Wooden Heart drop guestbook

daisymoo86, 24 of June of 2015 at 10:57 Posted on Planning 0 8

I keep seeing these and love the idea of them however the ones I've seen range from £60 -£120 and it seems a lot for something that you could essentially put together yourself.

I've found the laser cut wooden hearts on eBay for £8 for the number I would need at the larger size I would want (4cms). However, now I would need to find a box frame with a drop hole at the top. Any ideas where I could maybe find one of these?

TIA

    I'm buying my 'make your own' kit from here - it looks like it includes spacing strips as well as giving advice on what size frame to buy:

    Thanks

    I think what I still don't understand from that one though is how the hearts would get 'posted' in at the top by the guests?

    I think with that pack from ebay you have to cut the hole yourself and attach the "post here" slot to the hole.

    Ah that makes sense, thank you. I have emailed the Seller for them to confirm that also. But looking at it then, I could buy the hearts I have seen for £8, buy a slim box frame, pop a hole in the top and that's the same thing. Obviously make it look fancy etc. But so much cheaper than buying a pre done one.

    We got one from here: http://www.spencerbrookesdesigns.co.uk/ourshop/cat_960612-Guest-Books.html

    Ours was £40 delivered, the design isn't on there cos we sort of made it up- it's an A3 frame with 50 stars to go inside, and one large heart with our names and wedding date engraved on.

    We're making our own. Bought a large box frame on eBay for 17.50 and hearts from eBay for about 4 quid! Going to cut the hole in the top.

    Would you mind sharing the frame you have gone for? Also, how will you cut a hole in the top? Thanks for any help!

    I'll try and find the one I bought. It was about a year ago and I've had a quick search in emails and looked in eBay history but can't find it.

    It was about 17 quid and I think it was a3 size. It's also painted grey as that's our colour scheme. Search shadow box frames on eBay!

    Not 100% sure on cutting a hole yet... Hmm! I did find a tutorial somewhere online though.
