Homemade gifts, especially skillfully crafted ones, tend to be much more valuable than purchased gifts. Of course, a person can not do everything himself, but why not attach a beautiful postcard to the main gift, making which you will spend only one evening? Especially if you are doing it to a specific person whom you know about what he likes the most.
Instructions
Step 1
If you know how to handle a little thread and a needle, then you can embroider a picture, and then arrange it in the form of a postcard. The easiest way is to embroider with a cross, and a small and simple scheme is easy to pick up both in special books and on websites. Take thick cardboard, cut out a hole for the embroidered picture and glue it to the card. If you wish, you can make a frame out of velvet or colored paper so that your embroidery looks as advantageous as possible.
Step 2
Remember your skills from childhood: how you made collages, appliques, drew, cut out silhouettes from black paper, weaved patterns from wire or thread. All of this can be used to create your own postcard. You can also find blanks of various volumetric postcards on the Internet. They just need to be downloaded, printed, cut and glued.
Step 3
There is also another way. Recently, scrapbooking has become widespread (from the English "scrap" - a clipping, "book" - a book, that is, a "book from clippings"). Initially, this technique involved the design of photo albums, but it can also be used to make postcards, notebooks, folders and much more. If you are not going to do this kind of handicraft seriously, you can make a postcard out of everything you have at home - fabrics, ribbons, lace, colored paper, thin wire, shells, single earrings, beads, orphan keys, etc. However, this technique actually has a number of rules and techniques, and special materials are sold in stores that are not so cheap (special paper, bulky blanks, curly scissors, etc.).
