Mothers’ Day Gift Booklets

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:

1. Go through magazines and find pictures, prayers, quotations, puzzles, that you like.

2. “Cover” one sheet with wrapping paper on either side.

3. Bind the edges with tape, and set aside.

4. Fold each sheet, including the ‘cover’, in half.

5. On each page, stick a picture and a recipe, or quote, or puzzle; the latter may overlap the former.

6. When you are ready, attach sheets on top of one another down the centre to form booklet; attach cover last.

7. Find letters from feature articles that spell out the message you want to convey, and use as necessary.

8. If you want, you can decorate further with stickers, rubber-stamps and glitter.

9. 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.

Tanja Cilia is an Allied Newspapers (Malta) columnist, freelance journalist, writer and poet who lives in Fleur de Lys, a hamlet in the beautiful Island Republic of Malta, Europe, bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. She is married, and has three children. Tanja lives to write and reads to breathe, and karaokes off-key to Elton John and Katie Melua records as she two-finger thumps on the pc… her excuse is that she had chilblains when she was learning to type, and this prevented her from being able to place her digits in the correct position on the keyboard… In the past, she has worked as a clerk, a Kindergarten Teacher, and a Facilitator for children who have different needs; all three jobs have rewarded her with experiences and characters that often worm their way into her stories without warning. She loves cooking, mainly traditional Maltese food, but is also partial to Chinese dishes.  Sometimes, she even thinks and speaks in haiku – but she prefers to read science fiction.  Tanja is currently compiling stories for a children’s book, which will consist partly of her own original tales, and also some adaptations of foreign ones.
