Making a postcard with a butterfly, a symbol of spring and rebirth, with your own hands is very simple.

First way. Draw a butterfly on paper, color it and cut it out. Fold it in the middle and glue it to the cardboard.

The second version of a postcard with a butterfly for March 8th. We trace the children's palms on paper, cut out the resulting shapes - these will be the wings of a butterfly. Then all that remains is to draw and cut out the body, head, and glue all the parts.

We are sure that you will have enough inspiration to improve these cards for mom on March 8th by adding something of your own.

March 8 is the main women's holiday. On this day, everyone will give mothers, grandmothers, sisters and friends cute gifts, crafts and, of course, postcards made of paper and cardboard, made with their own hands in kindergarten, school or at home. Look at what options for postcards are on our website, these are master classes from needlewomen and photographs sent by our readers to, including in 2019.

Master class by Zabava Polezhaeva. First we need to prepare the base for the postcard. To do this, cut out a rectangle from thick beige paper with a white pattern. From thinner paper, also beige, cut several strips 3 cm wide. Glue them together into one long strip. Then, using a figured hole punch, we decorate one longitudinal edge of the resulting strip with an openwork pattern. Then we paste this tape around the perimeter of the card. To contrast between the background of the card and the decorative paper braid, we will glue narrow strips of red paper - an impromptu ribbon.

While the base of the card dries, we will prepare the elements of the future decor. Let's prepare several cylindrical parts - these will be the centers of the flowers. They can be red, yellow or orange.

Cut paper of orange, yellow and pink colors into short pieces - 5-7 cm long. Let's cut them on one long side - you'll get a kind of fringe. Glue the resulting blanks around the centers of the flowers, and when the flowers dry, fluff their petals. In addition to flowers with centers, you also need to make several thinner flowers without centers, only from blanks with a fringed edge.

Using a simple device - markings on thick cardboard and pins - you need to prepare several leaves of green quilling paper.

There should be several leaves, of different sizes and possibly different shades.

When some of the elements have already been prepared, you can begin to design the postcard. To begin, draw a large number 8 in the central part of the card with a simple pencil. Glue the prepared flowers in the upper right and lower left parts. Chrysanthemums with centers - along the contour of the number, and without centers - around the last ones. After the flowers are glued, we complement the lower part of the figure eight with curved leaves, and the upper part with green paper outlines.

As an additional decoration for the postcard, you can use beads, as well as shaped elements made from red cardboard using a shaped hole punch.

Let's complement the card with green beads, as well as contrasting paper elements.

From light green paper we will make several small (no more than 1 cm long) leaves, as well as curls, with which we will complement the postcard. You can also introduce a few curls of white paper. This will add airiness and tenderness to the work. In some places, pearl beads can be glued into the middle of the curls.

Using a thin simple pencil, write the words “C” and “March!” at the top left and bottom right of the postcard, so that the end result on the postcard reads “Happy March 8!”

Use dark green quilling paper to write the lettering on the card. You can also glue multi-colored butterflies, and don’t forget to glue a cute bow made of burgundy paper in the upper left corner of our card.

The postcard for March 8 is ready!

Interesting cards for mom can be made using threads, if the kindergarten teacher helps you cut out the desired template:

“To my beloved mother.” Boginskaya Polina.
Greeting card. A4 format, the background is made with wax crayons, flowers are made of foamiran, stems and leaves are made of napkins using a twisting method. Number made of colored cardboard and thread.

You can make an original children's card using multi-colored and openwork napkins:

“Bouquet for Mom.” Peskov Timofey.

The work is made of salt dough, colored paper, and a yogurt bottle. First we form flowers. We wait for the dough to dry and paint with gouache paints. Glue half a yogurt bottle onto colored cardboard and color it first. We arrange our flowers, add leaves cut from colored paper. Our card for mom is ready!

“Volume postcard for March 8 from foamiran.” Sycheva Polina, Storchak Marina.
Postcards for March 8 are modeled from foamiran, cardboard, ribbon, and rhinestones. For flowers, strips are cut and twisted into a bud. Then the postcard itself is modeled.

The applique is made of colored paper, cotton pads and cotton swabs. Cut a cotton swab in half and paint it yellow. When it dries, insert it into the middle of a rolled-up cotton pad. This is a calla flower. We cut out elongated leaves and stems from colored paper. We form a bouquet and paste it onto a cardboard base. Spring bouquet for mom is ready!

Another version of a simple, but very dear to the heart of every mother, a postcard - from the palm of her beloved son or daughter.

“Postcard from March 8th.” Filoretov Kirill.
On white cardboard folded in half, trace the child’s hand and carefully cut it out. The applique was made using colored and velvet paper.

For a friend, you can make a card not with flowers, but, for example, with dresses (see the master classes below).

An interesting alternative to postcards for March 8 could be the “Merry Chocolate Girls” option. Solovyova Lyudmila.
This is a chocolate bar packaged in festive packaging. The packaging is made of colored cardboard, the drawings are printed on a color printer.

Postcards made of plasticine

To make a beautiful and original card from plasticine, you need very little material, but the craft will be amazing if you put in a little diligence and effort. For example, using these, you will get the most beautiful postcards.

Cards in the shape of a heart

On this spring holiday, the main gift is flowers, and the symbol of love is a heart, so postcards from March 8th in the shape of a heart with flowers are the warmest and most sincere gift.

To make a postcard using the technique, you will need strips of double-sided colored paper and a tool (you can also use a thin knitting needle), and then everything depends on your imagination; for inspiration, you can watch master classes using these photos:

You can make an original postcard for your mother or grandmother by March 8; the highlight of this gift will be a hand-embroidered picture. Your family will be very touched by your care and will appreciate your skills. Especially if they taught you how to embroider.

Volume cards for March 8

And in this master class we will make a simple postcard for March 8 from colored paper. You can do it with your children. A postcard from March 8 is made from colored paper very quickly. But it turns out bright and beautiful.

To make a postcard we will need:

• Colored paper;
• White cardboard;
• Glue;
• Scissors;
• Ruler.

Let's start with the basics. Take white cardboard and bend the A4 piece of paper in half. To prevent the card from being too tall, you can trim it a little.
Now we need to cut 15 red stripes. We cut strips approximately 5-7 mm wide and 4 cm long. Instead of red paper, you can use any other bright and rich color. It is advisable that the paper be double-sided.
Next, you need to glue a petal from each strip. Fold the strip into a loop and glue it at the bottom. It turns out to be a petal. We do all this with the rest of the strips. Glue can be used with a pencil or PVA. But the fastest way to work is with hot glue. And it holds the parts together more reliably.

Then we will collect the flower. There will be 3 flowers in total on the card. And each has 5 petals. Glue the first flower to the card. First we glue 2 petals, then add 3 more. It turns out like this flower.

After this we glue 2 more flowers. The middle flower can be placed slightly higher than the others. This way the bouquet will look much better.

Now let's make the core. We will make it from yellow paper. But you can also take white paper.
Cut a strip 5-6 cm long and 5 mm wide. Then we will make frequent cuts along this strip. And with the help of scissors we bend the resulting cuts back a little.

We twist the middle so that the cloves point to the sides. And secure it with glue.

Glue the hearts to the flowers. And take the green paper. We cut out thin stems for the flowers. And we also glue them to the postcard. So we formed a small bouquet of paper flowers.

Now we will make 3 leaves. Fold the green paper. The fold is the middle of the leaf. Cut out the leaf. It should be slightly elongated.
Glue a couple of leaves at the bottom of the flowers and somewhere at the top. You can make more leaves.

Very voluminous cards can be made with such corrugated paper bouquets will take more time, but the result is worth it!

The following will help you make such beautiful cards:

What is a cocktail party?
This is a fun party for friends or colleagues on a special occasion or for no reason at all! Such a party can be bright, explosive and juicy!
But a cocktail dress should be original and stylish.

Today we will make a cocktail dress using the origami technique and decorate a postcard with it for March 8th.

Show master class

Here are the materials we will need for work:

• base for a postcard or a sheet of light-colored cardboard;
• brightly colored colored paper;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• glue;
• decorative ribbon for decoration.

First, we will make a blank for the dress from colored paper. To do this, use a pencil and a ruler to draw and then carefully cut out a 10*10 cm square.
Now carefully bend the resulting square in half and in half again.

Next we make folds on each side. To do this, you need to fold the square along the central fold twice, first inward, then outward, as in the photo.

Now we fold the workpiece as shown in the photo.

To make the dress fluffy, you need to push the outer corners to the sides, carefully making small folds in the area of ​​the central transverse fold.

To design the neck line, mark 1/3 from the top point to the middle. Let's make a fold.

Then we turn the resulting fold back and form the corners, as shown in the photo.

Now you need to carefully bend the corners down.

Then you should turn the resulting corners up and turn the workpiece over.

Carefully bend the resulting corner to the wrong side, as shown in the photo.

Now you need to mark the waist line. To do this, you need to make an accordion fold in the middle.

In order for the dress to be fitted, you need to carefully bend 0.2-0.4 mm on the wrong side, as shown in the photo. Particular attention should be paid to the angles around the waist.

Let's turn the workpiece over and make a bow on the upper part of the bodice.
To do this, we will rotate the small corners by 45 * and unfold the resulting diamonds so that we get the petals of a bow.

The dress is ready!
All that remains is to design the front part of the card. To do this, we will use decorative tape. Cut the required amount of tape from it and glue it to one side of the card.
We prepare a congratulation and glue it. We position the dress and fix it with glue.

A bright dress for a party is ready!
This card will be a wonderful holiday gift.
Any woman will be pleased to receive such a congratulation!
We wish you success!

Master class “Blue dress” (postcard, origami)

I suggest using this wonderful dress as the basis for a greeting card. The card can be universal: Happy March 8, for mom, or just Happy Birthday. But the fact that it is intended for a girl or woman will be immediately obvious!

To make such a postcard with your own hands, we will need the following materials:

• blue cardboard or card base;
• blue and cyan colored paper;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• decorative tape; glue.

Show master class

Our dress will consist of two parts: a bodice and a skirt.

1. For the bodice we need to cut out a blue square with a side of 6-7 cm.
First you need to carefully mark, using a ruler and pencil, the middle of the square (vertical line). Now you need to fold each side of the square towards the middle. Let's look at the photo.

2. Then fold the resulting rectangle in half.

3. Now we make sleeves on the bodice. To do this, bend the corners to the sides, as shown in the photo.

4. Turn the workpiece over and fold it in half again.

5. You should get a bodice detail like this. If you are doing this with a child, you can leave the bodice like this.

6. But you can improve this element - outline the waist. To do this, you need to turn the workpiece over and bend the corners from the shoulder to the center, at a distance of 0.5-0.6 mm, as shown in the photo.

International Women's Day is one of the brightest holidays: on this day we strive to please our beloved women with attention and care, arrange surprises and give gifts. And it’s hard to find a more touching gift than a card made by the loving hands of a child. On the eve of March 8, we have collected all kinds of postcard options that a child can handle on his own or with the participation of adults.

Children are little creators. Even for a two-year-old child, creating a postcard will be an extremely exciting and useful activity. At the ages of 2 to 4 years, it is safest and easiest for children to work with paints, so in kindergarten on March 8 they usually draw pictures.

It’s not easy for kids to handle brushes and colored pencils, but creativity gives free rein to imagination: you can draw with cotton swabs, crumpled paper, or just with your hands.

For example, to create a card with peonies, you only need two sheets of paper, a saucer, water and paints. Pour some water into the container and add the desired paint. On a thick sheet of paper we draw stems and leaves with a finger or a brush. Then we crumple the second sheet, dip it in a saucer and leave marks on the paper, forming a flower. And now, a bouquet of peonies is ready.

Or you can make a bouquet of bright handprints.

Very beautiful drawings are obtained if you draw using the poking method with cotton swabs. Sticks can be collected into bunches, tied with a rubber band or tape, dipped in paint and left behind, looking like small inflorescences. In this way you can depict mimosa, wildflowers, cherry or lilac branches.

Applications for March 8th in kindergarten, step-by-step application postcard.

In the senior group of kindergarten, a child can make an appliqué postcard. In your work you can use colored paper, plasticine, scraps of fabric, buttons, ribbons, straw, cereals, eggshells, cotton wool and many others.

The applique “Vase with voluminous flowers” ​​turns out very beautiful. Using the descriptions and templates provided below, you can create a unique postcard to suit your taste.

We will need: colored cardboard for the background, colored paper, glue, scissors, beads, satin ribbon or other decorations.

We make five templates of different sizes from hard cardboard. You can choose ready-made vase and flower templates at the end of this MK or draw them yourself. Next, select a sheet of colored paper, outline the blanks and cut them out. We should have five different blanks for one flower.

Now we need to carefully bend the petals to the center.

Then we open the petals, forming cups.

We assemble the flower: we coat the blanks with glue and put the smaller cup into the larger one. In this case, the petals should be positioned asymmetrically in relation to each other so that the flower looks more realistic.

We collect the remaining flowers. Then we cut out a vase from paper of a different color and begin to build the composition. It’s better not to rush and first place all the elements on a background sheet of cardboard without glue. After we determine the location of each flower, we can glue, starting with the vase. If desired, the vase can be decorated with a satin ribbon or a mosaic of colored paper, and beads of the same tone can be glued into the flower cups. And now we have a cute applique card.

You can use templates with a different number of petals and vase shape.

Postcards for March 8th in elementary school, step-by-step do-it-yourself drawing, master class.

The most common option among children's cards is still a picture postcard. And this is fair: they do not require special materials to create, they are simpler to design and, in their own way, charming.

To create such a postcard we will need: paper, watercolor paints, brush, scissors. It is better to use thick watercolor paper or whatman paper.

Fold the sheet in half and begin drawing blades of grass with light lines. Closer to the edge we draw flowers, in our case, these are cornflowers, but you can choose other field plants, for example, poppies.

We also draw grass inside, and then cut the edge on the front side with a smooth line, repeating the outlines of the flowers. And so, we have an unusual and very tender card.

Three-dimensional postcard for March 8, master class

A voluminous card for March 8 is a cute gift that you can easily make with your own hands. We invite you to make a cute three-dimensional postcard “Blooming Tree”.

We will need: a thick sheet of colored double-sided A4 paper, colored paper, pencil, glue, scissors.

Print out the tree and petals template. We choose the colors of paper for the crown; it is desirable that we get 3-4 shades that are in harmony with each other. Let's start drawing the petals: bend a sheet of colored paper and apply the template with a dotted line to the fold, trace and cut out. Thus, we need to prepare a large number of blanks (7-8 petals per flower + petals for decoration). We cut out a tree trunk from a brown leaf. We fold the base sheet in half, glue the tree trunk in the center of the sheet and begin to form the crown, without glue yet.

After we have a harmonious composition in front of us, we begin to glue the petals to the lower part. The card is ready, in addition you can darken the flower cores with pencils to match, mark the bark on the tree with a black pen, write wishes on the inside of the petals or add other touches to your taste.

A postcard created by yourself is the warmth of your hands, care and attention embodied on paper. Don’t worry if something comes out a little crooked, the main thing in such a gift is your time and effort. Approach the creation process with imagination, imagine how happy they will be with your gift, and don’t be afraid to create: remember that in your head there is a wonderful world and the right, sincere words.

Very soon the spring sun will warm us and we will meet a very long-awaited day for all women. It appears on the calendar under the date March 8th.

On this day, all ladies are given gifts, flowers and congratulations. Therefore, let's start preparing for it in advance. And we will look at this holiday from the perspective of kindergarten and school, because creating a gift card is definitely included in the program.

I also remember these creativity lessons very well, only at that time we created during the lessons themselves, but now such crafts are assigned as homework. So I picked up some cute ideas and collected them in one place. Let's get creative.

First of all, children rush to congratulate their mothers and grandmothers. Therefore, I want to put all my warmth and love into these creations.

I really liked the works that little children from 4 years old can repeat.

Available materials are used: pasta, buttons and paper flowers.

It is recommended to glue them with PVA glue, because it is considered the most harmless.

Children at this age cannot yet cut out small figures evenly, following the outline, so prepare the figured parts in advance.

Or this version of a very cute postcard.

It's very easy to do. You need to take several multi-colored sheets of cardboard.

Fold the main one in half and place the fold up.

For flowers we will need: 3 circles of different colors, with a diameter of 3 cm, 3 multi-colored circles with a diameter of 2 centimeters and three circles with a diameter of 1 centimeter.

We cut out a rectangle from cardboard, make allowances of 0.5 cm along three edges. We bend them and grease them with glue. This creates a pocket where we will insert flower buds.

All that remains is to cut the stems, 3 centimeters long and 50 millimeters wide.

We glue the circles on top of each other in descending order.

The kids will definitely love this craft.

Check out another cute idea with voluminous flowers.

Flowers are drawn on cardboard with a pencil, then they are carefully cut out along the contour and folded.

To make a stronger contrast of daisies, you need to stick a square of colored paper behind each flower on the wrong side.

The wrong side with a ready-made design will look neater if you cover it with a sheet of paper.

How to make a postcard from paper and cardboard

In order for the card to hold its shape well, it is necessary to use a sheet of cardboard for its base. You can purchase two-color, velvet, or textured sheets. There is a huge selection in office supply stores.

I suggest making a cute greeting where you need to carefully cut out the ornament with a stationery knife.

For convenience, there is already a template that can be printed or translated from the monitor screen by attaching a white sheet of paper.

We transfer our lines to the wrong side of the card and begin to cut out with a blade or knife.

This card is already suitable for children in grade 1 and older. Of course, under the watchful supervision of the parent so that the child does not cut himself.

Flowers are cut out of paper. You can smooth them a little with your fingers so that the petals bend.

Also pay attention to this cute applique. Textured cardboard was used for the vase.

Let's look at the order in which the colors are made.

For them, it is better to use colored thick double-sided paper.

Using this template we cut out flowers.

Now we take a ruler and begin to tuck each petal.

It will turn out like this.

We connect the finished levels.

Here is the vase template.

Cut it out and paste it onto the base. All that remains is to beautifully arrange the finished buds and glue ribbons in places where there are voids.

The idea of ​​alternating leaves is interesting.

Hearts of different sizes are cut out and folded in half.

Very simple, but tasteful. Thoughtful card design for mom.

Or this option is laconic in shape and color scheme.

Also, if you are good at cutting out cardboard, try making a similar applique.

The image of flowers and birds always reminds of spring.

Stencils and patterns for congratulations

I know that sometimes it’s difficult to come up with a whole design for a card on your own. Therefore, I thank the people who took care of you and me and posted the results of their work online.

We will be happy to use their design idea, especially since many postcards have diagrams and templates.

There is also a template for these options.

They look from the inside like in the picture.

The scheme itself.

There is also a diagram for such petals.

Very painstaking work. The diagrams for it are on two sheets.

Base for flowers and pot.

Two sizes of greenery for the background.

I think you can find something suitable for yourself.

Original ideas for congratulations from napkins in the form of a dress

Initially, I wanted to write about how to make flowers out of napkins, but when I saw these cards, I just couldn’t resist.

Here we will make a dress from napkins, which are served along with sweet pastries and candies. They are sold in any supermarket. If you don’t find it, you can use absolutely any paper napkin. Only by giving it the shape of a circle in advance.

So, this is what this dress looks like as a result of the creation of craftswomen.

We begin the process of making it. First, let's make a circle, just above the middle.

Fold one edge to the right so that the side folds meet.

Then we cut off the top. Our dress will be cut at the waistline.

Cut out the heart so that its lower part fits into the slit of the dress.

Give the heart a corset shape by removing the rounded sides. Glue both parts together and decorate.

Various beads, rhinestones and ribbons are suitable for decoration.

Such a dress will become the center of the composition; it is better to attach it not directly, but at a slight angle to the sides of the base.

You can fold several layers of napkins to get the effect of petticoats.

Master class of unusually shaped postcards for March 8

I really liked the idea of ​​a hand shaped card. She brings some special warmth and goodwill.

You can glue butterflies, hearts or flowers inside.

We need to take double-sided cardboard and fold it in half.
To give the shape, the child must circle his palm so that the edge of the hand falls on the fold of the cardboard.

You can also round the base of a regular rectangular shape at the ends. This way any design will look more delicate and lighter.

I was impressed by the idea of ​​wooden cards. I think that the craftswoman who came up with such a design is simply brilliant. The appearance of the congratulations is very impressive.

Of course, you and I will not rush to learn laser cutting skills right now.

After all, we remember that behind every design there is a great sketch. Therefore, we take this idea into service and replace the wood with thick cardboard.

How to draw a postcard with watercolors

You can remember the technique of drawing with paints on wet paper from kindergarten. So the lines become fuzzy and gradually turn into a gradient from the dark center to the light edges. What if you start using this technique for the background of a postcard?

For example, we cover the edges with masking tape to get an even frame. Wet the entire surface of the sheet with a brush and carefully draw several watercolor stripes.

Of course, you need to choose delicate shades of pink or joyful orange and yellow.

Leave until completely dry. Then peel off the tape and draw a balloon or dandelion on the background with a black thin marker.

To get an even more interesting effect, use a sewing machine and sew your design onto a cardboard base.

Postcard ideas using scrapbooking technique

The scrapbooking technique deserves a whole section, so I’ll just show you the design option that impressed me incredibly.

This composition seemed very plausible to me.

The lower leaves can be folded using one of the quilling techniques.

Masterpieces are also obtained using different textures and artificial colors.

It would seem, what to choose? The eighth day of March in our country is a women's holiday, which means we need something pleasant for women. And here there is room for thought, because the theme for the postcard can be:

• flowers (bouquets and individual flowers);
• plant motifs (leaves, twigs, blades of grass and other flora);
• beautiful abstraction (spots, splashes, curls and doodles);
• family motifs (stylized depiction of the whole family, the relationship between mother and child);
• motherhood (happy mother in different life or comical situations);
• femininity (any images associated with femininity - self-care, outfits);
• culinary themes (charming confectionery products can lift the spirits of many women);
• animals.

My daughter also suggested using all kinds of insects as a theme for the cards, but, in my opinion, it could be either butterflies or dragonflies - all other insects do not seem attractive to me.

Choosing a work technique

To understand how to do it, you first need to figure out what techniques are available to you and what you can work with. It can be:

• painting and graphics;
• applique;
• scrapbooking;
• origami;
• decoupage;
• embroidery.

As backup options, you can also use beadwork and knitting, but such cards turn out to be too bulky and labor-intensive.

Different topics and different techniques

Several examples of postcards with different themes, made in different techniques, with a brief description of the work.

Graphics and flowers

The simplest combination, making such a postcard is very easy. Draw flowers in any technique you like - watercolors, alcohol markers or even gel pens, fold the sheet in half and decorate the drawing a little by adding small details - for example, glitter gel pens.

Or cut out several circles of different diameters from multi-colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist them into buds, you will get cute little flowers with which you can decorate a card.

Another option for a postcard:

You will also need to sign the postcard - you can try to draw a beautiful inscription with your own hands, using the technique of fake calligraphy, or you can simply print out the inscription you like from the Internet.

Options for printable phrases from the site:

Floral motifs and quilling

Quilling is the ideal technique if you want to create voluminous and original beautiful cards for March 8th. To work, you will need a sketch or a master class, a piece of thick paper for a postcard (for example, colored cardboard) and strips of colored paper for quilling.

You need to lay out a drawing from the stripes according to the sketch, gluing it in such a way that it holds its shape well. Or take advantage of the master class and follow its recommendations. Such cards turn out very impressive and beautiful.

If you want to get a voluminous, beautiful hand-made postcard for March 8th, then it makes sense to make all the elements using the quilling technique separately, and then assemble them on a blank - this way you can work out the composition and come up with your own style.

Abstraction in any technique

This is a fairly simple way to make beautiful cards in just a few minutes, especially if you have minimal skill in working with paints and understand how to mix colors on a sheet so as to get beautiful stains and not dirt on the sheet.

You can try the marbling or suminagashi technique - special paints are dropped onto the water, and the stains are “removed” onto the paper by dipping. This technique allows you to imitate marble - I think you will get beautiful abstract greeting cards.

You can try using monotype - to do this, apply a few drops of liquid watercolor to any smooth and non-absorbent surface, attach a sheet of paper and remove - you will get a beautiful print that can be used as a background for a postcard.

Marbling, like monotype, is a very easy way to make a beautiful background, and a home-made background can be decorated with a ready-made inscription (for example, printed from the Internet).

Scrapbooking and femininity

Working in the scrapbooking technique is interesting and quite simple, but you will need to visit a craft store to buy materials for work - cuttings, chipboards, beautiful tapes, interesting pastes for texturing and all kinds of glitters.

Choose an image for your card - for example, a dress and lace. This is not a very complicated image that even a child can embody. So, you need to choose a background for the card, cut it out and glue it to the base.

Then make the central element - the dress. The upper part is simply cut out of paper, the lower part is best folded into a fan to give a little volume. Glue a piece of lace and some small symbol onto the background - it could be the number eight, a flower, a bird or a butterfly, and then install the central element, and your card is ready.

Origami and animals

It is very easy to learn how to fold origami, and a voluminous postcard decorated with origami looks interesting. Try to make a cute little fox, cat or bird.

To make a postcard you will need origami paper (can be replaced with ordinary colored double-sided paper), a base for the postcard and decor of your choice. If you want the card to be elegant, then you can use sparkles, foil patterns and stars.

And if you like minimalism, then a plain background and a bright paper animal are a great choice!

Culinary theme in different techniques

If you want to make a card in a culinary style, then you can take different motifs - a jar of jam, a beautiful cupcake or just a cup of coffee. This greeting card will be cozy and charming.

Now you know how you can make an unusual, beautiful card for any holiday and for March 8th. If your child wants to make his mother a postcard for March 8 with his own hands, then it is better to turn on a video lesson for him - one that was recorded by the child, so the baby will understand it more and more interesting, and the card for his mother will turn out just great!
