Making cards with children: a useful hobby for the whole family

Making a do-it-yourself postcard, just like, and, can be a great joint hobby for children and parents. Operations with small details for a postcard perfectly develop the motor skills of the kids' hands, train their attentiveness, and provide an opportunity to show talent.

To create postcards with your own hands, you need material that can be bought in bookstores, in the stationery departments. Paper rhinestones, stapler, glue, silicone pencil, quilling paper, corrugated cardboard and so on - all this will come in handy.

Also, do not throw away interesting things that are at home. For example, torn lace can be cut off and the whole part can be used to create a postcard, or old guipure gloves, unnecessary buttons, leather pieces of different colors, ribbons, braid, etc., are perfect for decorating the front volume of a postcard.

by the most important point is the choice of the basis of the postcard. It can be crafted in two ways: fast and thorough. A quick one is pasting with a hot iron, cling film and a colored cardboard napkin.

On the cardboard you need to put a piece of film, on top of the top layer of a napkin with a pattern and hold it with a hot iron. Trim the edges. Everything, the base is ready.

The front side of the postcard should contain a congratulatory designation: "Happy Birthday!", "Happy Fisherman's Day!", "Happy son's birth!" And so on.

To do this, use a flare, or a three-dimensional element is glued. Then the decoration itself. It can only be made of paper (quilling), you can add rhinestones and beads. Guipure, organza, knitted elements look very gentle. It all depends on the chosen direction of work.

The finished postcard can be sprinkled with sparkles or artificial dew can be applied to it, the droplets of which will play very beautifully in electric light. In addition, they can be colored.

Passion can turn into business

After making a lot of postcards, you can put up for sale a few of them. Many sites sell handicrafts online. For starters, you do not need to set very high prices for postcards. You can calculate the manufacturing costs and add 5% of the resulting amount to them as a bonus.
