i have been searching around for some inspiration to send my best friend's way with regards to wedding invitations.  they can be incredibly pricey, and so i have been trying to help her search for some fun, creative options out there.  in the mean time, i came across this designer's work:

uhhhhh, yeah. freaking amazing right?! these are definitely over the top but so beautiful. i can't wait to one day plan my own wedding and design my own invites.  at least i will have a little taste when i design her bridal shower invites :)

2. Place all the circles into a paper bag and shake it up really well.

3. Pull out a few circles at a time and sew them, one after another, down their middles, using the invisible thread.  There should be no space in-between each piece.
