Let's go back to creating a postcard. It's pretty easy to make.

There you can also purchase ready-made strips for quilling and a special device for curling paper, in which case you can do without toothpicks and cutting strips.

The workflow is quite simple. To begin with, you need to cut a 20 by 15 cm rectangle out of thick paper and bend it in half. This will give you the bulk of the craft. Next, we cut out a smaller rectangle, 9.5 by 14.5 cm, but already from cardboard for scrapbooking. Glue it in the middle of the body.

Now we do curls... We wind strips of white paper on a toothpick or special tool. This must be done so that you end up with a tightly curled curl that will not fall apart. Apply glue to the edge of the curl and press down. Make 15 curls in this way and form flower petals out of them with your fingers, flattening them in the corners.

Now we lay out the flowers on the front side of the base of the postcard and glue it. We use beads as the core of the flowers. Next, we decorate the congratulatory craft at our discretion: you can add drawn hearts, glue additional curls, make beautiful inscriptions, add a satin ribbon bow. The postcard is ready!

You can make a more original postcard, which will be accompanied by a small tasty gift - such the postcard is called "chocolate maker". A similar craft is quite suitable as a gift from a daughter or son for a silver, gold or pearl wedding.

For the base of the postcard, you need to cut out a rectangle measuring 22 by 7 cm.Separately, we make a blank for the pocket where the sweetness will be located, this part of the postcard should be 8 by 14 cm in size.

We make folds in those places of the main part of the postcard, as shown in the image. We do the same with the pockets, after which we fix them in the inside of the postcard.

Now we need to do the decoration. You can decorate a congratulatory craft in different ways: you can draw a cute drawing and glue it to the base, you can make an applique in quilling technique or scrapbooking - all this is done at your discretion.
