How to make postcards for the teacher with your own hands?

There are many reasons to make postcards for a teacher with your own hands: Teacher’s Day, New Year, March 8, birthday, September 1, Last call and so on. We offer you several workshops on creating beautiful and original cards.

Greeting card with volumetric flowers.

To make such cards for the teacher with your own hands, you will need:

• designer or plain cardboard for the base;
• colored paper or decoupage;
• glue;
• scissors;
• decor (e.g. buttons, elastic, ribbon, hearts, and so on);
• paints and brush or pencils.

Operating procedure:

1. Take a sheet of cardboard and fold it in half. Draw a ruler over the fold.
2. Take two different types of paper and cut out two pieces of the same shape. In our example, this is a rectangle with a round top.
3. Stick the two cut pieces close together on the front of the postcard.
4. On a joint of two elements stick a tape or elastic band.
5. Take colored paper and cut out long but not very wide rectangles. Make an accordion out of them. The width of one step should be no more than 1 centimeter. Glue the edges of the accordion together, trying to give the shape of a circle. Make two of these elements - one larger, the other smaller.
6. Take another sheet of paper and cut a circle with wavy edges. It is more convenient to do this with special scissors. Cut another such circle, just smaller than the first and from another sheet.
7. Gently glue two accordion flowers and one large wavy flower onto the top of the card. Stick a smaller part on top of the last.
8. Decorate the middle of the flowers with beautiful buttons or hearts.
9. Cut a small rectangle of colored paper or main cardboard and stick it on the bottom of the teacher’s card. Do it yourself sign it. For example, "To the day of the teacher" or "From March 8!".

Using scrapbooking technique

Such a postcard to the teacher with his own hands (photo below) is done easily and quickly, and looks very stylish and beautiful. For the manufacture you need to stock up on paper of different colors and textures. You can even use leftover wallpaper.

Sequencing:

1. Make the base of the postcard. It is better to make it from textured cardboard.
2. Take a few sheets of paper and cut small strips from each view. The edges can be left even, but if there are scissors with wavy teeth, then it is better to work with them.
3. Stick the strips next to each other on the front side, closer to the right edge.
4. From the cardboard cut out the frame for the inscription and stick it on top of the strips.
5. Decorate the frame with a signature, drawings or rhinestones.

It remains only to write a wish inside and the greeting card for the teacher is ready for you!

Greeting Card Bouquet

Such a card will be relevant for almost any occasion. Especially on Teacher’s Day, March 8th and birthday. It is done in three ways.

First way:

1. Print the top of the bouquet on cardboard. It should be in the center of the plain page.
2. Print a pattern on the back. For example, hearts.
3. Put a printed sheet in front of you so that you see the bouquet.
4. Bend the left corner to the right, and the right to the left so that you get a cone.
5. Cut excess paper on top.
6. Sign the card.
7. Take a ribbon and tie at the bottom of the bouquet so that the cone does not open.

The second way:

1. Take a simple sheet of cardboard and any decorative paper (wrapping, decoupage, color, and so on).
2. Glue decorative paper to one side of the cardboard . It should completely cover the sheet.
3. Print flowers in a bouquet or cut them from a magazine. Alternatively, you can draw flowers yourself.
4. Fold the cardboard in the same way as in the previous version to form a cone.
5. Glue the flowers on top.
6. Sign the card.
7. Tie a ribbon.

The third method is the combination of the first two. To do this, either a bouquet or a background is printed on cardboard. And the other is glued. Everything else is repeated - the sheet is folded into a cone, the card is signed and a ribbon is tied.
