It gives the most professional results and doesn’t make a mess at all. If you look close you can see the glue tape being applied to the paper. It’s a very simple process (one you really can’t mess up).Once you have the edges done with glue on them. Roll out a few strips of glue tape in the center for the paddle stick.
Do this on both sides of the program template. If you want to save glue tape, only apply the tape to one side of the template. Be sure to still apply a few lines for the paddle stick to both sides though to keep it sturdy.Try to get the glue tape as close to the edge of the paper as possible. When finished, set the paddle stick in place. Be careful to center it and keep it straight.
Insert the paddle stick half way into the paper. You can purchase these paddle sticks at most craft stores.Once you have the paddle stick in place, fold the other half of the template over and press firmly on the glued edges. This is where the glue tape really comes in handy. There’s no chance of pushing any glue out of the edges like with liquid glue.You could call this a finished product if you want but we’re going to take it a step further and round the corners and tie a ribbon on the paddle stick. Step: 5) Add your finishing touchesFirst, we’re going to give it some nice rounded corners with a corner punch. You can pick one of these up at any craft store.Next, we’ll tie a ribbon around the paddle stick where it meets the Kraft paper. We used some burlap ribbon and cut it to 18″.Then tie the bow.
It’s just like tying shoe laces.And there you have it. A finished rustic wedding program template! We even decided to notch out the ends of the ribbon to give it a nice finished look.If you’re ready to get started with your DIY wedding program templates, and choose your template!What did you think?
