All care, all attention is intended for them - our defenders! We offer an interesting master class today, which will teach you how to make a postcard on February 23 to the Pope!
Postcard by yourself: we prepare materials
Not all popes served in the army, but every day theyprotect their families from adversity, constantly perform male work around the house. We decided to abandon the traditional military themes, and a nice hammer will be a reminder of what men have golden hands. We also have to work hard, creating a postcard on February 23, and we will start with the selection of materials. Required:
the basis for a postcard
3 sheets of scrapbooking paper: striped, blue, caged
brown cardstock
twine or twine (preferably blue or blue)
adhesive or double-sided scotch tape
Ruler and pencil
scissors
The basis can be used ready or take a sheetwhite cardboard and fold it in half. Cardstock, as well as paper, it is better to buy in the store for creativity. It should not be too dark (the color of rough wrapping paper). In addition, we will need a picture of the hammer. The stencil can be printed from the Internet, if you can not draw yourself.
Make a postcard to the Pope on February 23 with his own hands
Let's start making postcards on February 23:
first we cut out a rectangle of 15 × 12 cm from striped paper and gently paste it on the cover of the postcard;
then, cut out 2 rectangles of blue and checkered leaves, 14 × 9.5 cm and 13 × 8 cm, respectively;
blue paste on the striped, leave to dry completely, then glue it square on the cell. You should get an original complex frame:
Let's take up the main decorative element of postcards- with a hammer. On a brown cardstock, create an image using a stencil or draw it yourself. We paste it on the last rectangle. Tip: if you want the image to look more convex and volume, fix it on paper using a square 1 × 1 cm goblet impregnated with glue. This technique is often used in scrapbooking, so that it will not be possible to find sponges of labor;
Under the hammer should be a congratulatory inscription (the text you choose yourself);
from the cardstock make another rectangle 2 × 12cm and type (or write a marker) the words. We arrange it (with the help of the same sponges) on the cover of the postcard; The main part of the work on the card for the Pope on February 23 is completed, it remains only to decorate our craft inside.
for this we again cut out a rectangle from the cardstock (13 × 6 cm) and write on it a congratulation. For example: DEAR FOLDER FOR FEBRUARY 23;
We decorate the paper with a string (at last we needed it): we cut off 13 cm + 1 cm of allowance, carefully glue it, fix it on the reverse side;
Now our congratulations can be glued to the postcard;
So, we made a postcard to the Pope on the 23rd of February.
It turned out very sweet, touching and original. The main thing is that we did it with our own hands and with great love.
