Birthday Party Invitations

DIY Birthday Party Invitations

Megan Ally
Have you ever wanted to make cute and fun party invitations? Well, these invitations are cheap, easy to make, and they can work for any occasion.

First, I will teach you how to make a flower invitation.
Materials:
Large Fake Flower (Fabric flowers work better than silk flowers. You will need one flower per invitation)
Leaves From the Flower (1-2 leaves per invitation)
Fabric Paint in the Color of Your Choice
Hot Glue Gun

Now, to begin the decoration of the invitations.
1. First, begin by getting a large flower and the fabric paint.
2. On the pedals at the top of the flower, write "You're Invited!" (or whatever you want your invitation to be titled) with the fabric paint.
3. If desired, you can write the person's name on the pedals as well.
4. Next, write the details (such as who, what, where, when, etc.) on the leaf of the flower.
5. Finally, attach the leaf to the back of the flower using a hot glue gun.
6. All finished! Now you can deliver the invitations to all of your guests!
