The Stylish Foreign-Inspired Design of Paper Items is Unmatched ♡

Brides who DIY their paper items for the wedding.

Just because you're making them yourself doesn't mean you want to convey a "beginner feel" or a "we tried really hard" vibe, or give off an "inexpensive" impression, right?

It would be wonderful to create something as cute as a professional without compromising on quality or appearance ♡

So, let me introduce you to some paper item ideas that look super fashionable and are not too difficult or tedious to make (← important)!

This is the 【Gold Edging】 ***

The design is simple yet has an antique feel, with the edges of the paper outlined in gold, giving it a foreign vibe ♩

Can I really create such stylish paper items by myself...? How exactly do I do it...?

You might initially think that, but when you look at the instructions, it's surprisingly easy! I'll explain in detail how to DIY it ♡

You'll just need embossed paper and a gold marker*

The two materials needed to DIY this gold-edged paper item are these:

✓ Embossed paper sold at Daiso

✓ Gold permanent marker

(Seems like the "Mickey" brand is the most sparkly and popular!)

And the steps to make it are:

① Print text on the embossed paper

② Tear around the printed text on the paper

③ Outline the torn edges with the gold permanent marker

And you're done!

It may feel a bit uneasy or resistant to tear the paper, but as long as you don't tear too much so that the sizes are off balance or it looks overly diagonal, it’s all good*

You'll end up with charming paper items with slightly different shapes, one by one ♡

Recommended for table numbers and place cards*

The gold-edged paper items are most popular as designs for guest table numbers ♡

The size of the embossed paper from Daiso is just right for placing on guest tables, and with about 8 to 10 tables, you're likely to avoid fatigue since you can see the end in sight!

You’ll create an overseas-style chic table coordination ♩

(By the way, this bride seems to be using marble paper bought from Shimojima)

Besides table numbers, it's also recommended to use them as guest place cards.

Preparing place cards for a large wedding might be a bit challenging, but with such stylish place cards, you'll want to take lots of photos before sitting down ♩

Of course, writing names in English makes them even more lovely ♡
