DIY Program Idea

February 16th, 2010 @ 10:19 am by Mrs. Sewing

Our church does a holiday women’s luncheon every year, where they have a guest speaker, delicious catered food, and plenty of favors. This past year I was tasked with making the devotional booklets, which I thought came out pretty darn cute. If I put on my wedding-hat (not that it’s ever off these days), I could easily see these become snazzy little program books.

First we start with a bunch of pre-made cards. These are actually all samples from some printing company… such a great way to recycle!

But, since they are samples, they have this funky “order me” text on the inside. So, we’ll glue over it with the last page of the booklet.

Next, punch out two holes at the top of the book pages.

And also in the card itself.

Now stick the pages inside and tie the package together with a little ribbon bow.

Score the top of the card and bend it up for easy viewing.

That’s it! Simple, eh?

If you had some fancy cards for cover art, I bet it would look pretty cool.

Anyone else inspired by non-wedding DIY projects? Is it purely a result of constantly having “wedding” on the brain?
