DIY:
Fall Guest Book Tree
Fall is upon us! The leaves are turning and the
weather has become cool and crisp. Autumn is becoming a popular time to tie the
knot. Brides and grooms have started to incorporate fall aspects into their
wedding day. One quick and simple way to add some fall flavor to your special
day is to glam up your guest book by creating a unique, fall themed, guest book
tree.
This project is a quick and inexpensive! It can be
done in less than an hour. All you need is a trip to your nearest craft store
and a dollar store. These are the items
in which you will need to purchase:
-
Clear glass vase (or colored depending
on preference) –Michael’s Craft Store
o
We will use the clear vase for the
base of the tree
-
River rocks or pebbles – Dollar Store
o
You will need to buy enough rocks to
fill the vase
-
Branches
o
You can utilize nature and collect
branches outside!
o
You can also order branches off of
Etsy, Ebay, or Craigslist
-
Die Cut Leaves (In the colors you
choose) Michael’s Craft Store of JoAnn Fabrics
-
String
-
Hole puncher
First, you will take the base of your tree and
fill it with rocks. Once the rocks are half way full, add branches to your
vase. You will want to arrange your branches so the tree is symmetrical and
won’t tip over. Once the branches are in place, you may fill the rest of the
vase with rocks. Once the base of the tree is ready, grab your hole punch and
punch a hole in the top of each leaf. Cut string or ribbon to desired length,
and make a look for guests to hang the leaves on the tree.
Once you set the tree out for display, create a
sample leaf so guests know what to put on the leaf. You can buy fun colored
fall pens, gold, silver, orange, or red for guests to write with. Let your
imagine soar. This simple, easy, and creative guest book tree is sure to be a
hit and can last a lifetime!
