Create the Tarot Cards Group 2 Group 2 Get Creative: This is your chance to add a personal touch to your tarot deck! Design a cover that reflects your connection to the cards. You can use decorative paper, fabric, paint, or even draw your own design. Measure and Cut: Measure your tarot deck to determine the size of the cover. Cut the cardboard and your chosen decorative material to the correct size. Attach: Glue the decorative material to the cardboard, ensuring it’s smooth and wrinkle-free. 4. Export and Print Tarot Planner Group 2 Group 2 Save as PDF: When you’re finished designing your planner pages, save the file as a PDF. This ensures that your design will print correctly with the proper formatting and layout. Print the Planner Pages: Print the PDF file of your planner pages on regular printer paper. Make sure you have enough pages for your desired planner thickness. If you want a thicker planner, you can print on heavier paper or use cardstock. Cut the Cardboard: Now it’s time to create the box itself! Place your tarot deck and notepad (or the printed planner inserts) on the cardboard and arrange them how you’d like them to fit inside the box. Leave some extra space around the edges for the box walls and lid. Use a pencil to trace around the items and add extra space for the walls and lid. Then, carefully cut the cardboard along the lines you’ve drawn. You should have: One base piece (this will be the bottom of the box) Two side pieces (these will form the sides of the box) Two end pieces (these will form the ends of the box) One lid piece (make this slightly larger than the base to create an overhang) Binding the Tarot Planner Box Assemble the Box: Before gluing, it’s helpful to “score” the cardboard pieces where they will be folded. This means lightly drawing a line with a sharp tool (like a bone folder or the back of a butter knife) to create a crease. This will help you make neat and crisp folds when you assemble the box. Apply glue to the tabs of the side and end pieces. Carefully align and attach the side and end pieces to the base piece, forming the box structure. Use clips or weights to hold the pieces together while the glue dries completely. Decorate the Box: Now it’s time to add some personality to your box! Cut pieces of decorative paper or fabric to cover each side of the box and the lid. Make sure the pieces are large enough to cover the entire surface of each piece of cardboard. Apply glue to the cardboard and carefully adhere the paper or fabric, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. Trim any excess paper or fabric with scissors or a craft knife for a neat and polished look. Attach the Notepad or Planner Inserts: Apply glue to the back cover of the notepad or the last page of your planner inserts. Position the notepad or planner inserts on the inside of the lid, leaving enough space at the bottom for your tarot cards. Press firmly and let the glue dry completely. You can use weights or clamps to hold the notepad in place while it dries. Add Finishing Touches: This is where you can get creative and personalize your Tarot Planner Box! Decorate the box with embellishments like ribbons, washi tape, or charms. Consider adding a
