Master-class "Postcard by own hands"
A postcard made by yourself for your mother on the 8th of March or Mother's Day is your attention, your energy and the happy smile of Mom for many years.
After all, every time you look through such"Gift-paper" relics, my mother will remember with pride, tenderness and love the day when she received this priceless gift from children's hands. So, let's get started.
We need:
- cardboard sheet of the preferred color as the basis for a postcard
- 10x10cm colored paper for making paper sarafans
- Beads and / or rhinestones, confetti for decoration
Instruction:
1. To make the basic decor of the postcard - colored "sarafan" you need to fold the square of colored paper twice in half at the center point, then turn the sheet and the side edges evenly to the center so that a rectangle turns out.
2. Turn the figure upside down (without the "seam") to yourself again to the sides of the rectangle to the center and unfold.
3. Make a fold of the upper part of the resulting figure about 1.5-2 cm in size.
4. To make a beautiful "paper decollete", carefully perform folds.
5. The sides of the resulting figure must be bent evenly to the center, after which it is necessary to turn the lower corners so that the "skirt" of our sarafan turned out. Then fold the figure in half.
6. Make the waist. To do this, you should outline the fold line about 1.5-2 cm from the top edge and bend the figure upward from yourself. At the same time, a small small fold should form on the imaginary waist of our dress and the decollete will be on top, as it should be.
7. And finally, give a splendor to a paper sarafan. Mark the fold lines along the dashed lines and make a soft fold. As a result, the side parts of the skirt will remain protruding. To soften these lines, as softly as in the previous paragraph, it is necessary to bend these parts to the center.
8. And ... turn the figure face to face - a magnificent little sarafanchik will amaze you with its elegance and creativity!
9. Here are such three-dimensional fashionable three mini-dresses made in origami technique, it is necessary to place on cardboard or dense embossed paper. And a gift to my mother, made by myself - a festive greeting card - is almost ready.
10. And then - the flight of your imagination. Decorate the card with decorative beads, rhinestones, shiny confetti for postcards and so on. Please note that the greeting inscription is a required attribute of the postcard. It can be of a general nature, for example, "Congratulations on March 8","Happy Mother's Day!","To my mother"Or personal:"My beloved mother from ...","I love you, my best mommy!" and so on. Very unusual looks like a postcard on which the same greeting is written several times, but in different languages and / or in a different font.
A little tip: Try to pick up colored paper fordresses-sarafanchikov in one color scale, for example, pastel. If you still decided to make a bright postcard, then put a dress of contrasting color in the center of the "fashionable trinity". Or, perhaps, it is worth choosing a cardboard of bright color for a card-base.
