This
is a DIY that I have been wanting to create since we tied the knot!
Yes, its been over three years! I just couldn't part with our left over
wedding invitations...so the other day I pulled them out of hiding and got to
work. I found this idea over on weddingbee. Here is the post I did a few year ago! Wow..haven't been over there in a long time!
Here
is the finished product! I want to say it looks better in person!! It
will look even better on our Christmas tree this year!!!
First
cut your invitation into strips. Then roll them up somewhat tight..I
used a piece of tape to secure them. I also let them sit for a day prior
to placing them in the glass ornament just incase the tape gave way..
It did happen quite a bit!
I
won't lie..this project took me a while to complete! It also depends on
the size of ornament. Or you could just place the strips inside the
ornament.(see below) It takes like no time at all to complete. I think
it also depends on colors of your invitation. If you have a very
colorful invite it would look great. Since a huge part of my invite is
white I had to really try to keep the green showing as much as possible.
Soon
as we put up our Christmas tree I will snap some pictures of them! We
have one of our invitations framed and I love looking at it..but now I
get to use them again. It is such a great way to use your left over
invites..and have such a meaningful ornament.
