PRINTING

Print your wording on to Pearlised Ivory Paper and Cut Down to size. The finished sizes should be:
Front Tag: 4cm x 4cm
Invitation Panel: 10cm x 10cm
Guest Information: 13.5cm x 13.5cm

FRONT

1. Cut a sheet of Luxury Lace Paper 13.5cm x 13.5cm. Stick to the front of your pocket, making sure that your borders are even.
2. Peel off a row of 4mm self-adhesive pearls. Starting at one corner of the lace paper, press the row in to place along the edge of the lace paper. When you reach the end of the paper, cut off any excess pearls, and start the process again on the joining side. Your aim is to have a border of pearls all the way around the lace paper. When you reach the end of a row of pearls, just peel off another row and press it against the end of the last row.
3. Cut a piece of Pearlised Ivory Card 4.5cm x 4.5cm. Stick your front tag on top of the card.
4. Peel off a row of 2mm self-adhesive pearls and stick into place around the edge of the panel using the same technique as previous.
5. Use mini mounting pads to stick the front tag to the centre of your card (on top of the lace paper). Make sure that your borders are even.
