DIY: Tea Dyed Escort Cards with Keys
Friday, April 29, 2016
May is right around the corner! I still have a few more wedding posts to share before I wrap up my Wedding Diaries. I can't believe it's almost been a year since my wedding day. Please follow my Instagram account @mycutebow for an upcoming month of wedding recap.
One of the wedding details that I made was the escort cards. The idea was inspired by pictures from Pinterest. I tied vintage keys to tea dyed name tags. I bought plain manila tags to use as escort cards. I added several Lipton black tea packets to a big bowl of boiling water. I added the tags in for several minutes. The longer you leave them in the more stained they will look. I laid the tags on paper towels to let them dry. Some of them were curling when they were drying so I put heavy books on top of them. This slows down the drying process but will prevent them from curling. Don't forget to flip them to dry too.
To finish them off I wrote in the names on the tags with a calligraphy pen. Then I tied a ribbon with a vintage key to the tag. I bought the vintage keys from Etsy seller, aniknition. To hang the tags, I bought a cork pin board with white wooden frame from Marshalls. I used pearl pins to attach it onto the board. I also created a sign that said "Please Find the Key to Your Seat". It was a fun project to work on and the setup looked great in our venue's entrance hall.
Thanks for reading!

The wedding team was very supportive. The wedding venues NYC had everything a girl might need. I highly recommend getting ready in the bridal suite. They lit the fireplaces and the views from the suite were exceptional.
ReplyDeleteDo you recall how big your board was that you purchased? Was the background linen or .... ?
ReplyDeleteHi sorry for the late reply! The white boarder of the board was about 20"x28", when I have it on hand i'll get you a better measurement. The background was like a soft burlap, it's a push pin board.
DeleteMy husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
