And you can make very beautiful Easterpostcards in the technique of "vytynanka." Vytynanka is an openwork pattern made of paper. The simplest way is to cut out a simple symmetrical fretboard like a paper snowflake, but after practicing, you can cut out the real masterpieces.

To make an Easter card in this technique,You will need a thick colored paper or cardboard for the substrate and a thin paper of contrasting color for the fade out. Very impressive looks a combination of red and white. You can make a three-layered postcard. A sheet of white paper of a smaller size (around it will be a red frame) is pasted onto the base of the red color, and a red print is pasted onto the white paper.

You will also need scissors, PVA glue, a simplepencil, tracing paper or copy paper and ruler. Scissors are best to take small (manicure) with thin and straight ends. If you doubt your artistic abilities, you can print out a ready-made template for the shading (like those that are located a couple of paragraphs above).

To make a symmetrical outset, folda sheet of colored paper with the color side inside. Draw the desired pattern or translate it with copy paper or tracing paper. Gently cut out the pattern and unfold the fade out. To level it, iron it with an iron through a piece of paper or put it under the press (a heavy book).

Then paste the card on the cardboard. On the underside, apply small droplets of glue, gently lay an openwork pattern on the cardboard and smooth it. Try not to pull too much and squeeze the fraying, otherwise the pattern may be deformed. If glue drops appear from under the glued pattern, gently remove them. Additionally, you can write a greeting on the card.
