Even the most expensive present cannot be compared to one made by hand. If you want to give a truly unforgettable and most pleasant gift for any occasion to your loved ones, then an original DIY postcard will be the best solution.
You need to prepare materials and tools such as:
1. Blue cardboard A5 (15x21 cm);
2. Double-sided blue cardboard;
3. Blue design paper with white polka dots (can be used with any discreet pattern);
4. Decorative blue ribbon with white polka dots;
5. Rhinestones - 1 blue piece;
6. Quilling paper - white, black, yellow;
7. Figured hole punch (preferably a flower);
8. Double-sided tape (it’s better to use foam tape);
9. Scissors, glue, tweezers, quilling tool.
First, let's get started with the most important element - the bee. To do this, take 8-10 cm black and yellow quilling paper and glue the strips together.

We begin to form the roll using a quilling tool. We do this as in the photo so that the result is a three-dimensional figure.

Carefully remove the part from the tool and fix it with glue so that the shape is not lost.

We make the second element from three pieces of quilling paper - black, yellow and again use black. Each segment is approximately 8 cm. The finished two volumetric elements should be connected to each other, forming the body of the bee. Cut 4 cm of black quilling paper and cut it lengthwise. Fold it in half and use a quilling tool to curl the edges to form a bee's antennae. Using scissors, cut out two small circles from white paper that will serve as eyes.
Next, take white quilling paper and make bee wings.

Now let's get down to the basics. Take blue cardboard and fold it carefully in half.
We cut out a rectangle from blue double-sided cardboard, the dimensions of which are 9x12.5 cm. We attach it to the base with double-sided foam tape.

From designer blue polka dot paper, cut out a shape measuring 5x11.5 cm, cutting off the corners. From the side of the cut corners, use a figured hole punch to make a tulip (or any other flower).

Take a decorative blue polka dot ribbon.

We cut 6-7 cm of ribbon and attach it to a figure made of designer paper. We glue the part with double-sided tape to the base of the card on top of the blue cardboard.

We make a bow from the same ribbon, decorating it in the center with a blue rhinestone.
