DIY: Scratch Off Cards

It's more of a proof of concept than anything. I wanted to know how long will it take to create these scratch off cards. We're planning on using it in one of the reception activities. It's tedious but I can imagine this as something that guests will find fun... and a prize awaits the lucky winner.

Cut the scratch off cards

Put a tape over the scratch off area. Tape it on a scratch paper

Use a craft tape for areas not to be painted over

Using 2 parts acrylic paint and 1 part dish washer liquid soap, paint over the taped area

When the paint dries off, remove the crafting tape

Cut off the scratch paper

Have to practice with acrylic paint

Sample scratch off

The cards came off a little too big so we'll have to resize that. The acrylic paint is also sloppy but hopefully we could smooth it out. And yeah, we'll change the paper... probably something lighter.

300 scratch off cards.... LET'S DO THIS!

Accio Book Wedding Ring Holder

We love books, and we love Harry Potter. What better way to add this little detail in our wedding by having our DIY book wedding ring holders. We saw this from one of the DIY websites and thought it was a nice project to do since we can't do much prepping from overseas.

We saw this book at one of the 2nd hand bookshops in Bras Basah Complex. We were instantly drawn to the lone hardcopy of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was easier for us to decide on this because we don't speak German. Another plus is it's my favorite book in the series. I also don't think I can bear to butcher the other books that were in English...

Sorry JK for butchering this book

Turn to page 81

Up close (and still a lot of x-actoing to do).

We still lack the ribbon that will bind the whole book but it's close to being finished. And yea, the rings too... we need to buy a pair soon.
