DIY happy birthday cards are a wonderful festive attribute. It is often used in schools to create congratulations for students. In labor lessons, many of the readers in childhood made their own postcards. A lot of time has passed since that moment and today, especially on the Internet, you can find a large number of original handmade greeting cards.

Gift relevance

Especially for children, many lessons have been created for the development of fine motor skills. At the school works, they are offered to perform various exercises related to the creation of paper products. A postcard will be a great solution for this. In addition to this fact, it is also worth considering that the child tries to make such products and the process itself brings him pleasure.

The article will consider different ways of creating postcards in different styles from paper and related materials. Manufacturing methods will be presented to readers:

• volumetric pictures;
• with the addition of fabric;
• assembled from figures;
• with the addition of confetti;
• and an envelope for money and coins;
• with volumetric figures on the main part;
• with the addition of cut out images of animals.

It is also worth noting that you can easily make all the postcards described below at school or at home. For this, materials at hand can also be used. The main thing is to use your imagination and be smart.

Materials used table

Before you start considering how to make a postcard out of paper and what may be required for this, you need to make a table of commonly used materials and tools that can be useful in the process of creating an original gift.

As you can see from the objects presented in the table, almost all of them can be found at home or bought at the nearest store.

If the smallest readers at school or at home will be engaged in the manufacture of the postcard, you must always observe safety precautions and be more careful when using piercing and cutting objects.

You can watch the original solution for making birthday cards from paper in the video.

General instruction on the example of 3 postcards

In order to move on to more complex paper products, you need to practice on the simplest ones. To do this, below will be outlined three options for creating a postcard from paper. After practicing with these examples, you can move on to more complex instructions for their manufacture.

For the first option, you will need the following set of tools and materials:

• Colored cardboard.
• Colored paper.
• Scissors or utility knife.
• Regular writing pen.
• PVA glue or glue stick.

Manufacturing time is no more than 15 minutes.

The first thing you need to do is cut out the base as a frame. For this, thick cardboard is used. The color can be any, depending on the preferences of the master himself. The edges of the postcard frame can be made curly as in the example using scissors or a clerical knife.

To create even curly frames, it is better to use markings drawn with a template or ruler.

On the prepared base for cardboard, a second layer of colored paper is applied on top. Instead, you can use a printed image as the main background.

Now the most important task remains, connected with the manufacture of festive candles and lights. To do this, you need to use a pen. A thin sheet of colored paper must be wrapped around the handle. The edge where the paper joins is glued. In this position, it is necessary to maintain the shape for 30 seconds. Then remove the handle. Repeat the action depending on how many candles you need to place on the card.

Lights are cut out separately from colored paper, and then attached to the candles. The resulting structure is glued to a postcard. After that, you must sign it and write a wish to the birthday person.

The second postcard will have an award medal with the age of the hero of the occasion.

To create it you will need:

• Cardboard as a base.
• Set of colored paper.
• Threads.
• Stationery knife or scissors.
• Glue stick.

You can make such a card following the instructions in just half an hour. In order to do everything correctly, the instructions will be painted step by step.

Instructions

• Preparation of all necessary materials.
• Prepare the base in the form of cardboard of any color at the request of the user.
• Decorate the cardboard with different paper elements.
• Take a thin colored sheet of paper and fold it like an accordion.
• Use threads to tie the folded accordion in the middle.
• Spread the accordion so that it has the shape of a circle.
• To fix the edge of the straightened accordion, fix it with glue.
• Cut a circle with a smaller radius than the accordion.
• Draw the age of the birthday person or cut and paste numbers from paper.
• Glue the circle onto the accordion.
• Glue the finished medal to the base.

Now that's it, the postcard is ready.

The last postcard for training will have volumetric elements.

It will also take a maximum of 30 minutes to create it. To make a postcard you will need:

• Thick colored cardboard as the main background.
• Colored paper with patterns or real gift wrapping paper.
• Bandaging ribbons.
• Scissors.
• Glue stick.

The process of making such a postcard consists of the following steps:

• Prepare a cardboard base. The background can be painted or additional elements can be glued.
• At the top of the cardboard, write the word "Congratulations!"
• Take colored paper or gift wrapping paper and cut squares out of it into the shape of wrapped gifts.
• Glue the squares at the bottom of the picture.
• Make bows and bandages from ribbons on each of the pasted gifts and attach them to them.

Instead of ribbons, you can also use colored thread or twine.

All is ready. The postcard looks quite bright and interesting and has three-dimensional elements in the form of gifts and bows.

Volume 3D postcard

Now we will consider more complex options for paper postcards. Postcards containing 3D elements will be presented first.

To create a product you will need:

• Several sheets of thick colored cardboard.
• Scissors.
• Glue stick.
• Set of colored paper.

The first thing that needs to be done is a tight book cover. To do this, several cardboard sheets are glued together, and folded in half.

On the outside of such a cover, you can write congratulations and wishes, as well as place elements cut from paper.

Now open the resulting cover, and make a pyramid of future gifts in the center of the open cover. The blank is chipped in half so that the angle from the gift boxes starts to protrude when you open it forwards. Next, the base of the gifts is cut through, except for the places where they are attached to the main sheet. Glue the resulting blank to the cover.

Places where gifts will appear at the opening do not need to be glued.

When the glue dries, it is necessary to decorate the pyramid of gifts protruding when opening and glue a bow at the very top.

Postcards made of paper with the addition of fabric

To create a postcard with cloth, you will need the same composition of tools and accessories. The only thing that needs to be added is the different types of fabric.

In a future postcard, fabric will replace colored paper. It is mounted on a cardboard base. It is noteworthy that such a product looks quite interesting and pleasant to the touch. For reliable fixation of all elements on cardboard, it is better to use PVA stationery glue.

However, you should be careful. Many types of fabrics absorb moisture well. If you overdo it with glue after drying, traces will remain on the material, which will ruin the whole general appearance of the postcard.

From the shape of the heart

The next type of postcard will require an even heart shape. Better to print it on a printer on colored paper, or find a nice and large template to circle around. You need to be careful if the edges of the heart are not straight, the envelope postcards will fail.

It is also advisable to use a gift wrapper instead of colored paper. All actions are calculated in 5 steps:

• The template is prepared and the heart is cut out.
• Turns over with its back to the user.
• The sides of the heart fold flat.
• The heart turns over and the part that turned out to be at the bottom folds up to half of the product.
• The top part becomes the cover of the envelope. The sides for fixing are glued.

On such an envelope from the front you can stick a small bow or ribbon.

With the addition of confetti

Confetti is always a celebration. In order to do it, you do not need to go and purchase specially home fireworks. A hole punch and a set of colored paper of all colors of the rainbow will help to solve this problem.

First you need to make a cardboard base. It can be of any color. Better to make a postcard in the form of a frame. For this, a large cardboard sheet is folded by grinding to form an isosceles triangle.

The base is glued to one part of it. To diversify it, you can make an envelope, as shown in the figure. It is better to use thick cellophane or transparent paper for this.

After securing an envelope or other transparent object with glue, you need to make confetti. To do this, take a hole punch and a set of paper of different colors. Now the slots are made with the tool. The shavings have an even circle shape and look like confetti. Parts of the circles are glued to the card, and the other part is placed in an envelope.

To please your loved ones with congratulations, it is not necessary to spend money on a postcard with a template picture and text. You can get a beautiful product from scrap materials using the tips and tricks listed in this article.

A postcard is a nice little thing with bright pictures and warm words, which we often receive on holidays. Modern postcards sold in stores are often made, as they say, "without a soul": they have stereotyped pictures of flowers, ribbons and smiling puppies.

We can say with confidence that in a homemade postcard you can express all your creativity and make any fantasy come true.

Before starting work, it is important to make a complete preparation for work:

• Purchase in the required quantity all decorative elements (to create a postcard).
• Have scissors, a ruler and always rubber glue for attaching each decorative element (you can also use a hot gun and instant dry glue).
• Imagine in advance what your postcard should look like: draw a sketch of it on a draft or make a template by overlaying one material on top of another.

IMPORTANT: You should work very carefully, because if you leave a daub of glue, it will dry out and spoil the appearance of your product.

The simplest ideas for creating postcards with your own hands:

You can make a spectacular postcard for any holiday using kraft cardboard, colored paper and woolen thread. First, you need to decide exactly for yourself: how your card will look like. There are several options:

• Postcard rectangular
• Curly postcard
• Miniature postcard
• Tie card
• Card for money
• Large postcard (A4 format)

IMPORTANT: A simple postcard in an envelope looks impressive. The envelope will help it to last for a long time, will not damage the decor.

Per sheet white thick cardboard (base) should glue the background of kraft paper (the size of the piece should be half a centimeter smaller than the base of the postcard). It is best to glue paper dry glue (glue stick) so as not to leave wet marks or allow the paper to take an irregular shape.

After the background is ready, stick on it several woolen threads - these are "ropes from balls". After that, cut out of colored paper several hearts. Hearts can be bent in half. Thereafter smear only the fold and glue to the upper end of the woolen thread. Use a red sheet of colored paper to make an envelope to hold your postcard. The product is ready, it remains only to sign.

You can cut out hearts, as well as any other shapes, not only from colored paper, but also from kraft paper... It has a pattern, drawing or just an unusual color and texture that will add charm to your card. Choose postcards for the base white, milky or beige cardboard (light brown). These colors are the most pleasing to the eye and are considered classic.

Another interesting and budgetary way to decorate a postcard is glue buttons on it... To do this, you just need to have cardboard for the base and a handful of buttons of different diameters. With a simple pencil, draw a shape or drawing on the cardboard: a heart, a ball, a herringbone (whatever).

If necessary, a finished sketch hover with the liner (thin felt-tip pen) and only then carefully glue the buttons on the card. Wait until the glue is completely dry and continue decorating: write your wishes, attach another pattern or draw.

For this, you will need thick coffee-colored cardboard and kraft paper. Cutting out simple geometric shapes, attach them to the base with dry glue to form a thematic pattern: a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a snowman, a Christmas ball or a gift.

INTERESTING: Instead of craft paper, you can also use ribbons, sequin beads, clippings from magazines and old postcards.
