Colorful Fridays: DIY Fabric Flowers
I regret to announce that this will be the last Colorful Fridays feature for some time. If my readers are interested, I would definitely like to revisit this feature in the future but for now I am finding it difficult part of my schedule to maintain and will not be doing for a while. This really just has to do with the personal things in my life, which is branching into my professional (or lack thereof) aspects of it.

Colorful Fridays: Strawberry Bouquet
Anyone who knows me knows my soft spot for strawberries! Everything from fresh strawberries to artificially flavored strawberry confections; I can't get enough of that gorgeous red tastiness. And I have to say, I'm EXTREMELY tempted to decide right here and now to make this strawberry bouquet for my own wedding!
(via little winter bride: strawberry bouquet)
(so pretty)
Yes, I can see it now -- strawberries everywhere. All the decor, centerpieces, cake... and best of all, you can eat all of it afterward. Can't get much more green than that!
What other fruits or veggies do you think would make a great theme?

Colorful Fridays: Plastic Bottle Redux
This is downstream from Linda Permann over at CraftStylish, who shared these amazing lamps by Sarah Turner.
Can you believe those used to be plastic drinking water bottles?? Yeah, me neither. They are sand-blasted then screwed into the inner shade (which is recycled card) and finally secured with their own bottle tops!
You could knock out your centerpiece and lighting requirements in a 2-for-1 with these sturdy yet dainty looking numbers. Too bad you can't walk in any place in the US to find these eco-friendly lamps, but you can order them from the Sarah Turner website!

Colorful Fridays: We All Scream...
...for ice cream cone decor/favors! This week's post comes from Robyn at Mix Mingle Glow, who shared this creative idea for using Crayola Model Magic (which is a clay-like molding "play dough") to fill cups found at the Dollar Tree!
Just make sure no one actually tries to eat the ice cream, tasty and life-like as it may look.

Colorful Fridays: Glitter and Glue
This caught my eye at the Bridal Bazaar last weekend. Unfortunately, I didn't jot down the name of the designer who did this table but look at these!
Glitter glue + sequins = Hello, simple and classy way to dress up bulk-purchased votive candle holders (ahem, like those you can get on Cudge hint hint). On top of that, it becomes super easy to customize according to color scheme and add variety to your set of 72 clear glass candle holders.
Black and red was featured here but what about black and white, or varying shades of green or blue? A quick search at Michael's revealed a set of Crayola glitter glue that covers 16 different colors.
And just for a touch of green, the "candles" inside these particular ones were LED lights. A good way to cut down on the cost and hassle of candles, plus reusable for future events!

Colorful Fridays: Shades of Green
I know St. Patrick's Day was a couple weeks ago but I just found this delightful recipe from The Food Librarian on how to make layered Jell-O!
I always wondered how to make layered Jell-O but never thought of using melted vanilla ice cream! I'm excited at the possibilities of this -- Jell-O, after all, comes in all colors of the rainbow and this recipe therefore can be modified to fit just about any occasion.
Recipe, again, is here.
Thanks, Food Librarian!
