STARLET INVITATIONS

Get the party off to a bright start with these stylish shades. In addition to party details, include a note encouraging guests to come dressed in their favorite Hollywood fashions.

 
For 4 shades, you will need:
•   2 sheets of 8 1/2- by 11-inch pink card stock
•   Scissors
•   8 1/2- by 11-inch sheet of vellum (available at craft stores)
•   Glue or double-sided tape
•   Decorative details, such as stickers, glitter glue, or plastic gems

 
Step 1:   Cut each sheet of card stock in half horizontally. Draw a sunglasses shape on each piece as shown or trace our 8 1/2- by 5 1/8-inch template.

Step 2:   Fold the card stock in half along the top of the rims. Cut out the glasses, leaving the top fold intact to use as a hinge.

Step 3:   Cut out the lenses, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides. Cut a piece of vellum to cover each opening. Affix the vellum lenses to the back of the frames with glue or double-sided tape.

Step 4:   Write the party details inside, then have your young hostess decorate the invites.
