Unusually shaped cards for men

Oh, and it’s not an easy task for women when they are going to congratulate men on the holiday. And it doesn’t even matter what holiday it is, and how you have to prepare for it, the result remains the same, it’s hard to decide on a gift. After all, you always want to be a very original person and give true pleasure with your gift. What do men mostly get as gifts? They can give you money, or a bottle of your favorite collectible skate, or it can also be some very rare and rare item from any men’s collection, or perfume, etc. It seems that, at first glance, there is a choice of gifts, but it is still very difficult to decide. But still, any souvenir must be complemented by a postcard with wishes. Moreover, you can show all your imagination and creativity with the help of a handmade postcard.

Let’s not wait long, but right now we’ll start making very interesting, and most importantly, truly masculine postcards in the form of shirts. For the master class we take:
• On a sheet of blue and brown leather-look cardboard, A4 format;
• Scrappaper in dark masculine colors;
• Template for vest and shirt;
• Satin dove and beige ribbons 5 cm wide;
• Milky and light green cardboard;
• Metal watch pendants;
• Metal brads;
• Stamped inscriptions “Happy Birthday”;
• Acrylic buttons, 3 pieces each, light green and blue;
• Adhesive with adhesive tape effect;
• Scissors, glue gun, ruler, pencil.

The principle of creating such postcards is to make jackets with matching shirts, as if they were living silhouettes of men. Our jackets will be blue and brown, shirts will be milky and light green, and ties will be blue and beige. We measure rectangles for shirts 14.5 by 19 cm.

As in the diagram, we make cuts on the sides and fold the collars. You need to cut out a vest from scrap paper according to the pattern.

We glue the vests onto the shirts. The interior of our composition is ready, we sew the vests on a machine, except for the necks.

Now we need to prepare jackets from cardboard. We make the height of the jackets 19 cm, retreat 7.5 cm on the sides and draw bend lines.

We also need to draw bend lines for the jacket, as in the photo.

We turn up the collar of the jacket.

We insert the shirt with the vest inside, do the same with the blue jacket.

We glue the inscription “Happy Birthday” on the front of the jacket, and sew the edges of the jacket on the front. Now we cut out two squares of 14 by 14 cm from scrap paper; if you have a hole punch, then we make them curly along one edge.

We also make two leaves for congratulations, 10.5 by 15 cm, glue them at the top, also according to the inscription, and sew them on. Now we glue the pockets on the back of the jackets.

We sew the pockets on the back, put in the inscriptions, and now we glue the shirts and vests into our jackets with glue and tie the ties. In front of the pockets we insert a watch into the brads.
