Lego Party invites

Supplies to make popsicle invitation

• Computer and printer (optional
• scissors or craft knife
• Yellow construction card
• popsicle sticks (iceblock sticks)
• cutting mat
• pencil, ruler, white glue
• cardboard for template - from a cereal box will do.

Step one

Sketch the shape of a popsicle onto cardboard from an old cereal box.

I drew my shape by first drawing a rectangle. I then rounded the top half to give me a symmetrical shape - Remember that your homemade invitations dont have to be perfect.

The dimensions for my popsicle template were 3 1/8" x 4 3/8". You can adjust the size to suit your needs.

Step two

Use a word processing program on your computer (MS Word, Wordpad etc) to create the text for your invitation. I found a couple of fun fonts to use.

Make sure that you fit the wording into your specified dimensions. Print on to scrap paper to test that it is the correct size.

When you are satisfied with the layout, print on to the yellow cardstock.

Step three

Lay the template over the top, trace around the template and then cut out the invitation with scissors.

Step four

Grab a popsicle stick. We had a bunch of colored sticks in the craft box so we chose a green stick.

cover the top third of the stick with white glue and adhere the stick to the back of your popsicle cut out. Be careful to center the stick as much as you can. (you can use a pencil and ruler to lightly mark the centre on the back of the invite to ensure a centred stick)

Finished Invitation

You're completed party inivte will look something like this one.

Remember that you can ammend any of the dimensions to make your popsicle bigger or smaller as you like.
