Need a little inspiration for any glitzy parties? These invites are easy, inexpensive and look so glamorous!
What You Need:
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Ribbon
- Glitter Paper
- Mini Craft Gems
When I say inexpensive, I mean it… I found all the supplies for these at Dollarama! If you are ever searching for craft supplies, I recommend checking out your local dollar store as you never know what you might find there (and pay so much less than at some fancy pants craft store!).
- First, you need to cut the length of the ribbon for your bow. I used 4cm, 3cm, and 1.5cm lengths (you can adjust these to get the exact size you would like).
- Put a spot of glue in the centre of your ribbon piece – to find the centre I first folded the ribbon in half and had a tight squeeze to mark the centre.
- Fold the edges inwards, making sure they stick into the glue (you will need to work quickly with this part)
- Repeat steps one and 2 with the second piece of ribbon.
- You should now have 2 pieces of ribbon that look like this – one smaller than the other.
- Glue the smaller bow on top of the larger one.
- Wrap and glue the shortest piece of ribbon around the two others.
- Finish the bow with a gem.
- Glue your invitation text to the glitter paper across the top with a ribbon. Mine are handwritten since I don’t own a printer, but it is entirely up to you (I would recommend printing these out to save time and a sore hand!)
- Finish it off by attaching the bow to the centre with another dot of hot glue.
Have fun with these, and be pre-paired for glitter to get everywhere! (somehow, it manages that even when pre-glued to paper!)
