Diy Capricorn sign to decorate /Diy Signo Capricornio para decorar

We start 2025 and by the way I wish you all a Happy New Year to everyone... January begins with the sign Capricorn, which covers from December 22 to January 19. It is represented by half goat, half fish, this because it represents Amalthea who in Greek mythology was that way. The combination of goat and fish symbolizes the ability to adapt to different environments and circumstances. Goats are agile and can climb mountains, while fish are experts at swimming. This duality represents versatility and the ability to overcome obstacles.

Our Community Hive Diy invited us to participate in the Edition No. 25 of Actívate to celebrate the essence of the Capricorn sign. I wanted to make a kind of tribute to this sign, and for this I made a Craft to frame and have in some space decorating and giving personality, and since we all have an acquaintance of each sign, this painting will have an owner soon. I invite you to see this Tutorial... Welcome to my blog.

Lo primero era conseguir un Vector del signo Capricornio. Para ello, utilicé a la aplicación Canva, y lo busqué en Elementos.

El vector que conseguí del signo Capricornio y con es realmente este signo, la cabra está mirando hacia la izquierda. Para yo trabajar de la forma que lo voy a hacer, necesito "girar" este diseño y lo van a ver más adelante. Entonces, duplico el diseño y los coloco viendo hacia la derecha. A la hora de imprimir, puse más claro el color para ahorrar tinta.

📢📢Remember that you can click on each image to zoom in and see any detail you want.

Here you can see the images that I printed in gray. I marked to divide up to where I was going to represent the goat in one color and the fish tail in the other, and I cut it. First I worked with the tail and for this I had a piece of aquamarine frosted cardboard, of the same size.

I glued the copy on the back and spread it out, then I glued it to the back of the aquamarine cardstock.

With this fixed or glued, I can cut out the entire figure. This is the reason I rotated the image in Canva, so that by gluing it on the back and cutting it out, the figure remains as it was originally.

I glued the goat figure onto gold metallic cardstock and cut it out as well.

I can see or reference the design by looking at the other image I had printed that is upside down, or on the screen where I have Canva open.

To cut out the goat's eye, which is very small, I used a cutter and it was very easy to make this cut.

I already have all the elements of the Capricorn figure ready, now I'm going to mount them on the frame.

I've had this frame for a few weeks now. I bought it for $0.60 and there are many models on the market. I took it apart and took the sheet inside to cut the same size on the white cardboard that I will use as a background to place the Capricorn.

I wanted you to notice that the sheet I'm using to attach the Capricorn image is a cardstock made of thread. It's thicker than normal cardstock and you can really see the thread. Although you can't see it in the photos, in person it really adds to the whole design.

I took the frame apart and glued the Capricorn design on with white glue, then I put the whole frame back together and it's ready.

I chose the materials so that the gold metallic cardboard reflects the light differently, depending on how it hits it. Likewise, the aquamarine frosted cardboard gives it personality by representing the water, where the fish moves.

I loved the whole design, it is something that can decorate any Capricorn space with personality and interest, and since I'm writing this post my children already want to have this product to give to someone they know of this sign.

I hope you enjoyed this craft. I invite you all to participate in this Actívate Initiative, and especially my daughter @viviana.fitness and my son @gardenkaiser, who I am sure will make their own version of Capricorn.
