Not really DIY but Gotta love 'em
I picked up some Old Navy flip flops this winter for about $.50
The girls can choose to wear them or not at the reception.
But they are great recovery from heels!
Day-of-Shirts
I ordered several different pre-made iron-ons including: 4 Bridesmaids, 1 Bride, and 1 Just married.
I got pre-made wedding iron-ons from http://www.jubileerhinestones.com/Bridal-Wedding-Transfers/
Theses were super simple and pretty fast to make. I ordered my camis from Old Navy. They were on average $4 a shirt.
All you need is:
IronPre-made iron-ons
Shirts
Cardboard or a folder
Optional- Ruler
How to:
1. Iron the shirt to get any wrinkles out and to get the shirt warm
2. Us the ruler to make a line indention to help make sure the iron-on is straight
3. Peel the back from the iron-on and place onto shirt
4. Iron the rhinestones through the plastic (make sure to touch every rhinestone)
5. Let the ironed area cool completely
6. Peel off the plastic covering
7. Re-iron the rhinestones to be sure none came up glued when removing the plastic.
8. Let cool and then enjoy!
