Wedding Card Box Tutorial: 2 Ways to Embellish

04.16.14 By Carolina Leave a Comment

I love DIY wedding decor. There are so many ways you can add personal and custom touches to a wedding when you do it yourself. A wedding card box is a simple place to add some personalized touches to your big day. There are so many different ways you can dress up a simple white card box. Here are two different ways to customize a card box – with flowers, or with sparkle.

Floral Wedding Card Box Supplies

  • Wedding Card Mailbox
  • Wide, wire-edged ribbon
  • Hot Glue
  • Baby’s Breath
  • Large Roses

If your wedding is more about sparkles than flowers, you can customize your card box in a completely different way.

Sparkle Wedding Card Box Supplies:

  • Wedding Card Mailbox
  • Clear Rhinestones 
  • Craft Glue

There are many other options – you could use photos, the bride and groom’s monogram, the wedding invitation, or a symbol or image that is significant to the bride and groom. Every part of the wedding is special, and deserves a DIY touch – from the gift table, to the alter, to the reception, you can thing of fun ways to personalize every part of your wedding.

Carolina has been crafting her whole life. She started cutting and gluing as soon as her fingers could manage the scissors and paste, and started sewing when she was 6. There are few crafts she hasn’t tried her hand at, and is always excited to play with new tools and techniques. Carolina loves coming up with original ideas, and then letting her hands create what her mind comes up with… and is always thrilled when the real thing looks better than she’s imagined!
