So I went to Hobby Lobby and they were having their wedding stuff half off. Almost got the aisle runner but it had a print on it, and I was scared that I would not end up liking it, so I didn't get it. BUT I bought some material to make my DIY table runners that I'm going to paint our monogram on it!! The material was only $1.87 a yard, I got it in a cream color and got 4 yards. I also bought some medium sized dark red satin ribbon to put along the side of it!!
Now I went to go pick out the paint. Why in the world was this the hardest thing I've ever had to do! None of the color reds were right!!! I opened up like every single one and they were all super super bright!! ugghhhh finally I decided that i'll try mixing some and seeing if I can get the color I want, blaaahhh that's silly getting stressed out over paint! =)
I forgot to get some stitch witchery or something to be able to attach the ribbon to the material, but that's ok, that can wait. I just want to get to painting!!!! =)

Yay!!!! I got my fabric too and just need to pick up the paint (and the ribbon for the sides...how funny!). I am dying to start on them but, I think I might wait for my mom to help me cut them straight and sew them up first. She's the whiz with the sewing machine. Me, not so much!
Did you see the aisle runner Meagan posted on her blog? It had aprint and looked beautiful - very subtle.
Are you just gonna sew up the edges of it? I guess I need to consult my mom on what to do, she's the sewer in the family.
HOw are you going to attach the ribbon?? i got a great deal on the ribbon it was like $2.50 for a 10 yard spool....FI is about to be working 2 1/2 weeks straight soo i'm probably gonna get to do all of this!! yeah the table runners and the aisle runners are what i'm looking forward too!!!
Yeah your right about Meagans aisle runner. The print on it was subtle...hmmm maybe i'll go back and get it!!! =)
