Handmade Silk Invitation Boxes.0.2.3.1.1
Creating silk invitation boxes can put together a fanciful appeal and ambiance to your wedding and even for any other special event in your life. Aside from the very whimsical look, this invitation theme permits you to incorporate all the vital items that will make your wedding day truly exceptional.
Actually, a customized silk box wedding invitation will let you make a distinct version of a time capsule where you can place memorable items to commemorate your big day. Some materials you will need include silk fabric, plain cardboard boxes, fabric and paper glue, double-sided tape, scissors, paper cutter, ruler, pencil, ribbon, and other accessories and decorations of your choice. Your handmade silk invitation boxes can store your handmade jewelry, wedding jewelry, fine jewelry, or costume jewelry.
Gauge the exterior dimension of the box. Trace the box in a decorative paper using a pencil. It’s better if you place an additional quarter of an inch when you trace the lid of the box. This will ensure that you have sufficient paper to surround the lid in its entirety. Use the paper cutter or scissors to cut the traced paper. You can then apply the adhesive. Use the paper glue as well as double-sided tape on the paper’s backside. Apply glue as well onto the box to ensure that it is appropriately arranged. Get rid of the wrinkles and air pockets by smoothing out the paper with the use of your hands or a ruler. Wrap the corners of the box lid, the same way you wrap a gift box.
The side of the lids should be surrounded by ribbon to get a finished and elegant look. Place the silk fabric to the boxes. Make certain that you have enough silk fabric to enclose the sides and bottom of the boxes. Use the fabric glue to affix the silk fabric and the box together. Brink the silk fabric up and over into the box interior, creasing it to taut and glue in the right place.
Put your printed invitation carefully inside the box. You can apply glue or double-sided tapes so the invitations sit securely in the bottom part when the box is opened. You can then incorporate and append other accessories and finishing touches to your wedding invitation boxes. You can add glass beads, embellishments, and even glitters.
