Do It Yourself, or DIY, wedding projects allow you to create your own personalized favors and touches that can be applied in any way you can imagine on your special day, for a shower, a party or whenever. All you need are some basic items and a little creativity.
This Do It Yourself Wedding Cake Decor is a very simple and fun project that requires few materials. Use a plain white cake as a canvas for decorations such as these hand-crafted blooming rosettes. We baked tiny french cakes and placed our citrus hued paper flowers atop for extra appeal. We added ornaments to the cakes by wrapping each in a bold orange ribbon. Use your own special colors. Great for wedding guests or showers. See more clever do-it-yourself wedding projects here.
1. Scissors
2. Card stock (a variety of shades is nice)
3. A Pencil
4. Ribbon (for added decor)
1. Lightly trace a spiral pattern on a 5″x5″ piece of card stock.
2. Cut out the spiral along its lines.
3. Simply roll the spiral from the outside until it forms a rosette and pull away the edges to make the rosette “bloom”.
4. Cut out leaves for the rosette using green card stock.
