For my daughters space themed wedding
I couldn't find a card holder that
really worked well with the theme
so I made one!
It started with 50/50 mix
of glue and water
and Sunday's newspaper
I found if I mixed it and put
it back into the empty
bottle and used it to
spray a small amt
it worked best
Now I will say this is VERY messy!
I started covering it with the colored pages
of the paper and alternated
with black and white print
this kept me straight on which layer
I was on
I did 5 total layers
I left an area big enough for the slot for card
and a hand to fit into
The last layer I used a paperbag
Once all covered I let it dry for
4 days
I then covered it with jet black paint
I let that dry for a day
Then drew the constellations
on it.
I picked the astrological signs
of the bride, groom and their children
I then added when they 1st met, engaged, and married
I filled in with their favoite ones.
I used othe old school method of
pencil to transfer then used
a silver fine point paint pen
After that I put 2 layers
of Modpodge
I let that dry for a day
then I cut the slot out of the ball
and gently pulled the ball out
I decided it needed some bling
so I used one row of rhinestones
For the base i covered a stryofoam ring
from the Dollar Tree
with satin ribbon
and add rhinesotn bling from the Dollar Tree
