An exclusive greeting card will not only become a symbolic addition to the main gift for the New Year, but can also be an independent present that will express your good wishes. Making a beautiful postcard is not difficult.
It is necessary
- - colored paper;
- - candy wrappers;
- - scraps of fabric;
- - buttons;
- - beads;
- - dried branches, spruce needles, etc.;
- - universal glue;
- - Double-sided tape;
- - thick cardboard.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose a visual style. If your postcard is intended for a loved one, then romantic motives are simply necessary - a heart, an asterisk, a flower, etc. Children's cards should be bright and kind, and if you present a present to a colleague, then make the design elegant. Friends will be pleased to receive something funny and original as a gift, and parents will be delighted with a traditional retro-style postcard.
Step 2
Draw a sketch. Directly on a sheet of cardboard with a thin pencil, mark the main arrangement of the elements - the central part will be occupied by the main drawing or applique, leave the second largest place for the text, plan decorative details around the edges and on the back.
Step 3
Draw pictures and sign the postcard. Surely you will use the drawn elements, even if not as the main ones - they are applied first. Then the drapery should be placed, if it is provided for by the design - you can tighten individual corners with pieces of satin, skip the ribbon in the form of a bookmark, add a lace fabric to the back.
Step 4
Decorate the congratulatory text with bright markers or letters cut out of other paper, which should match the style of the postcard. Don't forget to subscribe.
Step 5
Execute the applique. The Christmas card is decorated with snowflakes made of shiny wrappers, small bows made of rustling candy wrappers, pieces of foam plastic that imitates snow, etc. Build a Christmas tree out of small spruce needles, and glue small beads or beads instead of toys.
Step 6
Postcards with one general idea and no clutter of images look spectacular. Therefore, if your postcard is not intended for a child, then decorate in a restrained style - let the main element be one thing, but you need to arrange it in accordance with the occasion.
