• Scissors

Steps to follow:

• For writing invitation details I used a plain white sheet approx 1.75” wide. Print all the details on them and carefully cut them out in strips whilst leaving the top & bottom.
• To jazz up these plain invites, cut out a blue strip and add a border to the invite approx 1.9” wide. Push your creativity, fold and tape it like an accordion.
• Get some store bought blue butterflies and hot glue them to the top of the invites. Go for hot glue only for sticking to insure they remain intact when pulled out of the box.
• Now fold your beautiful butterfly invite and place them in the 2”x2” box, with butterfly facing upwards.
• Tie them up with blue ribbon resembling a pretty bow.
• To give it an elegant finishing, make a ‘you are invited’ tag using blue paper to go with it.
