One more DIY project completed

After our one day wonder trip, I picked up some new baskets on clearance at Micheal's (can you shop there too much?) to hold them.

I made little size tags, similar to the tags on the front of our save the dates and our favor boxes, cut them out and attached them to cardstock...


tied them to each pair of flip flops...


and then stuffed (and I do mean stuffed) them into the baskets. All but 4 pairs were able to fit in the two baskets.


I know flip flops aren't for everyone, or every bride to have at their wedding, but hopefully someone will be able to get some use out of these!

Did you find that in different aspects of your wedding planning, that your colors weren't exactly the same? Did you let it bother you? I'm actually glad we're having different, but similar shades of blue and green throughout the wedding.

adorable! I think that different shades are fine, as long as they aren't TOO different...like a olive green would look kind of funky. I like it too that you have different shades. I hope that my colors will be all colors that I like, but don't necessarily have to be the exact same.

These are super cute. I love that you added the tags as a personal touch. The different colors doesn't bother me at all either.

Eleven - That's what I was thinking! As long as it's not a funky shade I wasn't going to get bent out of shape if they weren't all exact matches.

Ms. Teacher - Thanks!! I thought the tags would help anyone looking for a pair.
