Invitations Kraft card, doilies, lace & twine add a beautiful vintage feel to invites and can be easily made. 1. Cut two 12cm diameter kraft doilies out and score in half. Glue both to a 12x 12 cm piece of craft card so they fold over the front. 2. Stick a piece of cream card cut to 11.5 x 11.5cm to front of the card, under the doily folds. Glue a paper doily on top of both the flaps. 3.Cut a piece of kraft card 24 x 4 cm and fold around the centre of the invite, cover with lace ribbon and finish with a length of twine tied in a knot.
