Welcome to DIY Weddings!

 The first day of a brand new year is the perfect time to introduce a new category on Craft Gossip: DIY Weddings! My name is Kimberly Jones and I am thrilled to join Craft Gossip as its newest editor.  A wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and I want to fill this blog with creative ideas, inspiration, and resources to help you make your special day truly your own.

Winter has settled in to stay in my part of the world and the skies are gray and cloudy, so I thought I would start things off with a cheerful splash of color!

Pantone has revealed the color of the year for 2011 and it’s Honeysuckle!  A vibrant shade of pink, Honeysuckle is already popping up everywhere. Michelle of My Personal Artist created the gorgeous inspiration board above combining honeysuckle pink with beeswax yellow and coral rose orange, a happy melange of hues sure to banish the winter blues!

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you love a good wine and a stylish cheese platter, then this recycled flat wine bottle cheese board will be your new best friend. Not only does it combine two of life’s greatest pleasures, but it also gives a second life to old wine bottles, turning them into something functional and chic.

I stumbled across a similar piece at a friend’s gathering last year, and I couldn’t stop admiring it. The wine bottle was almost unrecognizable—transformed into a sleek, modern board for snacks and small bites. It’s the perfect conversation starter, and honestly, it brings a certain wow factor to any dinner party or casual gathering.

This cheese board isn’t just pretty; it’s practical too. The smooth surface is ideal for serving everything from crackers to fruit to your favorite cheeses. Plus, it’s an awesome example of recycling and upcycling, keeping those old bottles out of landfills while elevating your entertaining game.

Why we love it:

  • Made from recycled flat wine bottles, adding sustainability to your kitchen

  • A unique upcycled home decor item that’s also super functional

  • Ideal for wine lovers, eco-conscious hosts, or anyone who loves a good cheese board

Not only does this board make for a stylish and sustainable addition to your kitchen, but it also makes for an awesome gift for those who love eco-friendly entertaining.
