Folding Book Art - Wedding Table Numbers
I am getting married soon and my fiance was looking at how to mark the table numbers.
The wedding is a village fete / vintage sort of theme. My wife to be is an english teacher, and we both like books...
As she was looking for inspiration she came across one of the folded books with words in. I'm sure you have seen them before, but if not check out this link:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=folded+book+words&client=safari&hl=en-gb&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=tCmCUbBejdfsBry-gbgD&ved=0CDYQsAQ&biw=320&bih=505
At this point I thought "I can do that!". So I set about folding numbers in to the books instead of words...
After I had done my first number, I tried to search the Internet for instructions to see if there is a better way of doing it. I couldn't find instructions (without paying $15), just a couple of free templates (for a crown), but no instructions on how to use them.
So I stuck with my method, and this is what I will go through here.
In theory you should be able to use the same method for words or picture.
