Anyway, the first thing I worked after I nailed down a date and place (5 weeks before her wedding, on a sunday & Em's mom's house in a suburb of Kansas City), was a favor.
I went to big lots and stocked up on mason jars. One 12 pk was only $6! So I bought around 6 boxes of 12 to insure I had extras.
Next I put all of the mason jars through the washing machine. Then I hand-washed the lids and let them dry.
After everything dried I spray painted the flat part of the lid (I had no idea what they're called) with chalkboard paint. And let it dry and replied.
And put it all together:
I found the pink & white twine from etsy and the pink chalk I chose to write with from the dollar store. In the end, I decided not to go with the little paper sayings because I had to ship them all the way to Kansas from Baltimore.
When I got to Kansas I bought some tea bags from the grocery store. I went with just standard Bigelow English Breakfast, because I wasn't sure of everyone's taste.
End everyone seemed to love them. People can actually use them after they get home! :)
