I bought a gift card for my friend's birthday and thought for a long time how to pack it in an original way. I remembered about the method of congratulations, which is quite popular now, when sweets are glued to whatman instead of some words. The idea is really good, and the friend will be doubly happy! But I didn't have whatman paper, and besides, the question arose of how to carry a gift on the subway. Immediately I got the idea to make a postcard in this style with a surprise inside.
It is necessary
- - sweets and other sweets;
- - cardboard of different colors;
- - scissors;
- - glue stick;
- - glue "Moment";
- - tape;
- - double sided tape;
- - hole punch (optional);
- - printed greetings or felt-tip pens / colored pens;
- - stickers, beads, everything you can use to decorate a postcard;
- - stationery knife.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a sheet of A4 cardboard and cut it in half. We need 10 halves of a sheet of cardboard of different colors if the cardboard is one-sided, and 5 halves if the cardboard is hard and double-sided.
Step 2
If the cardboard is one-sided, then take two halves and glue them with the colored side out. This will also make the card more solid. It is better to glue it with glue-pencil or double-sided tape, but not liquid PVA - it will make the paper wet and go in a wave. If you glue with glue stick, make sure that there are no glue pellets, otherwise the glued cardboard will "bulge". If the halves are different sizes and their edges do not match, correct with a clerical knife.
Step 3
Turn the glued cardboard vertically and punch holes at the top and bottom. It is important that they turn out exactly in the middle. These will be the holes for the ribbons. If your tape is too wide or you don't have a hole punch, you can carefully cut horizontal (vertical) holes along the width of the tape.
Step 4
So, each glued cardboard is a page in our future postcard. If the cardboard from the glue has become uneven, then you can iron it through a dense fabric with an iron without steam.
Step 5
Now you can proceed to the main part - writing congratulations and sticking sweets. If the greetings are printed, cut and paste so that the sweets can also fit on the page. If you don't have a printer, you can write by hand. Bars, chocolates are better to glue on double-sided tape, but candies like "Golden Key" and "Dreams" do not stick well to the tape, so take the "Moment" glue. Examples of design from my postcard:
This gift (Dirol For her), for my most beloved girl!
Sweetheart, you are the real (Miracle cake)
Let there be in every day of yours (Dream candy all over the page, Max fun chocolate, Inspiration chocolate)
You and I are inseparable as two sticks ("Twix")
May your life be bright like ("M & M's")
You will definitely find your own (Golden Key sweets)
And finally, a magic wand for the fulfillment of all desires (gift card in an envelope on the last page)
Step 6
Decorate each page with stickers, beads, ribbons, threads, beads, and other decorative elements. Fold the pages in the order in which they should go according to your author's idea. Take the tape, link all the pages on top. The same thing from below. Put the card in a box and the sweet card is ready!
