A product made with love by hand hasspecial value. If you are wondering what surprise to give your mother, grandmother, girlfriend for some holiday, then a unique postcard with red roses is a great option. Such an original postcard will also be an appropriate addition to a gift for any holiday, anniversary, event.It is carried out quite simply, since it is notrequires special knowledge and the use of complex techniques. On a green background, red roses intertwined through a white lattice look very rich and beautiful. Anyone can make such a postcard without using special materials. We present a master class on making a very beautiful and delicate postcard with roses with your own hands. For the postcard you need to prepare:
- A4 cardboard of green color;
- white cardboard;
- foamed double-sided adhesive tape;
- two-color colored paper of two red shades;
- Quilling paper or double-sided colored paper of green color;
- glue;
- knitting needles for thin knitting;
- scissors for small parts;
- a quilling tool or a toothpick.
Fold a green sheet of A4 cardboard in halfand we get a ready base for our postcard. We take white cardboard and cut strips no more than 3 mm thick and 7.5 cm long. We need six of these strips.Cut the foam tape into small squaresno more than 3 mm wide, since white cardboard strips will be attached to it (or we can use ready-made squares of foam tape). At the intersections, we attach squares of foam double-sided tape and attach the strips together as in the photo.This is what you get: a window like this.From double-sided colored paper in shades of redcut out squares of different sizes (the side of the square should be from 5 to 7 cm). Then, using small scissors, cut out a spiral, the edges of which should be wavy. This is necessary so that the rose looks as natural as possible.Using a quilling tool, we twistspiral. If you don't have a special tool, you can use a regular toothpick, which is great for winding paper. Start from the outside of the spiral.The result is a detail similar to the one in the photo.It needs to be coated with glue.Then form a beautifully shaped rose and secure it with your fingers, waiting a little while for it to dry. This is necessary so that the rose does not “fall apart”.Thus, you should get five roses of different sizes and different shades of red.Take a thin knitting needle and paper forgreen quilling. If you don't have quilling paper, you can take regular double-sided colored paper and cut a strip 3 mm wide and 40 cm long. Tightly wind the strip of green paper onto a knitting needle.Then carefully remove the spiral from the knitting needle.We take the finished white window and attach the edge of the green spiral to the back side using glue.Now we thread the green spiral as in the photo. In places where it joins the window, you should secure the spiral with glue so that it is securely fixed. From a green strip of paper, we form a roll using a toothpick or a quilling tool.We unravel the roll a little and fix the edge with glue.Then we give the finished rolls the shape of a leaf. You will need seven of these parts. When all the parts are ready, we begin to attach them to the base.We apply glue to the finished window on the back side and attach it to the base in the center closer to the top of the base.We spread glue on the rose.We attach them to the window. You can attach the roses as in the photo or come up with another way to arrange them on the window.We apply glue to the leaf-shaped part and also attach it.We fasten all the other parts in the same way.An original and very beautiful handmade postcard is ready!
