 Custom Search DIY Matron or Maid of Honor CardThis diy maid of honor card is a great way to ask your friend to be your maid or matron of honor at your wedding! The following tutorial was submitted by Tenchia, one of our readers. Tenchia writes:I wasn't sure how to ask my best friends to be my maid and matron of honor at my wedding. I saw a few ideas online that were cards, so I decided to make my own.  I started out with a piece of 12 x 12 black cardstock and cut it in half (i made 2 from this). I folded the pieces both in half to make a card and I then took scrap pieces of cardstock that I got from a craft store and cut out a dress shape. (You can buy a bag of scrap cardstock...different colors and shapes at your local craft store) I cut a small piece of cardstock and glued it onto the dress to make it look like a sash. I wanted the dress to stand out a little more from just the black cardstock, so I used a piece of white computer paper and used scrapbook scissors to shape a rectangle. I then glued this white paper onto the black cardstock so that I had a black border. Next I glued the dress onto the white part of the card and I used tissue paper to make a small flower and glued it onto the sash. (To do this: fold a piece of tissue paper severa times and then cut it into a small circle. I threaded a piece of string through the center of the collection of tissue circles to hold them together. I them started with the top circle and crunched it up. Once you crunch all the circles, it will look like a flower.) I printed out a clipart picture of the word "love" on my printer and glued it onto scrap cardstock and then to the card to give it more detail.  On the inside I glued a poem that I found online asking my friend to be my Matron of Honor. This was a very inexpensive project since I had all of this lying around the house. I'm sure my friends are going to love it! And yours will too! Return to the top of the Maid of Honor Card page. Return to the Do It Yourself Wedding Invitations section.
