DIY Gift: BFF Booklet| Art/Crafting

Hey Hey Hey's! Today I am going to be showing you how to make a personal gift and do it yourself! I just think that gifts you made yourself are just so much more memorable and valuable then store bought ones. If you are making this for someone you are really close to you can put it together with some other stuff, but just on it's own it means so much! I did get some inspiration from some youtube videos, but I put my own twist on them. I hope you enjoy this DIY and Stay AweSAM!

What you will need:

26 cards

Scissors/Paper trimmer

Sticker Paper

Pens/Markers

Binding Rings or Ribbon

Optional: Embelishments and decor

1. Cut your sticker paper into strips that are 2 inches wide until you have 13.

2. Seperate those strips into strips that are 5 1/2 inches long.(I recommend keeping one as a measurement tool so that they all turn out the same measurement) Once you start getting the hang of it you can do more at a time.

3. Wrap them around the cards starting from the back, so that the excess(which you can cut off) is in the back of the card. 2 of the cards should be flipped on the print side so that you have 2 separate cover pages.

4. Put aside the 2 title pages and split the deck into 2(12 each). Keep in mind the order of the deck, so separate the red and the blue, the numbers that are the same, and any other similarities in the cards.

5. On 12 of them write things you love about that person. On the other 12 write quotes about your relationship with them or quotes that represent you and that person. Then you can decorate the pages to make them look a bit more personal and cute! On the back of each card you can draw or write something and do the same on every card do give it a set-type of feel.

6. Decorate the 2 title pages to say “12 things I love about you!” and “12 Quotes”.

7. Punch 2 holes into all the cards. When you punch them make sure all the little excess you folded over is on the side you are punching 2 holes in, so keep that in mind when you are writing on them. (Again, I recommend having a sample and you can use the joker card for that)

8. Bind all the cards with either ribbon or binder rings and your done!!!

Distance Means so Little when Someone Means so Much|Simply Life

When I was in 3rd grade something unforgettable happened, someone came my way and left (physically not mentally), it all felt like it happened in a split second. My BFFLTEWEWH(Best Friend For Like Toats Ever Without Exceptions Whatever Happens(aka Anika)) had to move practically half way across the world. I remember every little memory... Oh that shiny red slide, that cold sip, that jump, and those girly screams that got us in trouble! I remember it all like it was yesterday, the hard part is that is only the back story. Now, I realise that distance is only a test of friendship because till this day we are still the best of friends. Sure, distance may change things and it sure made things a lot harder, but one thing it that can't change is our friendship... <3 <3 <3 <3
