Stencils for February 23. Kirigami templates for cutting cards. DIY greeting cards using scrapbooking technique

You need to congratulate your beloved men, grandfathers and fathers on Defender of the Fatherland Day in a special way. A handmade postcard will perfectly express love and respect. Some of them will require a mother’s painstaking work, others can be made even by a child. Choose according to your taste!

A postcard in the form of a men's suit, shirt, tie is a classic option that is suitable for congratulating the father of the family not only on February 23, but also on his birthday and any other holiday.

You can make a complicated card with many details that your imagination suggests. Or you can limit yourself to a simple scheme that children can handle quite well under the guidance of an adult. So, let's stock up on colored paper - and get to work!

You can put a congratulation inside the card on a separate sheet, or write it on the card itself.

A shirt made using the origami technique can be glued onto a regular postcard.

The simplest option for making a shirt postcard: make cuts on the sides and fold the edges of the “collar” towards the middle.

It is somewhat more difficult to make a postcard in the shape of a man's jacket. Below is a diagram of how to fold the paper.

Another folding pattern - this time you will end up with a shirt-shaped envelope. You can put your own baked cookies inside.

A real man looks great in a tie. Here is a diagram for folding a tie from colored paper.

The tie can be secured under the collar of a paper shirt.

The green shirt makes one think of a military uniform. After all, the holiday is dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland!

The symbolism of the holiday on February 23 suggests a military theme. Therefore, stars, ribbons, weapons and military equipment would be appropriate. Khaki color and colorful camouflage will complete the look.

With the help of the proposed scan it will be easier to make this spectacular postcard.

Postcards that gain volume when opened look interesting. Hidden inside this postcard is a ship rushing across the waves straight towards the viewer. The main difficulty in manufacturing is to correctly glue the three-dimensional elements so that the postcard can fold and open; Therefore, before gluing, check the functionality of the elements. Rubber glue is good for this purpose, because... it allows you to adjust the position of the glued parts without damaging the paper.

Invite your child to decorate the card with the sun, clouds, and flying seagulls. It would be useful to equip the ship with an anchor and a life preserver!

This postcard using the through-cutting technique () can be done by more experienced needlewomen, but it is very impressive and will decorate dad’s desk!

Below is a template for cutting out a postcard with a sailboat.

The vytynankas look very good against a contrasting background. You can make such a card together with your child: the mother will cut out the thin details, and let the child stick on the letters and numbers.

A white backing sheet is glued in so that the protrusions are perceived against a smooth, contrasting background. And on the next page you can place a congratulation.

The popular quilling technique can also become the basis of a postcard. Look how fun the congratulation looks against the backdrop of festive fireworks!

Silhouettes cut out of paper (colored or white) can be pasted onto a contrasting background to create an original postcard.

Cutting templates can be chosen according to your mood. For example, in a serious style.


Or in a humorous way.

Or even historical.


Military equipment can also be used.

If these pictures seem too complicated for you to use as cutting templates, then simply print them out (most pictures will be larger than they appear on the screen when saved) and offer them to your child as a coloring book. Colored drawings can be pasted onto a postcard and given to dad or grandfather.

The most important factor in learning that has become widely available today with the advent of new technologies is interactivity. However, the method of cognition through interactivity does not always and not immediately become obvious - if, for example, in chemistry you can visually see the mixing of two reagents, then what about computer science and physics? How can you visualize, and most importantly, apply your experience in life? The question is easy to solve - you need to take something simple and interesting, use a little imagination and technical skills, and visually observe the result of your actions. To implement these tasks, ready-made construction kits based on microcontrollers are produced under the SmartElements brand - electronics and programming have never been easier!

Poorly developed attention can lead to learning delays that will be difficult to catch up with later. It is necessary to purposefully develop voluntary attention so that at school the child can concentrate on the teacher’s explanations or completing a task, without being distracted by extraneous sounds, the view outside the window, or communication with a neighbor at his desk. The learning process is much easier for a child with developed attention: he does not need to spend a huge amount of resources just to sit through the lesson.

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 can be 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.

On 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.


You tuck its edges using your finger and a ruler. Then, using the same ruler, we 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.
