Don't have access to a printer?
If you do not have access to a printer then you can make a template by simply grabbing some firm card (from a cereal box or similar) a medium to large sized plate, pencil, ruler and craft knife.
- Firstly cut out a rectangle card that measures 4.25" x 8.25"(width x height)
- Measure down from the top 2.5" and make a mark with pencil on both sides of the card
- Measure in from the left top corner 1.25" and mark with the pencil. Do the same for the rhs.
- Take your plate and line it up on the left hand side with the left side mark and the top lhs mark and trace around the plate. Repeat for the rhs.
- Now mark the point for the fold 2 3/4" up from the bottom of the card.
- Now cut out the curves and you have your invitation template
- Done
