How to make a three-dimensional postcard. Volcano of hearts.
This card consists of two halves that are glued together.
You will need:
- colored paper
- thick paper
- scissors
- glue
*You can try to draw hearts yourself, but you need to know certain rules - they are listed below.
1.
Remove the large heart from the middle (it's right on the fold).
2.
Cut out the hearts, leaving only their folds intact (see picture).
3.
Make cuts on the hearts shown in the picture (gray lines on opposite hearts), this way you can fasten them.
* The card will close better if you cut the paper at the center fold and glue them separately to the base (the base is thick red paper that serves as the background for the card).
4.
Glue the halves to the base and connect the hearts in which you made the cuts.
Rules
*The sizes of the hearts on both sides are the same.
*The blue line in the diagram shows that the distance from the fold in the middle to the cut is the same, and the red lines indicate the same distance between the hearts close to the middle of the card.

Kids will be able to make such a cute applique; I will provide templates for this. It will be both the number “8” and a terry tulip. But there is one more trick - we will make a background for the picture. This will give the applique a more interesting look.
Print or trace the templates. You can simply cut and glue, or you can transfer it onto your own colored paper.
On dark blue A4 paper, use curly scissors to cut off the edges on all sides (cut off about 1cm).
Glue this sheet in the middle of a light blue sheet.
In the middle of the dark blue sheet we glue a “figure eight” cut out using a template.
Making a terry tulip:
- We prepare 8 tulip blanks according to the template: 4 green and 4 red. You can simply print and cut out the finished tulips.
- Glue the red buds with green stems and leaves. (if you didn’t print it, but used colored paper)
- We bend the workpieces in half.
Glue the halves of the tulip blanks to each other.

Glue it by the outer edges inside the card.
