Instead of the usual decorative paper, the map is used very successfully here! You can find such a fragment of the map, which depicts the place of service of your man or just a country or city that is significant to him.

And the quilling elements are used here: "eye" - for the sails and the base of the ship, "triangle" - for the flag.

Postcards for "non-military"

You will hardly surprise anyone with postcards in the form of men's shirts and jackets, this idea has become too common, although it is, of course, interesting. And if you like it, then most likely you will appreciate this version of the postcard:

It is done very simply: in fact, here you just need to pick up paper in the same style and cut rectangles out of it, and then stick it on the base for the postcard. The "tie" is tied from a satin ribbon, the tip is melted over the candle so that the ribbon does not crumble.

But such a card with a pocket is ideal if, in addition to the postcard, the man is planning to present a certificate in the form of a plastic card. In this case, it fits perfectly into the pocket.

There are a lot of ideas for postcards, so there will be enough for all your relatives, friends and the closest representatives of the opposite sex) Good luck with your work!

Very soon our country will celebrate a holiday dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland Day. Only for certain, few people know that in 1995 February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army's victory over the Kaiser's troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

This is such a complex name for this holiday. And only in 2002 it was decided to shorten it and leave only the last few words. And so it happened that February 23 is called the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

By the way, on this holiday it is necessary to honor not only men, but also women. After all, the fairer sex also serve, risking their lives.

This was just a small part of the background, and now we return to the preparation of this event.

It just so happened that for any holiday, including February 23, children prepare gifts and congratulations to their dads, grandfathers and other relatives. They make crafts and postcards with their own hands. Adults accept them with pleasure, and someone even keeps them. A paper card for February 23rd for dad is the kindest and most sincere gift.

Today I just want to help the children to cope with this task. Today I will tell you how to make postcards for February 23 with a description.

Do-it-yourself card for dad on February 23

First of all, I'll show you how to make an Airborne Forces postcard. Why did I choose the paratroopers, and not the pilots and sailors? Because our dad served in the airborne troops, and we are proud of that.

Every year we dress up in vests with the whole family and with the flag we go to the city procession, we honor the memory of the dead, and then we start celebrating.

Last year we were even able to attend international events, there were a lot of impressions.

So by February 23, we decided to give dad a gift, and attach a postcard to the gift.

In order to make a greeting card for the Airborne Forces, you will need:

• Colored paper;
• Glue;
• Scissors;
• Cardboard sheet;
• Pencil.

We need cardboard for the base of the postcard, it is better to use a pencil glue, because the parts are not large and it will be easier to use it. A pencil will be needed for drawing clouds and a parachute, scissors for cutting out these details.

Let's get to work and start making a greeting card for the Airborne Forces.

The first step is to fold a piece of cardboard in half, this will be the base of the postcard. You choose the color yourself.

I can suggest to simplify the task, here is a template. It can be printed if you have a printer.

In the same way, you can either draw a parachute or print it. Here's another template for you.

It doesn't matter if you draw it all or print it, now you just need to cut it out.

We bend the resulting clouds and the parachute exactly in the center. We grease one half of the parachute with glue and connect it to the half of the other parachute. Look, I made them in different colors, in combination they will resemble a paratrooper vest. As soon as our parachute is ready, we grease its edges and glue it to the cardboard in the place you like.

Slings can be drawn, you can make them from threads, or you can cut them out of the template that I offered you a little higher. I used the last option.

Now we need to make the clouds. We do the same with them. Just do not forget for the accuracy, because the postcard should not be stained with glue. As a result, I got such a greeting card for the Airborne Forces.

In my opinion, such original postcards for February 23 with children are not at all difficult to make.

Postcard for 23

Master class postcard for dad with numbers 23

In this work, I will not provide templates, so you need to rely only on yourself.

To make a postcard for dad with the numbers 23, you will need:

• White cardboard;
• Golden cardboard;
• Colored paper;
• Scissors
• Glue;
• Pencil.

When all this is there, we prepare the surface and get to work. The first thing to do is bend a sheet of white cardboard like this.

From blue and red paper, cut strips 2 centimeters wide and as long as cardboard. We glue the strips as shown in the photo. It turns out to be a wonderful tricolor. Glue a green rectangle in the middle of the postcard.

Now we take a golden cardboard, draw a twig with leaves on the back and cut it out. It must be glued on top.

You can also use colored paper, only it will quickly wrinkle, because we glue the twig only in the middle.

In conclusion, you need to cut out two numbers from cardboard or colored paper. I decided to take the scarlet color. Draw numbers with a pencil and cut out. We glue one on one side of the postcard, the other on the other.

Useful Tips

Hand-made cards are always a pleasure to give and receive. By February 23rd you can cook several different postcards and crafts made by hand. They can be made by yourself or with children and presented to dad, grandfather, uncle, friend, colleague.

In this master class, you will learn how to make several types of postcards and do-it-yourself gifts.

DIY crafts for February 23rd. Origami shirt

Video Lesson (below it is a diagram in pictures)

To make a paper shirt you will need rectangular sheet of paper any color.

You can also yourself choose shirt size... When choosing a size, you need to take into account several details: the ratio of the length and width of the rectangle is 2: 1; the sides of the shirt after assembly will be 2 times smaller than the sides of the rectangle.

* You can start by folding an origami shirt using a regular sheet. Thus, you will find out where and how mistakes can be avoided when making a direct gift.

1. First you need to fold the rectangle in half, but not across it. Next, you need to unfold and fold the edges of the paper to the middle (see picture).

3. Prepare your sheet again, face down. Bend the corners again to the fold lines you just made. No need to unbend those little corners this time.

4. Now bend the top of the sheet with folded corners in the part of the paper where the edge of the sheet intersects with the fold lines of the corners.

5. The next thing to do is fold the two ribs in the middle of your paper shirt and make the sleeves (see picture) while holding the ribs with one finger.

6. You've made the sleeves, and now it's time to move on to the collar. You may have guessed by now that the collar should be started at the other end of the folded rectangle. To do this, fold the bottom edge of the sheet so that the collar is about 2 times shorter than the sleeve.

7. Flip the folded sheet over and make the corners of the collar.

8. Finally, fold the resulting sheet over to line up the hem with the sleeves and collar. Straighten the corners of the collar and use glue to secure them for security.

You have made the base of the shirt. Move on to the decoration. Add buttons. You can also add a corner of a handkerchief, bow tie, or tie.

Scheme of how to make a paper tie for your shirt:

Using an origami shirt as a base, you can easily decorate your card. You can make a large shirt and use it alone as a gift.

You can also make several small shirts in different colors and attach them to one card.

On any occasion, the most important gift is a reminder that the man you love is important to you. For this, a handmade gift is what you need.

The first postcard is called "Military Equipment". To do it, take paper. The sheet should be dense and white. Fold it in half. Next, you need to fold it on different sides, making an accordion. Cut off strips of colored paper (3 pieces): one blue, one red, one green. The first two are glued on one side, thus making the Russian flag. But the green one is glued on the second side, on which different figures will subsequently be placed.

Now we take multi-colored paper and draw equipment, but not all, namely military. For example, it can be a tank or a ship. Don't make big images. The main thing is to make a leg, grease it with glue, attach it to the postcard. Then we take gold foil, cut out the numbers 2 and 3, various stars and attach them.

Now we will have a postcard for February 23 "Air". We take cardboard. It should be thick and white. Cut out the required rectangle from it. Next, you need multi-colored sticks, they are usually available with sweets. Glue them so that you get a frame. After that we make an airplane and glue it to the very center. You will need pencils, with the help of which clouds are drawn and congratulations are written.

If you are still thinking how to make a beautiful postcard for February 23 with your own hands, here is an interesting idea. It is called "Military shirt". Prepare the paper to be folded in half. Now again so that folds are obtained - 4 pieces. The upper ones are the sleeves. We bend them like wings of airplanes. We turn it over, find the edge at the bottom, bend it. Turn over. Bend the corners from above to the center, the shirt gets a collar.

Instructions for making a military shirt

Now we find the edge below, fold it, pack it under the collar. We decorate with a tie, pockets, shoulder straps and so on to make a military postcard for the holiday. Take paints. On the other hand, glue some beautiful piece of paper, and then write there a poem or just a congratulation. Now you can take foil, make stars out of it and decorate.

The sea postcard will appeal not only to sailors. So take the blue paper. Now we need to draw the waves. Clouds are needed next. They all need to be cut out. On white paper you need to draw and then cut out the sails. Brown is useful for the base. Yellow is for the sun. You will need light blue cardboard. All this needs to be glued onto it. It turns out a cool postcard that you made with your own hands for the Defender of the Fatherland Day, and write congratulations to the other side.

Nautical postcard

To make an order, take a piece of cardboard and fold it in half. Now prepare red paper, draw a star on it and glue it on the front side. The size of this item can be completely different. It can be large, or very small. Then draw a circle on yellow paper, which should coincide with the center of the star. We glue, draw 23, attach foil, shiny paper. Now the main thing is congratulations.

If you still have a question about how to make DIY postcards for February 23 for your grandfather, then a star will help you. Draw a star on red paper. We leave allowances. When they are cut, we bend them inside. We outline the rays. The product needs to be bent along them, then our star will be three-dimensional. Next, we cut out the exact same object from the cardboard and glue the red one to it. We decorate the contour with something, and on the other side we write congratulations on the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

And here is an unusual card for dad. We take cardboard, red, cut out 3 stars. They must be different. Glue a bead in the center of each of them. We take white cardboard and bend it in half. Glue decorative tape to the corners. We will have stars in the center. The middle is perfect for a greeting. It is not necessary to take paper, the fabric will look beautiful too.

The original postcard for February 23rd will appeal to all men. Take cardboard, draw a star shape. We glue it very well, now we take the matches and glue it. You need to do this quickly, otherwise the glue will dry out. In this case, matches must be stacked very tightly. Cut out some pictures where there is a military theme. We are waiting for our workpiece to dry up. We glue it on top. If no drawings are found, we will draw ourselves.

We present you a very original postcard on February 23rd for a friend that you can make yourself. Take the sheet. Fold it in half. Bend the ends back. Take sheets of paper: green, red and blue.

Draw an airplane and clouds on white paper. The sun is on the yellow one. Then cut it out. Glue the sun, an airplane on top, and clouds next to it. It remains only to sign our application.

We will make a voluminous postcard with our own hands. For which we need double-sided cardboard. Fold it in half and turn it over to bend towards you. Make 2 cuts, which should be exactly perpendicular to the fold. Next, fold this small square. Open the postcard and this square must be bent inward. You will get a step. Then draw some kind of figure. It could be a soldier or a sailor. Then we attach the equipment on the topic, that is, an airplane or a submarine. Then we make the Russian flag and add. We draw the number 23 and sign it.

This card is very stylish. Take the bow-shaped pasta. Then they need to be painted. Next take a brush and decode them. Then you need colored paper, preferably blue. From it you need to make a rectangle, bend it in half, in length. You should have a rectangle measuring 5 by 10 cm. Step one and a half centimeters from one edge and draw a line.
