First attempt at deck mod... it was scary when I did the first cut but very soon it felt more comfortable as I went along... using a guillotine cutter, a corner-rounder cutter, and a black marker for the edges... it’s wonky but I am so glad nonetheless to spend more time connecting with this deck, and I look forward to continuing my daily lessons with these cards!

So I trimmed the borders off the Black Moon Astrology Oracle! They look fab! Gonna black out the edges once I’m back home.
Waiting in my friend to arrive so we can dive into some yummy sushi and a Tarot Reading!
I am in love with my trimmed #UniversalWaite ! I love the popping colors and it really helps me connect more deeply with the deck to have those unsightly borders gone. Now I just need to find a damn corner rounder because those edges are like ninja stars! Stabby stabby! #tarot #deckmod
I'm finally getting around to trimming this deck. The cards fit so much better in my hands now.
Hell there, so I want to mod my decks. For now only edging the decks, what kind of markers should I use to edge my decks especially for the metallics.
I’m afraid I can’t be of help as I have thought about modding some of my decks for a long time but I am scared of messing up. However, I have reblogged quite a few deck modifications in the past so I hope that someone more knowledgeable sees this post and shares some tips 💖
Note: I will be adding the replies to this post
@paigedoestarot said: If you can afford it, Sharpie metallics will work a LOT better than cheap metallic markers. For black edges, Sharpies are best. For any other color, Crayola has treated my decks just fine.
@awitchandhersecrets said: I saw a mod once where they colored the edges with a stamp pad, so you just ran the card’s edge along the pad instead of worrying about the tip of a marker. Looked easier. Only tip was try not to do too many at once. One at a time on the pad worked great, two worked too, but failed once you tried edging too many. Black looked amazing but I can imagine metallic being gorgeous too.
@resonance-of-libra said: There are metallic stamp pads that work, and ones that don’t. I know. I found the ones that don’t and my deck rubbed off all the ink and smelled funny for months and now there’s just … dirty looking stained edges. I dint know what metallic ones work though!
@coffeeandtarot said: Get archival ink pads. I have a “vintage black” (black with gold metallic shimmer) that looks beautiful and the ink hasn’t rubbed off at all.
@darkbluedivining said: Okay, I used a silver sharpie on one of my decks and it’s the worst. Like, it looks fine, but for some reason the ink didn’t set. I did it over a month ago and the silver still comes off on my fingers. I do not recommend the metallic sharpie.
My second experience with deck mod!
These are The Witches’ Oracle cards, my first oracle deck and the only one I own so far. I was learning with these cards and felt that the borders were big and distracting... so I decided to mod again.
The card stock is quite thick and sturdy so it was harder to cut them this time... almost made some irreversible damages but I am thankful and lucky that they all survived nicely in the end!
I honestly think the new size suits my hands so much more, feeling better when shuffling. The artworks are so beautiful.

Hey I know you personally don't mod decks but I was wondering if any of your followers might have some tips on how to get a certain type of edging for a deck? I really want a shiny black laquer feel on the edges of this deck I just got but no idea how to accomplish such a feat....
Actually I might look into modding later in the year, so this is very timely. Thank you for your question 💖
Can anyone help, please?
The finished product 😊 Trimmed and rounded #UniversalWaite ! I connect so much easier with her now, and am genuinely in love with the colors on this particular version. Now to edge 🤔 #tarot #deckmod
