How to Make Wishing Well Card Holders for a Wedding Reception
- 1). Center the smaller hat box over the larger hat box. With a pencil, trace the smaller box on the lid of the larger one.
- 2). Use the utility knife to cut a complete circle from the larger hat box, leaving about one inch between the cut edge and pencil tracing.
- 3). Cut out the entire bottom from the smaller hat box.
- 4). Apply glue lightly around the entire cut edge of the smaller box; center and place it over the larger box, pressing gently with fingers to adhere. Allow glue to dry completely.
- 5). Cut an opening in the center of lid of the smaller box, big enough for greeting cards to pass easily through.
- 6). Spray paint the constructed hat box wishing well with white acrylic paint. Allow to dry completely. Apply a second and third coat if needed.
- 7). Insert two craft wires (about one inch apart) into the edge of the top lid of the wishing well. Form an arch of desired height (generally 12 to 18 inches at highest point of arch), cut the wires, then insert the ends into the the opposite side of the top lid. Place a bead of craft glue where each wire meets lid, to secure.
- 8). Entwine silk vines and flowers around the wires.
- 9). Glue strings of beads, pearls, flowers or ribbon to decorate your wishing well card holder.
