This
is an easy step in making D.I.Y gift for your friends…
P/S:
I did it for my friend’s wedding gift…
What
you may need is:
1.
Scissor
2.
Coloured Paper
3.
Glue ( and Cellotape)
4.
Blank DVD
5.
DVD Case
6.
Glue
7.
Printer
8.
Laptop
Let
us start now…
First,
by using your laptop (of course) compile the wedding pictures and video as one
single movie. You can use any movie maker software that you like (I’m using
Windows Live Movie Maker) and once you’re finished burn in into a DVD.
Secondly,
design the cover for you D.I.Y gift (The DVD cover). You can use any software
that you like as well and you can just put anything that you want to be on the
cover such as the title of the Movie, the groom’s name and so on. Since the DVD
has back and front cover, you need to do two different designs to make it look
better. You can also do another design for the inner part of the DVD cover
(like I did).
Thirdly,
you need to print it out in your preferred colored paper. Make sure the size
is not too big (as more that half of the A4 paper) to prevent from having an
ugly result (the best result is if the writing and drawing is put just nice at
the center.
Fourthly,
cut the printed designs according to the size of your DVD case. Make sure you
measure them accurately to prevent the wasting of paper (and money).
Now
that you have cut it out nicely, you can place them into their place (Front
cover, back cover, inner side). Don’t forget to put a cello tape on every edge
of the paper so that it wont fall when the gift receiver open them.
Finally,
place the DVD inside and don’t forget to leave your autograph (as you are the
artist) on the inner part of the DVD.
Now,
you have a nice D.I.Y gift for your beloved friend. You may think that it looks
cheap (of course it is – less than RM10) but it has a very expensive aesthetic
value! Trust Me! So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try! Ok?
Thats all for now! Love you all!
With Love,
Gior D' Ray
