| Wedding Bazaar Wedding Toppers from The Small ObjectI love these super-customized wedding toppers by Sarah Neuberger of The Small Object. She works with couples to choose all the things that are special to them (like their pets, or a fancy dress detail, or a superhero theme?) and creates these tiny, amazing pieces. Check out hundreds of photos of her commissions in her Wedding Toppers flickr set. The basic toppers start at $135, with some customizations extra.Sarah says, "I started making wedding toppers about a year ago thanks to customer requests and, I think in some small part, due to my deep love for old autograph verses. It's my version of "Yours til Niagara Falls" and "2 good 2 be 4 got 10." It's a remarkable honor to make something to mark the moment when you and me said it's us forever. I love that."Prost to the Host Tissue PomsI first saw these gorgeous 3D tissue poms made by Prost to the Host at this spring's Crafty Wonderland sale, and picked up a set of them for my daughter's birthday party, in her favorite colors! These would be beautiful wedding or shower decorations, and they're 100% recyclable after the party, too.You can buy a set of 3 poms for $13, or pick up a set of 10, in the colors of your choice, for $30 in their Etsy shop.Read this article | Comment on this article blog.craftzine.com |

Faux-Hawk Zebra Hat I love this crocheted faux-hawk hat that Craftster user neosynthesis (Orange County) made for her co-worker's son, Andrew. He was going to a school with strict rules about attire and hair, but, as she says, he's "a little punk," so she made him a hat-hawk.
