Children love to give their loved ones gifts made with their own hands. And if the birthday girl is a grandmother, why not make a postcard for her? Help from parents, correctly selected materials, our advice - and a do-it-yourself card for grandmother for her birthday is ready.
Tender joy
Usually girls are more romantic and they like to make products with flowers. To make a postcard from your granddaughter, as in the photo, you need to prepare:
- colored cardboard;
- multi-colored scraps or pieces of gift paper;
- scissors;
- buttons;
- thread with a needle;
- glue;
- green felt-tip pen or pencil.
Cut out circles of different diameters from the flaps. You will need three mugs for each flower. Sew a button to the smallest mug, this will be the middle of the flower. There will be three flowers in total, but you can increase this number if you wish.
Fold a sheet of cardboard in half, forming a postcard. First, glue the largest circles in the middle so that the edges resemble petals. Glue smaller circles on top with a second layer in the same way. Glue the circles with buttons last. Finish the stems and leaves of flowers with a green pencil.
Inside the postcard, write a congratulation, and if the child is still small, then write to the parents "From grandmother", and the child will write the name himself. In a similar style, you can make a postcard where the flowers will be of the same diameter, without buttons and not from fabric, but from colored napkins.
Kindness of the heart
Both boys and girls will love this card made of hearts.
She needs a cardboard blank, a template (choose a heart), colored paper, scissors and glue.
This postcard can be done in two ways. Hearts can be painted with patterns or write on each heart, for which the children are grateful to their grandmother. For example, for fairy tales, pies, a smile, care, etc.
When the hearts are ready, the paper tree trunk is first glued onto the card, and the hearts in the form of twigs are glued on top. It turns out cute, and then you don't have to write the congratulation text, because the hearts will tell you why they love your grandmother.
Another option for a postcard is to fold a sheet of colored cardboard in half and on one side of the fold with a simple pencil draw the outline of the child's palm, as in the photo:
If you cut out the palms along the contour and open the postcard, it turns out that the palms are holding the heart. Inside the postcard, you can paint it with flowers or butterflies and sign it.
A tribute to grandma's pies
Grandmothers will always give you tasty food and tea. The postcard in the form of a teapot will really please your grandmother.
On a piece of cardboard, glue the image of a teapot, decorate it with artificial flowers, sparkles, glue pieces of lace, images of a jar of jam.
Items such as aprons are also associated with grandmothers, because the grandmother works in the kitchen to feed the whole family. A very interesting idea for older children to make an apron postcard themselves as in the photo.
Bend the cardboard blank in half. At the front, cut out the corners so that the shape of the apron is formed. Glue it over with gift paper, glue a multi-colored pocket on top, decorated with a piece of lace. Round off the bottom of the apron with scissors and decorate with a frill made of corrugated paper. Glue ribbons at the top and along the edges - satin strings. Or you can punch holes with a hole punch and carefully tie the ribbons through them. Draw separately on cardboard, and then cut out kitchen utensils that need to be inserted into the "belt" or into the pocket. Inside the postcard, write "Happy Birthday!"
Here are more options for postcards-aprons:
A special case
On grandmother's anniversary, I want the postcard to be special and festive. In this case, you can use bright buttons of different colors and a photo of a grandmother with grandchildren.
Decorate cardboard, sew or glue buttons in the form of a balloon, which "carries" the house with the photo. Connect the ball and the house with threads. Cut out the clouds from a transparent fabric and glue them around the house and the ball.
An anniversary is also an occasion for a big cake. The child will be happy to make such a bright, but simple postcard himself, only you need to stock up on beads, colored cardboard and plasticine.

A very delicate card is obtained from paper and plastic butterflies.
Paper butterflies are cut according to a pattern from thick, but thin paper. Glue the finished paper butterflies on cardboard and decorate the card with beads and lace. Plastic butterflies can be cut from bottles and painted with nail polish or paints.
Flower pots
To make such a postcard, you need decorative colored glass pebbles on an adhesive basis, multi-colored cardboard, colored paper, contrasting strips of paper with polka dots or stripes, glue.
- Make 2 identical blanks of pots from colored cardboard and glue them together so that a pocket is formed in them, in which bouquets cut from colored paper would be placed.

Some ideas can be taken from the article about.
For example, ideas with the image of a dress are very interesting.
Let's make such a decor with our own hands.
We need an openwork napkin for cupcakes or sweets and glue.
You can create a beautiful design by doing a good job with a stationery knife.
For example, such an idea. 
A thick two-tone cardboard is taken, this is sold in stores for scrapbooking or for creativity.
A drawing is applied with a pencil, you can take it from the Internet, for example, a cake or candles. Then it is gently squeezed out along the lines with the sharp tip of a clerical knife.
The main thing is to put a board under the cardboard so as not to spoil the surface of the table.
You can leave it that way, but it is better to glue a rectangular sheet as a backing for the inscription.
Another idea where some of the elements are cut out. The lettering and plant elements can be repeated with a black helium pen.
Check out another asymmetrical front edge idea. Here, by the way, some elements can also be cut through.
Another master class on how to make a volumetric postcard inside.
For carved edges, you can use special scissors that cut in the shape of a curly line. By the way, my daughter and I have already purchased such a stationery. The child had a slight shock that the scissors could cut not only straight.
Ideas for congratulations to a man (dad or grandfather)
For men, congratulations are needed with a universal pattern. Better yet, if there is a special minimalism in the decoration.
You can only use a sheet of paper and multi-colored braid, as in this option.
Notice the interesting edges of the sheet. And for the inscription, you can use transparent tracing paper. You may have seen paper like this in candy boxes.
Or else a very laconic design, which is very suitable for a men's holiday.
Here is a diagram for such a composition, you can even print a template, and already make an inscription on it.
See how bright and festive the design looks, but there is nothing special about it. Just colored dots in a chaotic manner.
The scrapbooking technique allows you to create voluminous products. Different textures and shades are used for decoration.
Or you can work really hard and make congratulations with origami elements. The entire detailed master class is described.
I also liked the laconic geometry idea. For example, using stripes. It turns out strictly, but very elegant.
The strips can not only be drawn or pasted out of paper. But take a closer look at dark tape or braid for this purpose.

- Sheet of cardboard
- 2 sheets of heavy double-sided pink paper
- ribbons of two colors

Option for those who are engaged in quilling. Or a great opportunity to start practicing this technique. There are many detailed instructions on this topic on the Internet.
Such a decoration turns out to be very self-sufficient, you don't even need to add an inscription.
For needlewomen who use felt or sewing in their work, I propose this idea.

I think that you can easily implement all the options shown, the main thing is to approach this with a soul.
Ideas for simple congratulations with
balls
Balloons are one of the most important attributes of the holidays. And on their birthday they must be present without fail, even if only on a postcard.

An idea with grooved balls arranged in a precise geometric grid.
These circles can be cut from the packing carton if you peel off the top layer and reach the stiffeners.
Better yet, give a whole bunch of colorful balloons so that the birthday boy flew away to his swords.
More complex design idea.
Unusual color of the balls. They are cut from background images.
Glue the decor onto the volumetric double-sided tape. Then you get a 3d variation.
Another simple idea.
Notice how nicely simple little translucent buttons fit into this design.
You can download and install any font for the inscription in the simplest graphic editor, even Paint on your computer.
Write congratulations in it and translate it by attaching the paper to the monitor. And now you have a template ready.

I think that absolutely any needlewoman can use balls in her composition.
Simple gift ideas for a sister or girlfriend

Prepare letters for congratulations from different textures and make an inscription from them.
Just stick on a lot of hearts.

Another idea of using a bouquet of hearts. By the way, to make this option more interesting. Along the center line of each heart, sew the machine stitch with white thread.
