How could I make these?

Zimsgirl · January 2012

So I know the bride doesn't plan her parties but my bridesmaids need help. My sister told me she's not creative and just wants me to tell her what to do lol. My best friend likes doing the DIY projects with me and drinking wine so the three of us really wanna attempt these.

Any idea how I could make these? I want them to be able to open and have the invite wording but how do I get them all the same shape?

Make a stencil from the one above on a piece of thin paper, then trace that onto cardbord and cut it out and then trace them and cut them out of the cardstock.

Or, if you have one of those fancy paper cutter things, the Cricut or whatever, maybe do it with that? IDK how those things work.

I would do the first, it's labor intensive, but it will work with patience.

I agree, just make a stencil

Those look fun!

I don't have that invite :/ I found that on etsy. I was thinking the stencil route but wondering how to do it

Could you get a stencil from a Micheals, Jo Anns, or Hobby Lobby?

If it were me. I would some how get a stencil of it. (Print out the picture and make it the right size, or something. Maybe someone could draw it for you?) Cut them out, two pices per invite. I would attach them together on the top where the pearls are. I would maybe sew (sounds weird, I know) them by hand, with matching pink thread, along the cleavage adding the pearl beads to each stitch or glue the pearls on after. It sounds complicated, but it wouldn't be. And then decorate them how you wish.

Or if you think there would be enough edge along the top of the cleavage to have the fold there, so it would stay together, that would work also.

The simplist way I have would be to take a screen shot and make it the size you want. Then print and use it as a stencil.

I found an image online to use as the stencil! I'm gonna print it off on cardstock and use that as a stencil. I figured We could do sizes on front and invite wording on back?

ETA: There are 8 invites and I think we'll decorate each one different, some lace, some pearl, etc. I'm so excited to make these and get my showers booked!!!

I would totally do it that way! SO much easier! I love the idea of making each one different.

When is your shower scheduled for? I'm thinking about asking my MOH to do mine on a Friday night.
