DIRECTIONS

Print your party invites on vellum paper within a 4" x 5" space. You can print two per vellum sheet.

Trim to 4.5" x 6". (Double check this measurement just to be sure.) I started with toilet paper rolls, but decided the paper towel rolls were a little bit easier.

Put a strip of adhesive on each end of the blank side of the vellum. Wrap around paper roll.

Cut your 12" x 12" glitter paper in half (you will have 2 - 6" x 12" pieces.) If using toilet paper rolls, go ahead and roll your glitter paper. I used an left over gift wrapping roll to get the right size. If using a paper towel roll, I left about .5" between the invitation and where I added the glitter paper. This allowed for a little bit longer light saber. Use hot glue to secure the roll.

Next add a 6"strip of the aluminum duct tape to the bottom of the glitter paper tube. Its super shiny, but also wrinkles. I cut a 6" inch strip, then took off the backing and added it to the saber.

To connect the glitter tube to the toilet paper roll, use the electric tape.

To finish it, I added another piece of electrical tape at the base of the toilet paper roll, and buttons made from actual buttons and scrapbooking embellishments.

Wasn't that fun?
