Original birthday card
In order to please a person on his birthday, you can make a wonderful congratulation with your own hands in the form of a postcard, decorated with patterns made using the technique quilling. When making such a card, you can use rhinestones or sparkles as decoration. Working on creating this crafts may last about two weeks.
We will need the following materials and tools:
- Pencil and eraser;
- Glue and scissors;
- Tweezers;
- Whatman paper or a large long plastic sheet;
- White paper for quilling (you can take office paper);
- Rhinestones or sparkles;
- Scotch tape and (or) super glue;
- Pen with blue ink;
- Plastic empty CD box.
1. When starting work, you need to take whatman paper or a large sheet of plastic, if you don’t have whatman paper, and cut out an even square from it:
2. After this, we need to bend the sheet in half and make drawings (sketches) of future postcard patterns on it:
3. Now we need to take two or three sheets of white paper and carefully cut them into strips, which will then need to be rolled into round tube shapes:
4. The resulting figures need to be glued to the sheet.Here it will be convenient to use tweezers so that the glue does not stick to your hands:
5. In order to “highlight” a note on a future postcard, you can use gold-plated sparkles or rhinestones, which can be bought in a special store:
6. Next, we need to cut out two or three wide rectangular strips from paper and attach them to the bottom of the future card to connect both sides. They need to be connected because when a lot of paper figures are glued to both sides of the postcard, then under their weight the sheet will begin to sag and fall:
7. For each of the paper strips glued to the bottom, you need to measure the length and then peel them off:
8. Next, we take an empty plastic CD box and cut out two rectangular strips of the same length and width, after which they need to be coated with clear varnish or covered with tape. Here it is advisable to use metal scissors and, if the background on one side is not suitable, it can be hidden behind white paper:
9. The resulting strips need to be glued to the bottom of the card; You can use super glue or tape for this:
10. We decided to make the image of the heart from red rhinestone. This is how the front side of the postcard turned out:
The dark spots that formed after wiping it with a damp cloth disappeared from the surface of our plastic sheet:
11. On the reverse side, we first wanted to make a frame from large quilling figures, but then we decided that it would look neater and better if it was made from small ones. In the center of the sheet we wrote down a congratulatory text in poetic form, first planning to make it out of gilded sparkles:
12. But there were no glitter, and we decided to simply make it on paper with blue ink.We cut out four rectangular shapes from white paper (we need to make as many rectangular shapes as there are lines in our poem). On the bottom side of each of them you need to make a straight line with a ruler and pencil so that the text turns out evenly:
13. Now you need to turn the sheets over and write on the blank side. Here you can clearly see the line drawn on the reverse side. First we write with a pencil so that we can erase it if the text is uneven and write with a pen:
Next, having erased the text, we do it with a blue pen:
14. Now the sheets with text can be glued to the card and decorated:
You can decorate it in different ways, to suit your taste:
After the glue has dried, the postcard will be ready:
You can give it to your loved one for his birthday and it can decorate any room well:
