How to Make a Wedding Cord

The wedding cord was part of my DIY list as well, since I bought an RTW gown. Some of the makers/owners would offer 5,000Php off without the accessories, thus cheaper to make one. 

There are not much inspiration from Pinterest, it took me some time to come up with a design. H2B doesn't want a rosary/beaded cord and the same time, I would still like to incorporate our theme. 

Materials Needed:

Ribbons (lace looks nice as well)
Twist Cord

Glue/glue gun

Scissors
Needle & Thread

1. Measure the length by loosely wrapping it around and adding 5 inches for the knot. If you will be braiding the cord, measurement should be x 3.

2. Tie a loose knot at one end and start braiding the cord. 

3. Once done braiding, gather both ends.
  4. Start sewing to secure the ends together. 

5. Get the middle of the cord to form two loops. Sew the ends in the middle. 

6. Add flowers or ribbons in the end to hide the stitches.

How to Make Ribbon Wands

I wasn't planning on making ribbon wands. But we learned later on the the church doesn't allow confetti, thus, the wands. 

Materials Needed:

Ribbons (lace looks nice as well)

Sticks (I got mine from the grocery)

Glue/glue gun

Scotch tape

Scissors

Bells (optional) (Wellmanson in Divi)

1. Tape the end of the ribbon on the back rest of a chair. Wind the ribbon around until you have reached the desired number of strands.
2.  Cut where the ‘start tape’ is.
3.  If needed, cut the ribbons in half
4. Wrap a piece of the ribbon on top of the stick, put some glue and wrap around. If you wanted to add another ribbon, place some glue on the inside of the first ribbon then wrap it around the stick
5. Insert the bell and tie the ribbons to secure

Notes:

• There are several shops selling bells in Divisoria, same street as Wellmanson. I got the big bells since they are cheaper and make more noise. Should you get the smaller one, I suggest buying wire loops and attaching 2-3 bells. 
• I've decided to have longer ribbons based on this picture:
