Tear Packs

Tear Packs

They're probably the simplest things to make, but I'm clueless. If you've made them or plan to, what did you use and how did you do it?

Thanks!

I got mine from Laura at LA Productions, $15 for 50 (i think it is 50)..They are beautiful!! I would spend the $15 !

She is in Port Jefferson.....and a vendor on LIW.

Re: Tear Packs

Thanks for the info.

Do you have a picture of them you can post?

Re: Tear Packs

This is how I made mine. But instead of the stamp, I used an embosser. I got the paper at Michaels in chocolate, off white speckle and latte. I got tissues (with hearts) through the internet.

Tissue Packs

It cost me about $30 (not including the embosser- I am planning to use the disks for other things for the wedding) for 50. Sounds like I spent a little more than if someone did them. But I really enjoyed doing it myself.

I also picked expensive paper. I bought the tissues first, and I ran into trouble finding paper that coordinated.

Once I figure out how to down load pictures from my digital camera, I am going to post pictures of them.

Re: Tear Packs

I also saved these from other LIW girls from a search I made.

(To the ladies who made these- I'm sorry I didn't save your name with them. FM me and I will add the appropriate credit to you. You all made beautiful packs.)

Re: Tear Packs

I just decided to do this myself. I got 100 glassine envelopes from ebay for $7. Then I bought this mega tissue pack from the dollar store... 2 of them = $2. I am going to print up labels (I already have the blank labels) and am going to tie a ribbon around it. I got 5 rolls of ribbon for $1 from Michaels. For like $10 I am going to make 100. I will take a pic when I make one... right now I only have the picture in my head.

Re: Tear Packs

I just bought vellum and I am going to print our names and the date (or maybe a monogram I'm working on) on it and fold them myself.

Re: Tear Packs

Mine are going to be similar to Nylisa's but I am adding a bow

Re: Tear Packs

That is such a great idea guys! How will you be giving them to the guests?

Re: Tear Packs

I am going to have them in a basket next to the programs where the guests enter the ceremony area. I might have my Future neice and nephew hand them out.
