Adding personal touches to decorations at your wedding can make the big day more romantic and memorable. With just a few easy steps, you can create garlands to place on the head table, guest tables, the cake table and beyond.
1. Prepare your photos
Cut out a wallet size photo of the two of you with a 2-inch punch.
2. Cut paper
Create a pair of 2-inch punches of card stock, selecting a color that coordinates with your wedding palette.
3. Create dots
With a 1-inch punch, make four circles. For a fun effect, use two different colors of card stock, punching two circles of each shade.
4. Add the photo
Cut a length of twine to your desired size. Coat the back of each card stock circle with a thin layer of acid-free photo-safe glue. Place the twine over top of the card stock circle. Place the photo on top of the twine, creating a sandwich over the twine. Press the photo to the card stock.
Pro tip
Use acid-free, photo-safe glue to keep photos from curling, wrinkling or yellowing over time.
5. Glue the dots
Apply a thin layer of glue to one of the dots and place it underneath the twine. Make a sandwich by placing the dot in the matching color over top. Press to glue. Repeat with the second set of dots.
6. Make the garland
Repeat Steps 1 to 5 until you have a garland the desired length. String the garland across the tables as desired.
