11. Congratulatory poster
You can design and present a beautiful congratulatory poster for your sister or brother for your birthday. For example, a photo collage, where pictures of the birthday person in different periods of his life will be posted. Such an unexpected present will evoke a lot of pleasant memories and will certainly delight the birthday boy.
The kid will love the poster with the images of his favorite cartoon characters. Make it in the form of a comic, post congratulatory poems or wishes in prose.
12. Floating cup
Do it yourself and present an original table decoration to a loved one for his birthday - a floating cup, from which lush flowers "flow" onto the saucer in a thin stream. Such beauty will not leave anyone indifferent!
For work, you need to prepare a cup and saucer, hot glue, artificial flowers and a thick wire (you can take a two-wire one). Instead of a wire, you can use any other support that is able to hold the cup, such as a plug. The saucer must also be large enough to hold the cup.
Bend the wire (plug) and glue one end to the cup and the other to the saucer. Next, cut off the buds of the artificial flowers and glue them, moving from the bottom of the cup to the saucer. The support must be hidden especially well.
Such floating cups can be made using coffee beans, sweets, fake berries, and more instead of flowers.
