CHANEL- inspired birthday invitations



This was an incredibly fun, elegant project. The invitations were for a very classy young lady for her 30th birthday party. Everything you see here was created from scratch. The keepsake gift box is a plain paper mache box covered in black satin fabric with a hand-tied white satin ribbon.

You can't see it here, but the back of the invitation is a black shiny paper, to mimic patent leather.





I had to make the gift bags from scratch, by hand from 4 pieces of 12"x12" metallic gold paper. It's a good thing they only needed two!
