Before you start making the craft, you need to decide what exactly it will be made of. There are options from paper or cardboard. It is easier to work with paper, it cuts faster and lends itself better to glue. Cardboard, in turn, is stronger, and accordingly, it will delight the recipient of the gift for a longer time. Here is a list of materials and tools that you may need during labor:

• colored paper / cardboard;
• A4 white paper / cardboard;
• glue stick or PVA (which is more convenient for you to work with);
• napkin;
• scissors;
• corrugated paper;
• stickers or pictures for decoration;
• oilcloth for the table.

Let's consider several options for making a postcard in the form of a tie for February 23 with our own hands. Remember that it is not the result that matters so much as the love put into the work. Try to do everything neatly so that there is no excess glue anywhere and the parts are neatly cut.

This option is optimal for the older group of kindergarten. It is simple to implement and requires a minimum of materials. You will need:

• colored cardboard;
• scissors;
• corrugated paper;
• glue stick;
• pictures for decoration;
• simple pencil.

Draw a stenciled tie on the cardboard, outlining it with a simple pencil. Carefully cut out the card itself, and then along the contour - pictures that will act as decorations. These can be cars, airplanes, tanks, pistols and other purely male attributes. Stick the decor on the tie on one side, and on the other, draw something away from you. Cut out a small rectangle of corrugated paper (5 * 20 cm) and roll it into a tube, it will act as a braid. Glue the string to the top of the tie. The gift is ready.

Even children from the middle or junior kindergarten group can cope with this task. If the kids still do not know how to cut, it is better to provide them with ready-made tie details and circles for decoration. You will need:

• colored paper;
• glue;
• scissors.

Fold A4 colored paper in half and make a small notch along the top (about 4 cm). Form the collar by pulling the triangular edges outward. It turns out a shirt. Cut out a colored tie and tape it under your collar. Decorate your tie with circles, triangles, or other cut paper figures as decorations. The folded paper can be glued together, you get a present in the form of a souvenir, or you can draw a drawing for your dad inside and give a hand-made postcard.

A more complex option, optimal for primary school. There are a few small details that will have to be cut by hand. This gift is ideal for an employee who loves his uniform and bravely defends his homeland. You will need:

• green, red, yellow, black and white paper / cardboard;
• glue stick;
• scissors.

Lay a white A4 sheet vertically and make two horizontal cuts on the sides, not reaching the center, backing down 5 cm. Fold the strips towards the center and glue them, placing the edges together. Cut the tie out of black paper and glue it neatly to the collar. While the glue dries, you need to make a uniform. Lay the green A4 paper horizontally in front of you and fold the edges evenly towards the center. Fold the top outward to form a collar. Cut out round buttons and rectangular shoulder straps from yellow paper. Glue the decor to your chest and shoulders.Cut stars out of red paper and attach them to shoulder straps. Glue the shirt into the jacket, you get a ceremonial military uniform. On the inside of the jacket, you can write wishes and congratulations on Defender of the Fatherland Day.

Another simple option that every child can handle. You will need:

• cardboard;
• colour pencils;
• scissors.

Fold A4 cardboard in half and stencil a tie so that the side of the accessory is on the fold. Cut out the shape and decorate it with crayons or felt-tip pens. Inside, you can write your wishes or paste in a rhyme.
