How to make antiqued paper for your historical or fantasy wedding
We’re getting married next month and having a pirate-themed wedding. Any bits of paper we needed (whether invitations, signs, or treasure-hunt clues) I decided to make look old and pirate-y.
This technique would also be great for medieval, historical, steampunk, fantasy, or Victorian themes. Some of you may have done something like this at school, but this is such a simple yet effective bit of DIY I just had to share it!

Whether gift or decor, these DIY embroidered vintage photos are AWESOME
I once found an old photo album at a thrift store and I remember feeling captivated looking through the photos of those strangers’ lives. The last photo I saw was a wedding photo. Since then I’ve had a fascination with vintage photos as well as incorporating something of myself creatively, like weaving myself into the scene in a way. So I tried embroidering right onto a copy of the photo!
I could see these DIY embroidered vintage photos as a beautiful gift for an engaged couple, a creative way to display your own family wedding photos, or as lovely wedding decor and centerpieces.
