Thread card
How to make a DIY wedding card? In order to make something beautiful, you need an original idea. You can decorate a thick sheet of paper with the help of a complex design of threads. How to create it? Take a solid base, such as a small piece of wood or a sheet of foam. Drive the cloves into the base. Arrange them in the shape of a heart. Take the red threads and start winding them in a chaotic manner, but so that the form fills uniformly. When you manage to create a uniform openwork heart, fill it with strong fixation hairspray and wait. Now take out the cloves and remove the heart. You will need to duplicate the edge of the resulting form with wire or a thick tourniquet. Glue the heart to the center of the card, and then create a cardiogram. To do this, you will again need cloves and a base. According to a previously drawn sketch, make zigzags, fix them with varnish and remove. Complete with double lines the formed heart. To make the composition look finished, you can make a postcard a frame. But to supplement the product with ribbons and overhead parts is not worth it. The main focus should remain the heart. It is also advisable to decorate the inside of the card with threads. Then the spread will harmoniously complement the front.
