- Take a cardboard that suits us in density. Someone likes it very tight, and someone so that the card is slightly bent. Any suitable old postcard can be used as a template.
- Cut the desired number of pieces. Bend them in half. If plain cardboard seems too boring to you, stick colored paper on top of it, and then fold it in half.
- Prepare the applique. If you are not distinguished by clearly expressed abilities for painting, you can cut out relevant drawings from a magazine or a brochure. And then circle them and cut blanks of colored paper. You can take a smooth or velor. You can also make applications of unnecessary scraps of fabric, which should be pre-washed and ironed.
- We paste them on the blank of the card, add a congratulatory or funny inscription, decorate with beads or ribbons if necessary.
- That's all, our Easter card is ready!
