Original postcard for March 8th

Nowadays the stores are full of postcards for any event, but the popularity of hand-made items does not cease to grow. Agree, it’s nice to receive a postcard on which the giver may have spent more than one hour creating it personally for you. Give a piece of spring warmth to your friends with such a homemade card.



1. To make such a postcard, you will need:
• 1 sheet each of white and colored high-density paper (I used watercolor paper and colored cardboard);
• Dress template (draw it yourself or print any suitable one);
• Glue, scissors;
• Ready-made or homemade stickers for congratulations;
• Ribbon, beads and glitter glue.



2. Fold the white paper in half and attach the template to it so that the dress straps are on the fold. Trace the template and cut it out (you need to cut both layers). Don't cut the straps! In this way you will receive a blank for the future postcard.
Cut out two dresses from colored paper using the same template, reduced by 2-3 mm. Glue them onto the white blank as shown in the photo below.



3. First glue the sticker onto the resulting workpiece. In our case, “Happy March 8!” You can also put a congratulations sticker inside. My handwriting is far from ideal, so I also printed out the congratulations.



4. Now you can start decorating. First glue the beads, then trace the outlines with glitter. Let the glue dry.



5. Glue a ribbon to the back of the card and tie it in a bow. Tie it carefully - the recipient should easily untie it and read your wish. So that the card can stand, do not tie it too tightly, leave a small gap.



Your original postcard for March 8 is ready! Now all that remains is to pack it in an original way present, and give it to your beloved friend, mother or grandmother!
