Flowering Bronze Pocket Fold Invitation

In this article you'll find step by step instructions on how to assemble our Flowering Bronze Pocket Fold Kit. Below you'll find free Microsoft Word printing templates for the cards and envelopes.

Step One: Cut Chiyogami Paper
Using a paper cutter or scissors, cut two layers measuring 4 7/8 x 6 7/8 inches out of the chiyogami 8 1/2 x 11 sheet. You can also cut one invitation band measuring 1 1/2 x 11 inches out of the same sheet to wrap the finished pocket fold. In each package of 10 kits, you will receive 10 chiyogami sheets. Cut 5 of the sheets as shown below. Another sheet can be used to cut an additional 5 chiyogami bands. You will have some chiyogami sheets leftover - these could be used to make liners for either the invitation or response envelope (optional).


Step Two: Glue Chiyogami Layer To Pocket Fold
Adhere a chiyogami layer to the invitation panel of the pocket fold. You can glue or tape the layer using the following:

• Ordinary glue stick
• Glue Marker
• Double-sided tape

Step Three: Print & Adhere Vice Versa Invitation Card
Download the template below to print the Brilliant White Albus Card measuring 3 1/2 x 4 7/8 inches. Place your invitation wording on the template and print on an inkjet printer. This heavyweight, textured card stock may prove difficult to print on some inkjet printers, so be sure to test a sample first. When you've printed the cards, adhere them to the center of the chiyogami layer on the pocket fold.

Step Four: Print Response Card & Envelope

Step Five: Secure Chiyogami Band Around Pocket Fold
Secure the 1 1/2 x 11 inch chiyogami band around the center of the folded pocket fold. Secure the band behind the pocket fold using glue stick or double-sided tape. You can optionally tie chiffon ribbon around the band and tie a bow in the front, as shown (not included with the kit).

Step Six: Print Invitation Envelope
Download the template below to print the Brilliant White Albus Envelope measuring 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 inches. Place your finished pocket fold inside the envelope and you're ready to mail your invitations!
