{diy} rsvp tracking

how clever is this idea for {rsvp} tracking. i found this great idea from {c(oi)n:purse blog}. the bride used postcards {rsvps} and she was worried that some were going to be illegible so she marked them with an inkless pen. when the postcards were returned she simply used a black-light pen to read the hidden message.

{now you see it}

{now you don't}   amazing!!!!

{tutorial} mini bulb stars

so this is my first tutorial and i really hope it's not a huge disaster. so a few weeks ago i was putting up my christmas lights and like every other year i end up with burned out string lights so this year it was these crystalish sting lights. well i was about to trash them when it hit me to do something with them...anything!!.  so i was totally inspired by these glass stars from {pottery barn}. So here it goes.....

{material needed}

low temperature glue gun

wire cutters

14 burned out bulbs {removed from string} for each star

1. grab bulb {omg can you tell it's my first tutorial ...ok let's focus}

2. remove and dispose of plastic green cap and with wire cutters cut bulb wires

3. now repeat steps 1 & 2 until you have 14 bulbs cut and ready to be glued

glue 4 bulbs in a shape of a cross {use tiny dots of glue on each end....there is no need for glue overload}

keep gluing bulbs in the openings

drum roll please...here are the complete stars ... aren't there precious?

so i'm sooo happy with my little craft that I decided to make star ornaments.

{material needed}

8 in. ribbon

{mini bulb star}

toothpick

tie a knot on the ribbon. dab a small dot of glue in a opening of the {mini star} and using the tooth press the ribbon and hold for a few seconds. voilà a mini bulb star ornament.

{other uses for these mini bulb stars}
