Filthy Casual for Life

It’s six months away, and I am so hyped. I still can’t believe I got section 100 tickets to BTS in Arlington!

I already started making my freebies. I decided to package two photocards and a stretch bracelet in an envelope. That way, they’re easy to pass out.

Photo cards. If you’re not part of a fandom that shares or collects photo cards, you might be wondering what they are. They’re exactly as it sounds. They’re wallet-sized printed photos. They’re very popular with kpop groups. They’re often included in promo materials and albums.

I created the photo cards last week and I am really happy with how they turned out. I designed the photo cards on Canva and then had them printed at Office Depot. Then, I laminated them and used my husband’s card punch to cut them out. I hope Army likes the pictures I chose!

Bracelets. I have never made jewelry before, so I have no idea why I decided to make bracelets. Luckily, my best bud, Brad, knows his stuff and kind of walked me through his supplies and tips and tricks. I find it oddly satisfying. I settled on making 25 of each member’s name for a total of 175 sets of freebies. I decided instead of going all purple, I matched their known microphone colors. So far, I have completed JIN in pink and JUNGKOOK in purple.

I was able to finish all of Jungkook and Jin and started on Jimin, but I ran out of hearts! New supplies should be arriving tomorrow (Monday).

Cruising Ducks. Intertwined with all the hype is our cruise coming up in less than 30 days. I printed out our duck tags and laminated them. Then, I attached them to 50 ducks. It’s going to be fun passing these out.

So, I just realized I spent the whole weekend making things for complete strangers! Kind of made me feel good about myself!
