{Craft Workshop} The DIY Bride


Have you ever spent sleepless nights because of excessive excitement your heart feels like jumping out of your body to strut a silly dance and run like crazy?!? This pretty much describes my nocturnal activities lately.

Today, I can finally holler with exhilaration and share with you what has been keeping me up late at night - I'll be hosting another workshop on DIY crafts!!! This time I'll be focusing on crafts that will be helpful to brides who'd like to personalize details in their weddings. I will be teaching fabric, yarn and paper flowers and  will be sharing tips and techniques to create your own bouquet, boutonniere, wedding garter, headbands/headpieces, decor and a lot more!

Participants will be given a kit that includes fabrics, yarns, printed papers, elastic laces, garterized bands, rhinestones and embellishments so you can start working on your DIY projects. Limited slots are available! Please email candidlypretty@yahoo.com or text 0905-2212141 for more details.

Hope to see you there!

{Tips and Tools} Lasting Impression

 

 A toy store is to a child as Lasting Impression is for me. It was 2011 when I first discovered this wonderful craft supplies haven. I stumbled upon their online store and excitement kept shooting up! I know that the only way to calm down was to visit and experience this wonderland situated in Little Baguio, San Juan. It didn't take long before I found myself  walking along its corridors. With my pupils dilated and shortness of breath just around the corner, it was a challenge looking through rows and rows of craft stash without wanting to take them all home!

If you are craft-crazy like I am, Lasting Impression will be your new fave place! Take a look of some of the things they offer =)
