"Don't Throw Away Your Wedding Gift Money Envelopes with Over 3000 Likes! Let's Challenge Ourselves with 'Mizuhiki Art'!"

Do you know Mizuhiki art?

At weddings, guests give monetary gifts. After receiving them, the envelopes usually have no particular use, but since they contain the feelings of celebration from the guests, it feels a bit painful to throw them away.

However, keeping them can surprisingly take up space, and since they're neither photographs nor letters, you might not look back at them, causing them to just gather dust in a drawer…!

The solution to that problem is "Mizuhiki art," which uses the decorative strings from the gift envelopes ♡

The decorative Mizuhiki, filled with the guests' heartfelt wishes, can be gathered and displayed like this. It's a groundbreaking idea to repurpose the gift envelopes, isn’t it? ♩

(When introduced on Marry’s account, it always becomes popular too! ♡)

Here are some decorative patterns to reference when creating a Mizuhiki board＊

Pattern ① Attach to a board

The first introduction is an idea for decorating frames, photo frames, cork boards, and more.

You can create a vibrant arrangement using the paper and Mizuhiki from the gift envelopes＊

It's popular to place a photo from the wedding day or a pre-wedding shoot in the center. It's also recommended to display a group photo with all the guests taken at the wedding＊

Since Mizuhiki has thickness, it's recommended to prepare a frame with some depth to make it easier to display. It’s also perfect for new home decor ♡

Pattern ② Make a Mizuhiki wreath

Next, I’d like to introduce the idea of making a wreath from Mizuhiki ♡ Wreaths are auspicious items that symbolize continuity and eternity ♩

You can leave the center of the wreath as is, or you can decorate it with a photo, making it like a photo frame.

The method is simply to attach it using a glue gun to a simple commercially available wreath. Since there is a base, you can make it easily even if you're not good at crafts ♩

A smaller wreath fills up relatively quickly, so it might be nice to create 2 or 3 in various patterns＊

Pattern ③ Gather them into one lump

Finally, the idea I would like to introduce is to gather only the Mizuhiki into one lump＊

Unlike frames or wreaths, you are free to make it in any shape or size you like, which is appealing ♩

Here it is layered in a smaller, three-dimensional way.

Making it in a heart shape is also lovely ♡

As you imagine how to gather them, let’s connect them a little at a time ♩

After the wedding, let’s try making "Mizuhiki art" ♩

"Mizuhiki art" made from the Mizuhiki of the gift envelopes received from guests is an item filled with their heartfelt wishes and is likely to become a lifelong treasure ♡
