I still have to buy that good double sided permanent tape from acmoore, that one is just a test, its not affixed yet.
I tried using the glue on kinkos on that one as a test, but it did not stick, so for the picture i just layed it on top until i get the good stuff today from acmoore

Yea, that heavy duty take works amazing, when i assembl;ed my STD's i used that tape and it did not come off for nothing,
Now my next project is seating arrangements, i want to use the red paper to make them, i think i should get 8 cards per sheet and attach them to this

Re: My FIRST DIY Project, Engagment Party Menu's!!!! with PICS
i want to do fun table names, instead of just numbers,
like call the tables, las vegas, atlantic city, bellagio, The Palms, Blackjack, Borgata etc
I need to get picture frames, and then print out the names and cut them to fit into the frames

i had a feeling that was the case.. after i looked again i saw some of that marking at the top of the menu too!! i couldnt see it on the right side (the way the pic was taken) so i wasnt sure..
that is fine then.. they will look great!!!

Yea its so hard to tell in the pics, but its crinkled all over, so you really see it on the sides, that stick out.
Me and my friend agreed it added a nicer touch, then just flat black plain paper.
I love ACMOORE, they have such nice stuff there, but they ran out of the red paper, and now im searching to get a few more sheets of it.

I actually had bad luck with acmoore and michaels...I went to paper presentation in manhattan and the store is real big and gorgeous and loved their selection. Everyone else seems to have good luck lol am i going to the wrong ones

Re: My FIRST DIY Project, Engagment Party Menu's!!!! with PICS
nicole they came out great! Did you end up doing the columns? I bought spray glue from ac moore and it worked pretty well but it could be a little messy, I accidentally spray glued my coffee table. I totally recommend putting down some newspaper first.

Jess, yes thank for helping me with the colums, i made 2 columns, wrote out hte menu, and then copied it to the 2nd colum and printed it.
Went to kinkos, and cut everything down to size, their cutters are amazing and it didnt cost a thing!!!!
I had to buy 12x12 black crinkly paper, and cut them down to size as well.
KINKOS ROCKS!!!
I just need more of the double sided permanent tape that i used for my STD's i have to pick up more today
