The Magical Item That Makes Everything Chic: Tracing Paper
When it comes to handmade paper items for weddings, the semi-transparent paper "tracing paper" is a must-have material ♡
The stylish transparency of tracing paper instantly elevates the sophistication of any paper item, making it feel magical.
Ways to use tracing paper include:
☑ Using it as an envelope for invitations
☑ Layering it over thank-you tags
☑ Using it as a band for travel expense envelopes
There are many options, but...
Today, I'll introduce a particularly enthusiastic DIY idea for one of the wedding preparations: a "welcome board"! ♩
Just Layer It! A Chic Welcome Board DIY with Transparency ♡
Here’s a welcome board made with tracing paper!
It features a favorite photo with the words "Welcome," the couple's names, and the date printed on tracing paper layered over it and placed in a frame.
The photo of the happy couple can be seen behind the text, making it incredibly cute, unique, and stylish!
【Wedding DIY】 Just Three Things You Need ♡
The construction is very simple.
The materials needed are:
① A frame or photo frame in your desired size
② A printed photo of the same size as the frame
③ Tracing paper
Just these three items.
Create a design on your computer, print it on the tracing paper, layer it with the photo, and place it in the frame. It's complete! You’ll be amazed that such a chic welcome board can be made so easily! ♡
However, be careful as tracing paper can be tricky to print on with standard home printers, and A4 sizes or larger may not be available at stationery stores.
If you have a nearby 'Kinko's,' you can print both photos and tracing paper in A3 size, so bringing your data there is recommended.
