What is "gækkebreve"?

Heeeeeeeello everyone! Hope that you all have a really great time!
So the first time i wrote about some easter diy, i showed you some different ways to decorate eastereggs. So today we´re going to make something make something else for easter, something we on danish calls "gækkebreve".

What is "gækkebreve"?

In Denmark we have a traditon for making "gækkebreve" (easter letters).
You clip in a piece of paper until you think it´s good enough, then you write a Little rhyme in it about easter and chocolate easter egg. The thing is that you don´t sign the paper, instead of a name you make small dots in that number of leters in your name. Then the one who gets the letter shall guess your name, if he/she dosen´t do that before ester is over, you get a chocolate easter egg. Traditionaly you also put a snowdrop in the letter.

So here are the ones i have made:

So this is the first one i made. Sadly a Little bit of the paper broke, if you look at the snowdrops in top, you can see that they are different from all the other snowdrops. So be careful whenyou open the paper.

by the way, normally you make a Space in the letter for the rhyme, but i don´t think that i´m going to send any of these so í haven´t done that.

   
















I figured out that it looks prettier when you make them a Little bit smaller, less Space to fill out.

 

I even made some mini ones. they are so cute! Easter letters are so great, they are so beautiful and easy to make! Let me see your letters with the hashtag #justeasterdiy #justeasterletters

 

So what will i do with the "letters" if i´m not going to send them? Simple, hanging them up on the wall for a cute easter decoration.

 

It looks really cute, and i think that it would look even cuter if they are bigger!

 

 

 

okay first small, and then bigger, what? normally= a Little bit smaller. On the wall= bigger.

 

 

 

so hope you enjoyed! And remember that my blog is both on twitter and blogloving, see you. Bye.
