I blogged about them a while back and have since then taken note of the endless creative ideas and variety of uses (even if you’re not getting married!) around blogland. Boy-oh-boy, do I have a list for you, my dears!  From decorating boxes, packaging  and invites — inspiration abounds. Here is 1 of 4 installments.  Enjoy!

DIY Invite Hankies: SDBride

I’ve always been smitten by all the tea towel and handkerchief invitation gorgeousness you see around blog-land. So it comes as no surprise that this fantastic set of DIY hanky invites from Tulle and Feathers (meant “to look like vintage love letters packaged up from anthro) gets a MAJOR dogear in my book.

Would you believe me if I told you that these were printed on fabric using freezer paper?!
