Lea — Thu, 28 May 2009 00:11:23 +0000

If you are a regular reader, then you know that we love many of the DIY ideas from Martha Stewart Weddings. We particularly love these easy-to-make flower rings, which serve as great gifts for your bridal party and is a great fashion accessory for yourself!

Instructions:

Purchase fabric flowers from your local craft store
Snip the fabric flowers from their stems
Wrap ribbon around your finger to determine the approximate length you’ll need
Cut ribbon to size, adding about 1/4 inch for overlap
Use a hot-glue gun to join ends together, forming a loop, and to add flowers to ribbon bands.
