AHAAN & AYAAN

I have a habit of making customized Greeting cards. In this process, I wish to gift one of my Friend's kids the same & this Idea came to my mind. As you see both their names are rhyming AHAAN & AYAAN.

I came up with the idea of switching the single alphabet & make a floating Greeting card for them both simultaneously.

For Ideas:

Initially, I used Autodesk Sketchbook from our daughter's Ipad for basic form & changes in the alphabet 'H' & 'Y'.

For Working:

Basic cardboard for backing.

Color paper - Blue/Aqua.

Pencil

Eraser.

Paper knife.

Plastic straw.

Black pen.

Glue to stick.

I tried various types of alphabet placement in between 'H' & 'Y' over Sketchbook.

Finally, I decided to have a smaller case of the alphabet to make the proper greeting card for both the kids.

Autodesk Sketchbook helped a lot to overlap layers & rotate them to crosscheck weather the purpose was served properly.

This is the final output of the card with both names simultaneously.

The elder one is Ayaan

&

The younger one is Ahaan.

I used a small plastic straw to fix this flexible alphabet on the backing card. This Straw plays a major key role in switching the names over the card. It acts as an axis point to twist the alphabet.

First make a hole in the backing card, making the same size of the hole to the 'H/Y' alphabet & place the level barrier between both of them. Keep the straw in between & seal it with a hot air blower. As the plastic melts, it automatically creates the lock to the flexible alphabet and the backing card.

Finally the alphabet 'H/Y' can be rotated with the plastic straw acting as an axis.

This is how the final output of the card is made for visual understanding.
