Master class
Let's hold a master class on creating a postcard, and take as an example a postcard for the pope.
First, take a solid sheet of colored paper, then decide on the postcard format. In our case, this is a lilac-colored paper in A3 format. We fold the paper in half and carefully make a bending line, you can use an iron for this.
Then you can take a regular piece of white paper and cut out the insert on the front of the postcard. In size, the perimeter insert should be one centimeter smaller than the postcard page.
Next, you can make beautiful corners of the postcard with a decorative punch. If you do not have one, then you can cut the edges of the insert with scissors: an arc-shaped shape or another bizarre pattern.
Then the edges of the insert can be carefully treated with a stamp pad. After that, using an adhesive pencil or double-sided adhesive tape, paste the insert on the postcard.
Now do the tremble from the delay. To do this we will need a usual thin wire, which has a presentable appearance. Surplus wire must be cut.
Next, proceed to the tie. For this we need different decorated paper. From it you need to cut out the shape of ties, commensurate with the trempel. The upper part of the tie is carefully bent, thus fixing them on the trembler. On the back of the tie we glue the double-sided adhesive tape and fix the trembler with ties to the postcard.
Then, with the help of a marker, gel pen or carcass, you can put the words of congratulation or the one to whom it is meant. It is possible to write on the face of the postcard to whom it is intended, and inside - congratulation.
Everything, the card is ready!
