Adviсe
To create an unusual wedding envelope, you must take into account recommendations from professionals.
To make an envelope, it is better to choose paper and cardboard in light colors. Patterns can be applied to the surface of the product using ink, paint or gel paste. With a hole punch you can make figures of angels, butterflies, flowers and others. They should be knocked out from decorative paper. They are fixed on the front side of the product with a glue gun in any order. In order for the upper opening part of the envelope to acquire its original shape, you need to use decorative scissors with a wavy edge or a border. Lace patterns are also obtained through the use of designer scissors. To decorate the front of the envelope, you can use photos of the newlyweds, their relatives and friends.
It is important that the photographs are printed on regular paper and not photo paper. The latter will make it difficult to decorate photographs.

Self-control diary
Experts recommend a method such as psychological control to patients who complain of incontinence and imbalance. Its essence lies in observing the reactions that occur in a person to any external stimuli. To do this, psychologists suggest keeping a diary, in which it is recommended to note various conflict situations and the reaction of the person being studied to them. After which the recordings, together with a specialist, must be analyzed, determined and, if possible, eliminated the root cause of incontinence.
In addition to keeping a diary, there are other ways of self-control. For example, such as meditation, breathing exercises and others. In addition, the inability to control emotions can be hidden under the guise of humor and a positive attitude towards others.
