*15- Got a hanky?

Let me begin this post by saying that I have some 100% original ideas, however I would say that the majority of my craftiness is... borrowed.

My invites are no exception. But I LOVE everything about them.

To begin, my inspiration:



Very lovely save the dates via DIY Bride via Borrowed Turquoise -- a new favorite

I loved it so much that I thought they were far more worthy to be invites rather than save-the-dates for our little affair. I did some research to think about whether it was possible, cheap, and truely DIY-able.

I found 150 vintage handkerchiefs on eBay for $45!

I got a fabric screen-printing setup for under $50 from Urban Outfitters (great screen, photo emulsion fluid, emulsion remover, ink, squeegee, etc.)!

I used recycled paper for the outside for $3/50!

All I need to pay for is postage and put in some time and VOILA! some bomb-a$$ invites.

I made my first prototype last night.

Whatcha think?
