Howdy gals-
Here is my entry for the DIY contest. They’re my invitations and I totally love them! The pics of course do not convey their fabulousness so I’ll try to explain.
Each pocketfold had a custom name tag that was made from a capiz shell. I wrote the name of the guest in script on the shell, added a silver leaf charm with jewelry wire and then a dangly charm of some sort. No two were alike. They were held together with a jewelry binding so that they could be used as a pendant. Some of my guests are using them as a keychain.
The envelopes were really drawstring pouches made from antique silk saris from India. They can be used as makeup bags or jewelry pouches, etc. I used clear cellophane envelopes to mail the packet.
The stamps were custom designed with our names, wedding date and a picture of our ceremony location in Central Park.
The “calligraphy” was printed on my computer on crushed silk paper and adhered to the sari with glue dots so that they are easily removed. I cut around each address using scalloped edge scissors to fancy them up a bit more. The “handwriting” is so authentic looking I’ve had about 1/2 of our guests ask us who did them. In our case it’s Mr. Hewlett Packard.
I am blushing about sending this to you guys because I am such a dork.
Thanks and enjoy!
Kim
