Birthday Paper Crafts

Making gifts with your own hands is great. The things that we do ourselves keep our warmth and kind thoughts about our loved ones. What can be made of birthday paper for dad and grandmother, mom and grandfather, sister and brother, you will learn from this article.

A beautiful postcard always brings joy to the addressee. Even if you are not a great paper craftsman, you can create a stylish and creative Tuxedo card as a birthday present.

For work you will need:

• 2 sheets of A4 black and white designer cardboard (you can replace cardboard with paper for art pastels);
• satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide and 40 cm long;
• 3 small red buttons;
• metal ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors and a stationery knife.

First we do the tuxedo.

1. Divide a sheet of black paper into 3 parts. The middle part is the back of our tuxedo, it will be the widest - 12.5 cm. The two remaining parts - jacket shelves - 8.5 cm each. When finished, the shelves overlap.
2. We outline the fold lines of the parts with a pencil on the cardboard.
3. To bend the cardboard, carefully draw along the ruler in place of the marked lines with the back of a clerical knife or scissors.
4. Using a ruler, carefully bend our shelves. They are ready.
5. To make the lapels, we step back at the top of each shelf from the edge to the middle 4 cm, and put a mark. From this place we lay 10 cm down along the edge of the sash.
6. We connect the points with a segment, again with the help of a ruler and scissors we push through the fold line, trying not to tear the cardboard.
7. Bend the resulting triangle lapel outward. The stylish tuxedo is ready.

Then we make a shirt and a tie.

1. The inside of the postcard is a light shirt and a bright tie. We will write good wishes for dad on the shirt.
2. Set aside on the sheet two widths of the back - 15 cm, and cut off the excess cardboard using a clerical knife and a ruler. We bend the resulting sheet in half.
3. We make a shirt collar. Find the middle of the upper part of the postcard, and put a point with a pencil.
4. Set aside 2 cm on both sides of the mark, and measure 2 cm down from it.
5. We connect the resulting points with lines. It turns out 2 triangles with a common side.
6. We make a neat cut along the common side of the figures with scissors.
7. We bend our triangles along the drawn line. The collar is ready.

We decorate the postcard. We make a butterfly, decorate the collar with it.

• Insert the shirt into the tuxedo, add accessories.
• Create a pocket. Cut out a 1x4 cm strip of paper, glue a triangle made of red tape to its wrong side.
• We glue the pocket and buttons on the right front of the tuxedo.
