How to make a 'Let's Get Inspired' board?

Assalamualaikum and hi readers. I created this craft about 30 minutes ago. So, I'm going to show you how to make this simple board using corrugated cardboards again. Enjoy!

How to make a 'Let's Get Inspired' board?



What you need:

1) Corrugated cardboards (you should have at least two different colours of cardboards)
2) Adhesive/Glue
3) A pair of scissors
4) Ruler
5) Pencil

For the design, you need:

1) Any picture/photo which you can relate to your selected quote. (You may draw it or simply get a picture from the Internet)
2) Your favourite quote (printed on a plain, white paper/coloured paper)

Steps in making a 'Let's Get Inspired' board:

1) Cut your corrugated cardboard into a 10x15 cm rectangle.



2) To make the border of the cardboard, you should have 4 small strips of black-coloured corrugated cardboard that look like these.



3) Now, paste the strips horizontally followed by other two strips vertically.





4) I chose a picture of an umbrella to be related to my quote. Feel free to choose any picture that you like. You might also like to paste your own picture.



5)Adjust the position of the picture so that your quote can be pasted perfectly next to it. You can use your creativity to determine the position of your picture as well as your favourite quote.



We're done! Hope you like it!



Useful tips:

1) The quote that I used was in Footlight MT Light (bold), font 20.
2) You can simply use any size of the board for your craft.
3) You can also make an envelope that can fit the board. This 'Let's Get Inspired' board is also a great gift to be given to a friend.

How to make a simple bookmark?

Assalamualaikum and hello everyone. It's been a while since a new craft is posted here. So today, Red Craft is going to show you how to make a very simple yet creative bookmark. You can use it for yourselves or even make it as a gift. Hope you like it!

How to make a simple bookmark:



What you need:

1) 2 corrugated cardboards (thin)-Black and any colour



2) Silver-coloured paper/chocolate wrapper/aluminium foil
3) Brown-coloured paper/beige-coloured paper
4) A pair of scissors
5) Adhesive/glue
6) Pencil
7) Ruler

Steps in making a bookmark

1) Take any colour of the cardboards and measure it as shown below. ( I'm using the black cardboard as the base)



2) Turn the cardboard to the other side (the white side) and draw the lines as shown using a pencil (at the edge of the cardboard).



Cut the slanted lines so that you'll get something that looks like this.



3) Take another cardboard and cut it as shown.



4) Using an adhesive, stick the smaller cardboard (red) on the black cardboard as shown.



5) Now, cut the silver-coloured paper/chocolate wrapper/aluminium foil into a small strip as shown so that it can fit perfectly beside the red cardboard.



Apply some glue on it and place it beside the red cardboard.



6) We're almost done. Complete your bookmark by cutting the brown-coloured paper into something like this. Also, cut the black cardboard into a very small triangle to be placed at the tip of the pencil (bookmark, I mean). Stick them well.





Yes, we're done! There you go, a bookmark!



I'M JUST KIDDING. There you have it, a bookmark!




Useful tips:

1) Besides using corrugated cardboards, you might also like to use other types of paper as long as they are suitable to be made into a bookmark.
2) You might also love to use some glitter, stickers and others to decorate it.
3) You can also write your name or your friend's name on the bookmark.
4) It's also nice to punch a small hole at the edge of the bookmark and tie a small ribbon to it.
5) You could also use many colours of your cardboards to make your bookmark more attractive.
