How to please your beloved grandmother? Create a postcard for your grandmother yourself.
Never forget about our grandmothers!After all, they need care and attention so much! Keep in mind that for any grandmother such a gift as a handmade postcard will be very welcome and pleasant for any holiday. Today, designers are moving away from the type of postcards that everyone is used to and are looking for new forms to express their original ideas, giving postcards a new "sound". Today, we will experiment with the idea of a photo postcard, we will make a photo postcard in which a certain number of details form a memory postcard.
So, let's tell you about the productiona certain type of such postcards. You can choose the option that you like the most and that you can make. Technique: cutting Time: 1 - 2 hours What materials will you need? For production you will need: • Colored cardboard; • PVA glue; • Ruler, work board, cutter; • Paper - white, colored, designer; • Photograph; • Scissors; • Embossing tools.
In a sewing or handicraft shop you can buy:buttons of different shapes and colors, braid, lace, ribbons, felt decor or felt itself, beads, sequins, artificial flowers, cute fasteners. Art stores traditionally offer a selection of high-quality multi-colored, as well as textured, designer paper. In a stationery store you can buy: cardboard, paper, photo glue, curly scissors, various paints, stickers, stamps for children's creativity, transfer drawings, as well as paper clips and paper holders. Many different interesting decorations can be found at home. Surely, somewhere in your closets or boxes for needlework you have pieces of fabric, leather, ribbon, braid, thread, buttons, wrapping paper with patterns and pictures, etc. All this will help to make a postcard extremely original. Perhaps the only thing that is really worth buying in special stores is curly hole punches. With their help, you can make intricate confetti of various sizes (from 1 to 2.5 cm) with one click - flowers, leaves, animals, and also create a filigree patterned edge of a leaf or corner. You will not regret this purchase!
Here we go!To make a postcard for grandma, you will need: a base - thickened paper for watercolors is perfect, a background - you can take colored paper, wrapping paper with a pattern or special designer paper, photos and decorations. Glue the background to the base. If the paper is colorful and motley, the photo may get lost. In this case, a backing is traditionally used - a piece of plain or snow-white paper 5-10 mm larger than the photo. After you glue the photo to the backing, the edge of the plain paper will appear from under it, which will separate the photo and the eye-catching background.
Now comes the most exciting part -Let's start decorating our postcard for grandma! Let your child choose and place the decorations himself - this kind of handicraft perfectly develops imagination, accuracy and perseverance. And let your little one make figured corners with a hole punch, glue beads, shells, buttons, put lace or braid along the edge of the sheet, put stamps - all this is extremely exciting for him! The finished postcard can be placed in a folder with ordinary files. And the most tireless scrapbookers have every chance to create a beautiful cardboard cover or envelope. This is how excitingly and usefully you can spend time with your child, exploring a new handicraft technique. Create with pleasure!
