But if this man is really dear to you, then you will have to work a little. One of the most original types of cards for a man is a card in the shape of a shirt. Such a card can also be used as a place to put money if you do not have time to buy a gift.
This postcard is made using the origami principle.The main component is a regular sheet of paper, preferably some interesting coloring. The main requirement is that its length should be twice as long as its width. That is: it should be rectangular. The first tip in making such a postcard is to try it on a regular piece of paper. First, you need to fold the rectangle in half, and then bend its edges so that you get four strips of folds separated from each other. After that, you need to turn the sheet over to the front side and fold the upper corners together to get a triangle. After you get the fold lines, these corners need to be unfolded. Then you need to turn the sheet over again to the front side and fold the corners to the fold line that you got in the previous step.
Then you need to bend the top part of the sheetlines where the triangles end. After that, you need to fold both edges of the paper to the center and make sleeves. When the sleeves are ready, you need to make a collar. It should be done on the bottom edge of the paper. The size of the collar should be approximately equal to half the size of the sleeve. Then turn the sheet over and make corners for the collar.
At the end, the sheet needs to be folded so that it matchessleeves with a collar. Everything needs to be trimmed and glued for strength. After the shirt is ready, you can decorate it with buttons, add a pocket with a handkerchief or a tie.
This shirt can be used asa separate card or decorate another card with it, on which you can make a congratulatory inscription. You can also make several different shirts and decorate one large card with them. In any case, such a gift will please a man. In order to complement and decorate a shirt, you can also make a tie according to such a simple scheme using paper that will match the color of your shirt.
If the art of origami is beyond your comprehension,then you can make a similar shirt using scissors and glue. For this you will also need colored paper of several colors, glue, scissors and decorative elements, such as buttons.
In this case, the sheet of paper is folded in half,then cuts are made on the sides. The collar is folded from them. The tie is made from a square sheet. It must be folded diagonally, and then the upper corners folded into a triangle. The top must be folded from the back. Then it is folded inward again. The finished tie is glued to the shirt. The collar is decorated with buttons.
