Today we will look at how to make an interesting postcard with a boat with our own hands and how to make an unusual composition for the holiday on February 23 on a plate.

In the first case, you first need to take one sheet of plain white paper and one sheet of blue corrugated cardboard. On the first basis, about 1 centimeter recede from the two edges, after which they draw marks with a simple pencil.

The white sheet is carefully folded in half. After that, a diagram of the future ship is drawn on it. You can find ready-made schemes on the Internet and transfer them yourself with a pencil to a white base.

Along the straight marked lines, the workpiece is cut and unfolded. The boat and the waves are straightened a little with your hands. After that, take the blue corrugated cardboard. The sheet is folded into 2 equal parts, and then one of the sides of the white blank is carefully coated with glue-stick and attached to the central part of the cardboard base.

Make sure that the blue edge is absolutely even when gluing. The second side is also coated with glue and a postcard is closed with it. You should put something heavy on top so that the whole composition can attach well.

After the glue mixture has dried, take the finished postcard and unfold it. Further, the final decorative elements are attached to the product. Several even circles are carefully cut out of blue colored paper and fixed on the boat.

You can also cut waves and clouds from the same colored paper. From a black paper base, several images should be made in the form of seagulls and an anchor. Using a yellow material, create a sun image. All this is glued to the postcard.

Thus, the inner body of the holiday card will be ready. The product is closed and the design of the outer side is started. A small star-shaped image is cut out of red paper and fixed on cardboard. You can also write the phrase "From February 23rd" on light-colored paper. Sometimes another small flat boat is placed outside.

Now let's look at how you can independently make a beautiful festive composition on a plate. To do this, first prepare a sheet of blue paper. Several small strips are cut out of it. Their size will depend on the overall dimensions of the product itself.

After that, a sheet of pink paper is taken. The boat itself is formed from it. To do this, you need to cut 2 parts from this base. One will be in the shape of a triangle, this part will act as the upper section. The second part should be in the shape of a quadrangle. To create a military model, you can use a light green material, which should then be decorated with additional elements from a red base.

Small images in the form of seagulls are formed from white paper. You can also make a small picture in the form of a flag. It should be painted using ordinary felt-tip pens. Next, all the blanks are glued to the plate. It is better to purchase a small blue plastic plate in advance.

First, blue waves are attached to the plastic base, and then everything else. At the end, you can attach the phrase "From February 23" cut out of paper to the boat. Such options will be the most suitable present for boys.

The boat itself, the flag, waves, seagulls are made of paper of different colors. All these details are neatly glued to a solid base - thus, the whole composition is formed. With a thin rod or paint, you can write a phrase with congratulations at the bottom of the picture.

Another interesting option would be a craft with a boat in the form of a picture. In this case, you can use a variety of materials.
