Happy Weekend! The weekend has OFFICIALLY started and I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’ve been looking forward to a nice pampering weekend since Monday! So I’m uber looking forward to my hair blow out with Blo bar tomorrow followed by a girl’s lunch and then some shopping! I’m also getting emotionally ready for my first TV debut on Monday, so Sunday is strictly reserved for meditation and a mani/pedi combo, LOL!
Greeting you on this Friday with a DIY I did for the super lovely people at Weddingbells. Wedding season is full on and whether you’re the bride-to-be or in the bridal party helping out with all the planning, this simple DIY Lit Up Marquee Sign tutorial is super easy to add some vintage Hollywood glamour to the wedding. You can choose to create initials for the bride and groom or spell out a whole ‘love’ phrase for a dramatic effect. String a ribbon up to and you can hang them to the back of the bride and groom chair, so genius right?
No wedding coming up? No problem, these glittery goodness is perfect for home decor or an outdoor party, no need for an electric outlet to lit these bad boys up!
Here are a few steps on how to create this uber fun and simple DIY. Be sure to head on over to Weddingbells for my full tutorial and photos!
Key Materials: Styrofoam boards, fake tea light candles (battery operated), glitter, modpodge
Want to see a few more other wedding DIY projects? My project along with a few other awesome ones will be in print this July across news stands in Canada!
Have a great weekend and if you’re looking for some weekend ideas, have a look at my recent post on planning a great weekend in the city.=

I watch the Marilyn Denis show and was inspired. I had drop my son to school, went to the grocery store, on my way back i decided to visit my uncle for a bit. On my way to his house i passed some furniture put out on the side walk. I thought those are good chairs. I came home turn on the tv and there you were on the show, the chairs came back in my mind.. I thought I always wanted to do a bit of DIY but never got around to it. On my way home from work at 11:00 pm i decided to go back and see if the chairs were there and sure enough they were. I picked up all three, this will be my summer project.. will let you know
Hi Carlene! So grateful for your comment, thank you so much! I’m glad I’ve inspired you to tackle a DIY thrifted project of your own! I’ve just posted up my post on the Segment, you can see more photos there. Best of luck and I’d love to see the final results of your chair project! You can share your photos on my facebook page!
Take care,
