DIY crafts for February 23. Origami shirt

Video Lesson (below it is a diagram in pictures)

To make a paper shirt you will need rectangular sheet of paper any color.

You can also choose shirt size. When choosing a size, you need to take into account several details: the ratio of the length and width of the rectangle is 2:1; the sides of the shirt after it is assembled will be 2 times smaller than the sides of the rectangle.

* You can try to fold an origami shirt first, using a regular sheet. Thus, you will learn where and how you can avoid mistakes when making a direct gift.

1. First you need to fold the rectangle in half, but along and not across. Next, you need to unfold and bend the edges of the paper to the middle (see picture).

3. Prepare your sheet face down again. Once again, fold the corners to the fold lines you just made. This time you do not need to unbend these small corners.

4. Now fold the top of the sheet with the folded corners in the part of the paper where the edge of the sheet intersects with the fold lines of the corners.

5. The next thing to do is fold two ribs towards the middle of your paper shirt and make the sleeves (see picture) while holding the ribs with one finger.

6. You have made the sleeves and now it's time to move on to the collar. You may have already guessed that the collar needs to be started from the other end of the folded rectangle. To do this, fold the bottom edge of the sheet so that the collar is about 2 times shorter than the sleeve.

7. Turn over the folded sheet and make the corners of the collar.

8. Finally, fold the resulting sheet so as to align the edge with the sleeves and collar. Straighten the corners of the collar and use glue to secure them.

You have made the base of the shirt. Move on to decoration. Add buttons. You can also add a corner of a handkerchief, a bow tie or a tie.

How to make a paper tie for your shirt:

Using an origami shirt as a base, you can easily decorate your postcard. You can make a large shirt and use it separately as a gift.

You can also make several small shirts in different colors and attach them to one postcard.

On any holiday, the most important gift is a reminder that the man you love is important to you. For this, a handmade gift is what you need.

And any of them will be pleased with such a sign of attention as a postcard for February 23, made by hand.

First of all, planes!

If your congratulatory craft will be intended for a person associated with aviation, then use drawings, applications in the form of airplanes, parachutes, clouds, etc. in your work.

1. To make a voluminous postcard for February 23 with your own hands, take two sheets, one of which should be blue or blue (like the sky), and the other should be well combined with it, for example, yellow or orange. Glue the sheets together and fold the resulting blank in half so that the background for the sky is inside.
2. Now take care of the cover: in the center you need to stick a paper rectangle of blue or blue color (the same as the inside). Place white paper applications along its edges: an airplane, clouds and birds. In each figure, before gluing, you can cut through some element (window, wing outline, etc.) to make the details look more interesting. Finish the cover with paper lettering, placing it in the center: “dad”, “brother”, etc.
3. For the inside, cut out a plane from cardboard and paint it (or stick on colored film / paper). To make it appear larger, stick it to the opening half of the postcard using thick double-sided tape. Glue clouds around the plane.
4. The last element left is the trail from the plane. Make it from a paper circle with wavy edges. Draw a spiral on it and cut it through. Glue the narrow part of the spiral below the tail of the aircraft, and the wide part with a wavy end on the opposite side.

Daytime “decorations” can be replaced with nighttime ones by making stars in a dark blue or black sky out of foil or metallized tape.

Po-oh-oh-driving-and-and-and!

In the style of "8 bit": do-it-yourself voluminous postcards for February 23

Let's start with the most common type of troops in the country: virtual, or computer. If your dad had the prefix "Sega" or "Dandy", he will definitely appreciate a pop-up postcard with a space invader or a scalp.

To make a postcard for February 23 in the “8 bit” style with your own hands, you will need 3 sheets of colored paper or cardboard, a ruler, a cutter or a scalpel, a piece of tape, glue and a printed template.

Fold 2 sheets in half and set one aside for now. Print out the postcard template, align the center line with the fold, and use a ruler to make cuts along the red lines. Then bend along the green lines. Glue the blank to the second sheet with a fold, and build an envelope from the third. The more intrigue - the more interesting the gift.

Done, you are amazing!

Parade of technology: do-it-yourself postcards for February 23

If you have time, patience and multi-colored paper, and your dad or grandfather is a real military man with real shoulder straps, make him a more complex surprise card for Defenders of the Fatherland Day. The materials are the same (only tape is not needed).

Starting day, you need to correctly bend the sheet for the future postcard on February 23 (see master class). The next step is gluing stripes: red, blue and green background for the surprise tab. Decorate the “face” of the card with a bronze-colored application-branch.

Next, you need to cut out a “pedestal” for the equipment, glue it to the fold of the postcard and fix the figures of tanks, aircraft, etc. on it. The do-it-yourself postcard is almost ready - it remains to cut and paste the numbers, stars and make “berries” to the branch from lumps of paper.

Postcards-origami for February 23 in the form of shirts

If your real dad is not related to the army and seems to have been born in a jacket and a white shirt, fold for him for February 23 origami postcard in the form of a shirt.

Making an origami card is very easy. Just keep in mind that in the process of work, the sheet will decrease many times, so it is better to take a sheet of paper large and thin enough. This card is essentially an envelope card, so you can put a note of congratulations or a small gift (like movie tickets) inside.

You can glue ties or bow ties, pockets, buttons to the finished one - in a word, make them even more like real ones.

Similar shirt cards can be made even easier. If you do not have a large sheet of paper, but have cardboard, it is better to focus on them.

And here the card-shirt is supplemented with a tunic. And for a sailor on February 23, you can make a postcard with a vest.
