Instructions
Step 1
By creating postcards with your own hands, you will practice the necessary skills for painting on silk on small surfaces. Be sure to wash the fabric with any mild detergent and rinse it several times. Dry the fabric. Pin silk to the frame and apply in random order 2-3 matching colors. Mixing and flowing on the fabric, they create beautiful patterns. Some areas can be lightly sprinkled with salt. Wait for the fabric to dry and apply different patterns or designs with outlines for silk sewing.
Step 2
For further work, outline the borders of the fabric required for the postcard. Remove the silk from the frame and iron it with an iron. Cut along the outside of the outline into small squares. After that, the edges will not crumble. Or, just cut out the squares and terry the edges. Painted silk postcards are very effective.
Step 3
Take a blank for a postcard or do it yourself. Cut thick paper to the desired size and fold in half. Lubricate the seamy side of the painted silk with a glue stick. Glue it to your postcard. Add the outline details necessary for the decoration. Place a piece of white paper on the card and iron it again. So, the silk card is ready. It will serve as a wonderful gift for any holiday or anniversary date.
