DIY Mother's Day Cards: Materials and Methods

In order to make a beautiful postcard, you need to have beautiful paper, ribbons, markers or pencils on hand. The postcard should be bright, convey your warmth and tenderness.

Bouquet of love and tenderness

This postcard has a great meaning and its appearance gives the arms of children's hands, which are collected in a large bouquet. For this craft, you will need cardboard, colored paper, glue, a bow, and markers.

Cardboard can be used both colored and embossed. Colored paper should be beautiful with juicy shades. You can either buy a bow in the store ready-made, or make it yourself from ribbons.

We prepare the details. To do this, on colored paper (on the reverse side), attach and circle the contour of the child's palm of both hands with a pencil. Cut out the resulting image. Make as many of these blanks as possible using paper of different colors.

The postcard can be either folded or unfolded. If you will make a folding postcard, then it is best to place the bouquet on the wrapper, and write the words of the wish inside.

You need to glue the bouquet from the top point, gradually descending to its base. Glue the uppermost palm, glue a row of 2-3 palms below, then a row of 4. Thus, the bouquet will turn out lush and voluminous. Vary the colors, do not glue two palms of the same color next to each other.

Having glued all the palms, you need to make the stem of the bouquet. To do this, cut out long thin strips of green paper in the amount of 7-9 pieces. and glue them one on top of the other along the bouquet, preferably obliquely. Position them so that the side edge of one strip lays down and slightly overlaps the side edge of the other strip.

Glue a beautiful bow at the junction of the palms and the stem. If you want to make a bow with your own hands, then this simple technique will do.

Take two types of ribbons in contrasting shades. Fold one ribbon in four layers and the other ribbon in the same way. Lay one on top of the other and tie them in the center. Straighten the edges of the loops crosswise in the form of the letter X.

Glue the resulting bow on the bouquet and start writing nice words for mom. The name of the card can be written something like this: “A bouquet of love and tenderness for dear mom Name”, and below is a quatrain with wishes. Do not forget to indicate from whom this gift and the year of manufacture. A nice gift in the form of a postcard for Mother's Day with your own hands is ready.

Postcard with three-dimensional flowers

These flowers can be used to make a card for Mother's Day. To do this, you will need a base for a postcard in the form of colored or openwork cardboard, white paper, watercolor or gouache of different shades or colored paper, glue, beads (rhinestones or buttons) and multi-colored markers.

Before making the flowers, paint plain white paper with paints and let it dry. You need to get several shades of the same color, for example, dark red, light red and pale pink.

If you don't want to paint, you can use colored crepe paper or colored plain paper.

Cut out 9 paper circles of different sizes in diameter (6 cm, 5 cm and 3 cm). Three mugs for each size. In this case, circles of the same size should be the same color. Now, on each part, in the direction from the edge to the center, cut strips up to 0.5 cm wide, no more. The cuts should be located at the same distance from each other.

Fold the resulting terry circles on top of each other and glue in the center. Layers of circles look like this: the lowest three large circles, three slightly smaller circles are glued on top of them, and above the three smallest ones. Glue a beautiful bead or rhinestone or button in the middle of the flower. One flower is ready.

For the beauty of the postcard, make as many of these flowers as possible and arrange them more closely to each other or around the perimeter of the postcard.

Next to the flowers, you can sign, for example: "Happy Mother's Day!", And write congratulations and poems inside the postcard.

Quilling postcard

This technique is not difficult to master even for a novice master. A card with flowers or quilling patterns will look gentle and difficult.

To work, you will need special colored paper for quilling, needles, glue, cardboard, a stencil, rhinestones, sparkles and a knitting needle on which the paper is wound can be useful.

The technique consists in twisting multi-colored strips of paper and giving them a variety of shapes, and then the resulting element can either be glued to a plane or made into a three-dimensional composition with it.

Strips of multi-colored paper are wound in a spiral on a thin object. For winding, you can use a needle, knitting needle or a thin rod from a ballpoint pen.

In order to get a beautiful pattern, you need to bend it with your hands or with the help of foreign objects (for example, press it against a ballpoint pen - you get a semicircle, press it against the edge of the table - you get a right angle, and so on).

Here's how you can make elements of paper twisted into a spiral.

Collect several resulting elements into one figure. So, for example, five red petals are glued together on the sides into a circle. It turns out a flower. Green petals are glued together in the form of a ladder - a stem with leaves is obtained. In order for the parts to stick, they are fixed with needles until the glue dries.

You can make more complex elements by combining several parts of different shapes and sizes.

When creating a composition, it is important: first, small parts are fastened together, and after that the whole assembled product is glued to the plane. In our case, such a plane is the outer side of the postcard. This is how you can arrange flowers on a postcard.

Be sure to write beautiful words of congratulations and wishes of good health to your beloved mother.

Use beautiful cardboard as the base of the postcard. You can decorate it by trimming and rounding the corners. You can also glue a thin tape around the perimeter of the postcard.

On the inside of the postcard on the spread or on the back of it, write the date and year of work in small letters. Imagine how interesting it will be for your mother, going through old cabinets, to find your handmade postcard. She will definitely want to remember when you made this gift for her and the date will come in handy here.

What could be better than a beautiful 3D handmade postcard? At first glance, such a masterpiece is difficult to create. But it's actually quite easy to make. And if all the details are prepared in advance, then it will take a minimum of time to collect it.

We will make a postcard, the base of which will be in the form of a heart. And paint the middle of the flower in darker colors.

Required:

double-sided colored paper;
cardboard;
ruler;
scissors;
glue stick;
markers.

Stages of work:

1. Cut out 7 squares from yellow paper. Their size is 9 by 9 centimeters. We take one square and begin to make a flower out of it. First, bend it diagonally. It turns out here is such a triangle.

2. Fold it in half and get a smaller right triangle. We bend it in the middle again. Press the smaller side to the larger side. On it we draw the rounded edge of the petal.

3. It remains to cut the flower along the intended line and straighten it. This is how beauty came out.

4. Now cut off one of the petals from the flower. This is necessary in order to make it voluminous.

5. Circle the edges, then the flower will become more realistic. We will not touch one of the petals near the cutout, since we will glue another one on it.

6. Now we adjust the painted petal on the one that we did not touch and glue them together.

7. We color the core and continue to make 6 more of the same colors.

8. Bend the resulting flowers in half. Now we need to collect them into a beautiful bouquet. For the side petals, glue two to one flower, on both sides.

9. We glue another one to the top flower, but already for three petals. In the picture, the places where it is necessary to lubricate with glue are marked with checkmarks.

10. Glue two more flowers on the sides.

11. And the last flower we place up.

12. Cut out two hearts from cardboard, suitable in size for the bouquet. Red should be bigger than white. We adjust the white heart to the red one and glue it.

13. On the other side, glue a white heart, almost the same size, to the red heart. And on it is another smaller red one. We bend in the middle. As a result, we got a card of four hearts. It is white on the inside and red on the outside.

14. Now glue the bouquet with the help of the top petal to one side of the heart. In the same way, glue the bouquet to the second side of the postcard.

Today we will learn how to make mother's day cards with our own hands. First, let's remember what kind of holiday it is.

An international holiday that is celebrated in all countries on different days. In Russia, it began to be celebrated quite recently, only 14 years ago. There is no fixed date for this holiday. It is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, i.e. in 2015 - 29 November. In Ukraine, it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. On this day, no one can remain indifferent to mothers. Everyone is in a hurry to say warm words of love and gratitude to them. Every mother deserves it, not only on this day, but on any other. To remind your mother of your love, you can make a gentle card with your own hands.

Postcard material:

colored paper double-sided;
scissors;
toothpicks;
strips for quilling;
PVA glue.

Making a Mother's Day Card

For the base, take thick paper, you can use cardboard. Glue paper in a contrasting color on it. For figured forms, you can use napkins (round). Set them aside and start decorating the postcard.

We will immediately make several paper roses, they look rich on any postcard.
From colored paper, cut three strips 1 cm wide. Take one strip and a toothpick.

Bend either end of the strip at a 45 degree angle.

Screw the strip onto the toothpick to the end of the fold. Next, you will need to wrap the paper 30-35 degrees away from you and twist the toothpick to wind the strip of paper.

For a rose to be beautiful, there should not be enough bends.

When the rose is ready, drop a good drop of glue into the middle of the rose from the bottom, cover it with the tip of the strip, and hold it in your hands for a while, squeezing the middle in your hands so that it sticks well. You can put a rose under a small press. Make three roses.

We also need small chrysanthemums. For their manufacture, we use strips 1.2-1.5 cm wide. Make a fringe on them with scissors.

Roll the strips of fringed paper into a tight spiral. Unravel the fringe of the flower.

Instead of leaves, we will make beautiful curls. Take 3mm quilling paper.

Fold the two strips in half.

Twist the fold onto a toothpick.

Remove it, you get a curl. Now distribute the strips at the same distance from each other. Cut the paper along the shortest strip and glue them together.

We also need one unblown bud. From a strip 3 mm wide, twist a tight spiral. Extrude the middle of the spiral giving the shape of a cone.

Glue an unopened chrysanthemum in the middle.

Collect all the elements in the composition.

Write congratulatory words.

Sometimes, in a handicraft impulse, you want to do something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer once again, I decided to collect a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and small descriptions of how to make this or that postcard.

I tried to select as many different images as possible, both in style and in subject matter, so that there was plenty to choose from. Of course, each postcard is just an example of how you can make postcards with your own hands.

Mom

How to make a postcard for mom? It is clear that it should be the most beautiful and touching, but I want some specifics, right? First of all, you need to focus on the reason, it can be:

unplanned card for no reason;
mother's day or March 8;
New Year's and Christmas;
birthday or name day;
professional holidays.

Of course, no one can stop you from making and giving your mother a postcard dedicated to the first snow or even to the release of your favorite series with her, but in general, the main reasons are indicated quite clearly.

A postcard to mom for the new year can be ordinary (in terms of New Year's greetings, of course), it is not necessary to somehow emphasize a special relationship. But birthday or mother's day are special holidays on which it is worth presenting a personal postcard with the signature "Beloved mother".

How to make a birthday card for mom? Draw a sketch with a simple pencil, add a little color to orient with the color scheme and understand what shades you need in the process. So, you need to buy or find in the bins:

a blank for your needlework (thick and thin cardboard is suitable);
background image - it can be scrap paper, colored paper, any sheet that you like with an ornament, or you can simply artistically sprinkle paint on a sheet of white thick paper or even use the monotype and marbling technique;
chipboard for the inscription - it is better to purchase ready-made or use a special stapler to decorate the edge;
a pair of decorative elements - flowers, butterflies, beads and leaves;
one or two large decorative elements - flowers or bows;
decorative tape;
good glue;
scalloped ribbon or lace.

First you need to glue the background image to the blank, then place large flowers, and only then add the resulting composition with small decor and lace. Dry the finished work well, decorate with small decorations and sparkles, and then sign it - mom will be happy with such a sign of attention.

Now you know how to make a card for mother's day, and you can easily figure out what a card should be for an anniversary or angel's day.

Another original option: the bottom line is that you need to cut out circles from colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist it into a bud, you get cute flowers that you can decorate a postcard with.

dad

Do-it-yourself birthday card for dad is always very touching and cute. It's not easy to choose a particular "papal" theme, but there is a wonderful straw here to grab onto - style. If you make a stylish postcard, then the father will undoubtedly be happy to receive it, even if it does not have the usual symbols of “masculinity”, which we often include cars, weapons and fishing.

Naturally, if the father is celebrating the anniversary of his driving experience, then the little car on the postcard is quite appropriate, but it’s better to present a neutral and beautiful greeting card to dad on his birthday.

What kind of cards do men like:

not too colorful;
in a calm, slightly muffled range;
with clean lines;
in which a lot of visual effort has been invested.

I would like to say a special word about the last point. If your mom liked the postcard, assembled from a patch of lace, a bow and a beautiful chipboard, then dad will appreciate a poster made from paper with an elegant, openwork cut - painstaking and elegant.

Men are delighted with the process, so before making a glorious scrapbooking card, think about how you can put your work into the card? It can be work with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.

Incorporate a few hard and loving elements into your work and your dad's birthday card will be great.

So, we make do-it-yourself paper postcards for your beloved dad. Start by choosing a subject - it can be some element of a male portrait - a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.

Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.

Make a pattern for a future postcard and get to work - if this is a regular application, then cut out all the elements and carefully lay out the future composition. And in the case of artistic cutting, it is better to devote time to pattern and drawing. By the way, for such work you will need a good breadboard knife.

After all the main elements are cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - so that work looked really openwork, you will need to choose shades that emphasize all the cuts.

Make a centerpiece on your postcard, and then put it under a press - this will help to avoid warping the paper from the moisture contained in the glue.

In honor of the wedding

Making beautiful do-it-yourself wedding cards is not an easy task, and here it is better to watch master classes.

A wedding is one of the most important events in the life of a young family, and therefore it is not enough just to draw a postcard, you need to carefully arrange and pack it, and it is also possible to add some other elements.

How to make a beautiful card for congratulations on your wedding day:

come up with an idea;
find out from the bride and groom the main color of the wedding, or the main theme of the celebration;
see various options for postcards - using the scrapbooking technique, with embroidery, ribbons, and so on;
choose some interesting lessons;
make a rough postcard from paper and cardboard (and if you are not sure of your result, then it is better to do this step several times);
make original postcards with your own hands;
pick up the packaging and make it a little more unique;
write an envelope and a postcard.

Other occasions and recipients

Be sure that handmade birthday cards will delight the recipients - after all, this is not just a do-it-yourself postcard according to the master class, this is a real man-made miracle that keeps a piece of the soul.

You can make postcards for mom and dad with your own hands, or you can make your friends happy before each holiday with an author's congratulations - this will only require free time, good master classes and a little patience.

3D postcards look especially impressive. How to make a voluminous postcard? Come up with (or peep from experienced authors) an idea how you can shape it so that you get voluminous postcards. Perhaps you want to use more decorative elements, or you decide to make a simple handmade birthday card with 3D elements.

By the way, if you are thinking about how to make a postcard for your mother or girlfriend with voluminous paper elements, take a closer look at children's books. Surely you have preserved several copies, upon opening of which carriages and castles, trees and horses appeared between the pages.

Take a close look at how these elements are made and glued - you may be able to reproduce this on your sketch.

Or try to do something in the style of shabby chic and scrapbooking with your own hands - it's not as difficult as it seems, all the main volume effect is created by layering elements. By the way, flat postcards are also good. :)

I think now you have enough ideas for creating greeting cards, postcards and tags - needlework for your pleasure and delight your loved ones!

Red double-sided cardboard, white heart card, old postcards, silver silk ribbon (0.5 cm wide), decorative ribbon (2 cm wide), double-sided tape (clear and foam), hole punch, regular and curly scissors , pencil, ruler, decorative butterflies and a small heart.

We mark out double-sided cardboard (19 * 28): leave 2 cm on the decorative tape along the edge on the right side. Divide the rest in half (13 cm each). We draw a line in such a way as to bend the cardboard along it. To the left of the center we measure 1.8 cm (the width of the adhesive tape). We bend along the line.
