Ok, now that they’re gone…here’s another Pinterest project I finished this week. And thank you guys so much for all the great comments on my Brewers wreath! This project is even easier and I think you’ll love it.
If you’re like us, when you ordered or made your wedding invitations, you had a few extra laying around after all was said and done. We saved one for ourselves, but I still had several extra that I wasn’t quite sure what I’d use them for. Then, I saw this pin:
WHAT A CUTE IDEA! I love Christmas—hands down, my favorite holiday—and this is such a cute way to preserve the memory of our wedding invitations. I decided to make an ornament for us, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandma.
First up, here’s our invitations in all their original glory:

Go to the original blog post for the tutorial. Christy lays it all out very nicely and her tutorial is so easy to follow, I don’t feel the need to regurgitate it here. Here was my final project!
Super cute, no?
And here’s a project for those of you who aren’t quite as ready for Christmas to come as I am. I was inspired by this pin:
Again, if you’d like the tutorial, please visit the blogger’s original post. Kierste also has a great tutorial that is easy to follow. I decided instead of monograms to use some graphics I printed from the computer, and here is what I ended up with:
These are those pie pumpkins from the grocery store. I love the way they turned out, and this project was soooo easy.
Pinterest for the win! Follow me here.
I love those ornaments, I am sure my grandma would love them too!
Love the ornaments and the pumpkins! I love that you’re making all these crafts from pinterest. I wish I had more time to do the same!
I’ve seen that wedding invitation ornament and I’ve had it pinned forever – once I get my Christmas stuff out this year, it’s on the top of my to-do list! Also, your pumpkins are super cute – great job on both projects!
Super cute. I may do the ornament project. Thanks for posting such crafty ideas!
LOVE the ornament idea! So cute, I might just need to steal it for myself
Do it! So cheap and easy to do and they look awesome. It’s a great keepsake and I totally plan on making these with baby announcements and party invites in the future!
I don’t know how you did that with the ornament but I love it! Pretty AND sentimental
