Step 1

Protect your work area!

Decide how you want to preserve the wedding invitation. You can use a wooden jewelry box or empty wooden box to utilize however you or the person this is for would like to.

Now take the wedding invitation and center this on your choice of object you will be using whether it be a plaque or wooden (jewelry) box. Glue it down with your craft glue and press out any air bubbles so it will not be lumpy. Clean any excess glue and allow to dry.
