Spring is coming soon. And with it comes a thaw, birdsong, a light warm breeze and the first flowers. And March also presents us with an excellent occasion to please lovely women and give them presents by March 8th. Very original for this holiday will be a pink postcard in the form of a figure eight. The execution technique is completely simple, so you can teach your son or daughter and they will do the work for grandmother, sister or aunt.

For work, you need the simplest materials that are always at hand:
- a piece of thick cardboard;
- scissors (you can take a clerical knife);
- pink napkins (23 pieces);
- stapler;
- tube with PVA glue;
- a pencil.

simple materials


To get started, take a piece of thick cardboard and draw an eight on it. As a basis, you can choose a paper box for packing goods. How to draw a beautiful number 8? It is necessary to take a saucer, circle it along the contour - this is the lower circle, it is the largest. Then circle the cup on top - this is a smaller circle. Use it to draw a smaller circle in the center of the large one. And the glass will serve as the basis for the smallest circle. It is all very simple. But if you don’t want to select the radius of the circles for too long, then print the number 8 on the printer onto the entire sheet in A4 format and cut it along the contour. Then transfer the image to the cardboard.
