  How to: DIY Mrs. Sash Have your bridesmaids create this personalized sash for you when planning your bachelorette party. Here's how they'll do it: Take a thin strip of white fabric, long enough to go across your body and be tied into a large knot or bow around your waist. On that strip, iron on letters with your new last name on it. That way, instead of using a generic "I'm the Bachelorette" sash, you can keep this one and reuse it! After wearing it all night celebrating your future-Mrs. status, you can share your good news with the world by hanging it on your door knocker at home. On the day of your wedding, tie the banner or tack it onto the door where you'll be getting ready! Photo by  Artistic Imagery . Get even more amazing DIY ideas in our  photo gallery .

  Link Love: Fashionista Finds We'll admit it, sometimes weddings get a bad rep for not exactly being "fashion forward." So this week's Link Love is all about changing that. These projects are just too cute, and would be perfect for you, your bridesmaids, or even as a cute addition to your favorite honeymoon outfit. Enjoy! 1. DIY Pleated Skirt.  Direct from the UK, this skirt comes from DIY Couture, a boutique with a new twist: rather than buying the garment, you buy a  simple pattern  with easy-to-follow visual instructions. What a great concept! But today, you get this tutorial for free. Lucky you.  ( The Storque  via  DIY Couture ). 2. Blue Flower Necklace.  Bridesmaid gift? Or rehearsal dinner must? This fabric-rose necklace is so chic, you'll want to wear it everywhere.  ( Lollychops ). 3. DIY Fenton Necklace.  Jewelry designer Dana Lorenz created Fenton, a luxe line of bracelets and necklaces, and quickly made her way to fashion st...

  Create your own Remembrance Table What better way to display who you are and where you're both from than by turning your guestbook table into a table full of memories? Gather everything from old photographs of your great-grandparents right down to you and your husband. Pick photos of you and your hubby at various stages of your life. Add versions of your parents and grandparents as babies, toddlers and at their own wedding day. It's a great way to get your mom, or even grandma, and mother-in-law involved. Ask them to spend an afternoon with you digging up old photos in the attic. To add to this beautiful vintage vibe, consider including antiques, family heirlooms and any other items passed down through the generations of your family. For elegant vintage picture frames, try  YourPictureFrames.com . Or for more budget finds, try  Ebay.com . We love the idea of the old typewriter (in the photo on the right). In a similar vein, frame one of your favorite paintings, a poem, ...

  Link Love: Pretty in Pink It's all about the fun girlie details today. Here are some great accessories ideas -- and even a pair of DIY shoes! 1. Braided headband.  This fashionable headband is too cute. You could have your flower girl do the braiding and that way she'll feel like she got to be a part of the crafting as well.  ( Skip To My Lou ) 2.

Felt rose earrings.  They could be cute accessory or handmade gift for your bridesmaids, or make and wear them yourself as your "something blue."  ( Rubies & Pearls ) 5. Fabric carnation tutorial.  This project could easily be ac...

  DIY Message Under Your Shoe Not everything DIY for your wedding has to be decor related—check out this adorable pair of high heels with "I Do" written in bedazzles on the bottom of the shoe. With bedazzle rhinestones and studs from your local craft store (or  Michaels.com  sells them), write a little message! If you kneel during your ceremony, your guests will have a view of your sparkly "I Do" glued to the bottom of your heels. Or, this little touch is a surprise to show your husband-to-be, or just for a sweet Cinderella moment in a photograph. Even if you wear them again, you'll always know those white heels were from your big day! Check out these gorgeous  DIY centerpieces , perfect for any budget.

  DIY Wedding Welcome Signs Whether your wedding is in a backyard or down a long dirt road in the mountains, a sign is always a cute way to both welcome your guests to the ceremony or point them in the right direction when in doubt! In the first one, head to a local photographer or search online for a vendor who can create a custom life-size stand up photograph of yourselves. Do a silly pose, pointing in a direction to help the guests on their way. The second photograph is a wooden sign stuck into a large watering can flower pot with daisies. This, placed at the entry way of the reception, is a sweet touch and a great keepsake for after the reception. To create this one, take a piece of wood, about 4 inches thick and a yard long, and paint over it with white paint to create a background. (This couple painted circles creating a pattern on the wood.) Then, take a thick permanent marker in different colors (or a thin paintbrush and some water-resistant paint) and write your names on t...

  Link Love: Shabby Chic This week's projects all have that certain something to make them look just broken-in enough -- without actually being shabby. Here's the best from around the net. 1. No Sew Headband.  It's no secret taht we're big fans of Non-Pareil Magazine yet, so we were hardly surprised to see that they came up with this glamorous no-sew headband.  ( NonPareilMag ) 2. Kanzashi Flower.  This cute flower puts a new twist on a traditional Japanese craft. You could easily make these in a variety of colors as decor or add them to your bridal party's gift bags.  ( Edie's Fashion Factory ) 3. Doily Banners.  It doesn't get much more shabby chic than this -- a banner made entirely or old doilies. These would look great hanging at an outdoor reception, or even to add an extra feminine touch to your bridal shower.  ( Katie Jean ) 4. Flag Book Cookbook.  Esther K. Smith, who wrote the cutest little book "The Paper Bride," came up with this proje...

  DIY Flower Boutonniere This month's question comes from oohpieceofcandykim who wanted to learn how to make non-flowered boutonnieres. Visit our  message boards here  and send us your DIY questions. Your request could be answered in a future post. You don't have to use real flowers for your wedding boutonnieres -- here are three cute alternatives to a freshly picked bloom -- all using buttons. To create the yellow boutonniere: 1. Collect silver and yellow buttons of all sizes and shapes. 2. Arrange them one on top of the other to form mini arrangements resembling flowers. Use a green wire (fishing wire or those carried at craft stores works well) to thread through the buttons, holding them all together. 3. Gather all of the "stems" of your new little button flowers and wrap the green wire around it over and over to create volume. 4. Attach a safety pin to the back and you've got a little bouquet of buttons! (See how nice this one looks against the light suit? It...

  Link Love: Girlie Inspiration We're feeling especially girlie around here lately, so today's Link Love is all about those feminine touches. Lots of flowers and even some classic tea party inspiration. 1. Say Cheese.  Have a sophisticated cocktail and cheese hour as your guests transition over into the reception with this cute DIY cheese tray.  ( Ritzy Bee Blog ) 2. Chiffon and Tulle Flowers.  Think you have to pay big to get this delicate and soft look? Think again. Small chiffon pieces and bits of tulle come together to make this delightfully elegant hair accessory (or you could even wear it as a brooch).  ( Project Wedding ) 3. Hankerchief Roses.  We get it, sometimes those heirlooms (like grandma's hankie) aren't actually worth hanging on to. But instead of just tossing them out, why not reclaim them into a beautiful rose collection?  ( Eco-Proper.com ) 4. Hole-Punch Flowers.  That's right! All you'll need to put this craft together is a simp...

 Como fazer live npc Para fazer uma transmissão em direto de um NPC, podes seguir estes passos gerais: 1. **Escolhe uma Personagem**: Decide qual a personagem NPC que queres representar durante a transmissão em direto. Pensa na sua personalidade, maneirismos e frases de efeito. Isto vai ajudar-te a criar uma personagem consistente e cativante. 2. **Prepara o diálogo e as respostas**: Desenvolve um conjunto de respostas e diálogos pré-programados para a tua personagem NPC. Podem ser frases, sons ou frases de efeito que se alinham com a personalidade da personagem. Considere os presentes ou interacções dos espectadores que irão desencadear respostas específicas. 3. **Configurar uma plataforma de transmissão em direto**: Escolha uma plataforma de transmissão em direto que se adeqúe às suas necessidades, como o TikTok, o Twitch ou o YouTube Live. Crie uma conta e defina as suas definições de transmissão em direto. 4. **Criar um calendário de transmissão em direto**: Determine a frequên...

  DIY Water Bottle Labels Maybe you saw our  DIY wine bottle label , but here's another twist on the same idea: try it on a water bottle. Instead of prepping the label for your party favors, you can sweeten up a basic bottle of water for those dancing late into the night that want some H20 and a little break from the cocktails. Or, if you're having an outdoor wedding in the heat of summer, leave a water bottle at each of the chairs so your guests can stay refreshed during the ceremony. All you'll need are some basic blank labels (tip: use business mailing labels bought at an office supply store in bulk -- they're often a few dollars cheaper than buying craft labels), an ink jet printer and the photo you want to use. You can design your own photo and words combination or search for downloadable templates (we love  Just Something I Made , which frequently posts vintage-inspired templates and images). You can also add the wedding labels to your favors, out-of-town guest we...

  Link Love: All About Accessories This week is all about those extras that can really complete a wedding ensemble. The best part about these projects? Minimal sewing expertise is required to get these totally fashionable looks. 1. Potato Print Accessories.  These cute accessories use buttons in various sizes to add to headbands or even bobby pins. We also think that a cute cluster of these buttons would make an excellent non-floral boutonniere.  ( Incy Wincy Stitches ) 2. Melon Necklace.  Yup, you read right. This necklace is actually made from melon seeds that have been painted and then had holes carefully poked through their centers. Bet you never knew it wasn't wooden beads from looking at that photo, right?  ( The Little Treasures ) 3. Skinny Ties.  Keep your wedding as hipster as you want with this simple project to convert any old regular wide tiny into indie-rocker skinny fabulous-ness.  ( DesignMom.com ) 4. Petal Sandals.  If these look f...
