Not only grown boys, men and grandfathers are preparing for February 23rd. Even very young sons also want to be fully armed. Together with the poems learned responsibly, the child can ask his mother to make a voluminous postcard with his own hands for his father or grandfather.

Now we will make an original Boat gift for dad. You can draw or find any other template online, such as a tank.

Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for February 23: master class

To work you will need:

• printed template
• colored cardboard
• white cardboard
• stationery knife
• simple pencil
• fine marker for signature

Let's start making postcards

1. Using the template, we draw the details on colored cardboard. If your printer prints on thick paper, you can print the design directly onto construction paper and then cut it out.



2. We press a groove in the middle of the white cardboard sheet - this is the fold point. To do this, you can use a knitting needle, a ballpoint pen that no longer writes, or another object. Be careful not to cut through the cardboard!
3. Glue the colored part of the card to the white sheet, leaving the boat free.




4. We wait until the product dries, write a congratulation with a marker, and then fold the card in the marked place. You can make a line along the outline of the entire card with a marker. You can glue colored buttons to the sails, and bright paper twine to the hull of the ship.




Using multi-colored blanks and foam tape, you can make other items. They can be glued to cardboard or placed on a footrest as a stand-alone card.

Initially, February 23 was still considered a holiday for those men who are associated with the military sphere. Now, this is a holiday for all males, so everyone needs to be congratulated: grandfathers, fathers, brothers. And, most importantly, put a piece of your soul into this congratulation, so I want to come up with something original and solemn.

Of course, more often such cards are made by children; mothers only supervise the progress of the work. But you can turn it into a masterpiece if you use different techniques and call on the entire reserve of your accuracy. By the way, there is one for this holiday.

I want to inspire you with different ideas so that you can put your business aside and get creative.

In our kindergarten, children are not yet given homework; they try to make themed greetings themselves, but sometimes the child himself asks on the weekend to make an applique or a postcard. Then you also have to look for ideas that are not difficult to repeat, but also show the child how aesthetically pleasing the result looks.

Of course, most often children remember that they need to make a postcard when they go to bed, and it needs to be submitted tomorrow. So let's look at a few easy ideas that will take no more than half an hour of your time together to implement.

For example, create a greeting with a three-dimensional Russian flag. I know that at this age kids still cannot cut straight along the lines, so you will have to prepare the blanks in advance.

Use scissors with jagged edges.

The cardboard is folded in half and a backing is glued to the front side.

A black strip is glued diagonally, which will serve as the basis for the flag.

Three stripes of the same size (about 4 cm) in the colors of the Russian flag are cut separately: white, blue, red.

These strips are glued only at the ends, creating a small arch.

If it is difficult for a child to explain how to make such a flag, then use a simplified version.

Take red paper and toothpicks.

Cut a small strip of paper measuring 3*1 cm and fold it in half.

Make two cuts near the edge that did not become folded and glue this flag to the toothpick.

It's very easy to replicate the following idea.

You will need two strips of cardboard of the same width, but different lengths. A number is cut out from one edge. Next, glue both halves at the beginning.

I also liked one idea. The execution results in a very mature and strict design. But it is also done quickly.

We roll up the cardboard - the base.

We take smaller paper and cut out a star and a slot in the middle for the inscription.

Before gluing the two sides, write text in the place where the slot is.

You can mark this place with a pencil.

How to make voluminous cards for school with your own hands

Volumetric congratulations always look more original than the usual flat ones. But it also takes more time to create them. They have more details, so these options are more suitable for schoolchildren.

For example, the idea with a boat and an anchor looks very nice.

To do this, you can print a template, cut out the ship, waves and anchor according to the internal diagrams.

Transfer the drawing to colored paper and carefully use a stationery knife to repeat the inner lines of the drawing.

Then you need to bend the cardboard in color and place it with the fold up.

Glue paper with a cut out ship onto the front side of the cardboard. You can use contrasting cardboard.

Paste a white sheet of paper inside on which you can write a congratulation.

Interesting options include three-dimensional images of balloons and ships.

For example, on this postcard a boat is made using the origami technique. And on the basis of it the entire composition is created.

Here is a detailed diagram of the order in which you need to fold the sheet.

Or such an interesting option with a 3D ship.

I would also like to show you a sweet version of a three-dimensional congratulation.

I think that our defenders will definitely appreciate this!

Beautiful congratulations from paper for dad on February 23

I would also like to congratulate dad in a very unusual way. For example, giving a card that requires very painstaking work.

To create it, you need to take a sheet of cardboard and bend it in half.

Then draw 3 squares, measuring 2.5*2.5 cm. Inside which you can draw thematic objects: an anchor, a steering wheel, a balloon, an airplane, a ship, a clock or a star. You can draw it yourself, but I’ll give you a template.

Then carefully cut along the contour with a sharp blade or stationery knife.

Paste a congratulation printed on a white sheet of paper inside.

You can make a card in the form of a shirt and tie.

They are different, for example, those with a drawn tie.

Or with a jacket.

You will see a template for such a postcard just below in the corresponding section.

Let's create such an orange, bright postcard ourselves.

For this we need double-sided cardboard and one sheet of colored paper.

Fold the sheet in half. On the front side, at the fold, we make a cut at a distance of 3 cm from the edge.

From the back side of the sheet we completely cut off a line 3 cm wide. This way the collar of the shirt will protrude above the postcard.

Now we also retreat 3 cm from the sides and make horizontal cuts 3 cm long. We bend their ends inward.

It's time for the tie.

We need a square of double-sided colored paper, measuring 15*15 cm.
We fold it diagonally.

Then we turn the ends to the resulting fold.

Turn the tip up.

Now we turn the end inward, as in the photo.

We bend the edges towards ourselves and push them inside with our finger.

Now we reduce the width of the free edge of the tie by tucking the sides.

We glue the resulting part onto the postcard.

Contrasting colors look very nice: black and white.

Also, to achieve greater similarity, use a sheet of velvet paper as a basis.

DIY greeting cards using scrapbooking technique

Congratulations created using the scrapbooking technique are very rich and unusual.

When many different parts with different textures are used. Anything will do here: wallpaper, twine, buttons, wood. Of course, it is better to choose a color scheme that combines well with different colors.

You can even sew on some decoration elements using a sewing machine.

I also like the option of wooden cards. But due to the fact that not everyone knows how to cut from it and does not have a special milling machine, let’s take this design as a basis. And we will replace the wood with thick cardboard, which is sold in stores for handicrafts and creativity.

Or such a cool idea.

Because this card looks very noble and expensive.

Schemes and templates for postcards for February 23

I have prepared several templates with congratulatory inscriptions. Which you can print and use in your creativity.

Template for creating a star for this greeting.

Take a sheet of paper and stick two strips on it for the St. George ribbon.

Then cut out the star according to the template.

Tuck its edges in using your finger and a ruler. Then, using the same ruler, bend each ray of the star in half.

You need to start along a line from top to bottom. As in the photo. This will make 5 lines from each end.

Now we make these lines more visible with our fingers and begin to glue the star to the blank with St. George ribbons.

All that remains is to cut out only one star and find the right place for it in the overall picture.

Now I want to show the inscription options.

This template can be printed on colored paper.

Another idea for congratulations.

Set of fonts.

Also a diagram for cutting out an airplane.

Template for unusual cards. Figures in squares need to be cut out.

Scheme of a small postcard.

Template for a postcard - a jacket.

Take note of ready-made solutions.

Original applications for Defender of the Fatherland Day

Nowadays, applications with congratulations using the origami technique are very popular.

Here is a diagram for creating a greeting in the form of a shirt.

Here is another very cute idea for an applique in the shape of hands.

We will need two sheets of cardboard.

Trace your left arm and cut it out.

And we fold it in half, then in half again, to make a small accordion. We tuck the ends because we will glue them to our palms.

Now you need to decorate the front side of the applique.

Glue the edge of the accordion to one palm, the other edge to the other palm.

The applique is not at all complicated, but it will be very interesting for children to make.

There are a lot of options for original postcards for men, the main thing is to choose the one that best suits the character of your men.

For example, our dad perceives this holiday purely in the colors of camouflage and vest, so we choose the color background of the cards accordingly.

If you do not want to focus on the military past of the holiday, then you can create such interesting options with stylized features of a man: a hat, monocle, mustache or cane.

I would like to know your opinion on the entire selection of ideas. Bookmark the article to repeat your favorite illustration with children.

The men's holiday is approaching and I want to please the stronger sex with pleasant surprises and gifts. Crafts for February 23rd are an opportunity to show your imagination and please your loved ones. Involve your child in creativity, make a gift for dad or grandfather with your own hands. Any father would appreciate a touching craft or a children's card from his son or daughter.

TO

getting a gift for February 23rd in a store is not a big problem. Each store puts out the appropriate products before the holidays. It seems to us that a gift made with your own hands will be much nicer and more memorable than just a purchase. And your men, be it dad, husband, brother, will definitely appreciate the efforts of you and your child.

It's a good idea to give dad a photo frame as a gift on February 23rd. Only one child cannot cope with this work. If you take part in creativity, it will work out.

To work you will need:

1. Colored cardboard.
2. Thicker cardboard (you can take any color).
3. Colored applique paper or colored cardboard.
4. Scissors.
5. PVA glue.
6. Ruler.

Take green cardboard, step back 4-5 cm from the edge with a ruler and draw a photo frame with a pencil. First, we figure out which photo will fit here; all our calculations depend on this. Drew it and attached a photo. If everything works out, carefully cut out the frame.

We cut out the details to decorate the frame, drawing them by hand or printing them on a printer.

We glue the colored applique to the frame and begin to make the frame itself. We cut out a rectangle from thick cardboard, the area equal to the frame, to form the back part of the product. Glue two pieces of cardboard and glue the leg for stability. The gift is ready.

You can decorate the frame by gluing a shell, a beaded fish, an anchor, a steering wheel - on the theme of the sea.

If you don’t know what to give a young man on February 23, there is a good option, here’s a tank:

It is assembled from corrugated paper, double-sided tape or glue.

This makes for an interesting gift:

Another tank, but with different “contents”.

The same materials are used, only here there is more sweetness.

The result was an original gift:

Crafts made from salt dough, made together with a child on February 23, can be presented at home and at work, at school and in kindergarten. These gifts do not require large expenses, but will delight you with care and attention.

Salt dough is easy to prepare. You can use the dough to make a figurine, a keychain, or a refrigerator magnet.

One of many salt dough recipes:

1. Flour - 300 grams.
2. Regular salt, coarse - 300 grams.
3. Water - 200 grams.
4. Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon.

Knead the dough, adding water gradually. When it’s ready, roll it out on the table and squeeze out the parts using molds. Even small children can cope with such simple work. Dry the pieces in the oven. You can paint with food grade paints or acrylic paints. It's up to you to decide whether you give for food or for beauty.

Our next craft for February 23rd is a keychain made from salt dough. We make it for fathers, grandfathers, brothers and mothers (after all, there are military mothers).

We collect all sorts of little things: coins, nuts, buttons, screws, nails - all this will be useful to us for working with the dough.

We cut out letters from cardboard: “P”, “M” or the initial letter of the name, for example, Sasha. Make a hole in the corner with a hole punch or scissors.

Place the “sausage” of dough onto the cardboard, distributing it evenly over the surface of the letter.

Use an awl or scissors to make a through hole for the ring.

We paint the keychain in any color, preferably with acrylic paints. If the paint is not waterproof, coat the top of the keychain with varnish (you can use nail polish).

Leave to dry or dry in the oven. When it dries, we put the ring through the hole and you can give it as a gift.

We have created an original keychain in the steampunk style. What is "steampunk"? Science fiction and mechanics, a very interesting style.

IN

First, let's come up with a design for our paper postcard. It will be simple to implement or complex - you decide. The main thing is that it should be a beautiful congratulation on February 23rd.

Volumetric postcards in kindergarten and school:

Let's start with an original postcard on which we will write congratulations and wishes. We will make postcards using different techniques. You can make a card like this using the origami technique. For the postcard you will need a rectangular sheet of colored paper. Take plain A4 size paper for testing, fold it according to the instructions, you will understand which sheet size is most suitable.

Fold the rectangle in half along the sheet. The paper folds like a book, there is nothing complicated in the work.

Unfold the sheet and fold it again, from the sides to the center.

We have a rectangle: on one side there is a sheet, and on the other there is a vest.

The photo shows that you need to bend it inward, this is a mistake. Bend the corners outward so that the corners protrude slightly beyond the fold. We made “sleeves”, turn the work over and bend it 2 cm in the opposite direction.

This is how the “collar” turns out; we will direct the square of the shirt into the corners of the collar.

A tie or bow tie can be cut out and glued to the “shirt”, or you can make a tie, as in the video.

Don't forget to write congratulations and wishes inside the sheet. We hope that your man will be satisfied. And if you add a small gift (for his hobby), it will be just wonderful.

This is an interesting card you can make together with your child. A very interesting technique that requires only perseverance and patience.

To work you will need:

1. A set of paper ribbons (you can cut it yourself).
2. Cardboard.
3. PVA glue.
4. Tweezers.
5. Scissors.

A special tool for twisting ribbons (you can make it yourself).
How to make a twisting tool: insert a needle with a large eye into a wooden stick (pencil, art brush stick) and bite the eye in half.

Scheme of working on a postcard:

Cut out the base from cardboard, cut thin strips, winding them onto the tool, fix the edges, and then glue them onto the base.

Any CDs are also suitable for postcards. For this card, cut out a star from red cardboard, paste a CD on top of the star and add inscriptions and clippings from magazines or drawings.

Very soon our country will celebrate a holiday dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day. But few people know for sure that in 1995 February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army's victory over the Kaiser's troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

This is the complex name this holiday had. And only in 2002 they decided to shorten it and leave only the last few words. And so it happened that February 23 is called Defender of the Fatherland Day.

By the way, on this holiday it is necessary to honor not only men, but also women. After all, representatives of the fairer sex also serve, risking their lives.

This was just a small part of the background, and now we return to the preparation of this event.

It just so happens that on any holiday, including February 23, children prepare gifts and congratulations to their fathers, grandfathers and other relatives. They create crafts and cards with their own hands. Adults accept them with pleasure, and some even keep them. A paper card for February 23rd for dad is the kindest and most sincere gift.

Today I just want to help the kids cope with this task. Today I will tell you how to make postcards for February 23rd with a description.

DIY postcard for dad on February 23rd

First of all, I'll show you how to make an Airborne Forces postcard. Why did I choose paratroopers and not pilots and sailors? Because our dad served in the airborne troops, and we are proud of it.

Every year we dress in vests with the whole family and go to the city procession with a flag, honor the memory of those who died and then get down to celebrating.

Last year we were even able to attend international events, and there were a lot of impressions.

So for February 23, we decided to give dad a gift, and to include a postcard with the gift.

In order to make an Airborne Forces greeting card, you will need:

• Colored paper;
• Glue;
• Scissors;
• Sheet of cardboard;
• Pencil.

We need cardboard for the base of the card; it is better to use a pencil for glue, because the parts are not large and it will be easier to use. You will need a pencil to draw clouds and a parachute, and scissors to cut out these details.

Let's get to work and start making an Airborne Forces greeting card.

The first step is to fold a sheet of cardboard in half, this will be the base of the postcard. You choose the color yourself.

To simplify the task, I can suggest this template. It can be printed if you have a printer.

In exactly the same way, you can either draw a parachute or print it. Here's another template for you.

It doesn't matter if you drew it all or printed it out, now you just need to cut it out.

We bend the resulting clouds and parachute exactly in the center. Lubricate one half of the parachute with glue and connect it to the half of the other parachute. Look, I made them in different colors, in combination they will resemble a paratrooper’s vest. As soon as our parachute is ready, we grease its edges and glue it to the cardboard in the place you like.

You can draw the slings, you can make them using threads, or you can cut them out from the template that I offered you just above. I used the last option.

Now we need to make the clouds. We deal with them in exactly the same way. Just remember to be careful, because the postcard should not be stained with glue. As a result, I ended up with this Airborne Forces greeting card.

In my opinion, it’s not at all difficult to make such original cards for February 23rd with children.

Postcard for 23rd

Master class postcard for dad with numbers 23

In this work I will not provide templates, so you need to rely only on yourself.

To make a card for dad with the numbers 23, you will need:

• White cardboard;
• Golden cardboard;
• Colored paper;
• Scissors
• Glue;
• Pencil.

When we have all this, prepare the surface and get to work. The first thing to do is fold a piece of white cardboard like this.

Cut strips of blue and red paper 2 centimeters wide and as long as cardboard. We glue the strips as shown in the photo. It turns out to be a wonderful tricolor. Glue a green rectangle into the middle of the card.

Now we take golden-colored cardboard, draw a twig with leaves on the back side and cut it out. It needs to be glued on top.

You can also use colored paper, but it will quickly wrinkle, because we only glue the twig in the middle.

In conclusion, you need to cut out two numbers from cardboard or colored paper. I decided to take the scarlet color. Draw the numbers with a pencil and cut them out. Glue one on one side of the card, the other on the other.

What cards to make for February 23rd with your own hands for your beloved father, grandfather, brother? How to congratulate a sailor, a pilot, or someone who wears a jacket and tie, but only held a virtual or toy weapon in his hands? We tell and show.

In Russia, International Women's Day is celebrated on a grand scale (though not at all in the way Clara Zetkin bequeathed), and its European counterpart, Mother's Day, has also taken root. For men, there is only one such holiday - Defenders of the Fatherland Day, and even to this day there are debates: whether it is necessary to congratulate all men on it or only the military. We think yes, it is necessary and tell you how to make cards for February 23rd with your own hands.

Today we will show you how to make origami cards for February 23rd, how to make a postcard in 5 minutes, how to cut out voluminous unexpected postcards with space invaders or postcards with fighters and ships for Defenders Day (for those who are familiar with the basics of scrapbooking).

Po-o-o-rode-i-i-i!

In the “8 bit” style: do-it-yourself voluminous postcards for February 23

We will start with the most common type of troops in the country: virtual, or computer. If your dad had a "Sega" or "Dandy" console, he will definitely appreciate a pop-up card with a space invader or a scalp.

To make a postcard for February 23rd in the “8 bit” style with your own hands, you will need 3 sheets of colored paper or cardboard, a ruler, a cutter or scalpel, a piece of tape, glue and a printed template.

Fold 2 sheets in half and set one aside for now. Print out the card template, line up the center line with the fold, and use a ruler to make cuts along the red lines. Then bend along the green lines. Glue the blank to the second folded sheet, and use the third to make an envelope. The more intrigue, the more interesting the gift.

Done, you are amazing!

Parade of equipment: do-it-yourself postcards for February 23

If you have time, patience and colorful paper, and your dad or grandfather is a real military man with real shoulder straps, make him a more complex surprise card for Defenders of the Fatherland Day. The materials are the same (just no tape needed).

On the day of the beginning, you need to correctly bend the sheet for the future postcard for February 23 (see master class). The next step is gluing the stripes: red, blue and green background for the surprise tab. Decorate the “face” of the card with a bronze-colored branch applique.

Next, you need to cut out a “pedestal” for the equipment, glue it to the fold of the postcard and attach figures of tanks, airplanes, etc. to it. The do-it-yourself postcard is almost ready - all that remains is to cut out and glue the numbers, stars and make “berries” from lumps of paper to the branch.

Origami postcards for February 23 in the form of shirts

If your real dad has nothing to do with the army and seems to have been born in a jacket and white shirt, fold it for him for February 23, an origami postcard in the form of a shirt.

An origami postcard is very easy to make. Just keep in mind that during the process the sheet will shrink many times, so it is better to take a sheet of paper that is large and quite thin. This card is essentially an envelope card, so you can put a note of congratulations or a small gift (like movie tickets) inside.

You can glue ties or bow ties, pockets, buttons to the finished one - in a word, make them even more like the real thing.

Similar shirt cards can be made even simpler. If you don’t have a large sheet of paper, but have cardboard, it’s better to stick with them.

And here the postcard-shirt is also complemented by a jacket. And for a sailor on February 23, you can make a postcard with a vest.

A Hawaiian card will suit a dad with a good sense of humor.

And for a dandy dad and a favorite of women, you can make a stylish card with a pocket.

DIY postcards for February 23rd for grandfather

And this postcard with a three-dimensional star should really please grandfathers. It is very concise and simple, and for it you only need a sheet of cardboard and paper of 2 colors. A template is included - you need to print it out.

Grandfather will definitely appreciate lovingly hand-cut postcards for February 23rd with fighter planes or sailboats.

Cards you can make at the last minute

Option number 1 - postcard with pasta. They need to be painted, glued, signed - and that’s it, ready.

Options No. 2 and 3 - a postcard for February 23 with a star (you will need mom's help to sew them on, but this is a matter of minutes) and a postcard consisting of a base and several strips of colored tape - very stylish.

Choose a postcard to suit your taste and delight your defenders!
