Hello!
Today’s project is a DIY Scroll that is wrapped in a soft, colorful tassel tie and housed in a wooden box. I created this for a friend who was looking for a custom-printed scroll that was larger than what was available on the market for wedding invitations. The finished scroll is about 12-1/2″ from tip to tip and the paper is a standard 8-1/2″ wide. Since I used art paper, the length of the unrolled scroll is almost 20″.
The finished product is the only picture I have. I put the detailed ingredient list below in case you want to make your own scroll. If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks for looking!
