Mother’s Day Craft: Gift Booklets
I am pleased to have Tanja Cilia back with our Mother’s Day craft for this week. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and please post if you try this project.
What you need:
-
A4 paper, coloured or white
-
Glue
-
Transparent tape
-
Good scissors
-
Old cards
-
Old Magazines
-
Wrapping paper
-
Stickers, glitter, and rubber-stamps (optional)
Method:
-
Go through magazines and find pictures, prayers, quotations, puzzles, that you like.
-
“Cover” one sheet with wrapping paper on either side.
-
Bind the edges with tape, and set aside.
-
Fold each sheet, including the ‘cover’, in half.
-
On each page, stick a picture and a recipe, or quote, or puzzle; the latter may overlap the former.
-
When you are ready, attach sheets on top of one another down the centre to form booklet; attach cover last.
-
Find letters from feature articles that spell out the message you want to convey, and use as necessary.
-
If you want, you can decorate further with stickers, rubber-stamps and glitter.
-
It is vital to include the occasion and the year on the front of the card, and optional to include the name of the recipient and the date.
