When we make gifts, we usually apply a greeting card to them. Of course you can buy it. But your family and loved ones will be much more pleasant to get a postcard made by your own hands.
Try the postcard do not draw, but to embroider. You can make it woolen threads or moulin, you can ribbons.
It is easiest on cardboard to embroider flowers. Below are several examples.
How to make an embroidered postcard? Violets from ribbons. They embroidered with simple stitches. Note the middle of the flower and make a hole in this place in this place. Around it 5 punctures at different distances from the center and from each other - the petals do not have the same to be the same. 4-7 mm width ribbon fuel in a needle with a long ear. The end of the tape can be fixed from the wrong side with glue.
Make 5 stitches, boiling the needle first to the center, and then at the end of the petal. Make a middle of a bead. Sunflower from threads. Draw two circumference on cardboard so that the smaller was larger. Glue black beads inside the smaller circle. Yellow threads make frequent stitches from the edge of a smaller circumference to the edge of more. To facilitate the operation of the opening can be done in advance.
In this colors, you can decorate only the angles of your card, you can embroider one or more in the center. The lettuce and leaves are embroidered with threads or draw.
