How to make a beautiful postcard

Each of us loves to receive gifts, it is always something pleasant, new and interesting! It is less pleasant to give gifts, but it is also always very important and exciting. It is a pleasure to watch the recipient's reaction - someone cries with happiness, someone laughs with surprise, someone jumps to the ceiling and rejoices at the long-awaited gift.

Today, shops are overflowing with various gift items, including postcards. What designers will not come up with, and postcards with jokes, musical, with a bright print, 3D postcards, even the text is already written inside! They came up with everything for you, just not from the heart. Another thing is a handmade postcard! Made with soul and individual approach, the text can be composed and signed by yourself.
You can only convey your warm wishes and seal them on a sheet for long memory with the help of a postcard. Making a postcard yourself is like giving a piece of yourself, because making a postcard, you will put all your imagination and soul into this work. In addition, now handmade items are very popular, so you will give not just a postcard, but a very fashionable Handemade postcard!

Before you start making a postcard, you need to decide on the topic, for what reason you need the postcard, and also decide on the design:

• Birthday card - can be made with the image of bright balloons or cake, as well as with the image of a gift.
• If a postcard is necessary for a loved one / beloved, it is, of course, with the image of hearts, or perhaps you have some common secrets that are clear only to you, they can also be used when making a postcard.
• For mom or grandmother, postcards with flowers or images of animals are suitable; for dad and grandfather with cars and boats, or with the image of superheroes.
• A New Year's card can be made with the image of a Christmas tree, Santa Claus or fireworks.
• You can also design a postcard for the recipient with his name, or with a picture of a hobby or work (threads with needles for a seamstress, scissors and a comb for hairdressers, etc.)

You can buy all the components and everything for manufacturing in handicraft stores or look for the necessary items at home: threads, buttons, beads, colored paper, ribbons, felt-tip pens, bright pieces of fabric. Do not forget about additional materials: scissors, glue, tape, silicone gun, ruler, pencils, etc.
The postcard (base) itself should be chosen white or neutral colors, so that all other components and objects on it would look more expressive. It is better to choose a postcard from thick cardboard. All items that you decide to place on the postcard should be fixed with glue or silicone and should not weigh down the postcard sheet so that it does not deform. 

Decorations can be:

• Paper - you can cut out any shapes and inscriptions. If you own the quilling technique, you can safely use it! Paper applications can be supplemented with beads, rhinestones, ribbons. Paper decorations are the simplest and lightest in execution, so this option can be chosen for beginners or for children.
• Fabric - it can be ribbons, guipure, felt and even pom-poms made of knitting threads! Fabric decorations can also be of various shapes and sizes. The main thing is that they are combined and correspond to the general style. Unleash your imagination!
• Jewelry - beads, stones, various chains and mini-straps. From all this, you can come up with a completely stylish and creative postcard.
• Decor - dried decorative leaves, twigs and flowers. You can also use small wood parts. 

Additionally, you can use colored feathers, various sequins, openwork napkins and handkerchiefs, cinnamon sticks and aromatic anise.
Do not forget to leave a place for writing wishes and pleasant words. The text can be written in beautiful handwriting or printed on a printer and pasted into a postcard.
