.

Here are a couple pictures to show you when the tealight is on.

***Wedding Banner***

Here is my finished banner. This banner is quite big. Each letter measured at least 4".



Here is a closer view of the first letter. First I used the bigger Martha Stewart punch to punch out the lace borders, then I used crimper to crimp the background white & DP. I also cut out the letter using Cricut as well. I embossed each of the cut out letters.

Closer view of the little birdies. I also embossed their wings too.

Picture below shows you the thickness of this banner when it folded up.


Sometimes ago, my husband found this paper box for me and the banner happened to fit in the box.

I added the left over DP to put on the cover, then added some netting to tie the box when it's closed.

Thank you for stopping by and hope you like these ideas. Hope to see you soon :o)
