Instructions
Step 1
Postcard with angel wings
Make the base of the postcard. On colored cardboard, make the markings so that by folding it, you get a postcard of the desired size.
Step 2
Cut out two wing bases from white cardboard. Both items should fit on the front of the card.
Step 3
Draw a number of rectangles about 2cm x 3cm on white parchment paper and cut them out. Roll these rectangles into pouches. Smear with PVA glue along the edge of each so that the blanks do not unfold.
Step 4
Apply the adhesive strip with a brush along the edge of the wing base. Then place the bags next to each other along the entire contour. While the glue is still wet, the "feathers" can be moved so that they lie flat.
Step 5
Leave the first row to dry completely. Then apply PVA glue on it and glue the next row with an overlap to create volume. Thus, cover both wings with "feathers".
Step 6
When gluing, help yourself with a wooden stick. It can press the parchment blank without crushing it. Place both wings on the front of the postcard. Add inscriptions and wishes that can be printed on a printer.
Step 7
Greeting card with heart
Use plain or textured cardboard as a base for your postcard. Draw a heart pattern on thick paper to decorate the card.
Step 8
Cut out a piece of padding polyester by attaching a paper template to it. Glue the bulky filler to the base. Then place the resulting blank on a silky fabric. Make an allowance of about 2 cm and cut out the desired part.
Step 9
Cut the piece for the heart that you cut out of the fabric along the contour. Then it will fit well on the blank with padding polyester without assemblies and creases. Glue the seams on the back, covering the heart. You can sew on a few pearls or beads, piercing through the workpiece, or you don't have to.
Step 10
Glue the resulting heart onto the front of the card. Glue a string of pearls along its contour. Complete the postcard with details. Write congratulatory words.
