Flower Girl Pinafore {Beautiful DIY Idea}

Saturday, August 29th, 2009

From the Fabulous Martha Stewart

When choosing which table linen to use, take your flower girl’s height into account. A taller child will require a table runner; a shorter one may only need a place mat. Semitransparent fabric such as this linen allows petals to show through. Wide ribbon that complements your decor looks prettiest.

Flower Girl Pinafore How-To:


1. Fold the linen in half end to end. Cut a ribbon long enough to encircle the waist and tie in the back; slip it into the fold. Tack the ribbon to both ends with a needle and thread.

2. Fold the front piece of the linen up so that the end meets the fold with the ribbon in it (effectively halving the top layer, making a pocket). Sew the pocket in place along both sides with a needle and thread.

3. Fill the pocket to the brim with colorful petals before tying the apron around your flower girl’s waist.

Martha Stewart Favor Boxes…

I filled my martha stewart favor boxes with green and brown m&m’s and gave them out as bridal shower favors. I was going to do the custom m&m’s but since my wedding colors were granny apple green and chocolate brown, I saved money by just using the regular green/brown m&m’s! Anyways, I just wanted to show you some of the SUPER CUTE favor boxes as seen on www.marthastewart.com! I used the white eyelet ones seen below:
