    Yeah - from scratch, lol! It was a good idea initially, lol!!

    The bunting is patterened paper, stuck to card - threaded through a suede cord. Then just bought 15 sheets of A1 grey card and made thie little paper folds & designed the text and printed them on to lighter grey card.

    I'm really pleased with them, actually!! Smiley smile

    They're all magnetic, so they can stick them to the fridge! Smiley smile

    Wow, I like the magnet idea. You are very talented/have lots of patience. If I was to attempt that it would look like my 7 year old sisters had done it!

    Are you planning on making your own invites as well?

    They are fantastic! You are very talented. When you say they are magnetic, do you mean the invites or the bunting? How does that work?

    Wow! I'm overwhelmed! Thanks so much everybody!

    I'm normally unbelievably clumsy when it comes to this sort of thing, haha. I don't get on well with PVA glue at all and always leave smudgy marks everywhere!

    However, I've tried to keep the use of PVA to a minimum, so I think this has been my saving grace!

    I bought myself a little trusty paper/card scorer, I think this has really helped, too!

    Really pleased with how they turned out! ?

    Thank you so much for all of your lovely words!!

    I will answer the individual questions next!! ? x

    Hi Raindrop! ?

    I bought 30 metres of magnetic tape! (Far, far too much, hahah!)

    It's self adhesive, so you can chop it and stick it wherever you like!

    I have magnets on the fold itself and on the bunting, so that the bunting can stick to the fridge, too!

    Hope this helps! x

    Hi TM2TW!

    The font, I just designed it on Photoshop to the right size and then printed them on to a light grey card. Then cut that out and stuck it to the darker grey card! Smiley smile x
