Alpha Kappa Alpha Frog Ornament

Tis the season to be jolly..
These little AKA pink and green frog ornaments are full of jolly.  Liven up your own tree or give them away as Christmas gifts to your sorority sisters.

Use this idea and make your own sorority Christmas ornaments.

• Look for 3 wooden cut-outs of your mascot such as the frog in this example.  You will also need 3 Woodsies.
• I used the round shaped woodsies for this example.
• I painted the woodsie pink and when it dried, I used a Sharpie permanent markers to write the letters.
• This wooden circle (woodsie) was glued to the wooden frog.
• I cut a length or narrow pink ribbon and attached it to the wooden frog this way: With Elmer's Glue I made 2 little globs of glue on the back of the frog and put the ends of the ribbon in the glue.  Then I added another small drop of blue on top of the ribbon end. I allowed it to dry thoroughly (takes and hour or two).

That's it. Ready to hang on the tree!

Greetings from Delta Zeta

Make a Bunch of Sorority Letter Cards Tonight!

1. I bought a pack of a dozen 3" x 4" white cards with envelopes from Michaels or Hobby Lobby

2. Then I chose some pink and green scrapbook paper to cut the letters from.

3. Next I made a template by drawing the Delta and Zeta on cardboard. (This step takes the longest since  you want the letters to look right)

4. Then I cut out the cardboard template.

5. Next I traced with a pencil around the edge of the template letters onto the pink scrapbook paper.

6. Then I cut out the letters with scissors.

7. Last step: I used a glue stick to glue the letters on to the card.

That's It.

The reason I went to the trouble to make a cardboard template of the Delta and Zeta is because Read the rest of this entry »

When it comes to making cards, the sky is the limit.

Cards can be so easy to make and yet a handmade card gives more to your sorority sister than any bought card ever could.

The easiest card to make would be one with scrapbooking cardstock in your sorority colors embellished with stickers of your sorority mascot or flower.

Use markers or Sharpee pens to write your message. (it is a good ideas to practice writing your message on plain paper first so that you can see how it will look first.  You will probably be able to do a better job on the actual card if you practice first.)

The card in the picture is an M & M card. I covered up the M&M in the middle with the hand-painted lion.  A simple drawing like this one of the lion mascot is very easy to draw and paint.  Then I cut it out and glued it onto the card making a very special card.

For a standard card, fold a piece of scrapbooking cardstock (in your sorority color of course) in half. Decorate with your own painting, drawing, or use stickers or rubber stamp designs that represent your sorority's mascot, flower, letters, or whatever you like.

Choose a quote or poem to express your message or by all means, write your own.
