Motifs for the birthday

    2. Create a creative invitation for the diamond wedding

    Your parents or grandparents are about to have a diamond wedding and you would like to ...

  2. You can get colored construction paper in any stationery or craft store. For the noble variant you can z. B. only use dark blue construction paper and work on this with a silver pen and stickers, also in silver.
  3. The basis is always the same, the design is entirely up to you. A4 sheets are best.
  4. You fold this in the middle, so that you already have the basic structure.
  5. Now take a sheet of crepe or tracing paper and cut the edges wavy all around so that it is smaller than the card itself afterwards, and fold it in the middle as well.
  6. With the gel pens, glitter pens or normal felt-tip pens, you can now put your artistic skills to the test on the front of the card. Paint, write and paste.
  7. Place the crepe paper on which your invitation text will later be placed exactly in the middle of the cardboard so that both edges are exactly on top of each other.
  8. Cut a 40 cm long strip of wrapping paper and tie it vertically to the fold of the two papers. This keeps the inner part where it should be and if you curl the protruding ends of the wrapping paper a little, you have conjured up a small present.
  9. Only after you are satisfied with the design of the invitation cards do you start with the inner part.
