Sand Dollar Shaped Wedding Invitation

Here is a Sand Dollars beach wedding invitation project that is beautiful, classy, and easy to do. If you are having a large wedding with quite a few guests this fall I highly recommend asking some of your bridesmaid and even the grooms men to help make these wonderfully unique Sand Dollar invitations.

Beach weddings are a fabulous opportunity to try something a little whimsical and out of the ordinary for your guests. Sand Dollars Beach Wedding invitations are the perfect opportunity to incorporate your beach wedding theme, show your personality, and even save a little money making them yourself.

For this Beach wedding project you will need:

Heavy grade watercolor paper

Watercolor paint or acrylic paint

Sanding Watercolor Medium

Water

Paint Brushes

Sharp Scissor or Exacto Knife

Pencils

Sand dollars

This is an easy Sand Dollar beach wedding invitation project if you break it down into a number of different steps and don't let them overwhelm you.

The first step is to find some Sand Dollars. I find them all the time at the arts and craft store and you can always find them for free at the beach. Look for different shapes and large sizes. Wedding invitations traditionally have quite a bit of information printed on them, so your Sand Dollars will need to be big enough to include all of the information you want on there.

Once you have found a variety of Sand Dollars you will want to lay them out on some regular drawing paper, trace them and cut them out. You can make a variety of different Sand Dollar beach wedding invitations or stick with one pattern. Cutting them out allows you to see how well your beach wedding invitation information will fit on the Sand Dollars.

Now you are ready to lay your chosen Sand Dollar patterns out on your heavy water color wedding invitation paper. Trace them lightly with pencil and then cut them out. For super sharp edges onto your wedding invitations I highly recommend using a very sharp exacto knife. You may need to change the blade if you are doing a lot of invitations.
