Lavender invitation make it your self with real lavender

Kraft cardboard and the full colours of good dried lavender go together very well. Today I felt like doing a little DIY project. Make your own lavender invitation card from Kraft cardboard and lavender. You can, of course, buy envelopes and cards, but I happened to have Kraft cardboard. Besides, you can make your lavender invitation card so much more personal.

Kraft cardboard and the full colours of good dried lavender go together very well. Today I felt like doing a little DIY project. Make your own lavender invitation card from Kraft cardboard and lavender. You can, of course, buy envelopes and cards, but I happened to have Kraft cardboard. Besides, you can make your lavender invitation card so much more personal.

What you need:

  • Lavender flowers on stem
  • Cardboard
  • Knife
  • Embroidery thread or string
  • Ruler
  • Needle
  • if you want buttons to close the envelope

I cut the envelope to size with a knife. The card the same. The envelope is a long flap with two folds in the right place. Then you only have to close it on the two sides. I chose to sew that on with embroidery thread in a matching colour.

Heavenly scent and Melissa Lilac

I picked out two kinds of beautiful lavender flowers: heavenly scent, as the name suggests, with a wonderful scent and also a beautiful dark blue lavender flower. And Melilla lilac, an angustfolia that smells sweet and has a beautiful lilac colour.

How to attach the lavender stems to your invitation card?

Then it was a bit of a struggle to attach the lavender stems to the card.
I am not happy with all the options I made. At the end I like best the lavender invitation cards that where most simple to make. A hole or cut in the bottom where you put the lavender stem. Somewhere halfway you attach the lavender with the same embroidery thread, a bow on the back and that’s it.

Now I need to practise my lettering so I can send out my cards. 🙂
