Super Easy DIY: Will You Be My Bridesmaid?

Have you seen the "Will you be my bridesmaid?" gift trend going around? Well, here's a really easy and meaningful DIY way to make some for your girls!



Supplies:
- Two different colors of washi tape, in your wedding color scheme (can be found at Paper Source)
- An ink pad
- A paper tag (can also be found at Paper Source)
- One small kraft paper box (I got this one at Michael's)
- Some "filler" shreds of paper. Or you could use fabric.
- Small piece of paper to write a note on.
- A small, very special gift (I chose a sterling silver ring)
- A marker
- Scissors


1. Cover all four outside edges of the kraft paper box with one of the colors of washi tape.


2. Open the ink pad and press it firmly onto the top of the box. Careful, it takes a while to dry. 


3. Cut hearts out of the second color of washi tape. Place them in a cluster, anywhere on the top of the box.


4. Also ink the paper tag (the more gold the better!)


5. Add some personal touches! Write a special note on the card inside and your friend's name on the tag. Tape the tag to the box and voila!


There you go! An easy DIY for your future bridesmaids. Definitely add your own twists to it, like using your wedding colors and choosing specialized individual gifts for each girl.

  1. Love this, and the idea of a ring for each bridesmaid. It almost feels like a little secret society of bridesmaids! (Who wouldn't want to be part of that club?)
