Useful tips

Handmade cards are always a pleasure to give and receive. By February 23rd you can prepare several different cards and crafts made with your own hands. You can make them yourself or with your children and give them to your dad, grandfather, uncle, friend, colleague.

Today, the holiday of February 23 has ceased to simply be a holiday for military personnel. On Defender of the Fatherland Day congratulations to all beloved men.

To make a card or gift, you need to prepare a few details, but first you need to think about the design, about what exactly you would like to do.

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

DIY crafts for February 23rd. Origami shirt

Video Lesson (underneath is a diagram in pictures)

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

You can also choose shirt size. When choosing a size, you need to consider several details: the ratio of the length and width of the rectangle is 2:1; The sides of the shirt after assembling it will be 2 times smaller than the sides of the rectangle.

* You can first try folding an origami shirt using a regular sheet. Thus, you will learn where and how you can avoid mistakes when making a direct gift.

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

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

4. Now bend the upper part of the sheet with the 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 to fold two ribs to the middle of your paper shirt and make sleeves (see picture), while holding the ribs with the finger of one hand.

6. You've done the sleeves and now it's time to move on to the collar. You may have already guessed that you need to start making the collar from the other end of the folded rectangle. To do this, fold the bottom edge of the sheet so that the collar is approximately 2 times shorter than the sleeve.

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

8. Finally, fold the resulting sheet so that the edge aligns with the sleeves and collar. Straighten the corners of the collar and use glue to secure them.

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

Scheme on 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 separately as a gift.

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

On any holiday, the most important gift is a reminder that the man you love is important to you. For this purpose, a gift made with your own hands is what you need.

Congratulations to the boys on February 23. Photo frame "Order"

With this gift you can reward your hero for all his achievements. This handmade order is suitable not only for an adult man, but also for a little boy. And most importantly, he will be pleased.

You will need:

Cork stand for hot dishes

Thin plexiglass

Satin ribbon (color blue, width 4cm)

Cardboard (thick paper)

Metal ring (2pcs)

Acrylic paint (gold color)

Colored paper

Eyelet 0.4cm, 1 piece (you can do without it)

PVA glue

Glue gun

Punch

1. Using PVA glue, prime the cork hotplate and paint over it using gold acrylic paint.

2. From cardboard or thick paper, cut out an eight-pointed star of such a size that the cork stand will fit as shown in the picture.

3. The star now needs to be covered with two layers of acrylic paint.

4. Use a glue gun to join the stand and star together. In this case, the recess in the stand should be on the outside.

5. Prepare plexiglass and cut out a circle from it, the diameter of which should be 0.1 cm larger than the diameter of the stand. This way you will ensure good fixation of the plexiglass in the photo frame.

6. Using a universal punch, make a hole in one of the arms of the star.

7. Insert the eyelet, which also needs to be secured, using the same punch, but with a special attachment for installing eyelets. Insert a metal ring into the hole.

8. Prepare a satin ribbon, thread it through the ring and make a bow.

9. Now you need to glue the second metal ring on the back side. It will be needed for fastening.

10. It's time to decorate the rays with triangular elements made from colored paper.

DIY gift for February 23rd. Keychain - shoulder strap.

In this master class you can learn how to make a military attribute with your own hands and give it to a man. Namely, you will learn how to make a felt keychain with embroidery as decoration.

You will need:

Burgundy felt (thickness 0.1cm)

Green felt (thickness 0.5cm)

Floss threads (different colors)

Copy paper

Eyelets 0.4cm (quantity 2 pcs)

Ring with chain (as part of a keychain)

Universal punch

1. Find a drawing of a soldier. Use transfer paper to transfer the design onto the felt.

2. Slowly pull the felt onto the hoop. Use the “simple double-sided satin stitch” technique and try to embroider a picture on felt. Next, you need to remove the hoop and cut out the image, leaving an allowance of 1.5 cm.

3. Prepare green felt and cut out 2 pieces from it in the shape of a small shoulder strap (both should be the same size). Now you need to make holes on both parts. To do this, you need to install the nozzle on the punch and punch.

Use a special attachment to secure the eyelets. You can also try to process this hole manually - just wrap the edges with threads of a suitable tone.

4. Using a hidden seam, it is tedious to sew felt with embroidery to one of the blanks made of green felt.

5. As for the other workpiece, here you need to make a slot in the form of a window.

6. For now, fold all the pieces and sew by hand using an over-the-edge stitch.

7. The top part needs to be decorated. To do this, sew it with red threads.

8. Insert a chain with a ring into the hole.

Postcard for February 23rd using quilling technique

You will need:

Paper

Simple pencil

Scissors

Quilling tool (can be replaced with a toothpick or awl)

Quilling paper

If you don't know about quilling, then watch two short video lessons on quilling for beginners.

Quilling for beginners (video)

1. Bend a piece of paper so that one half is longer than the other.

2. Using a simple pencil, mark the numbers 23 (see picture). You can simply draw numbers and cut them out, or you can cut strips from which you can then carefully fold the number 23.

3. Prepare quilling paper. Make blanks - twist the spiral using a toothpick.

4. Glue the quilling elements to your card.

5. Glue the number 23 on top.

6. You can decorate the card a little more, for example, by adding a red star, made using the quilling technique, or simply cutting it out of paper.

DIY postcard for February 23

You will need:

Colored paper (color: brown, red, golden)

Scissors

Glue (can be replaced with double-sided tape)

Printer

1. Make a blank by folding thick paper in half, drawing and cutting out a place for the star. You can print out an image of a star, cut it out, trace it on the blank, and then cut out the star on the blank itself.

2. Using scissors, you need to cut out the outline of the card, as well as the star on the front side. Next, fold the card in half.

3. Prepare a sheet of red paper and cut out a star from it. We need to make the star three-dimensional. To do this, bend the “ears” for gluing inward. In this case, the star itself must be bent so that its outer ribs go outward, and the inner ones, on the contrary, inward.

* You can use scissors to secure the ribs and prevent them from straightening out.

4. Use glue to attach the star inside the hole you made on the front of the card.

5. Now we need to decorate the card a little. To do this, prepare a golden sheet of paper and cut out a small star, as well as vertical and horizontal stripes.

Glue these elements of the card to the front side, namely in the places marked with a dotted line.

Poems from February 23

From February 23
This holiday is very significant
And it was not invented in vain.
May your spirit be healthy,
You are the defenders of the country!
Be a strong support for her
And they are always faithful in everything!

You are a man, which means you are a protector!
Your family hearth and peace,
Like a strong granite wall,
You protect yourself from adversity.

Be wise - a mind to match a man.
Wisdom is more precious than a crown.
Not the sage who is of higher rank,
The one with the higher rank is the one who is wise.

I want to congratulate my beloved
I'm happy February 23rd,
I can't leave you -
You are my best.

Congratulations, beloved husband,
Happy February 23rd!

Not only grown boys, men and grandfathers are preparing for February 23rd. Even very young sons also want to be fully armed. Together with the poems learned responsibly, the child can ask his mother to make a voluminous postcard with his own hands for his father or grandfather.

Now we will make an original Boat gift for dad. You can draw or find any other template online, such as a tank.

Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for February 23: master class

To work you will need:

printed template
colored cardboard
white cardboard
stationery knife
simple pencil
fine marker for signature

Let's start making a postcard

Using the template, we draw the details on colored cardboard. If your printer prints on thick paper, you can print the design directly onto construction paper and then cut it out.

We press a groove in the middle of the white cardboard sheet - this is the fold point. To do this, you can use a knitting needle, a ballpoint pen that no longer writes, or another object. Be careful not to cut through the cardboard!
Glue the colored part of the card to the white sheet, leaving the boat free.

We wait until the product dries, write a congratulation with a marker, and then fold the card in the marked place. You can make a line along the outline of the entire card with a marker. You can glue colored buttons to the sails, and bright paper twine to the hull of the ship.

Using multi-colored blanks and foam tape, you can make other items. They can be glued to cardboard or placed on a footrest as a stand-alone card.

Simple DIY postcard for February 23rd: photo

A postcard in the form of a men's suit, shirt, tie is a classic option that is suitable for congratulating the father of the family not only on February 23, but also on his birthday and any other holiday.

You can make a complicated card with many details that your imagination suggests. Or you can limit yourself to a simple scheme that children can handle quite well under the guidance of an adult. So, let's stock up on colored paper - and get to work!

You can put a congratulation inside the card on a separate sheet, or write it on the card itself.

A shirt made using the origami technique can be glued onto a regular postcard.

The simplest option for making a shirt postcard: make cuts on the sides and fold the edges of the “collar” towards the middle.

It is somewhat more difficult to make a postcard in the shape of a man's jacket. Below is a diagram of how to fold the paper.

Another folding pattern - this time you will end up with a shirt-shaped envelope. You can put your own baked cookies inside.

A real man looks great in a tie. Here is a diagram for folding a tie from colored paper.

The tie can be secured under the collar of a paper shirt.

The green shirt makes one think of a military uniform. After all, the holiday is dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland!

The symbolism of the holiday on February 23 suggests a military theme. Therefore, stars, ribbons, weapons and military equipment would be appropriate. Khaki color and colorful camouflage will complete the look.

With the help of the proposed scan it will be easier to make this spectacular postcard.

Postcards that gain volume when opened look interesting. Hidden inside this postcard is a ship rushing across the waves straight towards the viewer. The main difficulty in manufacturing is to correctly glue the three-dimensional elements so that the postcard can fold and open; Therefore, before gluing, check the functionality of the elements. Rubber glue is good for this purpose, because... it allows you to adjust the position of the glued parts without damaging the paper.

Invite your child to decorate the card with the sun, clouds, and flying seagulls. It would be useful to equip the ship with an anchor and a life preserver!

This card using the through-cutting technique () can be done by more experienced needlewomen, but it is very impressive and will decorate dad’s desk!

Below is a template for cutting out a postcard with a sailboat.

The vytynankas look very good against a contrasting background. You can make such a card together with your child: the mother will cut out the thin details, and let the child stick on the letters and numbers.

A white backing sheet is glued in so that the protrusions are perceived against a smooth, contrasting background. And on the next page you can place a congratulation.

The popular quilling technique can also become the basis of a postcard. Look how fun the congratulation looks against the backdrop of festive fireworks!

Silhouettes cut out of paper (colored or white) can be pasted onto a contrasting background to create an original postcard.

Cutting templates can be chosen according to your mood. For example, in a serious style.

Or in a humorous way.

Or even historical.

Military equipment can also be used.

If these pictures seem too complicated for you to use as cutting templates, then simply print them out (most pictures will be larger than they appear on the screen when saved) and offer them to your child as a coloring book. The painted drawings can be pasted onto a postcard and given to dad or grandfather.
