Paper Wedding Crafts from Victorian Times
The Victorians loved decoration, particularly anything with lace and flowers.
There are some lovely wedding craft ideas that reflect that time and that love of beauty, and they are easy and inexpensive to make. In this article, I will share a couple of my favorites with you.
Favors are a thoughtful touch at your celebration. Make pretty ones by rolling paper doilies into cones, gluing them along the seam, and stuffing tulle rounds into them.
You can then fill the cones with candy,wedding rice, potpourri, or whatever you like. Decorate them with ribbons, charms,or stickers, You can adapt this idea by using pretty colored or patterned papers to make the cones.
Another use for paper doilies, and my favorite wedding craft, involves making Tussy Mussies, which can replace floral bouquets for the braidesmaids or even for the bride.
This is done exactly the same way you make the favors. Attach five or six ribbon streamers in your wedding colors to the cones at the point where they are glued together.
Let the ribbons hang down from the front. Insert tulle rounds into the bottom of the cones, and fill the cones with real, silk, or dried flowers.
These ideas should be just the beginning of what you can do with imagination and a couple of packs of decorative papers or doilies. Check origami sites or do a search for "paper crafts" to find many more .
