Royal Princess Scroll Invitations

I put so much time into these elegant handmade scrolls for my daughter's 1st Birthday. There theme was Royal Princess and the colors were pink and gold. I wanted to do something odd from the start and thought that making scrolls would be be great idea and a good fit for the overall theme. I designed everything from scratch using my graphic design skills. I only made 12 of these because they were expensive to put together. I printed them two to a page on 11x17 inch paper on both sides. The scrolls where wooden when I bought them and I had to paint them gold to have that gold finish. I attached both ends with clear tape and rolled them together and finished with a gold lace ribbon. (It took two people to make sure each end was rolled up tight - its hard to do by yourself) I was very impressed with the final look and so were my invited guest.

  1. Hi could you help with more details on how you made the scroll.. Is that one sheet of paper? Is there a specific graphic design program I should use? Any idea where I can purchase the wooden scroll? Thanks in advance!
