DIY Friday: Homemade Wedding Books
Posted on January 7th, 2011 by Jeannie. Filed under Do It Yourself, Favors.
Gift these sweet homemade blank books to your weddings guests as mementos of the fun day. Total cost per book is less than .25 cents and they are super easy to make! Three cheers go out to Chelsea Fuss for assembling this innovative idea.
You will need:
Scissors
A sewing machine
A paper cutter
Muslin fabric
Graph paper
Parchment paper
A computer or typewriter
Fabric stiffener (iron on or spray works great and is available at most fabric stores)
1. Iron or spray on the fabric stiffener to the muslin.
2. Cut out pieces 3″ tall and 5″ long.
3. Use a paper cutter to cut pieces of graph paper 3″ tall and 4.5″ long.
4. Cut a piece of parchment paper 3″ tall and 4.5″ long.
5. Type on a computer (in a typewriter font) or use a typewriter to type a thank you message to your guests.
6. Piece the book together: muslin, parchment paper, title page (with message), and graph paper pages.
7. Fold in half and press with an iron.
8. Sew down the center.
9. Display in a wooden box with a message.

This is wonderful. A very simple but unique way of an invitation card to a wedding. And it’s very personalized.

I know someone who is about to get married and I’m definitely sending her the link to this article right now! Great article by the way.

These are so unusual and they are a useful wedding favor. The guests can carry these in their bags or pockets for when they have an idea they just have to write down.
