A postcard is a great gift for the Defenders of the Fatherland Day. In this article you will find a selection of templates and detailed tutorials on making beautiful and original congratulations for dad, grandfather or boy. Some of them just need to be cut and glued, others need to be drawn, and others need to be folded and decorated.

We have collected postcards for you that will be appreciated by both the military and those who have served for a long time or did not even serve at all. In a word, any man will be very pleased to receive such a congratulation. Making postcards for February 23 with your own hands is very simple, so even children can handle this task.

Postcard from pasta for dad

Let's start with a master class for children - a great option for elementary school or kindergarten. We offer several options for postcards from pasta and cereals. These postcards are good because they do not need to be drawn for too long, and therefore even the smallest children can handle them. Any dad will be happy to receive such a fun homemade card for February 23rd.

We will need:

• white or colored cardboard;
• colored or decorative paper;
• glue or plasticine;
• cereals (buckwheat, rice, peas) or pasta of any shape;
• paints (gouache, watercolor or any other).

If the child is small, help him make a drawing and use plasticine to attach the cereal to the cardboard. If he already knows how to make some paper crafts and work with glue, it is preferable to use glue.

Fold the cardboard in half or cut out a rectangle to decorate. If you are working with pasta, you need to paint them immediately, if you are working with other cereals, you can paint them later. How to work with some types of cereals, you can read in our article.

A simple decor in this case will be enough. Cut out two rectangles: one from newspaper, the second from paper, make a mustache and a bow tie from pasta.

Add congratulations. If a child knows how to draw, a postcard for February 23 can be made very interesting. For example, dad can be presented with a ship filled with cereals.

First, a drawing is applied, and then it is filled with grits. Add colors, write nice words.

Craft for the little ones - the word "PAPA" and the number "23". Write the word on the cardboard in large letters and roll up plasticine sausages. To fill it, decorate with peas or buckwheat.

Help your child make an airplane (this is a very useful and exciting activity for children). Color it in, write "From February 23!" and paste it on a postcard.

All the presented examples of homemade postcards can be changed and supplemented with any thematic decor in the form of stars, planes, tanks, etc.

Postcard in quilling technique

This is a very beautiful way to make a custom postcard for February 23 with your own hands. Any man will appreciate the effort you put into her. A quilling card is one of the best options to congratulate your beloved man, dad or grandfather. Stylish, original and tasteful.

We will need:

• several strips of colored paper;
• cardboard for the base;
• transparent glue;
• white cardboard;

If you don't have a special quilling needle, you can make your own. To do this, take an ordinary sewing needle with a large eye and bite off its tip with scissors. Insert the game with a sharp end into any wooden base.

The postcard begins with the preparation of a drawing and details for quilling. Cut the paper into strips no wider than 0.5 centimeters or less. Twist the parts with a needle, simply by passing it along the strip. Form shapes with your fingers. We have already told you how to twist parts using the quilling technique.

We draw the desired image on the cardboard: the inscription "February 23", a tank, an airplane, etc. We spread it with cardboard strips, gluing them on the edge with transparent glue. While they do not hold very firmly, but when filled, they will stand up “tightly”.

We fill the space with twisted details.

An excellent postcard in the "military" style will turn out in the form of a tank.

You can put the numbers one after the other.

Whatever you choose, attach the elements with transparent glue. Add congratulations - and the card is ready for February 23!

Postcard-shirt or military uniform

We offer step-by-step instructions, having mastered which you will learn how to fold a postcard in the form of a jacket and a shirt with a tie or a military uniform. Choose the first option if your man is far from the army, and the second, if vice versa. Such a card can also be offered to a child as a craft for dad.

We will need:

• white cardboard;
• colored cardboard;
• satin ribbons;
• buttons and beads;
• any decor;
• Super glue;
• needle with thread.

Choose the color of paper according to what and for whom the postcard will be. If you want to make an imitation of a military uniform, take dark green paper or khaki cardboard, otherwise use cardboard of any color.

We cut out a “shirt” from white cardboard in the form of a rectangle. Then cut out the collar. The colored cardboard blank should be 2.5 times larger.

We place the “shirt” in the center and make bends in the form of a smell of a uniform. Bend the top corners to make a collar. The shirt also needs to be folded over to form a collar.

We put a ribbon in the center of the shirt - this will be our tie. To make a knot for it, we will use a bead. It's better to sew it on. We fix the tie with glue.

Glue a small piece of tape to a narrow white cardboard strip - this is a pocket and a future handkerchief. We will glue it and drape it.

Inside the shirt we write a holiday greeting for the Defender of the Fatherland Day. We supplement the jacket with buttons or stars, if it is a uniform. We glue the pocket, we make the rim with a felt-tip pen.

In the assembled form, congratulations are not visible on the postcard. If necessary, you can write additional wishes on the inside of the uniform. For example, many put poems on a gift that can be read with a full turn of the jacket. Any man will be pleased to receive such a homemade postcard for the holiday: you can immediately see how much soul has been invested in it.

Postcard with a voluminous boat

This simple card can be made by a child for dad. However, even crafts for a husband in this style would be appropriate. It will be a great addition to any gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day.

We will need:

• blue cardboard;
• White paper;
• glue stick;
• red and blue markers.

Blue cardboard is an imitation of the sea. To make the postcard more interesting, we will put it: bend it in half and make two folds inward so that it stands. You can lay an additional lining on the bottom to make the structure more stable.

We make a boat out of paper. Detailed instructions on how to do this can be found in our article on simple origami techniques.

Glue the boat to the cardboard. Add waves from paper.

We cut out a rectangle for the flag and several seagulls from white paper. With felt-tip pens we tint the flag and the boat itself.

Postcard for February 23 is ready! Congratulations can be written on the other side of the craft. And inside the card you can put a small gift or something tasty.

Volumetric postcard with an airplane

Another way to congratulate dad on February 23 is a voluminous postcard with an airplane. It is all made of paper and glued quite simply. A child from elementary school will cope with this master class on their own, but children from kindergarten will need a little help here.

We will need:

• blue cardboard;
• white paper;
• blue paper;
• paper of any bright color;
• glue stick.

Cut out some clouds from white paper. We make a circle from blue paper, and then cut it out in a spiral 0.5 centimeters thick.

Draw an airplane on colored paper. Separately, we make the wings, glue them. We glue the clouds completely, the spiral is behind the center, we glue the plane to the center.

Fold the card in half. Congratulations can be written between the glued elements.

Such a voluminous postcard will appeal not only to dads and grandfathers, but also to boys. This is a great idea for congratulating classmates.

Bonus: video tutorial

This is a very simple voluminous postcard for February 23, which you can do with your own hands in just 5-10 minutes. Such a congratulation looks original and very beautiful. Take a look at the short video tutorial and get down to business - you definitely can't go wrong.

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, dads, brothers. And, most importantly, to 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 look after the progress of 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 for this holiday.

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

In our kindergarten, children are not yet given homework, they try to make thematic congratulations themselves, but sometimes a child asks himself on the weekend to make an application 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 they need to hand it in tomorrow. So let's look at a few easy ideas that, in their implementation, will take no more than half an hour of your joint time.

For example, create a congratulation 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 blanks in advance.

Use scissors with uneven edges.

The cardboard is folded in half, the substrate is glued to the front side.

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

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

These strips are glued only at the tips, 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, 3cm x 1cm, and fold it in half.

Make two slits at the edge that didn't become a fold and glue this flag to the toothpick.

It is very easy to repeat the following idea.

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

I also liked one idea. The execution turns out to be a very adult and strict design. But it's also done quickly.

We fold the cardboard - the base.

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

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

You can mark this place with a pencil.

How to make voluminous postcards with your own hands to school

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 internal patterns.

Transfer the drawing to colored paper and carefully repeat the inner lines of the drawing with a clerical knife.

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

We paste paper with a cut out ship on the front side of the cardboard. Cardboard can be taken contrasting.

Inside stick a white sheet of paper on which you can write a congratulation.

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

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

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

Or such an interesting option with a 3D ship.

And I also want to show a sweet version of voluminous congratulations.

I think that our defenders will definitely appreciate this!

Beautiful congratulations from paper for dad on February 23

I also want to congratulate dad in a very unusual way. For example, to give a postcard, which requires very painstaking work.

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

Then draw 3 squares, 2.5 * 2.5 cm in size. Inside of which you can draw thematic objects: an anchor, a steering wheel, a balloon, an airplane, a ship, a watch or a star. You can draw yourself, but I will give her a template.

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

Inside, paste a congratulation printed on a white sheet.

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

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

Or with a jacket.

You will see a template for such a postcard a little lower in the corresponding section.

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

To do this, we need double-sided cardboard and one sheet of colored paper.

The sheet is folded in half. On the front side, at the place of the fold, we make an incision at a distance of 3 cm from the edge.

On the back side of the sheet, we completely cut off a line 3 cm wide. So the shirt collar will protrude above the postcard.

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

It's time for a tie.

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

Then we turn the ends to the resulting fold.

Turn the end up.

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

We bend the edges towards ourselves and push inward with a finger.

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

We glue the received part on a postcard.

Contrasting colors look very nice: black and white.

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

DIY greeting cards using scrapbooking technique

Very rich and unusual congratulations are obtained, created using the scrapbooking technique.

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

You can generally sew some decoration elements on a sewing machine.

I also like the option of wooden postcards. But due to the fact that not everyone can cut out of it and does not have a special milling machine, let's take this design as a basis. And we will replace the tree with thick cardboard, which is sold in stores for needlework and creativity.

Or such a cool idea.

Because this postcard 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 work.

Template for creating a star for this congratulation.

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

Then cut out the star pattern.

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

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

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

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

Now I want to show options for inscriptions.

This template can be printed on colored paper.

Another congratulations idea.

A set of fonts.

Also a diagram for cutting out an airplane.

Template for unusual postcards. Figures in squares need to be cut.

The scheme of a small postcard.

Template for postcard - jacket.

Take note of ready-made solutions.

Original applications for Defender of the Fatherland Day

Now applications with congratulations in the origami technique are very popular.

Here is a scheme for creating a congratulations in the form of a shirt.

And here is another very cute hand appliqué idea.

We need two sheets of cardboard.

Trace around your left arm and cut it out.

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

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

We glue the edge of the accordion to one palm, the other edge to the other palm.

The application is quite simple, but it will be very interesting for children to make this.

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

For example, our dad perceives this holiday purely in the colors of camouflage and a vest, so we choose the appropriate color background for postcards.

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, a monocle, a mustache or a cane.

I want to know your opinion on the whole collection of ideas. Bookmark the article to repeat your favorite illustration with the kids.

Another interesting option for a do-it-yourself postcard for dad is an origami shirt postcard. There are many ways to make this type of postcards, we will talk about the main ones, starting with simple options and ending with more complex origami postcards.

The easiest way is to fold a rectangular piece of paper in half. From the back of the card, cut off a strip of paper from the top. In front, make two shallow cuts on the sides and bend them towards the center to make a "collar" of the shirt. Separately cut out a tie, decorate it with pieces of colored paper, and then stick it on a postcard.

You probably noticed that the paper shirts in the photo are decorated with ties. A tie can simply be cut out of paper, or you can fold it, like a shirt, using the origami technique.

An interesting idea is to decorate a postcard shirt with real buttons, and instead of a tie, make a pasta bow tie of the same shape. Pre-paint the pasta with paint, preferably waterproof acrylic.

If your grandfather or dad is fond of fishing, then the following do-it-yourself postcard by February 23 will be appropriate for him. To make it, in addition to colored paper, you will need a thin rope. From it you will make a fishing line for a fishing rod.

One of the favorite men's holidays in my family is February 23, and my children and I always make postcards for February 23 with our own hands to our relatives and friends. Perhaps someone will say that it is easier to buy ready-made cards, but the children really like to make them, so we do it together.

By the way, I heard a version from several acquaintances that only those who served in the army should be congratulated, but I do not support this point of view - every man is the defender of the fatherland.

What to portray

To make a beautiful one with a child with your own hands, first of all, you need to choose the plot of the product. If the man to whom the present is intended served in any army, then you can choose any suitable symbolism.

Similar variant:

And if not, then you can just pick up a courageous symbol - for example, my son often draws horses for his grandfather, my brother receives cards with a tank because of his addiction to a famous game.

Choose an artistic style of work, and get started - making it will not take much time, and your loved ones will be happy with such a gift for a long time to come.

Application option

Various inscriptions for download:

Making an application is quite simple - you can look at the photo of the postcard you like and repeat. But if you want to definitely do everything from scratch, then follow the instructions.

1. On plain paper (it can also be in a box), first sketch a future postcard - determine in advance the shape and color of all elements, location and composition, work out the shape.
2. Make a pattern for each element (especially if you are doing it with a child - it is easier for them to circle the finished pattern). To do this, draw all the elements on one sheet of thick paper or even cardboard (if you plan to use the pattern repeatedly), mark the front side and cut it out with a sharp breadboard knife or good scissors.
3. Pick a base for your postcard. It can be a piece of thick cardboard or even ordinary white drawing paper, special paper or a piece of paper from a watercolor album.
4. Give the blank the desired shape - cut the corners, cut off the edges, make a creasing - a groove along which the postcard will fold. To do this, you need to draw a line along the ruler with any non-writing pointed object. The most commonly used is an old ballpoint pen.
5. Pick up colored paper for the application and cut out the desired elements. You can use plain colored paper, you can buy shiny or velvet, neon or glitter.

   We always have scrapbooking paper at home and I let the kids take a few sheets for their postcards. And if you really need some color of paper, which was not at hand, then you can always just mix paints and paint the desired leaflet.

6. Sequentially lubricate the elements with glue and stick in the right places, gently smoothing with a dry, clean cloth.
7. Put the appliqué under the press in order to remove excess waves from the glue.
8. Don't forget to sign the postcard.

Another option (it is better to make such a postcard from thick cardboard):

Volumetric work techniques

A beautiful do-it-yourself postcard to your beloved dad on February 23 can be voluminous. Think about how you or your child would like to give volume to the card - it can be quilling, voluminous appliqué, or even a card that becomes voluminous when unfolded.

I sometimes help kids make scrapbooking cards, but much more I like to watch what they come up with themselves - so if the child is not averse to dreaming up, be sure to listen to his desires.

quilling

In this technique, it is easiest to make a voluminous postcard, especially since you don’t have to come up with any special plot, quilling is very attractive in itself, so it’s enough just to depict the date of the holiday in this technique. However, if you want, you can schematically depict something .

To make greeting cards using the quilling technique, you will need to purchase or make a blank for a postcard, as well as strips of quilling paper - you can buy them ready-made. You can choose the colors to your taste - these can be classic khaki shades, symbolizing military uniforms, or any others that seem appropriate.

paper cutting

Volumetric postcards are always very effective, and therefore it is not surprising that a child may want to make just such a postcard. Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for February 23 can be quite complicated - if you have chosen this option, then it is better to watch a video tutorial.

Or you can use a hand-made sketch - especially when you plan to make a folding card.

For example, you can draw on paper some plot that is not too difficult to cut out, and make a postcard that can be placed on a table or shelf. Another one is glued to the carved part - the back, and a beautiful curly congratulation is obtained.

You can try to make a postcard, where the three-dimensional structure will be in the middle - for example, cutting and gluing a ship on the waves is not too difficult.

Or you can just make a three-dimensional application - the cut out elements are not glued to glue, but to special adhesive pads and springs, and then the decorative elements are slightly behind the paper.

And a few more ideas for inspiration:

Now you know how to make a card that every father will be happy to receive!
