Embellished place cards

I ordered these place cards but they were plain. I spray painted them gold and then put each persons name on them using scrapbooking layering.

    Thank you, Sasha. I started gathering materials 8 months ago and chipped away at it. I guess I just like personalizing my wedding. It's my way of making it "different"from the rest. Also, I love saving money so I make things instead of buying them.

    Yes, Erin. Excited but also a little panicky. I still have to decorate my arch, colour my hair, get my nail done, finalize the details and pay the venue.

    It was just what I had at home already. Home hardware Beautitone lacquer, #****. I found it to be a little brown in tone. If I were to do it again, I would have bought a lighter gold. But I'm running out of time now with only 8 days left.!!

    Thanks, Jen. Just some spray paint and newspaper. The important thing was to spray them evenly.

    Thanks, Chelsea. I ordered them from Wish months ago. When they arrived, they were very blasé so out came the spray paint!

    This was really delicate work. A few times I just wanted to throw them at the wall. But I persevered and did a few each day, using an exacto knife to cut the edges evenly.
