Instructions
Step 1
To make a beautiful postcard with your own hands, you have to try. If the size of the photo that you want to turn into a postcard is 10x15, then you will need a sheet of thick white A4 cardboard.
Step 2
Fold the sheet in half and carefully glue the photo onto one side. Wait until dry. Glue lace around the photo. They can be of any color, but it is better to match one of the shades that is in the photographic picture. To make the lace lay flat, cut it into four pieces. Each line should be equal in length to one side of your photo. First, attach the lace to the future postcard, see if it came out neatly, then glue it.
Step 3
When the glue is dry, you can start decorating with beads. They can be attached randomly on a free sheet, or they can be glued in the left or right corner in the shape of a flower or a heart.
Step 4
Cut out the pieces of colored paper and place them to the right and left of the photo, at the top, near the fold line. Then glue a large bead in the center of the leaf - this will be the corolla of the flower. Oblong beads and bugles will serve as petals.
Step 5
You can also decorate the lace with which you framed the photo with beads or beads. To do this, select beads to match the lace and glue at the joints of the openwork segments. Get creative. The more unusual your postcard is, the more the recipient will remember it.
Step 6
And most importantly, when thinking over the design of the postcard, do not forget about its content. Not less, if not more, attention should be paid to the kind words that you write in it. Try to make the text of your congratulations come from the very heart. Do not take heartless wishes and stupid quatrains from the Internet. It is better to remember how much good the person for whom you are preparing the gift did for you. Put your thoughts and feelings about him on paper. And then, coupled with an unusual design, your postcard will amaze you with spiritual revelations with the warmth of words.
