Lady Bug Invitation
What You'll Need:
- Brads (we used jeweled brads, which can be found at the craft store)
- Patterned Scrapbook paper
- Non-patterend Scrapbook Paper
- Google Eyes (We found girly ones with eyelashes at the craft store)
- Vellum
- Pipe Cleaners
- Paper Cutter, Scissors, etc.
- Clear, roll-on Double Sided Tape
- Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
- Recommended-Cricut Cutter
- This invitation is basically made-up of circles. A Circuit Cutter makes this MUCH easier, and more professional looking.
- Cut a circle in your non-patterend paper. (This will make up the body of the bug)
- Run your vellum through the printer with your wording (be sure you do this with a laser printer and fast-dry ink...otherwise you will have a smeared mess)
- Cut your vellum into a circle slightly smaller than your non-patterened circle.
- Adhere the velum to the non-patterend circle using the clear, roll-on double-sided tape. one small strip on the upper sides will do.
- Cut a circle from your patterned paper that is ever so slightly larger than your non-patterened circle. Fold your pattered paper in half and cut down the middle.
- Place the two half's of your patterned paper over the non-patterned/vellum circle. Slightly overlap in the middle. Secure with a brad. Use a brad hold-punch for a more professional look.
- Cut a small circle in your non-patterend paper, and cut in half (this will make up the head of the bug. You can use the other half on your next invite).
- Adhere the small half-circle to the body using the clear, roll-on double sided tape.
- Adhere google eyes with the roll-on double sided tape (put the tape on the eyes, then press them firmly onto the head).
- Cut and curl two small pieces of pipe cleaner. Adhere using hot glue.
