For the base of the postcard you need a sheet of cardboard, preferably white, but if this is not available, you need to choose the lightest shade.

The shade of the sheet used can be chosen to suit your taste. Leave the product to dry for a few minutes!
Meanwhile, the middle of the card is made from colored paper of a different shade. A sheet of paper must be folded in half.
Draw lines on the side of the fold along which the slits will be made in the future.
As a result, you will get something like this, which will be located in the middle of the postcard.
Using a glue stick, you need to glue the workpiece in the right place, that is, inside the craft. When applying glue to the surface of the sheet, do not treat the walls of the “cubes” with glue; they must remain unglued! It should look like this.
Now you need to leave it until the glue dries completely. It is better if it is in expanded form.
Afterwards, on the cover, stepping back a little from the edge, draw acrylic paint, square.
Then, add these “lines” to it. By the way, if you have a sewing machine, you can make these stitches using it. This will be a small piece of the shirt.
After the “shirt” is ready, you should start making the butterfly. A blank for a butterfly is cut out of colored paper.
Hue of this element Postcards can be chosen at your discretion! Next, by folding the blank and securing it with glue, you will get a butterfly like this.
It needs to be attached to the cover using double-sided tape. You can put white dots on the butterfly, it will look great!
After the butterfly has been secured, three buttons need to be attached in the same way.
On the “shirt” you need to place white dots.
Then, you need to cut out thin strips from colored paper, which decorate the craft and give it a finished look.
Afterwards, attach with double-sided tape the following inscription: To the Pope.
Now all that's left is a few finishing touches to the middle of the card... Wide strips are cut out of wrapping paper and then glued to the sides of the "boxes".
And on top of the stack of “boxes”, a small bow is glued to double-sided tape.

Attention, TODAY only!
Every father will be pleased to receive a hand-made postcard from his daughter or son for his birthday, or on February 23rd. A postcard for dad is an excellent and memorable present that remains not only on a shelf or in a frame, but also in the heart.
A postcard in the form of a mosaic is fast, unusual and cute. You can please your father with this product on February 23rd.
The basis should be a regular sheet of A4 paper. Suitable color is white. We bend it in half and get the desired shape.
Now let's get to the interesting creative part - drawing. It is necessary to depict what is connected with February 23 - tanks, planes, stars, St. George ribbons and, of course, be sure to depict the dad in military uniform.
It is better to place the main composition on the cover. It is advisable to depict the background and the main character on it. You can place the rest of the items inside the card, but first you need to write a congratulation there so that the mosaic does not overlap it. It is better to write the text by hand, because laying out small letters from paper is not too easy.
The next step is to create the paper pieces. This requires regular colored paper in different colors. Take a piece of paper and tear it into small pieces.
Next, you need to paste over the drawing with pieces. To simplify the creation of a mosaic, you need to apply glue not to each piece, but to the whole piece. It's better to start with the background elements so that important elements the compositions looked more impressive.
It is not necessary to try to make each element from pieces of the same color. For example, a tank and clothes can be made in camouflage color scheme, that is, combine pieces of green paper of different shades in one piece. You can also make the inscription multi-colored.
All small details You need to cut it out of paper separately and stick it on the mosaic. If they are too small, you can draw them. This should be done only after the glue has had time to dry, so that the drawing does not “move out”.

The left sail is a triangle of any bright color with a right angle at the bottom right, the lower side of which should be parallel to the top of the trapezoid. Right sail - right triangle, the base of which should be rounded and directed towards right side. It should also be located parallel to the top of the trapezoid.

The flag can be made of red paper and attached to the top of the starboard sail, the lifebuoy should be on the port sail and the base of the ship, and the windows in the cabins should be on the base of the ship on the right. The steering wheel can be placed near the bow of the ship.
