Lilies (Silk)

Birdseeddecorations

Small Burlap Bags

Paint Pens or Fabric Paint and Brushes

Upholstery Needle

Twine

You will want to order your mimic drawstring burlap bags online from an online wedding supply store. You can also use mini organza bags or linen bags. You decide how rustic or vintage you want to get!

Now, lay each bag out flat on the table. Pour some fabric paint into a small cup and dip your paint brush in the paint. Use a metallic color if possible like copper or silver.

Dry brush the paint over the bags on one side. Skim the bumpy surface of the burlap to highlight the pattern.

If you are using organza, then lightly brush in a criss cross pattern to create visual texture.

Let this dry and repeat on the other side.charger plates

Now, fill each vintage glamour wedding favor bag with the bird seed. This is popular wedding favor, but we will be taking it to a whole new vintage glamour wedding favor level.

You can buy bird see at the grocery story or home improvement store.

Now, Take yoru silk Lillie's and thread twine on the metal upholstery needle. Punch the end of the needle through the back side of the silk lilies. Pull all the way through and tie in a knot.

Now, sew them onto the top of each bag, right where the draw string unh in together. A few simple loops will do, then tie off in a knot!cashmere scarf

Tip: You can take the same metallic paint and add some touches ot the silk lilies.

Another great look is to paint glue on the silk lilies before you attach them. Sprinkle on an extra fine glitter in an antique silver recolor. Let these dry and then apply as before.
