How to Make a Wedding Invitation Frame With Pretzels

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to put together this very elegant frame for a wedding invitation. Now before you do any of this, you have already taken the wedding invitation or the picture whatever you are going to put in there and you have already put it on your wax paper, traced it, laid out your pretzels, glued them and shellacked them and painted them; that part has already been finished. Then you have your product, the empty frame, and you want to take your ribbon and you want to weave the ribbon through the frame from the back to the front, going over a joint and under, over a joint and under all the way around. When you get back to the end, you are going to take your hot glue gun and draw a bead right down the joint, very carefully push your ribbon down in and then another bead on top of that for the other piece of ribbon. Then you are going to want to put your invitation on the back. It is really a good idea to take your glue, put it underneath and then also go across the top because it gives it a better bond. Once you have put your ribbon through your wreath, you are ready to embellish it. You want to lay it out, so that it pleases you before you glue anything on. I found stickers in the scrap booking section of the store that had a lot of things to do with weddings, but for this particular wedding, it was a very black and white wedding, and a very black and white frame. So I just chose the black and silver with the hint of pink and then I found these really nice little bows with the pearl that went with the pearl in the ribbon and put them on the frame as well and then on the back of this frame, we will put from here to here a little wire, so that this one will hang like a picture frame and not have anything sticking up like you would if you are making perhaps a wreath or an ornament. So you want to make sure that your words are all visible when you do your wreath so you put it around and make sure that it fits and it will be very special, completely unique, wonderful gift for that very special bride and groom, the Wedding Invitation Picture Frame.
