Few days back was my close friend’s
birthday and so I was in dilemma how to make it special for her. Then one day I
just came up with an idea but I was not sure whether it will look good or bad. I
started working on this idea from the very next day and it took 2 days to get
ready. It turned out to be amazing and so creative that is why I am here to
share procedure for making an adorable Souvenir on blog. This cute souvenir is best to give to someone special and
close to your heart.
This idea is very simple to
execute and you just need some patience for it. Let us start with procedure:
Step 1: Take a white sheet which
must be thick. Decide which word you want to use in your souvenir. You can
choose the name of the person for whom this souvenir is meant for or any word
of your choice. I have selected word RANK as it depicts the name of my girl’s
gang. Now write this word in capital and bold letters on the white sheet. You can
use stencils for that or you can directly write by yourself like I did. Letter must
be clear and big. Also letter should be in continuation. Now cut this word with
the scissor. Cut another same word so you must have two copies of the chosen
word.
Step 2: Take a thin wooden stick and cut two
equal sticks from it. Take blue color tape and cover these sticks as shown in
figure. Leave some part of the stick unwrapped at the top. Now take one cut out
of word which is cut in the previous step and paste unwrapped part of each
stick on both the sides of the cut out as shown in image. Take other cut out of
the word and paste it on the top of the sticks such that the word looks same
when viewed from any side. Let it dry properly.
Step 3: Take four colors of
sparkles for each letter in the word. Apply glue on one letter and sprinkle
sparkle on it. Do this process for other letters and for the back side also. Your
center part is ready. Keep it aside to dry.
Step 4: Cut eight small hearts of
equal size from the white sheet. Color them with your choice of colors. I have
selected four colors to color them such that two hearts have same color. Let them
dry properly.
Step 5: Cut four equal sized
sticks from the wooden stick. Take colored tapes and cover these sticks as done
before. Leave some part of the stick unwrapped at the top. Now take hearts of
same color and paste them back to back having stick between them as shown in
image. Ready all four hearts with sticks. Take a fluorescent sheet and cut four
strips out of it. Paste each one on the heart and write anything on it. Take a crafting wire and wrap it at the bottom
of 4 hearts to join them in a batch as shown in the image. You can wrap in any
way as this wire will not be visible in the final product.
Step 6: Take two plastic bowls. Take
some plaster of paris in one big bowl and add water to make a paste of uniform
consistency. The paste should not be too thick or too thin. Take another bowl
of your choice and place the center part and hearts part as shown in the image.
While holding them, pour pop paste in to the bowl till it gets filled completely.
Now lift both the parts little upward so they get firm in pop. After sometime,
leave the parts and let it dry for a day to get rock solid.
Step 7: Carefully remove the bowl
from the base. Color the base and the sides black. Take a pattern sheet of pink
color and cut a small rectangle out of it. Write any message or thought over it
and round its corners. Paste the rectangle on the front of the central part.
Step 8: Take some colored sheets
and prepare small roses. You can make roses of any color but make sure they
must be small. Then paste these flowers on the empty spaces. Leave empty space
behind heart sticks. Click here to learn how to make roses.
Step 9: Take three marbles and
paste them behind the heart’s part. If there is still any empty space left
color them with blue color.
Step 10: This step is optional. If
the varnish is available with you then apply it at base to give smooth and
shiny texture. Souvenir is ready!!
Happy DIY!!
