How to Make Your Own Tarot Cards

By Linda McKinney 27 July, 2023 2 mins read

You can make your own tarot card in many ways. You can either purchase illustrations on Creativemarket or build them using programs like Canva and Photoshop. Although the latter is more affordable, you will need to choose a compelling image with meaningful words.

Making a tarot-card deck

Before you can begin designing your tarot cards deck, you need to be familiar with the meanings and symbols of each card. You can learn more about these symbols and meanings by reading tarot guidebooks or online guides. Each card is a symbol for a specific event, teaching or emotion. You can take some creative license when interpreting the symbols, but you should avoid making sweeping changes to the standard meanings.

Remember the purpose you are creating the tarot card deck. You want to create a deck that speaks directly to you and meets your specific needs. Your deck should be both attractive and useful.

How to choose the right tarot card picture

Think about the meaning of each card before you choose an image for your tarot card cards. A meaningful image can make a deck more meaningful. You should choose an image that is meaningful to you, whether you're creating tarot-cards for yourself or sharing with others.

Tarot cards can be purchased in stores, but you can make your own deck to get a deeper meaning. Your deck will give you more power than any store-bought deck. Make sure you take your time and give your best to your project.

How to create a tarot deck layout

Tarot card layouts are designed in different ways. Some layouts are horizontal and others vertical. Others are circular. You can only pick a few designs if you have a traditional deck. However, an oracle card will let you choose as many as possible. As a rule of thumb, you should create a spread that is representative of the person you are reading for.

The tarot deck layout should contain the meanings and symbols of the cards. To create the layout, you might use Procreate on your iPad. But, you can also use scissors to cut and paint thinners. Although creating a layout should be enjoyable, it can be time-consuming and frustrating. When you're designing a deck, it's good to get the opinion of someone who isn't a tarot reader. This can help improve the deck.

Tarot cards: Working with

The first step to working with tarot cards is to familiarize yourself with the cards. Pick one card at random each day and study it. You might find certain cards resonate more strongly with you than others. You don't have to go slow or take it easy. You'll eventually learn enough to interpret the Tarot cards for yourself.

It is important to treat your cards with respect and protect them. To protect their cards, some people use sandalwood oil or frankincense to place a crystal. Some people choose different oils or crystals depending on their situation and personal beliefs.
