What are some DIY kraft wedding decorations?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

Use kraft paper for table numbers, place cards, favour boxes, and bunting. It gives a natural, rustic look that is easy to personalise with stamps or handwriting.

Kraft paper is a wonderful base for a rustic or outdoor wedding. For table numbers, cut rectangles or triangles, write the number with a marker, and prop them in small wooden stands or clip them to jars. For place cards, cut small rectangles, fold them in half, and write each guest's name. You can also add a sprig of dried lavender or a tiny leaf.

Favour boxes are simple to fold from kraft card. Use a template, score the folds, and assemble with glue. Fill them with sweets, seeds, or small biscuits. For bunting, cut triangles or pennants from kraft paper, punch holes in the corners, and thread them onto string. Hang them across a wall, a table front, or a doorway.

Kraft paper also works for a guest book alternative. Have guests write messages on kraft tags, then drop them into a jar or a box. You can also make a simple welcome sign or a seating chart on a large kraft board. Use a pencil to sketch your layout first, then go over it with a pen. Stamps, stencils, and calligraphy pens add a personal touch. Keep the design clean and let the natural colour of the paper shine.
