How to make voluminous postcards with flowers on March 8

What do you need

• Black paper;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• patterned paper;
• glue;
• White paper;
• green double-sided paper;
• pink double-sided paper;
• red double-sided paper;
• peach double-sided paper;
• black felt-tip pen or marker.

How to do

Fold black paper in half across. From the top, measure down 8 cm and 19 cm and mark. From the first, draw a line 6, 5 cm long to the right, and 2 cm from the second. Cut the paper along the marked lines.

Measure from the small incision upwards 3 cm and mark. Fold the cut paper over to it. The video shows you in detail how to do this. Open the future postcard and align along the fold lines.

Place the closed postcard on the patterned paper and trace the outline of the volumetric detail. Cut out two small and large triangles and glue them from the inside to the cut shape. Glue the black paper to the white paper. You do not need to glue the cut out parts to remain voluminous.

Cut out many narrow strips 10 cm long from green paper. Glue them to the inside of the volumetric part, as shown in the video. Cut out many squares with sides of 3 cm from pink, red and peach paper. Fold them in half three times, cut a corner and unfold.

Glue the flowers to the green stems, behind the voluminous figure and next to the bouquet. Cut off excess strips. Draw a bow on pink paper, cut and trace it along the contour, and then glue it on the bouquet between the two volumetric details.

What other options are there

It is even easier to make a postcard with a voluminous tulip. Print, cut out the necessary parts and glue, as shown in the instructions:

The stems can be easily and quickly made from accordion-folded paper, and the buds from hearts. Such unusual flowers are also somewhat reminiscent of tulips:

And here is another beautiful volumetric postcard:

How to make lattice postcards with flowers with your own hands

What do you need

• Thick peach double-sided paper;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue;
• pink double-sided paper;
• beads;
• green double-sided paper.

How to do

This postcard looks like a wall of a gazebo strewn with curly flowers.

Fold the peach paper in half across. On all sides on the front side, make marks 1 cm from the edges. Connect them with lines and cut out a window.

Cut many strips 0.5 cm wide from another sheet of peach paper. Glue them diagonally to the window from the inside, cutting off the excess. Then glue the strips diagonally to the other side, intertwining them with the ones already glued. The process is shown in detail in the video. From the inside, glue a 1 cm wide frame onto the grate.

Cut a small square out of pink paper and fold it in half diagonally three times. Draw a petal, cut and unfold the flower. In the same way, make the flower smaller and twist the petals with scissors. Glue the two flowers together and decorate with a bead in the middle. Make some more colors as well. The petals can be shaped differently.

Draw a small leaf on green paper and cut it out. Fold it in half lengthwise and twist it slightly to create folds. Make some more leaves. Glue flowers and leaves to the bottom of the card.

How to make postcard dresses for March 8

What do you need

• Thick pink double-sided paper;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• White paper;
• glue;
• narrow pink ribbon.

How to do

Fold the paper crosswise in half. To make it easier, run in the middle with scissors or a pen, without cutting all the way. On the front side on top, make a mark 4 cm from the fold, and 3 cm from the corner to the left. Measure 3 cm to the right from the last mark.

Connect the first and third points with a smooth line. Use the same line to connect the last mark with the lower right corner - see the video for details. Cut the paper along the marked lines.

Cut a slightly smaller rectangle out of white paper than the card. Stick it on the inside. Place the ribbon at the waist on the inside of the dress and mark the fold. Cut a hole in this place, stretch a piece of tape and tie in front. Write congratulations in a prominent place on white paper.

How to make postcards with flowers from paper strips

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• pink double-sided paper;
• orange double-sided paper;
• blue double-sided paper;
• green double-sided paper;
• glue;
• thick white paper;
• narrow peach ribbon.

How to do

Cut six strips of 1 cm wide from each sheet of colored paper. Take a pink, orange or blue strip and glue its edges so that you get a small loop.

Lubricate its base with glue and make a larger loop around. In the same way, make another loop and glue the remaining edge of the strip - you will get a petal. You will need six petals of each color. Glue them together to form flowers.

At the end of the green strip, make a loop slightly larger than the petals. Wrap the strip around the loop and glue the tip. Give the shape a leaf shape. Make two more such details.

Fold heavy paper in half to make a postcard. Glue the resulting flowers on it. Tie the ribbon with a bow and attach it to the bottom of the card. Glue the stems of green paper to each flower and under the bow, and the leaves to them.

What other options are there

Roses are made of paper just as easily. Cut small circles in a spiral and twist them to form flowers:

On a postcard, you can make an eight out of daisies. Here's a detailed master class:

Postcards made using the quilling technique look very beautiful. Paper compositions are made from tightly rolled strips. To save time and avoid cutting the stripes by hand, you can purchase pre-made paper.

How to make do-it-yourself cards with butterflies

What do you need

• Thick white paper;
• pencil;
• black felt-tip pen or marker;
• scissors;
• pink note paper;
• peach note paper;
• rhinestones with an adhesive base;
• glue;
• narrow red ribbon.

How to do

Fold the white paper in half. Draw a semicircle on the front side as shown in the video and cut it out. Trace the outline of the semicircle with a felt-tip pen or marker.

To decorate, you will need three pink butterflies and two peach ones. You can use regular colored double-sided paper, but it is more convenient to make them from note paper.

Take a piece of paper from the block and cut off the adhesive layer, if any. Fold the paper in half and draw a butterfly on it with its middle on the fold. Cut out the shape and unfold. Make the butterfly smaller in the same way.

Decorate the small butterfly with rhinestones. Lubricate the fold with glue and glue the large part to the fold. Craft a few more butterflies in the same way. Glue them along the contour of the semicircle. Write in the window any congratulatory inscription and paste over it from the inside with rhinestones.

Cut some hearts out of paper and glue them in the upper left corner inside the card. These will be balloons. Draw the threads coming from them and attach a ribbon bow at the bottom.

Cut a 30 cm x 0.8 cm strip of orange paper and fold it in half. From the fold, make marks at a distance of 2.5 cm and 5 cm. Fold the folded strip along these marks, as shown in the video. Unfold and fold the strip inward along the folds to the center fold. Glue the resulting bow and glue to the top of the green pot.

Cut out 3 cm wide pieces of orange, pink and blue paper. Fold each of them like an accordion with sides of 2–2.5 cm. Draw a drop and cut along the contour. To make a tulip bud, glue three petals of each color together. See the video for details. You will need 7 tulips in total.

Cut a 10 × 5.5 cm rectangle out of green paper, and a 7 × 5 cm part from white paper. Glue the white part to the bottom of the green one. Write congratulations on white paper. Glue tulips on top. Insert the congratulation part into the vase so that the flowers are visible.

How to make a voluminous card-heart on March 8

What do you need

• Scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• White paper;
• red corrugated paper;
• glue;
• black double-sided paper;
• red double-sided paper.

How to do

Cut a 18 cm square out of white paper. Fold it in half and unfold it. The fold in the middle should be clearly visible. On two opposite edges of the sheet, make marks 2 cm apart. Connect them with lines.

Cut 4 squares with 16 cm sides out of red corrugated paper. Lubricate the fold of the sheet with glue and glue one square in the middle. Glue the rest to this square in the same way.

Fold the card in half. Draw half a heart in the center of the paper so that the middle is on the fold - see the video for details. Cut out the shape along the outline. At this stage, you will have a booklet with corrugated pages.

Apply glue to the first, third, and fifth strips drawn on the white paper on the right. Glue some crepe paper to it. On it, grease the outlines of the even stripes drawn on white paper with glue, and glue the next corrugated page. If the stripes are not visible, glue the parts by eye. In the same way, alternating strips, glue the rest of the pages.

Fold a sheet of black paper in half and draw a larger heart on it than you finished. Glue the latter to black and close the postcard. Make a 6 cm square out of red paper, fold in half and cut out a heart. Likewise, get a small heart. Lubricate the folds with glue and stick to the outside of the card.
