Creative wedding decorations: design a welcome sign and light bottle

Step 1: Prepare the decorative sign

Start by priming the wooden panel evenly with white craft paint. Allow the board to dry completely.

Step 2: Apply the napkin technique

Select your desired napkin motifs. Carefully tear or cut them out of the napkins and remove the two unprinted layers so that you only use the top printed layer. Then apply napkin varnish to the areas you want to design and place the printed napkin layer on top. Gently brush another layer of napkin varnish over it to fix the motifs in place. Coat the remaining part of the wooden board with the varnish and allow everything to dry thoroughly.

Step 3: Create lettering

Design your personalised lettering on the computer or print out our template. Then place graphite paper on the wooden board and transfer the lettering by tracing it with a pencil. Use a brush pen to trace the lines neatly and add the finishing touches to your sign.

Step 4: Decorate the light bottle

Cut a 13 x 23 cm strip of vellum paper and attach it around the glass vase using double-sided adhesive tape. Then cut a narrower strip measuring 10 x 23 cm, label it as you wish and attach it around the vase as well. Tip: To transfer the lettering easily onto the vellum paper, you can print it out on the computer beforehand and trace it.

Step 5: Insert the bottle light chain

Remove the safety strip from the battery compartment of your chain of bottle lights. Carefully unwind the wire of the chain of lights and insert it into the bottle vase. Then insert the "cork" into the opening to give the bottle the appearance of a real cork stopper.

Schritt 6: Satinband anbringen

Nimm ein Stück Satinband und versiehe es mit doppelseitigem Klebeband. Klebe es um die Mitte der Vase und, wenn du möchtest, um den Hals der Flaschenvase. Verleihe deinem Werk ein zusätzliches dekoratives Element, indem du das Band mit einer Schleife schließt.
