Props

Props we made from scratch: 

Fancy envelope: 

1. I looked up an envelope template and I cut it out to trace it on the red paper.

2. I cut it up and started folding it where the dashed lines were on the original template.

3. I glued it together and made sure that a piece of paper would fit inside.

Letter: 

1. Before I started writing the letter, I had to make sure paper fit into the envelope because it was a pretty small envelope. Since regular paper wouldn't look good or fit, I decided to use this paper from a journal I had lying around.

2. I then cut the end off to make it look like it wasn't from a ringed book.

3. I then went on Canva to find some nice fonts to see how I should write it and I found a perfect one called Sulat Rizal

4. Next I wrote a draft in pencil to see how it looked

5. Then I wrote it in pen, I added some words to it as well. 

Logo/Wax Seal:

My partner made this super nice 3D logo out of her nail gel and chrome powder!! Were planning on putting this on the front of the envelope, and the wax seal will be on the back where you open it.

1. print the words out, she used the font New Icon 

2. Use builder gel to make the letters. Roll it into a thin worm then use a spatula to shape it on the paper

3. Cure it under UV light 

4. Dust the chrome powder on

1. Roll the builder gel to a ball

2. Stamp the gel with a round cap

3. Use dotting tool to engrave the % logo

4. Cure it under UV light

5. Dust it with chrome powder

Overdue Bills:

My partner found a cool website where you can find some fake debt mail templates. She edited it to look like it was addressed to Alea Punter. She also named the street Alea lived on to be "Albatross Street", because an albatross is a bird that symbolizes debt. 

After she printed a few papers of the bills out, she put them in the regular white envelopes and used her printer to print out what they would usually stamp on past due bills. 

Props we DON'T need to make from scratch but will use: 

Lottery Tickets/Scratch offs: 

Dirty Dishes/Full sink, they don't have to be dirty we will probably just stack a few dishes under like one or two saucy ones: 

Microwaved Popcorn/Snack (not healthy):

Were going to start filming tomorrow and hopefully we can get it done this weekkkk! But still have it look very nice, because I don't want a bad looking project, but we probably shouldn't spend too much time on filming because I think editing takes a lot more effort....

OH YEA Happy Valentines Day :)
