A holiday is approaching - the birthday of friends or relatives, wedding, anniversary, New Year, May Day, but you never know what else. This means that gifts have to be thought out. Give a postcard? The choice of postcards is now quite large, but with all their diversity, this is still a serial item, unoriginal, with a printed standard congratulation. Then you can create an exclusive postcard with your own hand.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, let's decide what exactly we are going to create. A postcard is not necessarily a decorated piece of paper with congratulations. You can go further.
Step 2
One of the options is a collage, for example, from photos of the birthday person and matching pictures. This also includes a special magazine - dedicated to the relevant holiday or the hero of this celebration. The magazine may be very small 2-4 pages, but it is quite "real", for example, with a photo of the birthday boy, his interviews and statements of friends about him.
Step 3
Or you can create a greeting card without any paper at all. For example, to depict on the ground. Trample a congratulation and a drawing on freshly fallen snow, draw an original congratulatory graffiti right on the asphalt.
Step 4
Another idea is a "postcard" made of salted dough. Here, too, you can dream up. Let's say you sculpt a lollipop and place a wish for a sweet life on it. You can sculpt a book in which a congratulation will be written or a chalkboard.
Step 5
If you nevertheless decide to make a postcard out of paper, there is also where to turn around. You can use natural materials to create a postcard: dried leaves and flowers, twigs, chestnuts, acorns, stems, blades of grass, etc. First you need to come up with a plot and draw everything with a pencil - if something is wrong, it is easier to erase the pencil than redo the postcard. You can depict, for example, a wreath of flowers, and lay out congratulations from stems and blades of grass. And you can lay out a drawing or congratulation from coffee beans, using velvet paper or golden mesh as a background.
Step 6
You can use glitter glue, beads, beads and bugles, satin ribbons and lace when creating a postcard (if you are making a postcard for a fashionista and want to add glamor to your creation). In principle, any material at hand is suitable for creating a postcard, even toilet paper, from which, by the way, very original compositions are obtained.
Step 7
Another question is where to get the plots for the postcard. Here you can try to walk, for example, in bookstores or kiosks, look at ready-made postcards, perhaps you will like some stories or elements. Then it is better to sketch them, and then arrange them as you want and embody them in your masterpiece.
Step 8
And, finally, perhaps the main charm of the postcard is the words of congratulations. Poems or prose, they must be sincere and original. Do not skimp on good wishes and praise to your friends and family. Wish them not only traditionally health and happiness in their personal lives. Come up with special words for each and, you can be sure, they will definitely appreciate it.
