As this is the first Christmas for my husband and me, I’ve been searching the stores for a special ornament to portray our love for years to come. Unfortunately, I’ve left empty handed many times and decided a DIY project would be best. Photos of wedding invitation ornaments have been all over Facebook, Pinterest and blogs. I found a great tutorial on from glitter to gumdrops, located my box of leftover wedding invitations sitting in my living room, visited Michael’s and $5.00 later, I had all the supplies I needed. I chose to use ribbon from my wedding to further incorporate the details from our special day.

Supplies:

Wedding Invitation

Fillable ornament

Paper Slicer or Scissors and Ruler

Ribbon

Charm

Pen

Instructions

Step 1: Cut your invitation into 1/4” strips with your paper slicer. Make sure your important elements, such as names, location, etc. are cut within the parameters.

 Step 2: Curl each strip around a pen. Apply pressure for tighter curls.

Step 3: Place curls inside ornament.

Step 4: Once filled to your liking, pinch the lid of the ornament and seal shut.

Step 5: Add decorative ribbon and charm. You’re done!
