Design: Just Lovely Wedding Invitation in Blaze

Technique #1 – Glitter

This is a terrific way to add sparkle and dimension to existing beautiful designs. Simply choose one or two elements that you would like to glitter. Try to match your shade of glitter to the design if you can. Add a little glue to the area and then shake the glitter over the wet glue. Make sure the glue is entirely covered with glitter and shake off the excess. Let dry on a flat surface.

Technique #2 – Bling on a Roll

Using any type of ‘bling on a roll’ – ours happens to be pearls, cut strips and add to line breaks in your invitation design. See how we placed the pearls along the edge of the black design and the picture… almost like the pearls were supposed to be there.

Technique #3 – Burlap

Our favorite of all three techniques! Since everyone is crazy about burlap, take your rustic wedding invitation and mount it on a piece! Cut pieces of burlap that are 1″ larger than the height and the width of your invitation. Pull three strands of burlap away from each side to get the frayed look. Spray a coat of strong hairspray on each side of the burlap to easily keep it from fraying. Pierce each corner of your invitation and place a brad through the invitation and burlap. Just a few steps to a achieve this stand-out design. Keep in mind you will need a larger envelope for mailing!

CRAFTERS TIP // Cutting along one woven thread of burlap will always ensure a straight cut and less fraying – like you were taught in school, stay within the lines.
