Choose colored paper in two colors. In the master class it is green and red.
Green - for the base of the card. Red is for details. Download the basic template by clicking on the link: postcard star and Star-for-card.pdf
You can also draw templates from the screen and transfer them to paper. Then cut out the base from green paper. We mark on it where the stars and the inscription will be located.
Cut out the stars.
We bend the base in half.
Cut out numbers and a star from red paper.
We bend the side parts of the star.
We bend each ray of the star in half.
Using folds based on the star, we add volume to the figure.
Glue the star to the inside of the card. The star should be visible in the cut hole. We apply glue exclusively to the bent side parts of the star.
Under the star, on the front side of the card, glue the numbers.
Making a postcard:
With a pen under the numbers we write: “February”;
Around the cut out holes, a large and a small star, we make a “hatching” ornament;
Cut out 6 thin strips from yellow paper. We glue these strips onto the postcard vertically and horizontally, 3 pieces each.

You can make a congratulatory inscription inside the card.
Example one
You will need matchboxes (3 pieces), a green plastic bottle cap, sheets of double-sided green paper, a cocktail stick (suitable for the Chupa Chups candy), self-adhesive sheets of black and red paper. To work you will need a pencil, ruler, scissors.
If you follow the sequence of the craft, the product will turn out very beautiful.
- On a sheet of paper, place two boxes lengthwise (one after another), measure the length and width of the workpiece, and draw an outline under the ruler. Having removed the boxes, you need to make allowances of 1 cm from the marked lines, and then cut out the resulting wrapper.
- Perform a similar procedure separately with one box.
- The resulting wrapping material needs to be pasted over the matchboxes - two parts of the tank. Glue the smaller part onto the larger part.
- Insert a tube into the lid (here you will need the help of an adult: drill the side, lightly lubricate the tube and insert it into the hole. The tube must first be covered with paper to match the main color of the product. Allow time to dry completely). Glue to the top of the tank.
- Cut out the caterpillars - elongated ovals; in width and length they should be slightly larger than the narrow sides of the boxes. Make two parts.
- Design the wheels, cut out eight circles from black paper and stick four on the tracks.
- Glue the tracks on both sides of the tank.
- Decorate with a red star.
In order for the craft to have a complete look, it should be installed on some kind of stand, it can be a pedestal made from the same matchboxes, a wooden slice, or a children's cube of suitable sizes.
Card for kindergarten made of paper for Defender of the Fatherland Day
The person behind the idea called the card “magical.” And I completely agree with her. We will get a double postcard with a secret. I'll show you how to do it. When you pull on the inside, the tank magically paints itself!

Fold a sheet of single-sided colored (green) paper in half. Cut along the fold line.
Take half a sheet. We bend a strip at one edge, about 0.5-1 cm wide.
We bend the resulting part of the sheet in half.
From the inside of one half of the workpiece, measure 1 cm from the top, bottom and sides and draw lines. Cut out the inside, leaving a “frame”.
We apply the workpiece to a white sheet. Outline the workpiece. We make additional stripes on the sides, about 0.5-1cm wide.
We cut out the second blank (white) taking into account the side stripes.
We bend the side stripes on the white blank. Apply glue to the side strips of the white blank.
Glue the white piece inside the first, green piece.
Apply glue to the bent side strip of the first workpiece. Glue the 2 halves of the workpiece together.
Again we apply the blank to the white sheet and outline it. At the bottom we draw a strip 1.5 cm wide. we make the side side narrower by 0.2-0.3 cm.
Cut out the third blank. It should be longer and narrower than the first blank. Then it will fit freely in the “pocket” of the first workpiece and part of it will be outside so that this workpiece can be taken out of the pocket.
Take a file or a thick transparent bag. We outline the third blank on it. Cut it out.
We place both blanks: the third and the transparent one, on top of each other. We glue a green strip to the edge of these blanks (bottom and top of this edge), bending it.
On the third blank we draw a tank. Let's paint it.
Cover this blank with the transparent part. We outline the tank with a black marker.
We push these blanks into the “pocket”. The color picture should be under the second, white part. The transparent blank should be on the second white part.
If the picture is inside, then the colored part is covered by the second white part.
And from above you can see a black and white drawing. But once you get a picture, you can admire the decorated tank.
Tank layout (T – 44)
It is advisable to combine plasticine of two colors (black = green) before starting work and soften it thoroughly. This way the plasticine will take on a dark green hue.
You will also need pieces of light tone and gray color, a stack for working with plasticine and a working board. It would be very good to use a photo of the model of this combat vehicle to more accurately create a T44 tank craft.
And now everything is step by step:
- How to make a tower: you need to form a ball. Then sculpt it into an oblong-shaped tower with slightly smoothed edges (as you work, you should constantly compare the created part with the sample).
- From most of the plasticine, sculpt a block - the body of the tank. You need to smooth it out well with your fingers to get sharp edges.
- Connect both components.
- Start sculpting the wheels. Pay attention to their number: 10 large and 4 small products.
- Lightly press each ball onto the surface with your fingers and apply a stack to the axles on all wheels.
- You need to sculpt two long oval planes - these will be the tank tracks.
- Each belt should have wheels in the following order: small wheel - four large ones - small.
- Make a long ribbon from gray plasticine and go around the tracks with it.
- Attach the structure to both sides of the housing.
- Use strips of basic plasticine to form a protective casing.
- Since this model has a thin barrel, it will be difficult to fashion it strong enough. It is better to use the core of a ballpoint pen, covering it with plasticine of the main color. Insert the finished barrel into the unit tower.
- Next, make a canopy for the front of the combat vehicle. Attach a light flatbread to a slightly flattened dark green block (bumper) (alternatively, you can use a light shiny button).
- Attach the bumper with the flashlight to the front of the base.
- Make two massive hooks from gray plasticine and also attach them to the bumper on both sides.
- The tank craft can be improved by adding various details to it (see photo). These will be bolsters on the sides of the protective casing, as well as three hatch covers on the turret.
- Attach the antenna (a piece of wire) to the tower.
- The final step will be to apply a certain (from the sample) relief with the tip of the stack.
Such a gift will be a unique gift for dad - a tank driver.
A tank made of wood looks like an interesting craft. In this case, the help of an adult man will be simply necessary. Because you need to choose the right type of wood, have a certain tool, and know how to use it.
Also, when creating a layout, you should know the safety rules when working with various devices and devices. Don’t despair if you still want to give such a gift. An original designer set - a prefabricated model of a wooden tank will appeal to any boy, and dad will not mind joining in the creativity.
How to make such a wonderful tank craft will be shown in the instructions that accompany this set, with a lot of details.
Happy holidays and creative success.
Volumetric postcard to school for February 23
Once again I am convinced that beautiful crafts are very simple to make. You just need to get into the process. And I'll show you how to make an original card with a minimum amount of material and time.
Author https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k2EIOJjiaA
First, let's prepare the material. You need paper or thin cardboard of the required sizes:
- The base is thin cardboard 21 by 15 cm.
- The inner part is 2 parts 21 by 14 cm.
- Clouds – 3 pcs. 8 by 8 cm.
- The inscription is 20 by 6 cm.
Fold the paper for the inside in half.
Along the fold, from the corner we measure 3cm.
We bend the workpiece along the mark. Just bend it not exactly, but at an angle. The corner of the folded side should be 2.5cm from the middle of the opposite side.
Unfold the fold and cut off a small corner to the 3cm mark.
We unfold the workpiece completely.
On the left side we lift the top part of the sheet along the fold.
Stepping back 2-3cm from the central fold, we form another fold. The corner of this part should not reach the central fold.
On the right side, we wrap part of the sheet along the fold back. We bend the entire workpiece back along the central fold line.
We bend the edge of the right side of the workpiece in exactly the same way as the edge of the left.
We unfold the workpiece. We turn it over so that the central fold is directed upward.
We form all the folds alternating: top-bottom-top... We do this, taking into account the top-directed central fold, sort of like a fan.
Draw a “cloud”. High arcs fall on the bend. Cut out the cloud.
We bend ¼ of the workpiece. Draw 2 parallel lines at a distance of 1cm from each other.
We connect these lines at a distance of 1 cm from the fold.
We make 2 cuts.
Unfold the fold and turn the workpiece over. We continue the lines 3cm from the cuts. Let's connect these lines.
Extend the cut towards the middle.
We lift the strip that has formed up and make a fold.
We bend the second rectangle for the inside in half.
Glue the first piece vertically to the second. The central folds on the “cloud” and the second part must match. Apply glue to the outer parts of the “cloud”.
We cut off the protruding part of the cloud.
We make a cut on the fold of the “cloud”.
Bend the top part forward and make a fold.
We bend the paper for the clouds diagonally. Drawing clouds. Cut it out. Draw along the edge of the clouds with a blue pencil.
We make small cuts on the clouds. We insert one cloud into another. Glue the clouds onto the blank.
Print out a picture of an airplane. Cut out the picture and color it.
Glue the plane to the postcard.
Fold the paper for the inscription in half. We measure 2 cm from the edge. connect the mark to the corner on the fold.
We measure another 1cm. and draw a line parallel to the first one.
At the fold we cut off a corner (from the side of the 1cm strip).
We bend the measured 1 cm from one edge of the workpiece.
Unbend the strip. We round the edges on one side and the other (to different lengths). Let's cut it off.
On one part we write: “February”.
Glue the numbers 2 and 3.
Glue the workpiece to the base. Apply glue to the bent strips. The fold lines of the workpiece and the base must match.
We glue the resulting blank onto a cardboard base, bent in half.
Decorate the front side of the card to your liking.
A link to the aircraft template is attached. But if you wish, you can find any other aircraft template on the Internet. If it’s not clear what I said, watch the video

We bend the corners.
Take a strip of white paper 5.5-6 cm wide. We put the strip in the middle, under the “shirt collar”. Glue it. Cut off the excess part at the bottom.
We bend colored double-sided paper measuring 13.5 by 5.5 cm in half.
We draw 2 stripes at an angle along the edges of the workpiece. One strip is from the very edge, the second is slightly retreating from the edge.
Cut it out to make a tie. This is a template.
Using a template, we cut out a tie from bright, beautiful paper.
Glue the tie to the shirt.
Draw a small pocket on black cardboard. We make side flaps on the sides of the pocket. Cut it out.
We bend the side flaps.
Cut out a small square from paper of the same color as the tie.
Glue the square on the back of the pocket.
Apply glue to the valves. Glue the pocket to the shirt.
Thanks to the valves, the pocket seems voluminous. All that remains is to sign the postcard.

We cut out 5 circles from colored paper (double-sided), with a diameter smaller than the part for the base.
Fold the parachute cups in half twice.
Apply glue to the edge of the parachute blank, bent in half, departing about 1 cm from the fold line.

The inscription "February 23" on a postcard
How to sign a postcard beautifully? If you have your own ideas, or you know the secret of a beautiful congratulatory inscription, tell us about it in the comments to the article. And in this section, I’m ready to help with the final touch – making an inscription. With such an inscription your card will look incredibly beautiful!
Plasticine tank.
It will be much easier to work with soft plasticine. Some tips if the plasticine has hardened.
You should resort to available heat:
- Just hold it in warm hands (if time allows);
- Knead gently;
- Place plasticine on the windowsill in sunny weather;
- Place it on a hot battery (necessarily on some kind of base);
- Use a microwave oven;
- Place the plasticine in a plastic bag moistened with water and keep it in a container of hot water.
As soon as the material is ready to work with, you can begin creating a tank of any model (at the creator’s choice). The article provides a step-by-step process for manufacturing a military unit.
