We make cards for the guy with our own hands

This greeting card will be a wonderful and lovely present for any occasion. Often, such products are made with their own hands using various materials and devices. There are a huge number of ideas for decorating these gifts. Today we will talk about how you can make a homemade postcard for a guy.

Such a homemade product with a schematic image of lovers will look interesting. In this case, you can take a simple cardboard as a basis, but first it is pasted over with various decorative cutouts. You can use a suitable gift wrap for this.

At the same time, a red cardboard is taken, on the back of which a heart is drawn with a simple pencil, and then it is carefully cut out. They also prepare a white material, on the back of it, two sketchy people are drawn. This can be done using templates. All this is also cut out with scissors. Next, the finished parts are glued to the cardboard base. The heart is attached to the central part, and people are attached to its lateral parts. Then they take a black felt-tip pen: with it in the middle you can make a nice and cute inscription.

If you wish, you can cut two small hearts out of red paper, decorate them with small patterns, and then glue one such element per person. The finished present is often decorated with other additional decorative details. Such a postcard will be a great option for a beloved man in the army.

You can also make a postcard envelope. In this case, a blank in the form of an envelope is formed from cardboard or thick paper. Then its surface is completely pasted over with paper in the color of an army uniform.When the glue is completely dry, typical writing paper margins are glued to the surface of the blank, which can be cut out of a clean new envelope. With the help of a felt-tip pen and a template in the central part of the postcard, you can make a beautiful inscription. You can also draw small decorative elements (hearts, stars).

In this case, you can make a beautiful postcard using the quilling technique. For this we need:

• scissors;
• glue;
• colored paper (red, burgundy, pink);
• cardboard.

First, prepare the basis for the presentation. Better to take cardboard material. One sheet is folded in half and then pasted over from the outside with bright colored paper. In this case, you can leave a small indent from the edges. After that, blanks are formed from several sheets of colored paper in the form of thin strips with different lengths. Many such elements should be done at once. Next, each part obtained is carefully twisted into spirals, and their ends are fixed with an adhesive composition.

When a sufficient number of spirals are ready, they begin to form a decor in the form of a heart. This can be done directly on cardboard. In this case, it will be most convenient to use a ready-made form. You can also draw a sketch on the base in advance with a simple pencil. When the heart is made and glued to cardboard, the finished card will have to be decorated with various elements, for example, satin ribbon bows. Also, if you wish, you can print or write a beautiful congratulatory inscription.

Another good option can be a man's postcard made of threads. For this we will need:

• cardboard;
• threads of different colors;
• scissors;
• glue;
• awl;
• double sided tape;
• colored paper;
• sewing needle.

To begin with, you will need to take cardboard and schematically draw a sketch of the future image on it. A small ship will look nice and neat. You can also find a ready-made template. Further, holes are formed in the cardboard using an awl, while a sewing needle should freely pass through them. After that, holes are sewn with red threads, which are located opposite to each other. At the same time, you will need to take the stitched material and attach it to the base (you can also use a cardboard sheet as it).

Another option would be a man's postcard with old unnecessary gears. To create it, cardboard is taken, then it is folded in half to end up with a blank for a two-layer product. Then a special scrapbooking paper is prepared. A piece is cut out from it 0.5-1 centimeter smaller than the base. Further, the background image should be artificially aged. To do this, you can use sandpaper, with which the edges of the craft are rubbed. After processing, these parts are slightly bent to the other side. This procedure is optional, it is done at will.

Later, take a small rectangular or square piece of thick white paper. Its ends can also be artificially aged. On the received blank, you should write a congratulatory inscription and, in this form, stick it on the central part of the presentation. You can fasten it to the base using old metal wire. After that, several gears are taken. It is better to fix them on the sides of the postcard. In this case, it is recommended to use 3-4 models with different sizes. They should be placed close to each other.

A simple but stylish and beautiful option would be a black and white homemade postcard. Cardboard is also taken as a basis, preferably black. White material is glued to it, while its edges should be slightly smaller. After that, congratulations are written on the surface of the workpiece using a black felt-tip pen. To make the inscription as accurate as possible, you should use a suitable template. Then take the tape. It can be made from different materials, but it is worth picking up a sample in the same black and white scale.

A beautiful small bow is formed from the ribbon. It is fixed with an adhesive over the finished inscription. If necessary, the finished postcard is supplemented with other decorative details.

For a month of relationship, you can give a bright greeting card with hearts. In this case, the cardboard base can be of any color. Several small hearts are cut out of colored paper. It is better to make elements of different colors to make the product look more interesting. One bigger heart is cut out of shiny or corrugated paper, and at the end all these parts are glued to the outside in a chaotic manner.

The original card with balloons looks no less impressive. At the same time, several round bright cardboard blanks are cut out. They can be decorated with patterns made with paints or felt-tip pens. The rope is cut from the twine for the balloons. All this is attached to the cardboard base. At the bottom of the postcard, you can write a congratulation.
