Since we have printed everything, we will start assembling the structure of our wedding scroll invites. First, cut the wooden sticks to your desired length.

Step 4: Finished look for the wooden sticks:
Spray paint the sticks either with a finishing paint or a varnish.
Next Step 5: Transferring the design:
Get the polyester fabric, using the heat press machine transfer the design from the heat transfer paper. Don’t forget to use the Teflon paper to cover before pressing as it will protect your material from direct heat, also, it will help you produce even heat distribution.
Step 6: Cut out the Fabric:
Cut out each part of the polyester fabric to separate. On this part we used an electric heat cutter or a hot knife. By doing so, it will prevent the fabric from losing side threads from cutting. It will also give the invitation a polished look.
Step 7: Load The Gun!:
Get your glue gun and glue sticks, grab the wooden sticks and cut out printed fabric. Glue it together one on the top and bottom, to achieve a scroll looking invite.
