DIY Handkerchief Invitations

While antiquing I always seem to come across the most beautiful vintage handkerchiefs.  Being the shopaholic that I am, I always have a strong urge to purchase the lot but walk away telling myself; what in the world would you ever need 300 mismatched handkerchiefs for?! Well I just found my answer, DIY vintage handkerchief wedding invitations! Hello, amazing!

What you will need:
  • Vintage Handkerchiefs
    • They can be any color or pattern. Don't worry about using only blank center handkerchiefs.
  • Lint Roller
  • Iron on Transfers
  • Iron
  • Ironing Board 
  • Scissors or Paper Cutter 

Step 1: Create an invitation template. There are many online sources that you can use, I recommend The Wedding Chicks.

Step 2 :  Print your template onto the iron on transfers. To do this, use the instructions that come with your transfers as a guide. Keep in mind that you may have to invert the image.

Tip: Take into account the size, pattern, and thickness of your handkerchiefs.  A certain iron on transfer may be best suited your handkerchiefs.
  • Avery Brand For Dark Fabric 4x6 has a white background so it can be used on any pattern design and does not bleed. Also, there is no need to invert the template with this brand. 
 Step 3: Prepare your handkerchiefs by washing, ironing/steaming, and lint rolling each one. Next, using a  paper cutter or scissors, trim down your iron on transfers to desired size. 

Tip: If not lint rolled, lint will show up encased in the iron on transfers.

Step 4: Making sure to follow the instructions provided by your iron on transfers, iron transfers onto each handkerchief. 

Step 5: Let cool.

Viola, beautiful and unique wedding invitations that your guests are sure to love!
