DIY Monogrammed Wedding Vase

S: I saw these painted mason jars recently on Pinterest and decided to do something similar for our upcoming wedding next year.

I used white spray-paint, a Central Market Organics spaghetti sauce glass jar, and a free font from Lost Type. Print and cut out the initials and ampersand you want to use, then use double-sided tape to affix them to the clean jar. Then spray-paint two or three coats. Peel off the letters and let dry. I also accented the top with some blueberry Divine Twine. Perfect for flowers, straws, or pens by the guestbook.

Materials:
-White spray-paint
-Glass jar
-Neat font
-Double-sided tape
-Divine Twine

Scrabble Typography Limited Edition

S: Chris sent me a link to this article on Friday, and I can't stop thinking about how beautiful this Scrabble board is.

S: From the article: The purpose of this project was to revive an old, but loved game. The idea was to excite people about typography by giving them the ability to choose what font their Scrabble set would come in. The game board and interior box are made out of solid walnut, and the exterior box is made out of solid birch. Swoon on so many levels! (Those levels being the Scrabble level, the font level, and the solid walnut/solid birch levels.)
