Escort Cards

Who's sitting where? Let them know with jubilant tented triangles strung clothesline-style across a paper-covered canvas. Create them by gluing little lengths of eyelashlike tissue and Mylar onto diamond-shaped card stock. Then fold each one in half, add names, and hang.

Wedding Cake

This confection is dressed in its fringiest finery: Gold, silver, and colored papers were cut into zigzags, sliced with scissors, and wrapped around each fondant-covered tier. In lieu of a bride-and-groom topper, it's crowned with garlands and a paper flower.
