How to make a postcard as a gift with your own hands?

Many of us strive to give beautiful cards to our family and friends. Of course, you can buy them in stores, but you can make them yourself.
Today we will consider a master class dedicated to making such a postcard.
So, for work you should prepare: cardboard, white fabric, threads of different colors, different buttons, Moment glue, yarn.
The work will take about 8 hours. But what colossal pleasure you will get in the process!
So, let's look at all the steps one by one.

Step one. Flowers

Before we make the card itself, we need to make cute flowers out of yarn that will become its decoration. To do this, we take yarn and make a pom-pom from it. This is the bud of our future flower.


Then we take out a small piece of copper or aluminum wire and wrap it with green thread.

Now we sew the stem to the bud itself, we can admire the finished flower.

Then we make two more such flowers.

That's all - our flowers are ready.

Step two. "Body" of the postcard

Then we need to take a piece of cardboard and cut it to the size that is needed. Also cut a piece of fabric to the desired size.

Now that the fabric is cut out, you need to embroider any inscription on the front of the cover. We embroidered the words “Congratulations!” with red thread. However, the inscription can be anything.

After the inscription is ready, glue the fabric to the cardboard with tape.

Next, we begin to work with another part of the fabric. On it we will embroider whatever our heart desires. We will embroider a tree of love, the sun, clouds, grass, etc. But let's start with the very outline of the tree. We embroider it with brown threads; you can use either wool yarn or regular embroidery threads. Next we embroider the sun itself, its rays and clouds with grass.



Then we take buttons of all colors and begin to sew them to the fabric. It turns out to be a pretty nice tree of love, glue a bird button to it. We make clouds from threads, glue flowers, butterflies, and ladybugs.

Step three. Latest decorations

Now we return to the part of the card where the words “Congratulations!” were written. Using buttons we decorate this part. You can use any buttons: in the form of flowers, hearts, houses, etc.

Now it's time to attach the flowers to the card itself. They need to be attached using tapes or any other holding devices.

Now we need to make the edges of our card beautiful; to do this, we knit a column of air loops and sew the resulting thread to the ends of the card.
We do the same on the other side of our postcard.


Now our card is ready. That's how cute she turned out.

And this is what it looks like inside. This is the rear view.
