Making

Now onto the fun part!

You will need:

– laser cut outers
– coloured inlays
– printed inserts
– a guillotine (or a cutting knife & metal ruler)
– thin double sided tape (we can supply this)
– any decorations you’re going to use (ribbons, diamantes etc.)
– sharp scissors
– superglue & tweezers (for diamantes & pearls)

Step one

Trim down your printed outers using the guillotine (or knife & ruler).

Fold these in half & stick a piece of double sided tape to the back of the invitation.

Step two

Fold your coloured inlays in half & remove the backing from the double sided tape on your printed insert.

Stick this carefully inside the colour inlay.

Step three

Using the guillotine (or knife/ruler) trim the edges of the inlay/insert to tidy them up.

Stick another piece of double sided tape to the back of the coloured insert.

Step Four

Remove the backing from the tape & stick the insert to the back of the inside of the laser cut outer.

Step Five

Add ribbon by looping it around the invitation & tying it in a small bow at the top of the front.
Trim the ends of the ribbon with sharp scissors for a neat finish.
