DIY PROJECT: COOTIE CATCHERS Yep, you read that right. This is a total throw back to grade school…in the best possible way. Our favorite weddings are those that are infused with a bit of spunk and this particular DIY, crafted by the lovely ladies at Posh Paperie and photographed by the always fabulous Jackie Wonders, is exactly that. Place these babies on every guests' placesetting and you have the recipe for a really fun, really charming reception. If you can't already tell…we're totally smitten. Supplies: Paper, Tracing Paper, Pen, Scissors, Ink, Copier
Step #1: Cut 8.5 x 8.5 square on regular paper (copy paper).
Step #2: Fold corner to corner. Open up and fold opposite corner to corner.
Step #3: Fold outer corner to center (Repeat with all 4 corners) to make a square.
Step #4: Flip over and repeat Step #3: Outer corner to center (x 4) to make a square.
Step #5: Fold paper in half.
Step #6: Form cootie catcher.
Step #7: Write desired phrases on squares as template. For example {what we wrote}:
Outer most flaps = bride name, groom name, happily ever after
Inside flaps = love, joy, ring, aisle (wedding words)
Inner most flaps = dance all night, eat cake, midnight snack (events at a wedding)
Step #8: Unfold and trace (using tracing paper) with ink color of your choice – all phrases on template.
Step #9: Photocopy traced page and cut to 8.5 x 8.5.
Step #10: Fold copied cootie catchers.
