I've been at it this week, decorating and creating. Well, I am planning a Christmas party and thought it would be fun to create invitations! That launch my next project. Surprisingly the inspiration came quite quickly and I was off and creating.
Above is a finished product.
I used construction paper, a plastic bag, copy paper, a sharpie pen, and glue. To make the snowflakes I used http://highhopes.com/snowflakes.html's example and it worked very well! I picked a size for the invitation and cut the construction paper accordingly.
For the back of the invitation I thought of a "catchy" phrase, wrote one out and then color photocopied the rest. I wanted a personalized touch, but did not want to write all of them. They photocopied quite well.
Also for the back, I put some red paper behind the information to add some flair. =) And simple glued it. I then glued the snowflake down. After I thought I was done, I was "admiring" my work and felt like they just weren't complete...
...don't you agree??
So, I hunted around my entire apartment and could not find any kind of ribbon, but I did find a Vanity red, plastic bag. I cut strips and tied a little bow in the corner and it made them complete!
Now onto the party planning and yummy treat baking!
