Our favorite placemats are now available in white! What, you don't know what we are talking about? Well here's the proper introduction:

We found these in New York just a few weeks ago and they are so unbelievably adorable that we immediately fell in love with them! What are they you ask?

Easy: pop-out placemats. Think of them, as placemats with a name card built in, cool, no? We simply adore them! They are made out of a beautiful, fiber rich paper, 13" x 17" (33 x 43 cm) in size and until now they were only available in a wonderful cream color. But that has changed and you can get them not just in the beautiful cream color, but also in a soft, warm white. And because it is obviously post consumer waste paper, it's also very fibrous and thick - we love it!

Three variations are available: The Birdcage, the Mailbox and lastly the Tree and all have a designated space to put the name. A set comes with 10 place mats and all you have to do is pop them out and fold them up, done, that's it.

Not quite actually, you still have to conjure up a fab dinner to go alongside these fab placemats!

Project Instructions to make Rhinestone Wedding Bubble Bottles
All you'll need to make your Wedding Bubble Bottles are:

*
standard sized (.6 oz) bubble bottles - purchase at Michael's, etc. or online
*
craft glue (we love Tacky Glue because it dries clear, quick & strong)
*
Scissors & ruler
*
Rhinestone trim in the color (or colors) of your wedding

Directions for Choker / Short Bow / Long Bow
Tip: The standard sized bubble bottle that we used in the photo is 2 3/4" around the neck. Make sure that your bottle is the same. If not, make allowances in the length of the rhinestone trim you cut for each bubble bottle.
Rhinestone "Choker" Instructions:
10 yard bolt of Rhinestone trim will do 130 standard .6 oz bubble bottles.

1.
Cut one rhinestone strip at 2 3/4" and verify that this is the correct length for your sized bubble bottle. After making sure that you have the correct length to use as a pattern, go ahead and cut your rhinestone trim for each bubble bottle.
2.
It is easiest to do a dozen at a time. So, lay 12 of the bubble bottles on their side and put a small amount of craft glue (make sure it is glue that dries clear - we love Tacky Glue) on the back of the neck of each bottle (see picture).
3.
Take your rhinestone strips and lay the center of the strip in the glue on the back of the neck. Make sure that the rhinestone strip is centered and the same amount hangs down on each side of the bubble bottle (see picture).
4.
Do all 12 bubble bottles and wait about 10 minutes for the glue to set up a little.
5.
Once the glue has set up a little (but is still adjustable in case you need to slide the rhinestone trim around a little) pick up a bubble bottle and apply a little glue to the front (opposite side where you put the glue before) of the neck.
6.
Pull each loose side of the rhinestone strand up and gently press end into the glue so that the ends meet (see picture). Note: if you are using a glue that dries clear - such as Tacky Glue - you will not be able to see the glue once it dries.)
7.
Let dry for at least 12 hours before handling your one of a kind Wedding Bubble Bottles!
