A birthday card, made by own hands. Photo cards for heroes.
We invite you to such a celebration as an anniversarywe don't receive every day, so we really want to prepare an unusual gift for this memorable date. An anniversary is, in a way, a summing up of a certain period of time. The celebration of such an event is always marked on a certain scale, and the presentation of gifts very often becomes public. How to design your gift so that it looks unusual, can decorate the holiday itself and bring true pleasure to the hero of the day?A postcard with your sincere wishes foranniversary, can become a wonderful memorable souvenir, especially if you make it yourself. You will definitely not find such an exclusive postcard among the gifts of other givers, and it, in turn, will be able to express all your true feelings and good attitude towards your loved one.
The anniversary itself implies somethinga certain period of time. These can be years since birth or the period of time a person has worked in a certain place. Perhaps the date indicates how many years the couple has lived together in marriage. In any case, if you decide to make a card for an anniversary, it would be appropriate to indicate on it what period was celebrated on the holiday. For example, your father turns 50 years old. Let's try to make an order that will appear on the greeting card and indicate this number. To work, you need to prepare cardboard for the base of any color, colored paper for the medal itself (the choice of color is up to you), threads, paper glue (preferably PVA), scissors, and paper with an ornament, which will become the background of the card. When the materials are prepared, we proceed to work. First, we prepare the background of the card. Glue the paper with an ornament to the colored cardboard of the shape and size you have conceived. Its size should be slightly smaller than the shape of the cardboard. The edges of the colored cardboard base should protrude by 0.5-1 cm. Then we proceed to creating a three-dimensional element - the order. To do this, you need to fold colored paper like an accordion, tie it with threads in the very middle, i.e. in the center of the resulting accordion. Straighten it out to make a circle and glue the edges together. Make the center of the medal from white cardboard, cutting out a circle that can be cut out in a curly wave along the edges. Write a number on it, in our case, fifty. Now glue it to the center of the accordion circle. The shape of the circle with the number should also be smaller than the circumference of the accordion, as in the case of the base and background. The last detail is the ribbons. They can be made from satin ribbon, or cut out of colored paper. Take two strips of ribbon and cut out a triangle at one end of each. As a result, you should get two ribbons with two triangles at the bottom. Glue all the details onto the postcard and the order is ready. Additional design and decoration can be made to your taste.
