I did these last year but I really wanted to share them with my newer readers. I love how the project turned out and they would make the perfect compliment to yesterday’s DIY. For full instructions, check out the original post. You’ll find everything you need to make your own sparkler cards, matchbook wrappers and straw tags, including printable templates!

I was shopping after work when I ran across these matchstick gardens! All you have to do is plant the match head into soil and ta-da! Micro garden! They come in a variety of herb and wildflower combinations all with their own cute matchbook. I’m half tempted to leave one of these in my pocket and get my Johnny Appleseed on when it strikes my fancy.

Abby from Style Me Pretty posted a few pics from each of the 3 projects I submitted for her DIY Wedding Contest. Such an incredible honor to win!!! There were so many great and unique projects and I can’t wait for the next contest.

Abby has since asked me to be a contributing DIY editor on Style Me Pretty. I will be submitting projects on a monthly basis so check back for updates!Â
