Quick & easy craft for birthday TOMMOROW

3 replies

Hiccupiscal · 17/09/2020 12:07

hello mumsnet,
Its DPs birthday tommorow and I have done nothing!
First of all we have no money, as we've been waiting for payment from our clients that has not arrived (was expected this week)
Secondly, I have been terribly poorly all week- which may or may not be covid, resulting in me isolating myself.

So it's DPs birthday tomorrow and hes told me he doesn't want anything, but to let it pass without so much as a card is just so sad after the awful year we are experiencing

Ive been googling home made/DIY gifts but can't find anything that suits...

Can anyone throw me any craft ideas that I could do today or prehaps whilst he is working tommorow? ...any ideas for homemade cards, gifts, any way to mark the occasion at home? Im actaully really stuck. Not feeling very well is also taking a big toll.

Any inspiration or suggestions very warmly welcomed! Thanks!

Compile some sort of playlist? Songs relating to you both/his interests/special places.

I should qualify this by saying that I have no idea how easy this is - I am a bit of a technophobe and would need a child to help me (I had to get my son to burn a CD of songs for our silver anniversary!)

Just find a postcard sized piece of card - cut up a cereal packet or something if you are really stuck - and write it out like a gift voucher/IOU for something that he would enjoy when things are a bit more back to normal.

Look on Pinterest for easy card/cake/craft ideas. There are funny silly ones such as a roll of loo roll with in case you get crap for Christmas/birthday and many other ideas

thank you for suggestions, I dug out a friendship bracelet book and made one!
He doesnt usually wear any jewellery but he had said in the past if i ever made him something he would wear it.
Ive made a simple handmade card with our picture on the front.
I'm hoping I feel better tommorow and i will go to the shops and get stuff to make a cake prehaps and for a nice meal (even though my cooking is not good!) .. ill decorate the house while he's at work and hope he appreciates it...

Any other suggestions to make the day special on a budget would be happily received!
