Lego Party invites

Supplies for carnival invitation

• Clipart circus template
• Striped patterned paper (we used scrapbooking papers
• sharp scissors or craft knife
• double sided tape adhesive

Step one

Sketch a basic tent shape onto card to use as a template for your invitations. Trace it onto white cardstock for the invitation backing and the striped card or patterned paper.

Cut out both tent shapes.

Here is the circus tent image we used for these invitations.

Cut the striped card tent into three separate pieces. The top of the tent, the left tent flap and the right tent flap.

Tape the top piece onto the white card carefully so that the edges of both cards are aligned.

Step five

Lay a strip of double sided tape along the left edge of the white card. Repeat for the right hand side.

Step six

Adhere the left and right tent flaps to the white backing card.

Step seven

Print your party invitation wording onto white card. Trim the card so that it fits comfortably inside the open tent flaps

Carefully open the card and adhere the wording to the inside with double sided tape

The finished circus invitation opened so that we can see the pary details on the inside.Try not to open the flaps too much or else they will have trouble staying closed.

If you like you can adhere a small pennant flag to the top of your tent.

You might also stick some circus animal stickers or embellishments to the outside or inside of the card.

Ribbon will also add some interest to these invites.
