1 – Needed to make your chair back:
• Medium card or thin board, minimum of 300 gsm to make lettering
• Thin white or silver card to make stars
• Silver spray paint
• Silver glitter
• PVA glue
• Scalpel
• White or silver thread
• Ribbon in your wedding colours 1.5 ms per colour
2 – Hand draw your lettering on to your cardboard and cut out carefully. Size to be determined by the dimensions of your chairs. Tip – If your handwriting isn’t spot on, print your lettering using a home
printer and transfer onto the card using carbon type writing paper.
3 – Spray paint your lettering in Silver (or your preferred colour).
4 – Once dry, coat your lettering in PVA glue and cover with a generous helping of glitter.
5 – Create a template of a five pointed star and cut out x 20 using your thin plain white card.
6 – To create your garland, you will need:
• Card stars
• White or silver thread
• Ribbon in your wedding colours
7 – Using a tiny spot of PVA, glue these to your thread to create a garland of stars.
8 – Leave to dry.
9 – Fix your lettering to your star garland using PVA.
10 – Tie your ribbons together using two knots, leaving 45 cm on each side – these will be the ties for your chair back.
11 – Glue the top two stars of your garland to the knots created in your ribbon garland using PVA. Leave to dry. I Do!
12 – Moi Aussi!
13 – Et Voila!
