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?!
Oh YES. Definitely a labor of love and the end result is nothing short of AWESOME.
Get more of the DIY scoop from SDBride here. And in case you wanna try the freezer paper technique, check out this cool tute from Limelady.
