Making an invitation to Halloween with your own hands
The Halloween invitation is both similar and unlike the invitation associated with other holidays. Do-it-yourself party invitations for children must be created in an unusual format that matches the spirit of the celebration. That is why it is important for everyone to know how to make funny and cool invitations, how to create beautiful pictures.
How to make a pumpkin card?
A creative invitation to a Halloween party with your own hands with the image of a touchingly aggressive holiday symbol is one of the best options. For work, you will definitely need a cardboard of an industrial design (it can be replaced by the wrong side of ordinary cardboard). Additionally, you will need at least 1 sheet of orange, black and yellow tones. And besides them, you need:
-
corrector pencil;
-
glue of your choice;
-
black and white and orange and white melange threads;
-
scissors.
Two eyes and a characteristic "pumpkin" smile, which is created from black cardboard, act as templates for work. The green leaf is used to make a "handle" for the festive berry. The main body is naturally orange.
Whether to draw mock-ups on their own or print ready-made samples is up to the lovers of crafts, depending on self-confidence and free time.
When the templates are ready, you need to do the following:
-
cut the cardboard sheet in half across;
-
fold it in half lengthwise;
-
fold the upper front part in half again, while bending the upper edge outward;
-
collect pumpkin;
-
glue all its parts to each other in order;
-
put the resulting pumpkin on a postcard, achieving the coincidence of the bend with the line of symmetry;
-
circle the top quarter and cut through, striving for the free opening and closing of the invitation;
-
complement the product with a small amount of melange thread;
-
make out the postcard with a dotted line around the entire perimeter, using a corrective pencil if necessary.
Fancy invitation with a ghost
An invitation to a Halloween-themed children's party can be done differently. This ominous and attractive celebration is unthinkable without all sorts of ghosts and phantoms - so why should one of them not show off on an invitation card. It will be quite easy to make such a composition, even for children who have no experience with paper at all. The sequence of steps is as follows:
-
take blue cardboard, and a 15x15 cm block is cut out of it;
-
two bats and a mysterious wall or fence are made of black material;
-
standing ghost - made of white cardboard;
-
add a full yellow moon;
-
glue the blanks to the base;
-
complement the ghost and the bat with expressive eyes, as if looking into the very soul;
-
write the text of the appeal on a postcard or hide a piece of paper with it in a special pocket.
More ideas
Of course, these two options for the design of invitations to Halloween are not limited to. You can think of many other funny and beautiful options. For example, a voodoo doll looks very good and atmospheric. By joking your invitation to her, they immediately set the guests the necessary mood and even, we will not be afraid of this word, some courage.
The gothic book will also be extremely effective; for the entourage, a herbarium and drawings of bats are applied to it.
Another good option is an almost ordinary invitation. With the simplest text and appeal. The only caveat is that it looks "bloody", conveying the flavor of Halloween. Postcards in an emphatically old-fashioned form will also look original at the "day of witches and magic". One of these options is shown in the photo - but this is only the basis, which can be easily changed to your liking.
Other possible options:
-
an ordinary postcard with a silhouette of a witch flying on a broomstick;
-
invitation card with an expressive skull on the cover (to make everything look more mysterious, the inscription is scattered in a chaotic manner, and it will not be easy to read it);
-
witch's cap;
-
ancient scrolls.
The last option is even worth considering in more detail. It can be made from large sheets or from halves. Tea and coffee are used to age paper. The workpiece is screwed onto a pencil or other rod, giving it a characteristic shape. It is advisable to burn the paper several times from the edges, as well as supplement the composition and text with miniature ominous figures.
