Beaded Wedding Invitation

You Will Need:

Draw a rectangle on the back of the front card panel 8 x 5cm. Use a sharp craft knife and a ruler to cut out the aperture. Use a pin to pierce a hole at the top and bottom of the aperture in the centre.

Cut some of the background paper to 100x210mm and stick it inside the card using double sided tape.

Thread a length of wire through the back of a medium sized button then thread it back through the front of the button. Thread beads onto the wire at the top of the button. Start with 6 rocaille beads followed by an e bead then 4 more rocaille beads. Thread a small button onto the wire in the same way as the medium one. Then thread 3 rocaille beads, an e bead and 3 more rocaille beads. Thread the wire back through the last bead to secure the end. Put the same beads onto the bottom of the wire and secure the end in the same way.

Thread each end of the wire through one of the pierced holes. Pass the wire through each hole a few times to hold it securely in place. Trim off the excess wire.

Stick border peel offs around the edges of the card and around the edges of the aperture. Complete the card with peel off wording.
