Flashback: Crocheted Bow Tie, Pantyhose Petals, and T-Shirt Wedding Dress

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

June is DIY Wedding month here on CRAFT, and we’ve posted a number of projects from previous issues of CRAFT magazine in the past. Here’s a roundup of 3 lovely wedding projects.
First up, from CRAFT Volume 06, learn how to create delicate nylon flowers to dress up a wedding gown, veil, or centerpiece (pictured above). Check out the Panyhose Petals tutorial from Mary Beth Klatt.

Next, make sure the groom doesn’t get left out of the homemade wedding love with this classy crocheted bow tie tutorial by Linda Permann, from the pages of CRAFT Volume 10.

And finally, learn how to use your favorite dress pattern to make a wedding dress out of white T-shirts. This project first appeared on the pages of CRAFT Volume 06, written by the mother/daughter crafting duo of Donna and Lauren Kroiz.
These three projects are great springboards for your creativity. They each provide solid instructions but leave plenty of room for creative customization. Make it yours!
