First picture is what I was trying to copy. Second picture is mine. I wanted to personalize it with my wedding colors and a monogram. The problem is, the hole is really hard to cut. I got some hole cutting device, but it's hard to use. I think that if I eliminate the whole and just tie the bell onto the card using a hole puncher I can condense the size of the card and move the poem up.
ETA: Project 2 Can you do a prototype of the second way so we can see both. I'm such a visual person, I would need to see it. You did a great job with this one too.

Re: I need help an opinions on my DIY projects
I made the pink bells myself.. i wish I made the white ones.. That was white I was trying to make mine look like... I don't know why though I just found the white ones for very cheap online. DIY always winds up costing more.
this is the poem on the card.....
May laughter and joy fill this room, as we toast the Bride and Groom. Take this tiny Wedding Bell, a sign of love to wish them well. If you would like them to share a wedded kiss, ring the bell for lifelong bliss.
Do you like it??

Re: I need help an opinions on my DIY projects. Updated with fixed bell card on bottom
spray paint 96 wands tonight... what was I thinking... I did 7 and quit!!
I did fix the wedding bell cards for the table.... I think they look a lot better now.. I just needed to walk away. I got this FisKars circle cutter and it was really frustrating me but I seem to have gotton it right. Now I need to go buy a hole puncher to make holes to run the ribbon through so that looks a little nicer.

You did a great job !!! Love both DIY projects!! The bell cards came out great.....just in case you didn't know they actually sell large hole punchers....I can't tell the diameter of the round hole, but I have a 2' round hole puncher.......you can borrow it if you are anywhere near Brooklyn to make it easier for you to cut the round hole. I also have a smalle hole punch for the small hole.....you really did a great job!! I need to really begin my DIY projects ASAP!!!
