Big/Little crafting can be very stressful, especially when it comes to deciding what to craft. Here are a few tips on how to make the crafting process easier.
As big/little reveal quickly approaches, many of you are beginning to stress over the perfect big/little crafts. Knowing you have to craft is easy. It’s when you actually start crafting that things get difficult.
Don’t worry; all sophomores
are in the same boat! Here are a few helpful hints for making unique and
personal big/little crafts.
Start early! If you start early you
can have a few mishaps in the beginning and still have time to create masterpieces by big/little
reveal. Start by planning and mapping out each craft. Most girls start on
Pinterest and find just about every idea they can’t imagine themselves. Next,
you want to take a trip to Hobby Lobby for your supplies. Luckily, Hobby Lobby
knows what us sophomores have to do around this time, so there are always sales!
Once you have your supplies -- and
your closest sisters crowded into your room for support -- it's time to craft.
Turn on a classic chick flick and
get your paintbrush wet. If you’re anything like me, starting a project is the
hardest part, so take a pencil and draw out what you’re about to create.
A few
of my favorite crafts have been simple, yet personal. Use your little’s initials
and create a cute monogram, make a family tree, or even a modge podge of pictures
from bid day to big/little reveal. All of these things will make your little
feel special and loved!
As a little, I was never expecting
anything extravagant when it came to crafts. You have to remember that
big/little crafts last almost as long as college does, but your memories with
your little last a lifetime.
When it comes to big/little reveal, the overall experience and your fantastic job at surprising her will fill her
with so much joy she will not know what to do with all of her brand new assets
to her dorm room.
Have fun and focus on your little because, soon enough, your
little will have to start crafting and you will be a grand big.
