    Really love the photos on the 'Show off your ....' threads and thought it would be nice to do a DIY creations one, (done a search and can't find one... though I could be wrong). I don't just mean your invites, but anything you have been brave enough to make yourself for your special day. It may give others the inspiration and the courage to do their own items too. xx
    Will upload pics of my ventures into wedding DIY later when I get more time on the laptop.

    Looking forward to seeing everyones creative talent!

    I haven't started mine yet! I'm so impatient and eager to start but we need to save some money for the bits we need first! I have mock up's in my albums though.

    I'm making all the flowers, some decorations out of Lego! Oh, and the favours we're making from scratch too.

    These are the name tag holders for the kiddos and they can have them as favours ofc. So far only two done but will be in all 7 wedding colours (red, green, blue, orange, yellow, pink and purple) - don't know yet how many I'll actually need.

    I'v not started anything yet, but I really cant wait to get cracking.
    Going to bookmark this page, because I'm sure there will be some good pics posted on here. I enjoy looking at picture of things people have made. I think it's really nice to have these personal touches at your wedding. :)

    Thank you Stevie.

    I just finished my valentines gift which will be (hopefully) our cake topper. If h2b agrees - it's a Valentines surprise.

    I might take it apart again and start again with Hello Kitty as I don't like her. Made her much better before.

    I am currently in the process of making a collection for sale - but hair accessories, brooches and shoe clips.

    Legally I couldn't sell Yoda because of it's copyright. I could certainly do with the pennies whereas Mr. Lucas won't care much about a tenner - but it's his officially :D

    if you dont call it yoda (call it something similar) then you shouldnt be breeching copyright, i believe it would be the name and not the image that Mr Lucas has copyrighted

    That doesn't surprise me. Lucas is famous for having kept the full copyright on all things Star Wars.

    If it's named differently it also can't be found by someone looking for it. There's a hell of a lot of Lego Star Wars jewellery about - all on Etsy and Ebau. Certainly worth looking into it.
