Convenient and Cute "Flake Seals" ♡
To all the brides-to-be, have you heard of "flake seals"? *
Regular stickers are sold with many stickers attached to a backing paper, but...
"Flake seals" are characterized by being cut into individual shapes ♡
They are sold at craft shops like LOFT and Hands, as well as at 100-yen shops, so many of you might have seen them before *
These flake seals are actually a handy item that works wonders for wedding DIY ♡
Today, I'll introduce some ways to utilize flake seals! *
Idea #1: Decorating Place Cards
Place cards for guests’ tables are one of the easier DIY paper items to create ♡
Many brides download illustrations online and put in a lot of effort to design them using Word or Excel, but you can easily create something cute with flake seals ♩
Since flake seals come in various designs, you can enjoy different designs for each one. It might be more convenient than downloading several different illustrations and editing them on your PC! *
Idea #2: Sealing Invitations
Flake seals are also great for sealing invitations ♡
Unlike regular stickers, each seal is relatively large, so you don’t have to worry about them peeling off. (Just to be safe, please stick them on after sealing with glue as well! *)
Sealing invitations with craft seals of flowers or leaves is adorable, and using specialized craft seals for invitations, like in this pic, is also great!
Idea #3: Reply Postcard Art
When receiving wedding invitations, you’d want to decorate your reply postcard cutely and send it back ♡
However, some might struggle with illustrations and not have the time to draw slowly... Perhaps some of you have faced this dilemma.
Using flake seals, you can easily decorate your reply postcard cutely! You can also cover up the "not attending" part with a seal ♩
It might just be the easiest reply postcard art ever! ♡
Idea #4: Garland
A staple wedding item, garlands. While ribbons and artificial flowers are popular for garland decorations, using flower flake seals can also be cute ♡
With artificial flowers, there’s the hassle of detaching the flowers from the stems and gluing them onto the garland, but with flake seals, you can just stick them directly! *
Idea #5: Wedding Certificate
Creating a wedding certificate or wedding tree with guests *
You can have guests stamp their fingers with ink onto paper, but if brides worry about getting hands dirty, it’s recommended to have them stick flake seals instead *
This way, they can easily stick them on, and the look will be vibrant ♡ Writing names on flake seals before sticking them is also a good idea.
Since there are various designs available like balloons, flowers, and stars, choose ones that fit your wedding theme ♩
Idea #6: Decorating Photos
An idea to decorate pre-wedding photos with flake seals ♡ You can make it vibrant by decorating with flowers and leaves, turning it into a welcome board as well *
Of course, you can also use them to decorate your wedding album after the ceremony.
The possibilities for what to use them for are expanding ♡
