Wedding season is upon us! I always feel like giving cash is so impersonal. I know that more often than not, that is exactly what the couple wants/needs, but I can't help but want to give a little something else! My cousin received a Christmas ornament with her baby shower invitation in it, and I thought it was a super cute keepsake. So, I thought, why not do this for a wedding invitation! Not only did the ornament turn out really great, but it was super cheap, too!
 |
| What I used: a plain glass ornament, scissors, my cutter glide tool, the wedding invitation, and a pencil. |
 |
| I found this 4 pack of ornaments at Hobby Lobby for $6.99. Plus, I used this 40% off coupon! |
 |
| The ornaments are about 3 inches in diameter. |
 |
| Are you ready for the hard part? The first step is to cut about a centimeter in width piece of the invitation and roll it around a pencil. I tried to cut each line of text as 1 strip. This way, you can shake the ornament around and find different lines like names, time, place, etc. |
 |
| Once you roll the strip of paper around a pen or pencil, you can fit it through the opening at the top of the ornament (you have to pull the top off first, obviously) |
 |
| I will note that since many invitations are printed white paper on top of cardstock, you may have to gently pull the printed paper apart from the cardstock. It's kinda hard to see in this picture since the cardstock was silver and the printed paper was white, I did cut strips of the cardstock to put in the ornament, too. This adds some color and variety to the ornament. I also tried to cut slightly different widths of paper to allow for some variety. |
 |
| And there you have it! A finished product. You can even see the line that shows the brides name and the time of the wedding in this picture! |
Happy Wedding Season!
