DIY Guest Bloggers!

September 26th, 2008 @ 6:39 pm by Mrs. Bee

Someone recently asked me what happened to the DIY projects on Weddingbee (we actually posted three little ones today ). But these kind of things ebb and flow, and countless hours of work need to be completed before a Bee can write a DIY post.

So to spice up the diy quotient on Weddingbee a bit, we decided to launch a new guest blog feature dedicated solely to DIY projects!

First things first — we need a new icon, so please comment below with your suggestions. And if you have a DIY guest blog you’d like to submit or nominate, please email us at guest at weddingbee.com - we can’t wait to see them!

Have a fantastic weekend everyone!

@rzblna: Um, wow. I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Weird. The ribbon should be satiny and comming off a big spool. That’s my origional comment.

I like the ribbon suggestion or maybe a glue gun or a paper cutter slicing paper.
Either way I’m excited

How about a Gocco icon? Just Kidding. I like the scissors idea, surrounded by a glue stick and some paper.

I think if it were to really represent my DIY projects it would be of a frizzy haired girl wiping her sweaty brow and coverd in bits of glue and paper scraps. A smoking gocco or something would really complete the look. Or you could just do a ribbon cutting paper.

What about spelling out DIY with DIY objects? Ribbon for the D, a paintbrush for the I, and scissors for the Y??

Maybe you can jump on the “cute bugs” theme and include a ladybug cutting out a heart. Love the scissors idea and the hammer idea too!

I like the scissors cutting ribbon, or the cutting thread that was stitched to say “DIY”.

I’m super excited about this feature!

I think scissors are it… its pretty much what everyone suggested.

If not with ribbon, it could be paper with a trimmed edged (you know either wavy or with another scissor pattern we use for scrapbooking)

The ’smoking Gocco’ made me giggle

How about a picture of a girl (or 2 for diversity possibilities) with craft stuff coming out of her ears, maybe using a gocco, or with sewing needle in mouth as she’s stitching something, or deep in thought sketching a monogram, etc.
