Budget Menus with Elegance!
Ok, my friends...I was looking on line for Menu prices and that's kind of steep for my budget, so we must get creative! I'm sick and tired of being ripped off, so I must find another way.

Michael's supplies:
Silver Posterboard ($.99) ea (about 10 11x3 3/4) cuts per board
Tiffany Aqua Blue Ribbon ($3.99) roll
Rhinestones (304 pcs assorted pack)$4.99 YOU CAN USE THESE FOR OTHER PROJECTS AS WELL!
Elmers Glue $ .99
Glue Stick $.99
Glue Gun (Every woman should have one of these on hand!) It's my best friend, besides my husband..:)

How much fun this one was...(LOL) I have created our Reception Menus today! This took a lot of patience and concentration. Being on a tight budget, you really want your creations to be outstanding!

I printed out the Menu at home on the computer, cut evenly 3 1/4 X 10 1/2 and cut the Sliver Posterboard at 11 X 3 3/4. PLEASE USE A RULER...ELEGANCE, REMEMBER!

Add glue stick to back of printed Menu and line up to the center of your Silverboard. Hole punch a hole at the top of your menu and add a piece of Aqua Ribbon through and back out and hot glue together. Add your rhinestones where needed and WHOOLLA! There you have your first Menu. Another 59 to go...! Much cheaper than ordering, taxes, shipping and handling...

About $50.00 in savings!
