In looking at fall wreath ideas, I came across a picture of a wedding invitation ornament online and thought that it was great (that's my "credit" since I don't know where I saw the picture and upon googling it, came up with a lot of potential sources). I'd considered framing our invitation, but it was shaped kind of oddly, so until now, it's just been sitting in a box of wedding stuff. But now, it's in an ornament :) From the picture, it seemed pretty self-explanatory, so I just picked up a box of empty ornaments and did it this afternoon. So my new past time is going to be figuring out what to use the other 3 glass balls for since Hobby Lobby didn't sell them individually.
Our wedding invitation and clear glass ornament
I cut the invitation into strips, and then cut off excess so there wouldn't be so much white space, and then curled each piece around a pen
My addition to this idea was spray gluing the inside of the ornament and then pouring and shaking around some silver and white glitter. We used silver in our color scheme, and silver and green were both on the invitation.
The other thing that I added to it was the ribbon that we tied our programs with. It's olive green, and matched the font on the invitation. Nostalgia.. After cutting up the whole invitation, I found that I would have needed more than one invitation to fill the ball, which I didn't have, but I liked it this way too since you can roll it around and read different parts.
And the inside.
