Pencil Case: The Wedding Dress Rating Cards

If you read our last Post-It Note, you would have come across a reference to the hit TLC show, "Say Yes to the Dress" - a favourite show of all future brides. This show was the inspiration for S2's easy yet fantastically fun DIY project: THE WEDDING DRESS RATING CARDS. Oh be prepared... the instructions are very complicated. There will be circle cutting and ribbon tying involved. You can do it! Scissors armed and ready?

Materials Required:

Bristol board

Popsicle sticks

Ribbon

Markers (We chose Mr. Sketch for two reasons. One, they are fun to smell. Two, they are fun to smell.)

Tape

Scissors

Circle stencil (a bottom of a glass will do just fine)

By jove we've got it! We have just figured out how to post a little written insert, then a picture, then a written insert...we are very excited. Ok, on to the project...

Step 1: Trace circles onto the bristol board. A medium size will be just right. Then cut out the circles.

Step 2: Write the numbers one through five onto the circles. You can be as decorative as you like. (Here is where the Mr. Sketch come in).

Step 3: Tape the popsicle sticks onto the back of the circles.

Step 4: Take a piece of ribbon and tie a bow around the popsicle stick.

Just a little side note, ensure you make enough rating card sets for the people attending the wedding dress try-on session.

Here is the final masterpiece:

These rating cards are a great way to make sure that everyone is included in the day. They also give everyone a say without actually having to say it.

Have fun creating!
