DIY Confetti Glassine Envelopes Tutorial ~ UK Wedding Blog ~ Whimsical Wonderland Weddings

 

Opps i have gone crafting mad, and instead of holding off i just had to share this with you asap hehe!!

Are you craving a new idea other than the confetti cone? I know i am and so this is a super simple yet really effective way of adding some fun and personality into your day. I keep seeing graphic details and glassine envelopes, so thought they were the ideal way to hold your home made confetti. They will look super cute lined up on a tray or on your guest’s seats.

It’s really inexpensive to create and quite satisfying punching out those shapes. The great thing is you can customise to your wedding, print on the envelope a phrase, your names, the date, stamp your wedding motive of go for the had written option like me. You can go for one colour, or several, try alternatives to paper too like glitter or sequins.

I did want to make the shapes in tissue paper, but be warned they don’t cut well with the punches :-)

3. Secure your envelopes with some glitter glue, or nail varnish like me. You could always use tape or a sticker though.
