- Decide what the airplane will be like. For example, made in literally 10 minutes from ordinary colored paper using the origami technique. Or printed from the Internet and glued to a solid base for extra durability.
- Glue the airplane to the base on double-sided tape (possibly 2-3 pieces of adhesive tape glued to each other) so that the postcard takes on a three-dimensional look.
If you want to rely not on the complexity of the work, but on originality, you can cut an airplane (according to a template) from old or specially aged newspapers, book pages.

More ideas
But not always a gift is just a postcard. You can give a craft, which will also be made in the form of an airplane. It can be either an independent craft or a pendant, for example. Here are the best homemade airplane ideas for February 23rd.
- Origami... There are tons of options for using the famous paper technique. It is advisable to take high-quality paper for this purpose, double-sided, possibly textured. But at the same time, it should not leave creases when bent. Origami can be hung from a string or fishing line and attached to a chandelier, for example. Dad will wake up, and a festive airplane is already flying in his room. Very romantic even for "grown boys".
- From sweets. And here there are many options. Scotch tape (both regular and double-sided) will help. The main thing is that the assembled structure evokes unambiguous associations and does not disintegrate. And, of course, that it was dad's favorite sweets.
- From plasticine. You can, of course, mold a finished figurine (salty dough is also suitable), but now plasticine paintings are in trend. The more plasticine colors there are in the set, the more interesting the finished work will be. Usually thick cardboard becomes the basis.
Then the sketch is thought over, its contours are outlined with a pencil, and drawing with plasticine begins. The finished work can be framed.
- Made of wood... If you do not have any ideas and determination to do something step by step completely on your own, you can buy a ready-made set of wooden parts for assembly. You will get a nice wooden airplane of the correct shape. And then you can take gouache or acrylic paints and make it in color. You can also hang the craft.
- From a plastic bottle. There are many similar video tutorials on the Internet, but you can always modify them yourself. Do not forget that plastic lends itself well to staining, and such work takes on a more noble look.
- From clothespin and ice cream sticks. The option that was used as part of the postcard can also become an independent craft. It can be painted, artificially aged, covered with stain, varnish, toner. You can spray it with baby glitter hairspray. You will need a glue gun to glue the parts together.
The plane can be given a number (for example, associated with the age of the dad, his date of birth or apartment number).
- Corrugated paper. It creates the required volume by itself and does not require additional decoration.
- In the quilling technique. This is a very complex paper-plastic technique, but the finished openwork work is undoubtedly admirable. It is important to choose the right paper and tools for folding the strips. The colors of the paper should also match the holiday.
- From matches. This is almost a piece of jewelry, but that makes it even more interesting to tinker with such an airplane.
- With embroidery... The fabric is taken, on which it is convenient to embroider. Patterns are embroidered on it, which can become an airplane ornament. For example, there are famous planes with a recognizable cornflower on board. And this can become the theme of embroidery. Be sure to make 2 identical fragments. They are cut and glued to a sturdy cardboard base on both sides.
The figurine itself is hung on a string. It can be used as a key fob in a car.
- Made of plastic lids and ice cream sticks. Subsequently, the finished airplane can be coated with gold or silver paint to hide the heterogeneity of the materials used.
- From long lollipops ("sticks")... It is made according to the principle of a New Year's sled from the same candy canes. For a bunch of parts, you may need thin satin ribbons, decorative cords, braid.
If all this seems complicated, you can try to do something according to the model, completely copy ready-made successful examples. This is the easiest way.
