Planning a Party?

With holidays around the corner, there is plenty to celebrate! To help spark some ideas of your own, here are ways customers have used wire card holders at their parties:

Adysen's birthday Celebration - wire card holders

These photos are from 2-year old Adysen's birthday party. Whatever the event you're celebrating, wire card and photo holders can add some fun decoration or direction for your guests.

If you’re featuring a main dish, desserts, or drinks as a theme to your party, consider decorating your table with buffet labels for the variety of the featured refreshment. For example, if you’re having a hot chocolate party, label peppermint hot chocolate, vanilla hot chocolate, and caramel and honey hot chocolates, etc. Or if you’re having pies for dessert label the banana cream pie, the pumpkin pie, the pecan pie, etc.

Homemade Icecream Labels - wirecardholders.com

These star and heart card holders were used to label the homemade ice creams offered at Adysen's Party. Decorate your wedding or holiday party buffet table with labels and wire card holders for the dishes and desserts you offer.

If you have photos of ways you’ve decorated events, parties, and weddings or  just around the house using wire card/photo holders from us, share them with us! E-mail your photos to jen@wirecardholder.com and you could be featured on our blog!

DIY: Handmade Ribbon Wedding Flowers

Unique Handmade, Handcrafted boutineers and wedding flowers Tutorial - Wire Home Decor Weddings

Learn how to make these handcrafted flowers for your wedding to add your own unique touch to your wedding ceremony and celebration!

Here’s a fun do-it-yourself project for any special event that can save you a little money and add an additional unique handcrafted touch to your wedding. Consider it for a great bachelorette party activity idea or as a project for bonding with your future mom and sister-in-laws!

Unique Handmade, Handcrafted boutineers and wedding flowers Tutorial - Wire Home Decor Weddings

Use ribbons, beads, and feathers that correspond with your wedding colors and the outfits you've picked for your groomsmen and bridemaids.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Tools: scissors, hot glue gun
  • Materials: ribbon, feathers, beads, felt, and your choice of clip for however you decide to incorporate your flowers,whether it be a hair clip, a boutonnière pin, headband, clasp, etc.
Unique Handmade, Handcrafted boutineers and wedding flowers Tutorial - Wire Home Decor Weddings

(1) Cut a small circle from your felt. (2) Using the hot glue gun, adhere your feathers to the felt in a circle, each pointing outward. (3) Next, create a few loops with your decorative ribbon to your liking. and glue them to the back of your feathers. (4) Flip your flower so that the felt piece is facing you, and glue your beads over the felt. (If you buy a strand of beads, keep them on the string while you place them into the hot glue and snip the ends once the beads are in place. Otherwise, you can sprinkle the beads to cover the glue and shake the excess from the flower.)

Now, depending on how you’ll be using your flower, the final step is to glue it to the clip of your choice or grab a boutonnière pin to stick it with. If you’re using a hair pin or plastic/metal headband, consider wrapping the pin or band in ribbon to created a more finished look.

And, since this is more of a girly flower, I’ve also included instructions for this simple boutonnière.

Unique Handmade, Handcrafted boutineers and wedding flowers Tutorial - Wire Home Decor Weddings

(1) Shape your ribbon into an accordion and glue the loops in place. (2) Add some small detail with a line of beads. (3) incorporate the tips of 2-4 feathers behind the ribbon (4) and add a little accent ribbon to complete the flower.

Note: After reading through my suggestions, maybe they will spark some ideas of your own. Get creative! Use whatever materials you think would look good! You’re definitely not limited to the materials I suggest.

And don’t forget! Another amazing handmade touch you can add to your celebration are wire card holders from Wire Home Decor.
