DIY Contest Winners
What an amazing DIY Contest that was! I was delighted to share so many creative projects, I can definitely tell how hard it was to pick a winner. We counted the votes over the weekend and it was a very tight competition! Remember first place winner will receive $500 and second place a $100 gift certificate to the fabulous Wendy Mink Jewelry, so there was a lot at stake. We filtered all repeat votes and counted all the 819 votes. So without further ado, the winners are…
Second place winner is…
Entry #24: DIY Bottle Centerpieces
From Hillary:
For my wedding, I will be painting the bottles all white, but I was inspired to try different colors for this project. It is probably the most inexpensive, eco-friendly way to turn something you have laying around your house into something unique and beautiful for your centerpieces or even your table at home!

Entry #11: DIY Pom Pom Bouquet
From Alexandra:
This bouquet uses yarn scraps, old shirts of the groom’s (flannel and cotton button-down), an old tank top, a vintage knitting needle, some vintage lace, and old ribbon scrap. You also need a needle (curved would be preferable) and thread that matches your fabric, jewelry wire (about 26 gauge, a bit wider would be ok too), pins (optional, actually, you could sew everything), and fabric or hot glue, wire cutters (pliers might be helpful but not really necessary). I also added in a necklace, which is optional- you could also use a brooch, or any sentimental sort of trinket that can be tied or pinned on. Click here for instructions.
Congratulations Hillary and Alexandra! I will be contacting you shortly. If you’re new here, you don’t want to miss the DIY projects submitted by all the participants. It’s chock full of creativity!
