    So I finally got started on DIY experimenting. I just got the crafting itch, and decided to try bouts. My FI was really impressed, but that's because he really didn't know what they were at first. I just used some colors I got from the remnant bin, so I'm not using them myself, but just trying the technique out.

    I'd really like the hive's opinion on them. I posted them on my blog:

    If you've got the time, would you hop over and check them out? I don't want to make these thinking they're good, and then have people laugh!

     

    Thanks!

    They look great!!  You do have a talent for crafts...start making more things for your wedding, it really is fun and less expensive!!  Can I ask what your wedding colors are?!

    Thanks! It really was my first time making bouts...I do like crafts, but nothing spectacular.

    @Lizaan: I know there's room for improvement, just wanted to make sure I'm not delusional thinking they're pretty good. Thank you!

    @crebre: I'm going to make some minor adjustments, and I'll probably post a tutorial! Thanks!

    @jingle: I haven't chosen wedding colors yet. Me and FI have color issues, we haven't even picked a paint coor for our bedroom (after a year and a half!).

     

    Thank you all!

    They look great!  I agree that you should post a tutorial on how you made them.  We're also doing non-floral bouts and I have no idea how/where to start!

    I feel much better now. Thanks ladies! I was worried they didn't look as good as I thought.
