In this article, we will see how to make a dad a birthday card. Dads love us as much as mothers: they rejoice in all our victories and try to support us during the defeats.

Instead of roses, you can use anything you want: buttons, beads, even coffee beans.

  • Cut out the heart from white paper. Glue it in the middle on kraft paper.
  • Next, using the roses or what you replaced them with, glue the white heart around the edges so that a three-dimensional heart is obtained, as shown in the photo above.
  • After that, cut a small rectangle from another sheet of the craft and glue it just above the heart. Cut a rectangle of white paper even smaller than the previous one and paste it on top of the craft rectangle.
  • We take a pre-prepared satin ribbon, assembled by a bow, and either attach it to the card with glue, or hold it behind and tie it.
  • At the very end, when the handmade birthday card for Dad is ready for birthday, we write a wish on a white rectangle. Anything, the main thing - with all my heart, so that dad would be pleased.

  • We glue white cardboard on the inside so that it is a centimeter smaller than the main (color) on each side.

  • On the rectangles we write with felt-tip pens or paints congratulation for the father. The usual "Happy Birthday," "I Love You," and so on. If you want a handmade birthday card for your dad to be original, you can write something that only two of you will understand. Go for it!

How to make this birthday card for dad?

  • The first thing you need is to find in advance on the Internet and print images of tools: a hammer, a saw, a screwdriver, pliers and so on - of your choice. Next you need to carefully cut out the “tools” along the contour.
  • Next, take colored cardboard, cut a slightly smaller rectangle of white paper and glue it on top. On white paper, we stick craft paper (we make holes in it in advance) of an even smaller size.
  • We glue pre-printed and cut tools on top of the craft. We “fasten” with their heads the buttons, which we separate in advance from the legs.
  • After everything is done, we proceed to congratulation. We glue a rectangle from an ordinary sheet of paper at the very bottom of the postcard, and a rectangle from craft paper on top. On it we write beautiful congratulations to dad. "Happy Birthday," "I Love You," "You are the Best," is something warm and pleasant.

Any child can handle this pattern. All he needs is cardboard, paints and his own palm.

  • The kid dips his hand in the paint, leaves its imprint on the sheet and goes to wash the pens.
  • Further, the child already draws a brush on the candles with a brush (although it can also be done using the fingertips). For greater beauty, you can draw wavy lines on the "short", as shown in the photo.
  • If the child does not already know how to write, then you can help him finish the card: ask what he would like to pass on to dad, and write it on the card.

Plasticine postcard

How to draw a birthday card for dad, we discussed, let's see how it can be blinded.

sculpting card for dad

To make such a wonderful postcard, you will need cardboard, felt-tip pens, plasticine, a modeling board and a special knife - a stack.

  • The head and torso of the "dad" can be sculpted with any colors - as his imagination tells the child. For the head you need to roll the ball, then flatten it on the board with your fingers. In general, it will be necessary to flatten all parts of the body, since on the card they should be more or less flat.
  • The ball-body rolled into a sausage will become an oval. Handles and legs are also sausages.
  • After the little man is stuck together, we fix it on cardboard. We draw him buttons and a bow, as shown in the photo. We make a face: we draw eyes, a mouth, a nose and hairs. In the end, we write on the remaining plasticine-free part of the card a happy birthday for Dad.

Such a beautiful postcard from a child will surely please dad, and he will keep it for a long time and carefully.
