Wedding Diy: Wedding Car Deco

For the whole of last weekend, am putting my creativity cells into great test. The challenge is to reuse my sister wedding car deco and diy it according to my own taste.

Frankly, i really dont mind reuse some of the old deco staff for my wedding. Both Peter and I believe in spending money in its appropriate place, and funny to say wedding decoration comes at the least in our list of priority.


This is what i've 'inherited' from my sister. There is 2 sets of the big ones (for both front and back of the car) and 2 sets of small ones (for side handles). Its not my favourite color, but well at least it pleases the elders (Red - good color for chinese).


I bought this white-pinkish color artificial flowers with shiny edge from a shop called "Ribbons and lace". Each cost at RM1.50. The important thing is that it must have a sturdy (preferably long) metal stem which is easy to bend, yet tightly seal to the flower. It will be funny if the flowers keep falling off from the car during the drive to the church.



Some other essential materials are the metal wire (RM1 for 25 pieces), and the white web like plastic wrappers of the same materials (RM 2.20/metre) with the original car deco (red and pink). Fold the wrapers into three layer from the side, then back and forth from the end. Tie the middle with a piece of the wire. The output will look something like this.


Next, release the folds from the sides so that it looks fluffy. Tie the fluffy white flower with wire in the middle to the original red-pink deco.


Then add in two flowers on top of the white fluffy flower, make sure all the wire stuff goes through the main deco structure to the back and tie all the wire together into a knot.


TaDa! this is the final outcome. Wonder how my Myvi looks with these decos.
