DIY Christmas cards / Uradi sam božične čestitke
this one is still work in progress/ ova još nije gotova |
The great thing about making your own Christmas cards (or any cards for that matter) is that you don't need to buy any supplies or materials (no need to run down to a hobby shop) , take any classes or participate in any workshops to be able to do it. You may use whatever you like, cut an image from some magazine, a piece of fabric or paper napkin and just glue it to a paper or cardboard. You might use old Christmas decorations, make up or nail-polish, anything really. I think that the most important thing is to make them personal and I believe that the person you give it to or send it to will appreciate the special effort you took to make them.
To me it made sense to use my own illustrations as well as to make some new ones (but you may use whatever you like). In addition, I used other things I found in my home, such as cardboard (from used packaging) , make up supplies (cotton pads or cotton balls to be more precise), glue and paper napkins (these bird printed paper napkins I bought in DM with DIY agenda in mind and have used them in many DIY projects so I can say they really payed off).
I might do another post like this one, with more ideas, so if you're up for that don't forget to write so in the comments.
Odlična stvar kod pravljenja svojih vlastitih božičnih čestitki (ili bilo kakvih čestitki što se toga tiče) je da ne morate kupovati nikakve materijale ( ne morate trčati do hobby prodavaonice) niti pohađati neke sate ili radionice da biste to mogli napraviti. Možete koristiti što god želite, izrezati sliku iz nekog časopisa, komad tkanine ili salvete i jednostavo to zaljepiti na papir ili karton. Možete koristiti stare božične dekoracije, šminku, lak za nokte, bilo što zaista. Mislim da je najvažnija stvar učiniti ih posebnim i vjerujem da će osoba kojoj ih date ili pošaljete cijeniti poseban trud koji ste uložili da ih napravite.
Meni se činilo logičnim koristiti vlastite ilustracije kao i napraviti neke nove. Osim toga, koristila sam stvari koje sam pronašla doma, kao što je karton ( s nekih pakiranja), pamučne blazinice (ili jastučiće kako tko već kaže mada su ovo više pamučne kuglice), ljepilo i salvete (ove salvete s uzorkom ptičica sam kupila u DM-u, imajući na umu baš ovakve uradi sam projekte, dosta sam ih koristila, preslatke su i baš su mi se isplatile.)
Mogla bih napisati još jedan ovakav post, s još više ideja, pa ako vam to zanima, ne zaboravite to napisati u komentarima.
We love making cards cause it reminds us of out childhood

Ivana, those cards are so so adorable!! I'd so so prefer to get those kind of cards over any other!! Seriously, nothing beats a personalised card :)

I agree...a personal touch is always a good thing.
DeleteYou are always so full of creative ideas! Beautiful cards, you put a piece of your heart into each of them. No doubt the persons who receive them would be touched.
ReplyDeleteBaš su lijepe, Ivana! Uistinu, tvojoj kreativnosti nema kraja!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! You're such a creative and thoughtful person. Your cards are super cute. It must have taken you so much time to create all of them, but I'm sure the lucky receivers will appreciate the effort you put into making unique Christmas cards for them.

DeleteJoj sjećam se prije, dok sam bila klinka, uvijek sam slala te čestitke, to mi je baš bilo super i baš mi je žao što se ta tradicija negdje po putu izgubila. Za svaku pohvalu si :)
ReplyDeletei ja sam ih kao mala slala, a imala sam i zadaću pisati ih...možda mi je zato palo na pamet oživjeti tradiciju:)
DeleteSúper bonito

ReplyDeleteGreat DIY tutorial!!! I only made cards by myself when I was a little kid. After I grew up, I was too lazy to make holiday cards by myself. Your work really inspires me. I may try to make some today!!
ReplyDeleteI love making my own cards. Using things that you already have is a great way to repurpose and reuse, making them eco-friendly. Your illustrations are beautiful. I'd love to see another post like this.
