Black and White Felt Wedding

My very first wedding project made out of felt.

At first I was very hesitant to do these, since the last time I did wedding accessories was on my very own wedding and that was almost 6 years ago.

Very challenging job but at the end it was very satisfying.

I do hope the couple (my college classmates), who will be walking down the aisle on September 1, 2012, will love it too.

My job was made easy because of the generous persons who shared their ideas, patterns and tutorials on the net.

Here are my inspirations:

I made the patterns using INKSCAPE. I am so willing to share the pattern of this Quiet Book but unfortunately I was not able to arrange it very well. Hopefully, if time permits (I am really very busy now!) I will be able to edit it and post it as a freebie.

Inspired!!! Go ahead and make one for your kiddos!!!
