Hello Birdies!

August 5th, 2009 @ 11:56 am by Mrs. French Bulldog

Last week when I said goodbye to my cute birdie place card holders, Mama Frenchie and I tried to figure out a way to get some birdie goodness back in. Here is a sneak peek at what we’ve been working on.

It started with some of this…

then we cut out some of these…

and shrunk ’em down to these…
Hello Birdies! :  wedding diy favors Smallbi

Who doesn’t like Shrinky Dinks!?! Our original plan was to make our own birdie place card holders, but when we found the heart-shaped memo clips, we decided to put the birdies somewhere else. You can probably guess where, but you’ll have to wait to see them in action.

We made 130 of these bad boys!

Did you use any kiddie craft materials for any of your wedding projects?

I am excited to see how you use them! My guess is you’ll use them on thank-you notes.

I heart shrinky dinks. Mostly b/c my mom would never buy them for me when I was young. I felt deprived. ;-( LOL.

What a great craft! I haven’t used a shrinky dink since elementary school! Way to old school the crafts, I’m inspired.
