Make original postcards for the New Year and give them to your friends and family!

Soon it's time for holidays. Have you already started to prepare gifts for friends and family? Do you want to try to make cards for them close by yourself? Then we offer to your attention, the next master class for making a beautiful New Year's card! I hope it will be of use to you. For this production of postcards we will need the following materials:

• cardboard (I take, as a rule, paper for watercolors or for pastels)
• scrap paper (or, if the economy does notavailable, colored paper or packaging for gifts, any one, with suitable patterns). I have already lay for a long time, as if a merry paper in herringbone was waiting for its hour
• ornamental felt green
• lace
• half beads (you can use beads, buttons)
• a piece of beautiful thread
• And further:
• cutting mat
• ruler
• scissors
• mocking knife
• glue stick
• PVA glue
• needle

First, you need to prepare a blank postcard. My postcard will be 10 * 15 cm, so I cut out the base from cardboard measuring 20 * 15 cm. On the form, we mark the middle - for the fold and bluntThe end of the scissors draw a line, not forgetting the ruler. Thus, we at home make creasing (drawing lines of folds) and fold the basis of the card in half. It turns out an even and accurate fold. Next, from scrap paper (or any other beautiful paper), cut out a rectangle measuring 9 * 14 cm (ie, each side of it will be smaller than the card itself by 0.5 cm). This will serve as a backdrop for our postcard. On felt we outline the silhouette of the tree (you can use the template, you can draw by hand - to whom as you like). Carefully cut out the Christmas tree. The edges of the felt do not crumble, so noFurther processing is not required. Instead of felt it is possible to use any paper (simple or with any effects, for example, velvet) or fleece, which also almost does not crumble. Next, with a contrasting thread (I have red, with lurex), we mark the line of "garland" on the tree, fix it on the reverse side. To further decorate the Christmas tree, we will return a little later. We cut out from a cardboard similar fur-tree, only onthe edge is cut off 1-2 mm. We glue it from the back of the felt tree so that from the front, this cardboard was not visible. This will give us the opportunity to make the herringbone more dense and bulky (if you took a fat felt, then such manipulations can not be done, a tree and so it will be voluminous) Next, take a small piece of white paper (yme again watercolor, with the effect of "flax"), and we put an inscription, for example, "Happy New Year." I did it with a stamp, and in general such an inscription can be printed on a printer, written by hand or cut from anywhere. I stamp on paper, the edges are toned with the same ink. We measure the lace on the width of the background. We lay a line along the perimeter of the background paper, we draw the thread on the wrong side, we tie a knot, and we cut off the excess ends. Machine stitch, firstly, performs a decorative function, and secondly, fixes the lace around the edges. Harvested Christmas tree with a two-wayof the bulk adhesive tape is gently glued to the background (double-sided adhesive tape is glued instantly, so the opportunity to move the tree a little more evenly or to a better place we will not have). We also attach an inscription to the bulk adhesive tape. Next, a harvested background with a fir tree and an inscriptionpaste on the basis of the postcard. It is possible to glue on double-sided adhesive tape, on universal glue, even on "Moment crystal". I, as a rule, paste a made postcard on a basis before I start to glue small ornaments on it. Therefore, when you press the paper to be glued, there is no fear that you will move or unstick small beads, flowers and so on. It remains to decorate our Christmas tree. Pour a small amount of PVA glue on a comfortable surface. Sharp end of the sticks for manicure we applya small drop of glue on the Christmas tree in the place where we will glue the bead. If the Christmas tree was paper, then the droplet would be very small. Feather, like any other textile, absorbs liquids very well, so here the drop will be large. On this drop, paste the halves of beads. In general, instead of halves, you can use beads, buttons or brads (decorated clips). Keep in mind that around glued beads canform a small (1 mm) surplus glue, then they will be absorbed, dried and they will not be visible. But larger excesses must be removed (you can use the same stick for manicure). That's all, our Christmas tree card is ready!
