Elderly people value the attention and care of loved ones and the younger generation. What could be more precious for a veteran of the Great Patriotic War than a postcard made by a child. Here you will find many templates and practical advice. A postcard for May 9 is a lesson in kindness and respect for veterans.

The easiest option for kids: colored cardboard postcards. What is Victory Day? These are red flowers, a festive ribbon, fireworks, Victory stars. All this a child can do: glue and draw.

2. Glue stationery.
3. A sheet of foil for fireworks.
4. Scissors.
5. Ruler, pencil.

In order to make an interesting postcard by May 9, we need to take a sheet thick cardboard blue or blue. This color symbolizes a peaceful sky. We draw 2 parallel lines in the middle of the sheet and carefully make cuts. This will be the vase. Next, we bend a sheet of cardboard, as in the photo: in one direction and in the other. So the card will be voluminous. You can make a vase, or you can glue green stems and leaves.

Then we cut off a rectangle of green cardboard for the stem and fold it:

We got these flowers. We glue them with glue to the stems, and then to the vase.

You can make these voluminous red stars:

It remains only to glue the inscription cut out of red cardboard (templates are attached). “Salute” can be drawn at the top of the postcard, or cut out small stars from foil and glue them on.

In order to make it easier to make a postcard by May 9, you can use all kinds of templates: print them or draw them by hand.

Such interesting postcard by May 9 it will work if you try to make the work more difficult. These postcards are also called paper tunnels. The principle of this technique is to make an interesting three-dimensional image. The technique is used when working with theatrical scenery, in large children's books and for voluminous handmade postcards. We will do the work in stages.

For work you will need:

1. Colored cardboard.
2. White and green crepe paper.
3. St. George Ribbon
4. Glue stick for paper.
5. Model knife.
6. Ruler.
7. Pencil.

First, we draw a layout sketch of the future postcard.

Fold a piece of office paper in half. We draw templates for our postcard for Victory Day:

Carefully cut out the outlines with a craft knife.

We apply the cut out paper templates to colored cardboard and outline the contours with a pencil.

We cut out our blanks with a knife. From the sketchbook we cut out a sheet of the same format as ½ of an office sheet.

We supplement our blanks with small details, cut out stars, a propeller, and glue it on cardboard. On a sheet of drawing paper, draw a bright salute with felt-tip pens. On reverse side We write congratulations on Victory Day.

We decorate the top layer of the card with apple flowers, leaves and the St. George ribbon. For apple flowers, cut out circles from corrugated paper, three for each flower. Fold the circles in half, ⅓ and another ⅓. Cut off the edges to make a flower. We cut the first and second and third petal. We want the flower to be cone-shaped.

We put all 3 parts of the petal into each other. We cut out mugs from thick paper, glue our flowers on them.

Stamens for a flower can be made from wire 0.3-0.5 cm. We wrap the wire with paper or cotton wool, make thickenings at the ends. We make a hole in the center of the flowers and insert the stamens there.

Leaves are cut out of green corrugated paper and glued to the base of the flower.

We decorate the upper part of the card: we glue the St. George's ribbon and flowers.

From the album we cut out 2 rectangles 10.5 cm wide. The height of the rectangle is equal to the height of the postcard. We draw lines at a distance of 1.5 cm, bend the sheet along the lines. It turned out 2 accordions.

Collecting the postcard. We glue the sheet with the salute pattern to the accordion.

Glue the next layers.

It turned out to be a beautiful voluminous postcard.
