DIY Skylanders Giants Birthday Party Invitations

MATERIALS
Computer & [Colour] Printer
4×6 photo paper, matte or glossy
Permanent Marker or Envelopes

METHOD

1. Use a webrowser such as google to search for “Skylanders Poster” images.
2. Copy the image file or take a screen shot of the image.
3. Load the image to a free online photo editor such as ipiccy or fotoflexer. [We used ipiccy]
4. Using the editor’s paint tools [on ipiccy, this is the “Painter” tab], create a black oval shape in the center of your image or wherever you want your text to appear.
5. Using the editor’s text tools [on ipiccy, this is under the “Blender” tab], add brightly coloured text to convey your invitation and all of the details such as date, time, place and rsvp. [We used the “Fontdiner” font for the larger text and the “Swagger” font for the details of the invite.]
6. Save the image to your computer.
7. Print the image using a “borderless” printing option on 4×6 photo paper, 1 per guest.
8. Use a permanent marker to write the invitees’ names on the backs of the photo pages OR Place the photo invites in envelopes and address them.
