They are so cool! Really different and funky! I think they are really creative! I am impressed (and a wee small bit jealous!!) :-)

That's lovely! You've done a brilliant job! I want to see the white ones too (when you've made them!)

I don't really get the comment that you could have got flowers cheaper... not very helpful and a bit of a back-handed insult! These are longer lasting and will stick in your guest's memories more than flowers will, you could sell them afterwards and more than make your money back! Get yourself on Etsy with them, you'll do really well!

Thanks Birdie, I have just about finished a white one so I will add a picture shortly Etsy would be a good idea, I love that website!

I hadnt even thought of pew ends.

I think they look fab, very time consuming though i imagine.

Thank you, I think they probably took an hour or two to make one, I managed to get hold of some 'wire twisters' which have made it a much quicker, and easier to do x

Really, really nice!!! Well done!
How many of those do you have to make though?!!

Thanks beks, there are 8 pew ends in the church, so I was hoping to make 8, but I am only going to make 4 now.. I dOn't have enough buttons to make 8, and I thought I would just put the hearts and a big ribbon bow on the other pews

Here's the white one that I've made.. I don't have any ribbon yet to add to the top, which is why I have missed that part off! x



To match my bouquet:

Lovely! What other crafty bits have you made? I love looking at things people make!

Well at the minute, I'm in the middle of making invitations - it's taking so long! But the fun bit is that I get to teabag them and then I'm wrapping them all up with brown paper and string haha I attempted button necklaces for the bridesmaids, but they were much harder than I thought, and I didn't want them falling apart so I gave up!

Once invitations are complete, I plan on making something a bit different to display the table names (maybe on records), and then the table plan etc. All my time goes on the invites at the minute, I'll probably be posting other ideas when they are completed x

:eek::eek::eek: :rotfl:

Love the pew ends though, they're definately something I'd like - sort of shabby chic/vintagey/crafty goodness :rotfl:And your bouquet is amazing!

I dont see how buttons can be more expensive than a overpriced fresh flower arrangement personally? Very odd comment considering she wanted her bridesmaids to wet themselves with excitment over her wedding dress and was disappointed when they didnt, and its not even like she spent hours making said wedding dress - crldnll at least has a right to be proud of the pew ends, given the time and effort spent making them! They are lovely, well done crafty you!
