Mother's Day Cards

If you don't know what to give for Mother's Day, make a postcard with your own hands. A postcard is a great way to congratulate a loved one, and when it is also created with your own hand, it is doubly pleasant.

Postcard with chamomile

You will need:

• a sheet of white paper;
• colored cardboard;
• glue;
• decorative paper with a pattern or a piece of wallpaper;
• pencil;
• stationery knife;
• colored paper.

Now you need to follow these steps.

1. Draw a daisy petal pattern. Then transfer it to paper and cut about 32 petals and two circles for the core out of white paper.
2. Bend the petals slightly in the middle and use a pencil to twist their edges outward. Then glue half of them in a circle to one core, and the other half to the other. Thus, you should have two daisies.
   
3. Glue the two flowers together, and then glue a circle cut out of yellow paper in the center of the top. Bend a sheet of yellow cardboard in half. Draw a flower on any paper that resembles a chamomile.
4. Cut it out carefully so as not to damage the sheet. Now attach the template to the side of the cardboard that you marked the front, and transfer the drawing to the center of it. Now carefully cut out the flower.
   
5. From patterned paper or wallpaper, cut a rectangle equal to the size of the postcard page, and then glue it inside (if you have a color printer, you can print the pattern below).
   
6. Cut a few thin stripes out of green paper and curl them a little with scissors. Glue the strips in the upper right corner of the postcard, then attach a chamomile next to them. Draw and then cut out a ladybug and glue it to the flower.
   

Flower card

Postcards made using the quilling technique turn out to be incredibly beautiful. This technique seems complicated only at first glance, in fact, even a child can make a gift for a mother using it.

You will need:

• double-sided colored paper;
• wooden skewer or toothpick;
• scissors;
• glue.

Instructions for creating a postcard are presented below.

1. Slice green paper lengthwise into strips 5 mm wide. Wind one of the strips onto a stick, remove it and let the paper unwind a little. Then glue the end of the strip to the base.
2. Holding the circle on one side, squeeze it on the other, as a result you should get a shape that resembles a leaf. Make five of these leaves.
3. Now let's start making big flowers. Cut several strips of colored paper, 35 mm wide (cut a sheet of paper lengthwise). Fold the strip 4 times and on one side cut it into thin strips, not reaching the edge about 5 mm.
   
   
4. Cut strips out of orange or yellow paper that are 5 mm wide. Twist one of them tightly and fix its end with glue - this will be the core of the flower. Now glue the bottom end of the fringed strip to the core and twist it around.
5. Glue the end of the fringed strip with glue and spread the petals outward with a toothpick. Make the required number of flowers. Small flowers are made in the same way as large ones. The only thing is that the stripes for them should have a smaller width, about 25 mm.
6. The middle can be made in two colors, for this use thin stripes of different colors, for example, red and orange.
7. Wind a small piece of orange strip, then glue a piece of red strip to it, make the required number of turns, then glue the orange strip again, wind it and fix it.
   
   
8. To make a two-tone flower, first make a base for a small flower. Without bending its petals, glue a fringed strip of a different color and larger size around the base of the workpiece.
9. Now you need to make several curls, for this, fold the green strip in half. From the bent end, twist it onto a stick, then let it straighten.
10. Glue a piece of paper with the inscription to the base of the postcard (a sheet of colored cardboard is suitable as it), then assemble the composition and secure it with glue.

Wall newspaper

In addition to postcards for your beloved mothers, you can make a poster. A wall newspaper for mother's day can be made in completely different techniques. For example, drawing, applique, photo collage, you can use the same techniques as for making postcards.

Whatever you decide to make a wall newspaper, be sure to write to the dearest person at least a few warm words and pleasant wishes.

3. Take several white and pink napkins and cut them into four equal strips. Then cut each strip with scissors into 3x3 centimeters squares.
