Arabic Wedding Topper

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu

I've been meaning to post this! I'm sorry it took me so long to those I promised pictures.

Anyway.. here it is! An Arabic wedding topper! I love the idea..it's definitely unique! Trust me when I say you can't find them anywhere else.. I looked!!! I made these for someone else. It took me approx. two weeks to complete, and I tried using just about every material I could get my hands on (gum paste, paper mache, plaster of paris, etc.). After the fourth try I came up with my own mix of mainly cardboard and clay.

AlhumduliLlah, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Not edible unfortunately, but solid!!

Close up of the letters. They still look nicer than the pics :)

This is on a red velvet cake!

Lily Switch Plate

As-salaamu'alaykum wa Rahmatu Llahi Wa barakatuhu

The Beloved Prophet (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) said, "None of you truly believes (in Allah and in His religion) until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself"

A few weeks ago, we just finished up our Love For The Believer Swap, which involved making either a big item or a small item for a sister, with the sincere intention to strengthen the bonds with your sisters in Islam.

I decided to make a small item.. I wanted something different, but useful. So I came up with a switch plate. The lilies are made using clay. Insha'Allah maybe one day I can make a tutorial of how to make them. It's very easy to do, and they come out very pretty.


I was waiting for my swap partner to receive it before posting a picture.

Thank you to all the sisters who participated in this swap. There was some great things made, a gorgeous quilt, a personalized apron, a cute little bag, a little jewelry box, a whole outfit, and some bookmarks. Masha'Allah, such talented sisters.
