Last week, we announced our DIY project contest, and all this week we’ll be featuring some of the best submissions. On Friday, we’ll poll readers to determine the winner for the week, who’ll then go on to the semi-finals!
If you’ve got a project to submit, please send it to guest@weddingbee.com.
And now for today’s entry–Tanya’s beautiful silk-covered pocketfold invitations:
Last July we hosted a best DIY project contest, and we had so many awesome submissions, we had to host another one this year! Kelly sent in some amazingly creative projects, but her “through the years” table numbers were voted the winning submission overall by readers. You can see all of last year’s entries here.

So if you’ve got some diy skillz to showcase, send us pictures of your best diy wedding projects to guest@weddingbee.com. Multiple entries are welcome!
