Canvas little bags as wedding favors

2010-03-07T23:06:00.000-08:00

We keep looking at wedding favors in little bags. Today we are showing a project with canvas bags —which you can find pretty easily in notions stores.

Materials
•    Canvas little bags
•    Thick mesh tape
•    Seals with hearts on squares
•    Glue
•    Scissors

Instructions

1. Cut a square from the mesh tape

2. Glue the seal to the mesh tape, and then the mesh tape over the canvas bag (you can check how to make the seals in our May 15, 2009 article).

3. The bags can be filled with candied almonds, candies or chocolates. We recommend you to check our September 6, 2009 article).

How to make a fan as wedding favor

2010-02-28T23:07:00.000-08:00

In many occasions, weddings take place in gardens or warm places where a fan can be pretty convenient to cool the guests.

I’m sharing with you an idea I saw in Anna Griffin’s website, where they show this fan that you can make pretty easily —and with a very low cost, too.

What you need is a rigid cardboard of any color, which will be the fan’s body. You will also need some paper with the names of the bride and groom and the wedding’s date printed on it. Then glue this paper on the cardboard. Finally, you will need a tongue depressor or a wooden stick, which you can get easily on any stationery or notions shop. For the finishing touch, use a little bow made with a ribbon.

You should try to make your own fans —you will find out that they look really cute.

Cards to designate seats for the wedding’s guests

2010-02-21T23:06:00.000-08:00

At the wedding’s reception, it is very practical to have the seats already designated with personalized cards featuring the guests’ names. This time we are showing a fabulous idea for cards in different shapes which, after a little cut on them, you can put at the edge of the glass. You only have to draw your desired shape, mirror it on the paper, cut it, fold it, do a little cut in the middle to put it in the glass’ base, and finally decorate and personalize them.

Wedding Invitation with red butterfly.

2009-12-06T06:12:00.000-08:00

This is an invitation that I did for the wedding of some friends. The red fine cardboard has a slight texture and A4 size. The invitation is decorated by a stamp of wax seal in the shape of butterfly and a golden ribbon.

The text is printed in computer on white fine cardboard and has small butterflies of vellum paper red color, had previously cut with an puncher of figure butterfly.

How to make faux sealing wax seals with silicone

2009-11-27T18:18:00.000-08:00

Today we are providing a video to show you how to make faux sealing wax seals with silicone and the same metal seals used to make real sealing wax seals. The faux sealing wax silicone has the advantage of being easier to use than regular silicone, since you need a little silicone gun, the same kind used in handicrafts, to melt it.

We provide you some tips that may be useful to make your wedding invitations in an easy manner.

1. You can make the seals separately and then glue them on the wedding invitations with white glue. You can make the seals on a glass surface or a Teflon tray as the ones used to bake cookies or pizza.
2. When you put the silicone on the surface, allow 20 seconds before putting the metal seal. This will keep you from smearing it or the silicone from sticking onto the seal.
3. Before you put the metal seal on the silicone, cool it with a cup of water and ice to keep it from being hot.
4. When you put the seal on the silicone, allow one minute letting the silicone cool —then you can easily remove the seal.
5. Before you use your bars of faux sealing wax silicone, use the transparent silicone bars to practice, since those are cheaper.
6. Use a silicone gun for each color; otherwise, your seals may have spots in other colors.

You will find silicone seals and the faux sealing wax silicone in our online store at detallesjade.com

Wedding invitations wax seals

2009-03-22T19:22:00.000-07:00

The day of our wedding we decided to use sealing wax seals golden and to be honest the experience was horrible, it was very difficult to melt the sealing wax bars, try to do it using a candle, but the wax melted before reaching the invitation and black soot staining.
What worked was to use many of the lighters involved to turn on the stove but the few labels that we make are easily broken and our family could not appreciate the image.

Today we managed to faux wax, you can buy at detallesjade.com with which the seals can be made only by using a silicon gun as those usually used for making handicrafts.

It is a pity to have discovered this after six years, as our invitations could be very nice with a detail of them.

These bars of faux wax can be found in our Online Store detallesjade.com .
We have them in three colors, burgundy, gold and silver, and have three beautiful designs of metal seals imported from Italy.

Here's a tip to have good results whit the seals:

1. Find a glass surface and it puts a bit of hot silicon (press 4 times the gun of silicon and this amount is sufficient).
2. Wait 10 seconds and put the seal on top and let it cool before you remove it.
3. When removing the metal stamp and you can remove the seal of the glass and silicon in this way can paste glue liquid to any surface (paper, cardboard, cloth, wood, glass, etc.).

Metal seals and silicone rod can buy in our online store Detalles JADE
