This was a long gestating project over lockdown. There was a lot that went into it. But essentially, I got 6 large boxes and wrapped them in ribbon with colour coded balloons like in the game. I filled the boxes with presents and then customized each one for each friend.
This was my first time sewing, which i made the sacks with bells on them. These were made from felt and filled with cotton wool, tied with ribbon and bells tied onto them to make them jingle.
For the message in a bottle items, I drew the recipe icon from the game, printed them small and used clear glue to seal them inside small craft bottles.
The fossil boxes were customised inside with patterned card, the fossil icons themselves were made by hand from clay and a small keyring was put inside each one.
For the birthday cards, I downloaded PNG files of some of the game characters and added rude phrases (censored in the photos!) and added icons from the game in the backgrounds. The envelopes were then sealed with stickers I made in Illustrator featuring game icons.
For the final personal touch, I designed custom travel labels, once again using logos from the game and actual information from real travel labels, then adding each persons’ name and island name as the destinations.
