Invitation Recap: Part I

After many weeks of hard labor camp I finished weddinging invitations. Depending on how far a person had to travel they recevied their invite 8-5 weeks before the wedding. I definitely learned some hard lessons during this project. Especially since it was my first time ever making them!!!! So how did I make silk wraped invites?

Here is what you will need:

• Silk fabric
• chipboard
• gold paper for backing
• ivory or white heavy paper for invite
• vellum paper for overlay
• vellum envelope
• paper envelope
• silk, organza, or satin ribbon
• silk flower petals
• gold yarn
• hi-temp glue gun (small one)
• paper cutter
• scissors
• spray adhesive
• custom stamps
• postcard rsvp

I am so tired looking at this list that I have lost all desire to describe how I made them….maybe I’ll gain the stregnth to share it soon Til’ then here are some pics of what I did. Of course some of the names and addresses have been blured to protect the innocent…lol.
