It doesn\u2019t have to be something elaborate; think small, simple yet significant. It could be a personalised Save-The-Date card, or a memorable wedding favour. You don\u2019t even have to be very good at arts and crafts to make these wonderful mementos. SingaporeBrides shows you how to Do-It-Yourself.<\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">Y<\/b>ou want to add a personal touch to both your wedding invitation and favours but the time constraint makes it impossible to complete two different do-it-yourself projects for your eighty-odd (or more) guests. SingaporeBrides says otherwise and shows you how to kill two birds with one stone. Armed with a piece of wood sheet, craft stickers, some basic stationery and a little guidance from us, we\u2019ll show you that personalising your wedding doesn\u2019t need to be complicated.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><p><b><b>Here\u2019s what you need:<\/b><\/b><\/p><ul><li>Wood sheet<\/li><li>Craft stickers<\/li><li>A strip of crochet<\/li><li>Round magnet<\/li><li>Pencil<\/li><li>Ruler<\/li><li>Scissors<\/li><li>Super glue<\/li><\/ul><p>Time taken for each: 5 minutes<\/p><p>Average cost for each: $5<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet2\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet2-e1358780286111.jpg\" \/><p>1. Spell out the words \u201cSave Our Date\u201d using black craft stickers. Align the letters on the left side of the wood sheet.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet3\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet3-e1358780319726.jpg\" \/><p>2. Using a pair of scissors and a ruler, cut out a piece of crochet measuring 18 cm long.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet4\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet4-e1358780349560.jpg\" \/><p>3. Adjust the crochet to sit just below the craft letters.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet5\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet5-e1358781241331.jpg\" \/><p>4. Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the position, fold the ends of the crochet over the back of the wood sheet and secure with super glue. Let the glue dry.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet6\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet6-e1358781258531.jpg\" \/><p>5. Then, using red craft stickers, spell out the date of your wedding. Align the stickers to the right side of the wood sheet.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet7\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet7-e1358781281179.jpg\" \/><p>6. Draw a thin line just after the crochet using a pencil and ruler.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet8\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet8-e1358781295485.jpg\" \/><p>7. Then, cut along the penciled line to remove the excess wood sheet.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet9\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet9-e1358781311696.jpg\" \/><p>8. Turn the card over. Adhere two pieces of magnets on the top and bottom of the card.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet10\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet10-e1358781626695.jpg\" \/><p>Now wasn\u2019t that simple and quick to make? Paint the words on instead of using craft stickers if you have more time on your hands, or make the card smaller or bigger according to your preference. You can even use a different shape for your save-the-date card! Substitute the crochet with colourful ribbons for a splash of colour or to complement your wedding theme. Personalise the card further by adding the names of your guests on the back and you have a save-the-date card that doubles as a wedding favour!<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Save-The-Date Magnet11\" src=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Save-The-Date-Magnet11-e1358781638548.jpg\" \/><p><i>Perfect for Save-the-Date Cards, Wedding Invitation Cards, Wedding Favours and Rustic-themed Weddings<\/i><\/p><hr\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Think you\u2019re a hands-on kind of bride and want to make something really special for your wedding?
