The production of postcards for shops is on stream. From the many options presented, it is very difficult to choose something truly original and unusual. But you can decorate the purchased postcard beautifully yourself.

Instructions
Step 1
Choose a postcard that matches the theme of the holiday. Pay special attention to its original appearance. Remember that you want to decorate it yourself. It is best if she has a minimum of shiny prints, raised pictures and text. She should have a fairly modest appearance. Postcards made of thick matte cardboard, decorated with a small typographic picture and no text inside, work very well.
Step 2
Think about the greeting you want to put inside the postcard. It is not necessary to be filled with a nightingale, but a few warm and sincere words will become the most beautiful decoration. Think about how to arrange the text. To do this, practice on a separate sheet of paper, cutting it to fit the postcard. Stop at the option you like. If your handwriting is not very good, print the congratulation on a printer (use colored paper for this).
Step 3
Take a small piece of satin ribbon. In length, it should correspond to the vertical side of the card on the front and back sides. Decorate it with beads, sequins, bows, and any other decorative elements. Attach the tape from the inside of the card with glue, or simply sew with string (a circle will form) and slide it over the front. The placement options vary; it will look best closer to the fold or from the edge of the page.
Step 4
Find the right stickers for the beautiful design of your postcard. They are sold in stationery stores. You can use both special stickers for postcards (they differ in volume and the “HandmadeCard” marking), as well as the most common ones. The only rule: make sure that they fit organically into the main color scheme and theme.
Step 5
Place in front of you a draft of the postcard (on which you tried on the text). Choose from a set of stickers. Approximately, using a pencil, estimate their location. Place a few stickers inside, and some decorate the front of the card. Transfer the design elements to a real postcard.
