♡Ideas for Affordable Extras♡

┌─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───────┐

hello sunshines!! :dizzy:

So i’m back with another blog post, and this one is about cheap extras!!

I see a lot of people talking about how they want to send their penpals extras, but don’t have the money to purchase stationery and stuff, so I decided to come up with some ideas for cheap things that you can send to them!!

└─────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆───────┘

So lets get started!!

:hearts: ♡ :hearts: ♡ :hearts: ♡ :hearts: ♡ :hearts: ♡ :hearts: ♡ :hearts:

Idea Number 1:

a mood board!!

I love making collages like this in my journal, so I thought that it would also be a cute thing to send to a penpal! I was in a rush when I made this so it doesn’t look great, but I still think it’s a cute thing to send!

All you need to do is print out some pictures that are the same color or near the same color, and put them in a nice little collage on a sheet of paper! And if you can’t print with colored ink, you can always just do a b&w theme!!

Your penpals could use this as a decoration in their room, or just to hold on to!!

Idea Number 2:

Fanart drawings!

Lmao both of these are supposed to be Taehyung, but i’m not a good artist. I just made these to show as an example, hopefully y’alls would look better than this :joy:

But these would be very cute to send your penpals, and it’s completely free!! I just quickly drew the fanart and pasted it to a paint sample (if you guys don’t already know by now, I love paint samples :joy: ), and on the back of the paint sample I pasted down some of my old sheet music and wrote a little quote!!

Your pp could put this in their bujo’s, decorate with it, or just hold onto it as a keepsake!! It’s really cute thing to send!!

(this is the reference photo I used for the second one!! credit to @rm_rapmonster for the original design!!!)

Idea Number 3:

DIY Stickers!!

This were completely free for me to make because my mom had name label paper just laying around the house, so I used that instead of sticker paper :joy:

However even if your parent(s) don’t have random label paper laying around, you can still make your own stickers by just buying sticker paper and printing them out on that!!

Your pp would love this!! Everyone loves stickers, especially fanart stickers!!!

Last Idea:

Photocards!!

There’s plenty of apps where you can get free photocards!! Some of the most popular are Frameshot, Freeprints, and Shutterfly! Although most of the time you still have to pay for shippinf, however on Frameshot and Freeprints, your first order is free shipping!

Actually, I think Frameshot is always free shipping. I’m sorry, i can’t 🤦🏽‍♀

But anyways, there’s probably some other free apps as well!! And you can always print your own too! All of the ones in the photo were printed on my home printer!!

Welp, that’s all for this one you guys! If y’all are interested, I can come up with more Ideas and do a pt. 2, so comment if you would want that!!

And , extras are never necessary!! That’s probably why they’re called extras 🤷🏽‍♀ All you really need to send is a letter!!
