Bride Nearly Burns Down Her House Making Her Own Wedding Invitations In Horrific DIYs Gone Wrong: ‘This Was A Disaster’
- A bride-to-be says she almost burned down her house
- She tried to make her invitations at home
A bride-to-be has confessed that she “almost set her house on fire” after trying to make her own wedding invitations at home.
Em Lucin did well, and had even decided to make a tutorial to help others, then it was time to seal the invitations.
Instead of using pre-melted wax and a stamp, she tried heating gold wax tubes intended for use in a hot glue gun with a match.
“I thought I was doing so well, until I almost burned my house down,” she said.
The Melbourne bride-to-be was almost done making the invitations, having printed them and guillotine-cut each piece.

“This is where it all went downhill and I almost burned down my entire office,” she said.
But seemed confused when her gold wax didn’t melt properly. She then burned her finger before going off camera to huff and puff in pain.
Her invitation ended with some nasty burns from the match and a blob was in the wrong place.
“Hopefully I can figure this out,” she said.
People were quick to point out where she went wrong.
“You have to put the hot glue in a hot glue gun so that it melts,” one woman said.
The young woman’s tutoring went well

Others said there were other ways to get the job done.
“You can get a hot glue gun or want to break your wax into smaller pieces, put a piece in a metal spoon and have a candle or lighter underneath to melt wax, pour onto paper and stamp,” one woman suggested.
Some thanked her for admitting that DIY didn’t go according to plan.
“Thanks for a realistic DIY where there are mistakes and troubleshooting,” one woman said.
“As a fellow DIY bride, I struggle with feeling like everything I’m doing is wrong if it doesn’t work out right away,” she added.
In the tutorial, Em explains why she chose each type of paper for her invitations, and how she printed them to “avoid waste.”
People have praised her efforts and thanked her for the helpful tutorial despite her embarrassing mistake.
