My daughter’s third birthday party was a lot of fun to plan! I wanted to make some simple invitations for it that didn’t take a lot of time. With watercolors being a fun trend right now, I decided to spruce up my invites with a bit of watercolor paints!
You’ll need a few supplies to make a watercolor invitations:
Watercolors
Watercolor Paper (cut to 8.5 x 11 inches)
Paint brush
Pallet to mix watercolors
Printer
I created a simple invitation on my computer and printed it out in black and white onto the cut down watercolor paper.
I decided to paint a little watercolor onto some of the letters in the invitations. I also added a few stripes to the top and bottom! But really anything is possible!
And, just like that, the invitations went from boring to beautiful!
I loved that each invitation was a little unique. Each one was just a little bit different with each stroke of the paint brush.
I was even able to dress up the food labels with the watercolors; they really are a lot of fun to play with!
