David Tutera Makes DIY Easy With New Michaels Partnership
Entertaining expert David Tutera has a brand new line for DIY lovers that allows them to make their own flowers for any special occasion, including birthdays and weddings. Tutera sits down with Alyssa Julya Smith in Los Angeles to talk about creating the line and what he hopes people get from the project.
Tutera also talks about his shoe line that is exclusively for special occasions, saying the shoes are perfect for brides on their big day since they are shoes "that should be seen." The entertaining expert, who has planned numerous celebrity weddings, gave his take on the Royal Wedding next year, including what he thinks Meghan Markel will wear on the big day.
As a style expert, Tutera is well versed in all things fashion and he says he knew ultra violet with the Pantone color of the year in 2018 before it was even announced. Tutera's DIY Sizzix line is exclusively available at Michaels.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
You'll just have to wait for interest rates (and prices) to go down. Plus, this deal's a steel, the big carmaker wedding is off, and bribery is back, baby!
