I wish I had written down how long it took me...I did them over a 2 month span, but in total it's taken me if I added up the time, 2 weeks. This is doing them after work etc.

my DH is a architectural drafter, and he designed the curve on Autocad-which was fairly simple. Then he took that print out and gave it to someone in the wood mill shop that he works with, and the guy made 2 cut outs on wood with a band saw that matched the curve. Then I just put the wood block onto the paper, and used an exacto knife against the wood template to cut the curve.

Re: MY DIY Pocketfold invitations w/PICS!!!!

These look fantastic. Thanks so much for psoting a step by step of where you got the items from and about how much it all cost you. I really find that helpful when you're working on a budget and want to know from the getgo if something is worth looking into ior not because no matter how pretty something is, if its over budget, not so great.

So thank you and good luck with all the rest of your DIY's!
