How to make a glitter bunting with Picmonkey!

A severe back pain and a cold (all at the same time) has kept me from making my crafts this week! (I have so many things I want to do!) I try to stay in bed as much as I can (but it seems really impossible) so I kept myself busy by making a summer printable. I wanted to incoporate a bunting in my printable and even thought Picmonkey has a bunch of them to pick, I needed a glitter one! So I'm sharing with you a way to make your own glitter (or any other textured) bunting with Picmonkey! Seriously you can use numerous textures and pictures to make this.

Ένας πόνος στην πλάτη και ενα κρυολόγημα (ναι και τα δυο μαζι) με εχουν καθηλώσει και δεν μπόρεσα αυτη την εβδομάδα να κάνω καμια κατασκευή! (και ήθελα τόσα να κάνω!) Προσπαθώ να μένω ξαπλωμένη αλλά όπως καταλαβαίνετε αυτό είναι σχεδόν αδύνατο! Έτσι αντι για κατασκευές αποφάσισα να φτιάξω ενα εκτυπώσιμο καλοκαιρινό! Ήθελα να χρησιμοποιήσω μια γιρλάντα με σημαιάκια και παρόλο που το Picmonkey εχει αρκετές για να διαλέξεις, εγω ήθελα μια γκλιτερ! Έτσι σήμερα θα σας δείξω πώς την έφτιαξα μόνη μου! Οι οδηγίες παρακάτω είναι στα αγγλικά αλλά επειδή και το picmonkey είναι στα Αγγλικά δεν βρήκα το λόγο να τις μεταφράσω! Αν κάτι δεν είναι ξεκάθαρο, ρωτήστε με!

First you need to find a glitter (or any other) picture you like and save it to your computer. I used this and this. (you can use more than 2). Please make sure the images you use are offered free and always check their terms of use. Open Picmonkey and choose design - square. On the canvas color option don't forget to check "transparent".

 Then go to textures and choose "your own" and upload your picture.Then choose "Frames"-"shape cutouts"-triangle and a triangle with your texture will appear.

Save it as PNG. Repeat this steps to make as many different triangles you like. Next we are creating a line. I couldn't find a line I wanted so I got creative! Choose overlays - geometric and pick the oval shape.

Resize and move your oval around and place it as you see in the picture below. Using the pop-up menu change the colours to colour 1=black and colour 2=transparent.

Using the "eraser" option again from the pop-up menu, erase the above lines and create this curved line you see below. I also changed it's colour.

Next we are going to attach those triangles we made (remember?). From the overlay menu-choose "open my own" and upload your first triangle. You can turn it upside down using the arrows at the pop-up menu.

Move it around to attach it to the line as you see below.

Repeat this step to upload another triangle and place it next to the first one. For the third triangle and so on you don't need to upload more! Using right click on each of the triangles and the option "dublicate overlay" you just basically copy the triangles and then place them wherever you like.

And that's what it will look like when finished : (don't forget to save as PNG)

I was thrilled with the outcome and this is so versatile! You can use any picture you like, you can make your bunting floral, metallic etc. The possibilites are endless! And who doesn't love bunting? It's great for birthday party invitations or even for creating a printable bunting for your party!

So, what do you think? Did you find this helpful? Will you use it? If you make your own I would love to see it! Drop me the link! 

Το αποτέλεσμα με ενθουσίασε! ¨Ηταν ακριβως ότι ήθελα! Με αυτό τον τρόπο μπορείς να φτιάξεις δεκάδες διαφορετικές γιρλάντες, οι δυνατότητες είναι αμέτρητες! Και σε ποιον δεν αρέσουν αυτές οι γιρλάντες με τα σημαιάκια? Είναι τέλειες για προσκλητήρια γενεθλιών ή ακόμη μπορείτε να φτιάξετε αληθινά εκτυπωμένα σημαιάκια όπως τα θέλετε! 

Για πείτε μου εντυπώσεις! Θα το χρησιμοποιήσετε? Αν φτιάξετε κάτι πολυ θα ήθελα να το δω! Αφήστε μου λινκ!
