DIY invite flash! Plus a little help needed please!?

chocolatepickle, 8 February, 2010 at 12:35 Posted on Planning 0 4

This is my home made invite, i love it! I havent shown the inside though as its still plain. What do you think? I have a couple of questions though if anyone can help me, firstly just a little question, what glue are you supposed to get for these? Mines just a mock up so sellotaped up!


And secondly, my BIG problem! does anyone know where i can find more ribbon like the center of the invite!? The mock up was made with a 30cm strip of sticky ribbon from laura ashley, only they dont seem to sell it on the reel and i cant afford to buy 50 individual ones as they come in a small pack with other ribbons at £2 per pack...it would defeat the object of DIY! Im just looking for something similar, not an exact match, but i cant find anything-having hunted online for hours!! Any help More then welcomed! Thanks!

    Very pretty!

    I used a high bond double sided tape from a craft shop for mine. And the ribbon I bought from ebay at a bargain price!

    They are really pretty.

    I would suggest looking at ebay if you have not already.

    Hi Chocolatepickle,

    Invites are lovely...well done!

    I glue my wallets for my orders. Normal PVA glue applied with a paint brush then put undersomething heavy for 10mins to dry or strong Double sided tape. If you are looking for something to keep the flap shut then Stix2 do either small velcro tabs or magnets.

    Couple of places to try for ribbon:

    http://www.ribbonoasis.co.uk/index.php - try looking at the May Arts ribbons - they are beautiful.
