Going over Internet articles and how-to instructions has been my recent addiction. I can't help raving about these fantastic DIY projects. For instance, I've been lurking in forums finding cheap options to cut our wedding budget. With just 100,000 PHP in our plate, Francis and I know that it'll be one heck of a trip to the thrift shop.
The guestbook is not as salient as other weddings musts (i.e. wedding gown, rings, reception, church, and food). This, however, doesn't mean that we'll take this piece for granted. Your attendees may have pretty much to say to you, and what better way to have them voice their opinion than to allow them to sign your guestbook.
Mind you, there are thousands of "craftastic" ideas out there in the open (waiting for you to discover). Take for example this amazing scrapbook idea, which I may implore as our guestbook inspiration.
Materials
3 sheets solid cardstock 8-1/2" square
2 pieces patterned paper 5-1/2" square
2 pieces chipboard or cardboard 4-1/2" square
Four different coordinating papers cut to a little less than 4-1/4" square. You will need a total of 10 squares to cover the inside squares of the book.
Ribbon, 1 yard
Embellishments and photos of your choice.
OR
3 sheets solid cardstock 12" square
2 pieces patterned paper 8-1/2" square
2 pieces chipboard or cardboard 6-1/2" square
Four different coordinating papers cut to a little less than 6-1/2" square. You will need a total of 10 squares to cover the inside squares of the book.
Ribbon, 1 yard
Embellishments and photos of your choice
Steps
1. Folding: Take the paper and fold in half lengthwise in one direction and repeat it in the other direction. Make sure that you'll be forming a cross by meeting the center. Try folding the paper (from lengthwise) to form a mountain. Do not repeat the step as you should only create one diagonal fold. Do the folding to the other sheets of paper.
