So, you finally decided to make a postcard yourself. We hope that our tips will help you navigate at first. And then it all depends on you and your imagination!

• Let's take a cardboard that suits us in terms of density. Someone likes it very dense, and someone likes it so that the postcard is slightly bent. Any suitable old postcard can be used as a template.
• Cut out the desired number of blanks. Bend them in half. If plain cardboard seems too boring to you, stick colored paper on top of it, and then fold it in half.
• Prepare the application. If you do not have a pronounced ability for painting, you can cut out drawings that are suitable for the subject from a magazine or advertising brochure. And then circle them and cut the blanks from colored paper. You can take smooth or velor. You can also make appliqués out of unnecessary scraps of fabric, which should be washed and ironed beforehand.
• Stick them on a postcard blank, add a congratulatory or funny inscription, decorate with beads or ribbons if necessary.
• That's it, our Easter card is ready!
