« Putting the R in Mrs. »

I am partial to the CD favor since music is such an important part of my life (and because I used them at my own wedding)! I love Allie's take on it, especially the use of a fabric pocket.

From Allie:

Materials:
Cotton fabric (Jo-Ann Fabrics)
Thread and sewing machine
Eames Furniture Weave cover stock
Blank CD-Rs (the ones I used are white Sony CDs)
Printer
Photos
Rotary paper trimmer
Rounded corner punch

Preparation:

  1. Cut fabric to size. (I cut mine to 6″ square, but if you’re a better seamstress than I am, you could go smaller and have smaller seam allowances.)
  2. Trim photos to size. (Mine are 4.5″ wide by 2″ tall, but you can use the dimensions of your choosing. Going 2″ tall enabled me to print two per 4″x6″ photo sheet.)
  3. Print front piece (with your names, the date, or anything else) and trim to size. (Mine is 2.125″ wide by 1″ tall.)
  4. Choose songs and burn CDs. (I selected songs from our reception playlist.)
  5. Print CD track list on cover stock, trim to 5″ square, and round corners using corner punch.
  6. Attach the front printed piece to the photo with a small piece of double-sided tape, placed 1/4″ from the left edge. (This will make your life infinitely easier when you go to assembling the sleeves.)

Here are a few additional pictures from Allie and Josh's beautiful wedding.
