Their number depends entirely on your idea: the more complex it is, the more elements will be required. When completing each piece, be sure to secure it at the end with glue so that it doesn't fall apart.

A very unusual option would be a greeting card in the form of volumetric flowers. A child aged 10, 12, 13 or 14 years old and even younger will be able to cope with the creation of such a craft. Let's see how you can make a beautiful postcard with bells step by step. Any other flowers can be made in the same way.

So, for work you need colored paper, cardboard, scissors, glue and a pencil.

• First you need to take a piece of blue paper and fold it in half.... On the line of its fold, it is required to draw a half of a flower. This part will need to be cut. As a result, you should get a symmetrical flower cup. If necessary, you can slightly tweak the petals of the flower to make them more curly.
• Next, the bell needs to be cut along the midlines, which are located between the petals... After that, the petals should be placed on a cardboard base, placing them and glue them at a certain distance from each other.
• We make a stalk separately by cutting it out of paper... If desired, you can use an ordinary tube for this.
• After that, cut out the green paper leaves and fold them in half. We coat only one side of them, after which we attach it to the cardboard.
• The craft is ready! It remains only to arrange it, adding a congratulation without fail and, if necessary, additional decorative elements.

A card with a heart is just as easy and fast to execute. For work, you will need the following materials: a simple pencil, PVA glue, scissors, colored paper and thick cardboard. The work progress is quite simple.

• Initially, you will need to make a blank, which will consist of two main parts. You can carefully familiarize yourself with the creation of this blank in the figure.
• Cut out the main part of white paper, which will look like a large double heart. When cutting it, we recommend that you act carefully so that the edge of this part turns out to be even.
• Now take red or pink paper and cut out a smaller triple heart... It will need to be glued into the first blank, having previously folded into an accordion. It remains only to attach small hearts inside the large one, add decor, as well as congratulations, if desired. Do-it-yourself card for mom is ready!

All elements must be beautifully arranged with each other so that the final result looks harmonious. Do not forget to choose a place for a small hole through which the thread or tape of the future pendant will be passed. Separately, we note that it is worthwhile to make such a hole carefully and preferably using a hole punch, otherwise you will simply ruin the material or even the finished postcard. After securing all the necessary elements with glue, do not forget to sign the postcard. Ready!
