I somehow managed to finagle the boys to help with wedding crafts the other weekend. It must have been the homemade Irish Coffees and IPA's I promised them :)
We had two main projects. First: stenciling the goodie bags for the hotel guests. And second: stamping the wedding favor cookie bags.
My brother, the groom to be, handmade the stencil of an oak tree and traced it onto a plastic sheet. Using an xacto knife, he cut the tree out, and we were able to spray the canvas bags. We tried using fabric paint, but honestly, regular spray paint works best. It goes on evenly and doesn't tend to run. If trying this yourself, make sure you have a big enough stencil so the residual spray paint doesn't ruin the rest of the bag. These gift bags are going to be perfect in each hotel room with water, snacks, and general information regarding the destination.
For the cookie bags, we used an oak tree stamp and paper pastry bags that can be found at any craft store. The wedding will be held at a winery with a huge tree on the property so we wanted to tie it all together. The invitations and save the dates also have a giant tree on them :)
Finished project pictures to follow :)
