For the holiday of Defenders of the Fatherland Day, kindergartens and schools begin to prepare in advance: educators and teachers need to come up with what their students will give to their beloved fathers and grandfathers, and children need to bring all these ideas to life under the strict guidance of adults.
We offer to congratulate a man on Defenders of the Fatherland Day with the most expensive gift - a postcard or drawing made by a child. What can kids do for their dads and grandfathers? Read in the article material.
How to draw a card for February 23rd with a pencil and paints for children?
In kindergarten, children learn to draw their first schematic drawings. Step-by-step lessons will help educators prepare gifts for fathers and grandfathers on February 23, because it is in preschool that children learn about the holiday and its meaning, and why men are congratulated on this day.
Let's start with the drawing. We will need:
- protractor (we will use it to draw a star)
- a compass or other device that can be used to draw a circle
Let's move on to drawing:
- Draw a circle and draw two lines in it that will divide it into 4 equal sections.
- We measure 72 degrees on a protractor and draw a line inside along two opposite sections.
We measure 72 degrees on a protractor and draw a line - Again we measure 72 degrees from the already drawn line and draw a second straight line, and then a third.
We repeat - In order not to get confused, we mark with dots what we are measuring and from what. How to draw the lines correctly can be seen in the photo.
- We should have 10 identical sections. Let's draw a dash in the middle of each line (through one straight line). Draw a star and slightly round the corners.
- Use an eraser to erase the circle and additional lines inside the star. Draw an outline around the star.
Draw a line along the entire contour - Now let's draw a St. George's ribbon with edges curved down. Let's continue the edges of the ribbon on both sides of the star.
Drawing a ribbon - We draw three parallel black lines on each part of the tape. We turn the schematic drawing into a postcard by decorating the star and ribbon, and adding the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day.”
We bring the ends of the tape to the edges of the sheet 
Drawing stripes on tape Video: Simple drawings. Soldier
An excellent drawing on the theme of Defender of the Fatherland Day - a valiant soldier at his post. Such a drawing will decorate both a postcard and a school wall newspaper prepared for the holiday.
For the drawing you will need:
- blank sheet of paper
- simple pencil
- colored pencils
- ruler
- Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing a vertical line down the center. The left side should be slightly narrower than the right. Draw an oval in the upper third. This will be the head. Below it we draw the outline of the future collar.
- Focusing on the preliminary markings, we draw in detail the soldier’s head, which is wearing a hat with earflaps. Add the neck and shoulders. The soldier will be wearing a pea coat, so let's outline his outline.
- We draw a face and hands. We complete the small details of the clothing.
- Don't forget to draw our defender the machine gun he is holding in his hands. First we’ll sketch out the lines, and then we’ll draw in more detail. The photo shows what needs to be depicted.
- Now you need to draw the protective colors of the uniform and the outline of the banner in the background.
- We write on the left side of the sheet the inscription “Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day” and specify the background.
- After that, all that remains is to decorate the drawing.
If the previous drawing is difficult to draw, then the child can cope with the schematic image of the tank presented in the step-by-step lesson below without the help of adults.
- For the drawing you will need pencils and a sheet of paper. It is better to use a checkered notebook sheet. This will make it easier for the child to navigate and draw all the lines correctly.
- Let's draw the barrel of the tank: in the center of the sheet we will draw a line 4-5 cm long, and above it, at a distance of about 1 cm, another parallel one.
- Let's connect the lines on the left side, and draw the beginning of the barrel with an oval on the right side.
- Let's start drawing the tank turret. To do this, step back down 1 cm and at a distance of about 1/3 from the length of the barrel, draw an elongated rectangle 10-12 cm long. Step back from the edge of the base by about 0.5 cm, put dots and connect them in a semicircle.
- Below we draw the base of the tank caterpillar. How to do this is shown in the photo. Inside the base we draw 5 circles and sketch them with a black pencil.
Drawing a tank caterpillar track 
Paint the 5 circles at the base of the tracks with black. - Let's draw a star in the center of the tower and a flying flag on a long pole. We paint the tank green, the star red and add an inscription.

Video: Postcard to Dad for February 23, Military Airplane
A schoolchild can easily cope with the “Warship” drawing, which will be a good gift for dad or grandfather if tanks and planes have already been given to the heroes of the holiday.
Since Defender of the Fatherland Day once had the name “Day of the Soviet Army and Navy,” it is celebrated by all military personnel: both on land and at sea.
This is what we will draw:
First, let's prepare everything you need:
- blank sheet of paper
- a simple pencil and a black felt-tip pen
- colored pencils or available paints
- Divide the sheet into two halves by drawing a horizontal line. Do not forget that we draw all the preliminary contours without pressing the pencil, so that later there will be no trace of the erased lines.
- We will draw the ship in the lower half. First, let's draw a wavy line that will represent the surface of the water. Let's draw the stern with all the necessary protrusions.
- On the left side of the stern we will draw a cannon. In the central part of the stern we will add the following elements: captain's cabin and radar. They are not difficult to draw if you exactly repeat all the lines, as in the photo.
- At the bottom of the captain's cabin we will draw a battery of torpedoes and add a row of portholes.
- We draw a flying flag and, to make the picture more realistic, add a couple of birds flying in the distance.
- You can stop here and move on to coloring. But this is not enough for a greeting card: you will also have to add an inscription.
- You need to color the drawing like this: a warship - blue-gray, water - blue, draw a red stripe at the bottom of the ship and select the right colors to depict the national flag.

Ideas and templates of cards for February 23rd in kindergarten
- The issue of preparing for the holiday on February 23 begins to worry kindergarten teachers and school teachers long before its onset. It is only at first glance that it seems that there is nothing difficult in choosing the appropriate option for a gift.
- But this is not at all true, since the process of creating a craft or a postcard with your own hands, which children will then give to their dearest people - dads and grandfathers, should captivate them, and therefore they should immediately abandon complex elements or multi-tiered paper structures.
- A simple but original postcard or craft will appeal much more to both the little “creators” of the masterpiece and adults. What gifts can you prepare for the holiday on February 23 with children in kindergarten - see the photo selection below.
Cover for postcard 
Ideas and templates for postcards for February 23rd to school
Children at school already know how to do a lot, and therefore a simple image of a tank or an airplane will not bring as much pleasure as creating a postcard with your own hands with a surprise, retractable parts, special appliqué, etc.
See the photo selection below of gifts for the holiday on February 23rd, made by schoolchildren, and get inspired!
- Cut out a star from red colored paper. To make it voluminous, you need to bend the “ears” that will be glued to the postcard. The star is bent along the lines with the outer edges outward and the inner edges inward.
- Glue the star on the wrong side of the card (spread).
- We will decorate with stripes cut from golden colored paper. Let's also make the little star golden.
- Glue 3 golden stripes vertically and horizontally onto the front side of the card, as shown in the photo. Glue a gold star next to it. To ensure that the strips stick evenly, it is better to first mark with a dotted line the places where they should be.
How to fold a star correctly - A voluminous card can also be made using the quilling technique. To make a postcard, in addition to paper (colored and white), you will need toothpicks, glue and scissors.
- Fold the sheet so that one part is slightly longer. We write large numbers of the holiday date on it. The two should be on the front of the card. After the two is drawn, we add a three on the second page of the postcard. Cut out the numbers along the outer edge.
- We prepare “curls” from strips of colored paper. To make them, you need to “stick” a strip of colored paper onto a toothpick and twist it. How to paste the resulting curls onto a postcard can be seen in the photo.
- We apply each spiral with the glued side to the numbers, trying not to leave large gaps between the curls. Add an asterisk between the numbers and sign the card.
- Draw a boat or print a ready-made template on double-sided cardboard.
- Cut out some areas in the picture.
- Fold the card along the fold line.
- Using a felt-tip pen, draw a dotted line along the edges of the postcard and the image of the boat.
What card should I make for my brother for February 23?
You can surprise your brother with an original “Ship” postcard.

For a brother who has not yet served in the army, you can make a shirt card.
Video: DO IT YOURSELF / Postcard - SHIRT /Gift for FEBRUARY 23
You need to congratulate your beloved men, grandfathers and fathers on Defender of the Fatherland Day in a special way. A handmade postcard will perfectly express love and respect. Some of them will require the painstaking work of the mother, others can be made even by a child. Choose according to your taste!
A postcard in the form of a men's suit, shirt, tie is a classic option that is suitable for congratulating the father of the family not only on February 23, but also on his birthday and any other holiday.
You can make a complicated card with many details that your imagination suggests. Or you can limit yourself to a simple scheme that children can easily handle under the guidance of an adult. So, let's stock up on colored paper - and get to work!
You can put a congratulation inside the card on a separate sheet, or write it on the card itself.
A shirt made using the origami technique can be glued onto a regular postcard.
The simplest option for making a shirt postcard: we make cuts on the sides and fold the edges of the “collar” towards the middle.
It is somewhat more difficult to make a postcard in the shape of a man's jacket. Below is a diagram of how to fold the paper.
Another folding pattern - this time you will end up with a shirt-shaped envelope. You can put your own baked cookies inside.
A real man looks great in a tie. Here is a diagram for folding a tie from colored paper.
The tie can be secured under the collar of a paper shirt.
The green shirt makes one think of a military uniform. After all, the holiday is dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland!
The symbolism of the holiday on February 23 suggests a military theme. Therefore, stars, ribbons, weapons and military equipment would be appropriate. Khaki color and colorful camouflage will complete the look.
With the help of the proposed scan it will be easier to make this spectacular postcard.
Postcards that gain volume when opened look interesting. Hidden inside this postcard is a ship rushing across the waves straight towards the viewer. The main difficulty in manufacturing is to correctly glue the three-dimensional elements so that the card can fold and open; Therefore, before gluing, check the functionality of the elements. Rubber glue is good for this purpose, because... it allows you to adjust the position of the glued parts without damaging the paper.
Invite your child to decorate the card with the sun, clouds, and flying seagulls. It would be useful to equip the ship with an anchor and a life preserver!
This card using the through-cutting technique () can be done by more experienced needlewomen, but it is very impressive and will decorate dad’s desk!
Below is a template for cutting out a postcard with a sailboat.
The vytynankas look very good against a contrasting background. You can make such a card together with your child: the mother will cut out the thin details, and let the child stick on the letters and numbers.
A white backing sheet is glued in so that the protrusions are perceived against a smooth, contrasting background. And on the next page you can place a congratulation.
The popular quilling technique can also become the basis of a postcard. Look how fun the congratulation looks against the backdrop of festive fireworks!
Silhouettes cut out of paper (colored or white) can be pasted onto a contrasting background to create an original postcard.
Cutting templates can be chosen according to your mood. For example, in a serious style.
Or in a humorous way.
Or even historical.
Military equipment can also be used.
If these pictures seem too complicated for you to use as cutting templates, then simply print them out (most pictures will be larger than they appear on the screen when saved) and offer them to your child as a coloring book. The painted drawings can be pasted onto a postcard and given to dad or grandfather.
What cards to make for February 23rd with your own hands for your beloved father, grandfather, brother? How to congratulate a sailor, a pilot, or someone who wears a jacket and tie, but only held a virtual or toy weapon in his hands? We tell and show.
In Russia, International Women's Day is celebrated on a grand scale (though not at all in the way Clara Zetkin bequeathed), and its European counterpart, Mother's Day, has also taken root. For men, there is only one such holiday - Defenders of the Fatherland Day, and even to this day there are debates: whether it is necessary to congratulate all men on it or only the military. We think yes, it is necessary and tell you how to make cards for February 23rd with your own hands.
Today we will show you how to make origami cards for February 23rd, how to make a postcard in 5 minutes, how to cut out voluminous surprise postcards with space invaders or postcards with fighter planes and ships for Defenders Day (for those who are familiar with the basics of scrapbooking).
Po-o-o-rode-i-i-i!
In the “8 bit” style: do-it-yourself voluminous postcards for February 23
We will start with the most common type of troops in the country: virtual, or computer. If your dad had a "Sega" or "Dandy" console, he will definitely appreciate a pop-up card with a space invader or a scalp.
To make a postcard for February 23rd in the “8 bit” style with your own hands, you will need 3 sheets of colored paper or cardboard, a ruler, a cutter or scalpel, a piece of tape, glue and a printed template.
Fold 2 sheets in half and set one aside for now. Print out the card template, line up the center line with the fold, and use a ruler to make cuts along the red lines. Then bend along the green lines. Glue the blank to the second folded sheet, and use the third to make an envelope. The more intrigue, the more interesting the gift.
Done, you are amazing!
Parade of equipment: do-it-yourself postcards for February 23
If you have time, patience and colorful paper, and your dad or grandfather is a real military man with real shoulder straps, make him a more complex surprise card for Defenders of the Fatherland Day. The materials are the same (just no tape needed).
On the day of the beginning, you need to correctly bend the sheet for the future postcard for February 23 (see master class). The next step is gluing the stripes: red, blue and green background for the surprise tab. Decorate the “face” of the card with a bronze-colored branch applique.
Next, you need to cut out a “pedestal” for the equipment, glue it to the fold of the postcard and attach figures of tanks, airplanes, etc. to it. The do-it-yourself postcard is almost ready - all that remains is to cut out and glue the numbers, stars and make “berries” from lumps of paper to the branch.
Origami postcards for February 23 in the form of shirts
If your real dad has nothing to do with the army and seems to have been born in a jacket and white shirt, fold it for him for February 23, an origami postcard in the form of a shirt.
An origami postcard is very easy to make. Just keep in mind that as you work, the sheet will shrink many times over, so it’s better to take a large and fairly thin sheet of paper. This card is essentially an envelope card, so you can put a note of congratulations or a small gift (like movie tickets) inside.
You can glue ties or bow ties, pockets, buttons to the finished one - in a word, make them even more like the real thing.
Similar shirt cards can be made even simpler. If you don’t have a large sheet of paper, but have cardboard, it’s better to stick with them.
And here the postcard-shirt is also complemented by a jacket. And for a sailor on February 23, you can make a postcard with a vest.
A Hawaiian card will suit a dad with a good sense of humor.
And for a dandy dad and a favorite of women, you can make a stylish card with a pocket.
DIY postcards for February 23rd for grandfather
And this postcard with a three-dimensional star should really please grandfathers. It is very concise and simple, and for it you only need a sheet of cardboard and paper of 2 colors. The template is attached - you need to print it out.
Grandfather will definitely appreciate lovingly hand-cut postcards for February 23rd with fighter planes or sailboats.
Cards you can make at the last minute
Option number 1 - postcard with pasta. They need to be painted, glued, signed - and that’s it, ready.
Options No. 2 and 3 - a postcard for February 23 with a star (you will need mom's help to sew them on, but this is a matter of minutes) and a postcard consisting of a base and several strips of colored tape - very stylish.
Choose a postcard to suit your taste and delight your defenders!

Initially, February 23 was still considered a holiday for those men who are associated with the military sphere. Now, this is a holiday for all males, so everyone needs to be congratulated: grandfathers, fathers, brothers. And, most importantly, put a piece of your soul into this congratulation, so I want to come up with something original and solemn.
Of course, more often such cards are made by children; mothers only supervise the progress of the work. But you can turn it into a masterpiece if you use different techniques and call on the entire reserve of your accuracy. By the way, there is one for this holiday.
I want to inspire you with different ideas so that you can put your business aside and get creative.
In our kindergarten, children are not yet given homework; they try to make themed greetings themselves, but sometimes the child himself asks on the weekend to make an applique or a postcard. Then you also have to look for ideas that are not difficult to repeat, but also show the child how aesthetically pleasing the result looks.
Of course, most often children remember that they need to make a postcard when they go to bed, and it must be submitted tomorrow. So let's look at a few easy ideas that will take no more than half an hour of your time together to implement.
For example, create a greeting with a three-dimensional Russian flag. I know that at this age kids still cannot cut straight along the lines, so you will have to prepare the blanks in advance.
Use scissors with jagged edges.
The cardboard is folded in half and a backing is glued to the front side.
A black strip is glued diagonally, which will serve as the basis for the flag.
Three stripes of the same size (about 4 cm) in the colors of the Russian flag are cut separately: white, blue, red.
These strips are glued only at the ends, creating a small arch.
If it is difficult for a child to explain how to make such a flag, then use a simplified version.
Take red paper and toothpicks.
Cut a small strip of paper measuring 3*1 cm and fold it in half.
Make two cuts near the edge that did not become folded and glue this flag to the toothpick.
It's very easy to replicate the following idea.
You will need two strips of cardboard of the same width, but different lengths. A number is cut out from one edge. Next, glue both halves at the beginning.
I also liked one idea. The execution results in a very mature and strict design. But it is also done quickly.
We roll up the cardboard - the base.
We take smaller paper and cut out a star and a slot in the middle for the inscription.
Before gluing the two sides, write text in the place where the slot is.
You can mark this place with a pencil.
How to make voluminous cards for school with your own hands
Volumetric congratulations always look more original than the usual flat ones. But it also takes more time to create them. They have more details, so these options are more suitable for schoolchildren.
For example, the idea with a boat and an anchor looks very nice.
To do this, you can print a template, cut out the ship, waves and anchor according to the internal diagrams.
Transfer the drawing to colored paper and carefully use a stationery knife to repeat the inner lines of the drawing.
Then you need to bend the cardboard in color and place it with the fold up.
Glue paper with a cut out ship onto the front side of the cardboard. You can use contrasting cardboard.
Paste a white sheet of paper inside on which you can write a congratulation.
Interesting options include three-dimensional images of balloons and ships.
For example, on this postcard a boat is made using the origami technique. And on the basis of it the entire composition is created.
Here is a detailed diagram of the order in which you need to fold the sheet.
Or such an interesting option with a 3D ship.
I would also like to show you a sweet version of a three-dimensional congratulation.
I think that our defenders will definitely appreciate this!
Beautiful congratulations from paper for dad on February 23
I would also like to congratulate dad in a very unusual way. For example, giving a card that requires very painstaking work.
To create it, you need to take a sheet of cardboard and bend it in half.
Then draw 3 squares, measuring 2.5 * 2.5 cm. Inside which you can draw thematic objects: an anchor, a steering wheel, a balloon, an airplane, a ship, a clock or a star. You can draw it yourself, but I’ll give you a template.
Then carefully cut along the contour with a sharp blade or stationery knife.
Paste a congratulation printed on a white sheet of paper inside.
You can make a card in the form of a shirt and tie.
They are different, for example, those with a drawn tie.
Or with a jacket.
You will see a template for such a postcard just below in the corresponding section.
Let's create such an orange, bright postcard ourselves.
For this we need double-sided cardboard and one sheet of colored paper.
Fold the sheet in half. On the front side, at the fold, we make a cut at a distance of 3 cm from the edge.
On the back side of the sheet we completely cut off a line 3 cm wide. This way the collar of the shirt will protrude above the postcard.
Now we also retreat 3 cm from the sides and make horizontal cuts 3 cm long. We bend their ends inward.
It's time for the tie.
We need a square of double-sided colored paper, measuring 15*15 cm.
We fold it diagonally.
Then we turn the ends to the resulting fold.
Turn the tip up.
Now we turn the end inward, as in the photo.
We bend the edges towards ourselves and push them inside with our finger.
Now we reduce the width of the free edge of the tie by tucking the sides.
We glue the resulting part onto the postcard.
Contrasting colors look very nice: black and white.
Also, to achieve greater similarity, use a sheet of velvet paper as a basis.
DIY greeting cards using scrapbooking technique
Congratulations created using the scrapbooking technique are very rich and unusual.
When many different parts with different textures are used. Anything will do here: wallpaper, twine, buttons, wood. Of course, it is better to choose a color scheme that combines well with different colors.
You can even sew on some decoration elements using a sewing machine.
I also like the option of wooden cards. But due to the fact that not everyone knows how to cut from it and does not have a special milling machine, let’s take this design as a basis. And we will replace the wood with thick cardboard, which is sold in stores for handicrafts and creativity.
Or such a cool idea.
Because this card looks very noble and expensive.
Schemes and templates for postcards for February 23
I have prepared several templates with congratulatory inscriptions. Which you can print and use in your creativity.
Template for creating a star for this greeting.
Take a sheet of paper and stick two strips on it for the St. George ribbon.
Then cut out the star according to the template.
You tuck its edges using your finger and a ruler. Then, using the same ruler, we bend each ray of the star in half.
You need to start along a line from top to bottom. As in the photo. This will make 5 lines from each end.
Now we make these lines more visible with our fingers and begin to glue the star to the blank with St. George ribbons.
All that remains is to cut out only one star and find the right place for it in the overall picture.
Now I want to show the inscription options.
This template can be printed on colored paper.
Another idea for congratulations.
Set of fonts.
Also a diagram for cutting out an airplane.
Template for unusual cards. Figures in squares need to be cut out.
Scheme of a small postcard.
Template for a postcard - a jacket. 
Take note of ready-made solutions.
Original applications for Defender of the Fatherland Day
Nowadays, applications with congratulations using the origami technique are very popular.
Here is a diagram for creating a greeting in the form of a shirt.
Here is another very cute idea for an applique in the shape of hands.
We will need two sheets of cardboard.
Trace your left arm and cut it out.
And we fold it in half, then in half again, to make a small accordion. We tuck the ends because we will glue them to our palms.
Now you need to decorate the front side of the applique.
Glue the edge of the accordion to one palm, the other edge to the other palm.
The applique is not at all complicated, but it will be very interesting for children to make.
There are a lot of options for original postcards for men, the main thing is to choose the one that best suits the character of your men.
For example, our dad perceives this holiday purely in the colors of camouflage and vest, so we choose the color background of the cards accordingly.
If you do not want to focus on the military past of the holiday, then you can create such interesting options with stylized features of a man: a hat, monocle, mustache or cane.
I would like to know your opinion on the entire selection of ideas. Bookmark the article to repeat your favorite illustration with children.

One of my family’s favorite men’s holidays is February 23, and my children and I always make cards for February 23 with our own hands to our family and friends. Perhaps someone will say that it is easier to buy ready-made cards, but children really like making them, so we do it together.
By the way, from several acquaintances I heard a version that only those who served in the army should be congratulated, but I do not support this point of view - every man is a defender of the fatherland.
What to depict
To make a beautiful one with your child with your own hands, first of all you need to choose the subject of the product. If the man for whom the gift is intended served in any troops, then you can choose any suitable symbolism.A similar option:
And if not, then you can simply choose a courageous symbol - for example, my son often draws horses for his grandfather, my brother receives cards with a tank because of his addiction to the famous game.
Choose an artistic style of work and get started - production will not take much time, and your loved ones will be happy with such a gift for a long time.
Option with applique
Various inscriptions for downloading:
Making an applique is quite simple - you can look at a photo of a postcard you like and repeat. But if you definitely want to do everything from scratch, then follow the instructions.
- On plain paper (you can also check it), first make a sketch of the future postcard - determine in advance the shape and color of all elements, location and composition, work out the shape.
- Make a pattern for each element (especially if you do it with a child - it’s easier for them to trace the finished pattern). To do this, draw all the elements on one sheet of thick paper or even cardboard (if you plan to use the pattern multiple times), mark the front side and cut out with a sharp craft knife or good scissors.
- Choose a base for your card. This could be a piece of thick cardboard or even ordinary white Whatman paper, special paper or a piece of paper from a watercolor album.
- Give the blank the desired shape - trim the corners, trim the edges, make a creasing - a groove along which the card will be folded. To do this, you need to draw a line along the ruler with any non-writing pointed object. The most commonly used pen is an old ballpoint pen.
- Select colored paper for the applique and cut out the necessary elements. You can use regular colored paper, you can buy shiny or velvet, neon or glitter.
We always have scrapbooking paper at home and I let the kids grab a few sheets for their cards. And if you really need a certain color of paper that you don’t have on hand, you can always just mix the paints and paint the desired piece of paper.
- Consistently lubricate the elements with glue and glue them in the right places, carefully smoothing them with a dry, clean cloth.
- Place the applique under the press to remove excess waves from the glue.
- Don't forget to sign the card.
Another option (it’s better to make such a card from thick cardboard):
Volumetric work techniques
A beautiful handmade card for your beloved dad on February 23 can be voluminous. Think about how you or your child would like to add volume to the card - it could be quilling, voluminous appliqué, or even a card that becomes voluminous when unfolded.I sometimes help children make cards using the scrapbooking technique, but much more I like to watch what they come up with themselves - so if the child is not averse to imagining, be sure to listen to his wishes.
Quilling
This technique is the easiest way to make a three-dimensional card, especially since you don’t have to come up with any special plot, quilling in itself is very attractive, so it’s enough to simply depict the date of the holiday using this technique. However, if you want, you can schematically depict something .
To make greeting cards using the quilling technique, you will need to purchase or make a blank for the postcard, as well as strips of paper for quilling - you can buy them ready-made. You can choose colors to suit your taste - these can be classic khaki shades, symbolizing a military uniform, or any others that seem appropriate.
Paper cutting
Volumetric cards are always very impressive, and therefore it is not surprising that a child may want to make just such a card. A voluminous postcard for February 23 with your own hands can be quite complicated - if you chose this option, then it is better to watch the video tutorial.Or you can use a sketch you made yourself - especially when you plan to make a folding card.
For example, you can draw on paper some plot that is not too difficult to cut out, and make a postcard that can be placed on a table or shelf. Another one is glued to the carved part - the back one, and you get a beautiful figured congratulation.
You can try to make a postcard with a three-dimensional structure in the middle - for example, cutting out a ship on the waves and gluing it together is not too difficult.
Or you can simply make a three-dimensional applique - the cut-out elements are glued not with glue, but with special adhesive pads and springs, and then the decorative elements will lag slightly behind the paper.
And a few more ideas for inspiration:
Now you know how to make a card that every father will be happy to receive!
