The South African Wedding Guide

Posted: 29 November 2011

With summer almost in full force, we don't blame the brides for wanting outdoor weddings. In sunny South Africa late afternoon weddings have become increasingly popular and this DIY favour tag will fit in nicely with an outdoors wedding theme.

Follow the simple steps below to make your own butterfly seating tags.

This is what you’ll need:

  • Crafting Moss
  • Styrofoam Balls
  • Terracotta Pots
  • Butterflies
  • Wooden Stir Sticks
  • Ribbon and or Twine
  • Place Cards
  • Glue Gun
  • Scissors


Now follow these easy steps:

STEP ONE

After printing your table numbers and names on the place cards, fold them in half and cut them to size.

STEP TWO

Wrap the stir sticks in ribbon or with the twine leaving a section open for the glue.

STEP THREE

Take one of the styrofoam balls and cut them in half. Put one of the halves in the terracotta pot with the flat side facing up. Put another styrofoam ball (uncut) on top of the flat side and secure with hot glue.

STEP FOUR

Remove the moss from the packaging and gently seperate them making bunches and sticking them with the hot glue onto the styrofoam ball untill the ball is completely covered.

STEP FIVE

Add your butterfly details.
