Menus

I'm so not crafty - but I'm thinking about making my own menus cause I figured it cant be too hard

BUT, I have no clue what paper to buy/size/etc?

Suggestions, PLEASE

I purchased 8.5 x 11 colored stock for the backing at discountcardstock.com (they have EVERY color imaginable). Then I cut each piece in half to make two menus out of one sheet.

Then I ordered custom cut (7.5 x 10) ivory stock from notfromabox.com (printed the actual menu on to that) and also cut those in half to make two per sheet.

Then put them together with double stick tape!!

SUPER EASY!

And it cost me like, nothing, well more like $50 bux....if that.

I am not crafty and i did them for my e-party, so if i can so can you lol trust me.

I went to paper presentation, bought 2 types of paper. I bought the chocolate bronze dream paper which is harder cardstock and has a glimmer effect to it and also bought pink card stock. Both were 8.5 X11. I also bought a paper cutter. I cut the pink paper in half so about 4.2 bc i used the pink paper as the thinner part on top of the brown paper. I printed the menu onto the pink paper directly, when you do this with a smaller size paper you first will go to page set up and put the paper dimensions and then print it on the full paper and THEN cut the paper in half. I had bought paper glue but really doesnt work well, it can bubble after a while and slide around so i went back and bought double sided permanent tape to stick it to the brown paper.
i dont have a close up right now but to give you an idea
