Homemade Candy Invitations
Made for my daughters 10th birthday party, this invitation was made at approx. 5x7 inches using a clean sans
serif font to appeal to the graphic bold feel. I used all digital elements to
create the paper portion of the invite and printed it on glossy paper for a
more youthful look.
Supplies
- Clear covered gift boxes
- Gum balls
- Several bright colored ribbons
- Scissors, computer, printer and other craft bits and pieces.
Method
- I purchased online these clear covered gift boxes that are only a little over one inch deep.
- I made each invitation on my computer with Photoshop making it as bright and as colorful as I could to create the gumball candy look. Notice the Photograph of my daughter beside a gumball machine.
- I placed one invite in each box and embellished with the large size gum balls.
- Then each invite was tied off with a beautiful big ribbon bow and sent on it's way.
- I hand delivered as many as I could to keep my cost down! The box was less than two dollars and the gum balls , good ribbon and paper printing all brought the cost to about four dollars each or less. Happy creating!
