Q.O.T.D 2/7/12

I know saving money where ever we can is a factor for just about all of us. I know we are all trying ot DIY a few things for our wedding.

What DIY project was the most difficult for you so far?

For me it is doing my own card box

Not really difficult but time consuming.
Save the dates - coming up with the design was time consuming and I did them on my own, not thru vista print or magnet street or any other company. Putting them together took me about 2 days.

Ribbon wands - screwing in the eye screws, cutting, and knotting ribbons takes time and is tedious, kind of boring. Multiple hours...

Unity candle - coming up with a decent design is taking time, as I'm not that creative and haven't seen one that I like yet.. I might stick to plain at this point as I think those have looked the best so far.

Ring bearer pillow and coin pillow I know will be hard if I try to salvage my mom's. I have an idea in mind but finding fabric will be a pain and also time consuming to sew them both up the way I want it done. I'm not really a sewer, and what I want needs a lot of hand sewing. I'm about to just use the pillows that were given to me as a gift but that don't really match my stuff.

Making a lawn game that will require heavy power tools, now that will be difficult but I'm not starting that project until a few months from now when the weather is good outside and I do more research on how to build them.

Programs - design and layout will be a pain. again not creative.

Wedding handkerchief embroidery - ok that is difficult. Im practicing by hand different stitches on other scraps at the moment and its not perfect, but I don't want machine embroidery either.
