make your own cufflinks

click pic for link

saw this on etsy and thought how simple it would be to make your own cufflinks - a scrabble tile, paper or fabric to cover, epoxy glue, and cufflink findings (found some on ebay for 99p!)

actually you could use anything flat and doesnt have to be square - i could cover them in the same fabric as the ties. woohoo more things to make!

confetti

we have to have real flower confetti at Plas and there is some lovely ideas here

the best sweetie ever

personalised m&m's - genius
get them here

they cost a bit so maybe instead of a jar of them on the candy buffet we could use them to top the cupcakes?

drink me! Eat me!

what about a mini glass bottle saying drink me and a favour box with choc truffles or something saying eat me at each place setting?

£31.76 for 100 incl caps from here

Bulkeley Hotel

We have finally found a reception venue. So excited its bloody gorgeous we have a great buffet all within budget I'm amazed its done.

I've been buying vintage tea cups and saucers as and when i see them in charity shops, car boots and antique shops and now i'm ready to make 1 element of the table centres - tea cup candles. I thought the idea was mine and inspired by the whole alice/tea party theme and vintage floral patterns in the fabrics i want and also by an episode of Kirstie's homemade home but it seems i must have already seen it somewhere coz there's a few mentions of them out there on the world wide web. Here for example
this one pictured is one you can buy ready made (and therefore no fun at all lol!) for a staggering £22!!! click pic for link.

i have 8 teacups and saucers all similar to this and mismatched and none cost me more than £2 and some cost 50p! the ingredients to make the candle work out about £1 a cup. Hardly worth the retail value of £22! Cant wait to get started - i've sourced an online company for the candle making supplies but i want to ring around a few local places tomorrow to see if they have anything. I'd rather support local businesses if i can plus then i can avoid the delivery charge lol!

OMG
