On Oscar night, I was inspired to take on some DIY projects. Guitar Fred and I headed to Michael's. I bought him a 3-D wooden to keep him busy while I glittered photo frames and played around with the birdcage. More pics to come!
What I did:
I wanted to glam up the $1 frames I had bought from Target in early January, so I used Martha Stewart's glitter to make it sparkle. Last week, I had purchased a few hundred blank teal pricetags for only 85 cents total! I stamped the tags with our initials in teal embossing ink and slipped one into the birdcage I bought at TJ Maxx for $7.99. I'll probably end up using the tags to go with our wedding favors. Inside the birdcage is a bird candle ($1 from Smith and Hawken) next to a mason jar with mini daffodils and Spanish moss.
Hmm...so what should I use as a table number inside the frame? Regular numbers or perhaps a fun photo like this from Brooklyn Bride?

I love the fun photo idea! We’re using postcards of California cities as our table names.
awesome idea for the birdcage! i recently got one from the east bay depot for creative reuse, and I wasn' t sure what to do with it.
Go with the photos!
You found some GREAT deals, MS glitter is so awesome! I like the photos as table numbers, so cute!
Hey...that's my husband and I in the photos! Go with the pictures. I think it's so much more fun and memorable. :)
Hi Sunray, so nice to meet the inspiration!! Thanks for stopping by. What did you do with the photos afterwards? Scrapbook?
ooh, i'm just playing catch-up on your blog (it's been a crazy month) and i'm getting so much inspiration. i love the idea of the polaroids as table numbers, and the way you glammed up your target frames is awesome!
Hi Vera! Haven't done anything with them yet. We have a couple of them sitting on our desk. :)
Thanks, Giovanna. Sunray -- sounds like that's the perfect way to display those photos. A reminder everyday, right?
