Now we're ready for our next step and that's getting this side of the box ready and in
this side of the box I'm actually going to use some of this easter grass. Now I picked
iridescent easter grass because we're going to be doing pink and first of all it's a little
shiny, it makes it really nice and sparkly and festive and also whatever color it's near,
it picks up. So as soon as I put the easter grass in the top it will pick up on the pink,
it will also pick up on the lavender colors that I might be using later on with the invitation.
Whatever color it's near, it picks up, so that's why I like the iridescent. Now there's
also a special way to put the easter grass inside of the box. I find this to be one of
the most challenging portions of this invite because you have to really, you want to have
enough easter grass so that you don't see what's inside the box. Yet it's really hard
sometimes to get the easter grass to stay put. That's fun for easter baskets but not
for invitations. So I'm going to take a lot here and I need to ball it up in my hands
as tightly as possible to really crush it and condense it and then we're going to keep
it in the top of the box like this. I hope it stays put. (You stay there!) And then when
you're actually ready to close it up, you have to close it up really quick and if you
have stuff on the side, you can kind of pull it out like this or trim it, but if we have
it condensed on the top portion, it should stay there. (So stay there!) Well get back
to that later. Let's move onto our next step.
