What to do with wedding cards? Make pop-up wedding invitations. Too cute!
Pop-up Wedding Invitations Instructions
- Cut out the scrapbook paper to fit the frame.
- Using two of the rustic wedding invitations, cut out pieces of the embellishments (in our case we chose the leaves).
- *If necessary, run the Sharpie around the edge of the cut invitation pieces. The inside of our unique wedding invitations was white, so it was necessary to use a black marker to mask the white edge.
- Using the hot glue gun, glue the decorative elements to the in-tact invitation in layers. The goal is to have these pieces 3-dimensional, so do not press down on the hot glue dots you use. Also, be sure to be very neat with the glue when gluing.
- Once the pieces are dry. Glue the full DIY wedding card to the scrapbook paper.
- Insert the scrapbook paper into the frame. If the frame has glass, place the glass behind the scrapbook paper to keep it intact.
