Here's a great idea for your next summertime party - an invitation your guests will have fun putting together!
How to Make it
-
Take a themed picture - If you don't already have one, take a picture that matches your party theme. It could be someone making a big splash for your pool party or a basket on a pretty tablecloth for a picnic. Then take your picture to a nearby KODAK Picture Maker.
-
Make your invitations - Follow the on-screen directions to Select the picture size you want (4" x 6"). Scan your original picture. In the Edit function, you can Zoom and Crop to make each picture just the way you want it. Now Add a Border to your picture and Add Text to provide party details, like the date, time, place, and your name and phone number.
-
Create the puzzle - At home, trim your invitations and glue them to plain cardboard puzzle forms you can find at a local craft store. Once the glue is dry, flip the invitation over so the puzzle shapes are face up. Use a sharp crafting knife to trim out the pieces. If necessary, lightly sand off any rough edges with an emery board.
-
Mail them! - Put an unmade puzzle invitation in each envelope and mail or deliver one to each guest. They'll enjoy putting the puzzle back together in order to read your invitation!
