Postcard with voluminous roses in a wicker basket

If you love roses, then this master class will definitely interest you. He will teach you how to create an original card with a wicker basket and voluminous miniature roses.

Before you begin, you need to collect the following set of materials and tools:

• scissors;
  
• colored double-sided paper;
  
• plain colored paper;
  
• ruler;
  
• sheet of cardboard;
  
• simple pencil;
  
• tube with PVA glue.

So, first you will learn how to make a wicker basket from ordinary colored paper.
In the set, find sheets of brown shades, preferably 2-3 tones (darker and lighter).

On the white side of the sheets, draw strips 5 mm thick under the ruler with a simple pencil.

Cut all three leaves into thin strips.

Now start weaving from paper blanks. Take white paper, apply a horizontal strip of glue on top and glue 35 strips vertically, alternating light and dark shades of brown.
Then, in a checkerboard pattern, weave the loose strips between the glued ones. You will gradually end up with a canvas with small squares.

For the bottom of the basket you need a wicker about 10 cm wide, and for the handle you should get two strips measuring 3 cm by 10 cm. Don't forget to glue the wicker fabric onto a sheet of white paper.

Next you will need a basket stencil. Draw her silhouette on a piece of paper or print an image from the Internet.

Using the stencil, cut out the bottom of the basket and individual ovals to make a handle.

Make the base of the card. Take a sheet of cardboard, round its corners and cover it with colored paper of any shade. A yellow background will look good.

Fix the parts of the basket on the base: first the wicker bottom, and then the handle.

The basket is still undecorated, but it already looks nice.

Now start making roses from double-sided colored paper.
For one rose you need a long strip of paper 15 mm wide.

Fold the upper left edge of the paper blank as shown in the photo.

Then fold it outward again. A triangle emerges.

Next you need to bend the strip itself so as to capture the upper corner.

Twist the strip around the triangle until a small corner remains on top.

Fold the strip again.

And continue twisting it around the triangle.

Gradually, your rosebud petals will form.

This is what the finished flower looks like.

Glue the edge of the paper and the triangle on which the spirals were wound so that the layers do not unwind.

Make more roses in pink, yellow, orange and lilac.

Glue the finished lush buds onto the postcard. Place the flowers between the basket itself and its handle.

The only thing missing is leaves. Cut them out of double-sided green paper and fold them in half to make an accordion shape. You will get voluminous leaves.

Glue them between the flowers.

It turns out to be a stunningly beautiful card with a wicker basket and miniature multi-colored roses.

A great souvenir for a colleague or friend for any summer holiday.
