how do i make my own cards i tryed googling but it didnt realy help

Firs find out every card. then draw, paint a picture on them, or simply write things on them, and use them like any other deck.

In order to make your very own deck of cards you need to do lots of research. Why? Because in order to create your version of Tarot you need to understand why the symbols on those cards are there and what the Tarot is really about. This means you have to do lots of digging in the past about Tarot, symbols, arts and craft (What kind do you want? Like zombie tarot deck and ect?), the title, the story of the cards, and lots more.

I say, don't rush. Just take your time because if you rush this than you will never create your very own best tarot.

is it okay if i just research each hard and make a copy exept my own version like my own version of fool but keep the general apperance

Yeah I don't see why that would be bad.

P.s. I kinda thought it was sad that the first person to reply gave poor advise...

thanks this is going to be my first tarot deck ( besides normal playing cards)

Don't forget about the Major Arcana. The playing decks don't count them but you may want to with your deck.

Anther thing about making your cards... You can do research on the traditional deck (called the rider-waite deck) and have plenty of experience with differentkinds of tarot, that helps immensely. But when youd start to actually make them, they don't have to be based off the rider-waite deck, or any other deck. Although experience in the massive amounts of symbology is helpful. but they are personalized, so they don't have to be traditional:) just putting that out there. I'm making a dragon deck, and they have pretty much nothing to do with the traditional cards.
