To complete the card you need to prepare:
1. Cardboard A4 saturated green;
2. Design cardboard green shade with any pattern;
3. Glue, scissors, a simple pencil, a quilling tool, tweezers;
4. Paper for quilling - red, black, white.
We fold A4 green cardboard in half, gently pressing it on a bend. This will be the basis for the postcard.
You need to cut the number 4 from the designer cardboard. To do this, on the back of the cardboard you need to draw the contours of the numbers “inside out” with a simple pencil, so that when cutting on the colored area, you get the number 4. Then, carefully cut the element and use glue to attach it to the green base.
We take red quilling paper, connect two strips 40 cm long with glue. We form a tight roll with a quilling tool.
Smear the edge with glue, fix.
We give the resulting roll a semicircular shape, gently pressing it with a finger on one side. Thus, the “shell” for the ladybug is obtained. We fix the element, lubricating the inside with glue.
There should be two elements of a smaller size (of two strips), and three (of three strips) of a larger size.
We take black quilling paper no more than 15 cm long and use the tool to form a roll.
We give it a semicircular shape, as in the photo. This will be the head of a ladybug.
A strip of black quilling paper is cut lengthwise into two equal strips. We measure 2.5 cm and cut into 5 segments, each of which is bent in half, then twist the edges with a quilling tool. Thus, the "antennae" of the ladybug is obtained.
In the same way, we perform the "legs", which are twisted on only one side. There should be 10 such elements.
Now we glue the body and head of each ladybug with glue. We attach the "antennae" to the ladybugs. It is better to do this with tweezers, since the elements are quite miniature and it will be difficult to do it with your hands.
Five ladybugs are almost ready.
Now we attach two of them legs, which should be six for each.
We cut the white quilling paper lengthwise, cut the pieces 3 cm long. From each segment, we carefully form the rolls with the quilling tool. These will be the eyes of ladybugs. Fasten with glue to the eyes of every ladybug.
Ladybugs are ready.
Using glue, we fix the elements obtained on the basis of the card. You can place them randomly at your discretion on the number or area of the very base of the card.
An original, bright, colorful do-it-yourself postcard is ready!
