Make a Christmas card Inspired from Bass Fishing (3)

And here is your third choice, if you want your bass fishing Christmas card to be more memorable do it yourself. It’s the thought that counts, not the amount anyway!

An ordinary hand-made Christmas card is very special, how much more if it was motivated by bass fishing? Very peculiar is it not? And yet too easy!

Here’s what you will need:
  • a piece of card 17cm x 25cm
  • a piece of crepe paper or tissue paper slightly smaller than the card
  • several pieces of colored paper, recycled or interesting texture
  • metallic braid or cord, or colored ribbon inspire
  • ruler
  • glue
  • scissors
  • pinking shears
  • and of course do not forget your pictures with the bass fishes (have it scanned please)
And here’s the easy way to do it:
  1. Carefully fold the piece of card in half.
  2. Use a very small amount of glue to fix the tissue paper inside the card as a lining.
  3. Trim a piece of colored paper with pinking shears, so that it measures 13cm x 8cm. Glue it to the front of the card, leaving an equal margin on each side.
  4. Cut a simple shape - a Christmas tree, a star, bells etc. - from an interesting paper of a toning or contrasting color. Glue the shape to the front of the card.
  5. When you are done with that, edit the picture that you have just     scanned. You can use Paint Shop Pro for it.
There you have it, just use your creativity and you’ll have a Bass fishing Christmas card to give to a bass fishing enthusiast.
