    For my wedding I did heaps of crepe paper flowers.. (im talking about 200) and then, only to realise that the crepe paper flowers, werent really a great touch with our overall look. They were to be hung over the dance floor in bunches with lanterns, they look good by themselves but in the room, not so good. So mostly my friends have picked up my crepe paper flowers and they are now decorating peoples houses but my own.  Even tho they are very pretty, I cant look at them, totally sick of them.

    So with 3 months to go I have heaps and heaps of crepe paper left over and lets face it, im sure as that I wont be using it after the wedding.

    So im turning to you bees. Anyone have any ideas part from pomanders, that I could do with my crepe paper???  I do have my aisle decor sorted and centrepieces, but anything else??

    I just dont want this paper to go to waste! Ideas please!!

    Many thanks!

    If you are up to doing another DIY project, you could make some wedding crackers. I am making some for my wedding, but I am going to use a different kind of paper.

    noritake22 ooo wedding crackers.. googling it now!

    amariem25: Selling would be good but I dont think anyone would pay for shipping of crepe paper. It would be cheaper for them just to go the store and buy their own, so thats why im thinking another DIY project.  Cheers tho!
