How to make a volumetric card with your own hands, video

Necessary materials

Original volumetric cards with own handsdo not be as difficult as it might seem at first glance. The case will be expanded by a master class. Making a 3D panel will not be difficult, if you follow the recommendations.

How to do bulk postcards at home? To begin with, you should prepare the material that will be useful in the work. For crafts you will need to take:

• 
  pencil, eraser and ruler;


• 
  sheets of colored double-sided cardboard A4 size;


• 
  paper for templates;


• 
  sheets of thick white paper in A3 format;


• 
  stationery knife.

Stage of preparation

To begin with, we recommend that you prepare everything. By means of a ruler it is necessary to divide into two equal parts a sheet of cardboard. A thin line in the place of the fold is drawn with a thin pencil. By means of a ruler it is necessary to spend on this mark by a stationery knife. Do not press too hard on the tool. The result should be a small incision. Only then the cardboard folds in half. A shallow incision is very important. Otherwise, the product will turn out to be uneven and sloppy.

Almost all the schemes of bulk cards have something in common - a modest exterior decor. The secret of the three-dimensional cloth is hidden inside the product. The front part is recommended to be supplemented with:

• 
  beautiful inscription;


• 
  laconic image;


• 
  embossed;


• 
  miniature applique.

Congratulatory inscription for the outside of the 3D-card can be done manually or cut.

Responsible moment

The next step is to create a three-dimensional part. Based on the templates for bulk cards, you can perform a unique thing. To do this, use white paper. On a large sheet, you need to accurately draw 2 rectangles. It is important to remember that their parties should do slightly less than the workpiece already done. One more centimeter is cut off from the upper edge.

Then select the template directly. We use the scheme in the form of a unicorn. Having good artistic skills, you can create an image yourself. If voluminous postcards from paper are created on the basis of a template, it should be carefully circled in pencil. On paper, you can not press hard. To the second rectangle, to the edge itself, you must attach the workpiece, but in a mirror image, and also circle. On the top edge it is recommended to manually create a floral pattern. The image does not need to be transferred in mirror reflection to the second half. Here you can draw flowers in the place where it seems appropriate and beautiful.

When the blanks are completed,the most important stage. Let's consider in more detail how to make a volumetric card with your own hands. With the utmost care, you need to cut out all the patterns. It is worth to abandon the traditional scissors, since most of the fragments are made very finely. In order not to spoil a three-dimensional product, it is recommended to use a clerical knife. Work will be convenient on a wooden stand or board. For starters it is necessary to train a little. If this work is done for the first time, you can deform the pattern with just one sloppy or hasty motion.

At the stage of creating a three-dimensionalThe panel is extremely difficult, especially if the fingers are large. The tweezers can help in this filigree work. However, it should be borne in mind that its surface area is rather narrow. They can not be strongly pressed onto the surface of the paper. Otherwise, the material will leave traces. When pressing, it is also possible to break the openwork image. Correctly controlling tweezers, you can easily and quickly cope with the smallest fragments. If the 3D-card model is too complex, there are a lot of voluminous folds and details, it is optimal to work in stages, adding each step of the panel step by step.

Where the delicate ornament comes into contact with the siderectangle, it is better not to cut the line completely. Optimal to do only incisions. When the most difficult work is completed, it is worth turning to decorating the edges of both rectangular parts. The most spectacular look openwork patterns, for example, in the form of diamonds. When the two parts are decorated, you can glue them together.

The final stage

Apparently, it is easy to carry out volumetric cardsown hands: the schemes will help to act correctly. First, the first workpiece is taken, and the pattern is bent on it. It should be placed at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the rectangle. On the one hand, you need to glue a rectangle inside the cardboard base. From the fold line, you should retreat by 1 cm.

The same manipulations need to be done with the secondpart. Gluing the pattern you need only a little bit at the top, so that the unicorns are located in the same direction. The wings of the image need a little bend, so they looked in different directions. So the product will receive volume. All! Exclusive greeting card is ready and waiting for its recipient!
