Postcard in the form of a jacket by hand. Postcards for men of an unusual form. What materials can be used

In this article we will tell you how to make a jacket out of paper. This decor is a great addition to a postcard for a man for any holiday: from the twenty-third of February to his birthday and even the new year. All you need is a couple of sheets of paper, cardboard, a little free time and effort. So, let's look at several options for creating such crafts.

Method one

You will need:

  • Cardboard or plain white A4 paper. The most important thing is that it be dense.
  • Colored paper.
  • Scissors.
  • Simple pencil.
  • Ruler.
  • Markers.
  • Eraser.
  • Satin ribbon.
  • Glue gun.
  • Buttons.

How to proceed:

  1. Before you create a paper jacket with your own hands, you need to make a drawing. It will make the whole process much easier.
  2. In the middle of the sheet, draw a rectangle with sides of 16 and 11 centimeters. On the sides of it are rectangles with parameters of 6 and 16 centimeters.
  3. Cut out the resulting shape. Bend along the drawn lines The upper part of the main rectangle should be slightly rounded with scissors.
  4. Thus, you should get something like a book. Gently fold the edges - this will be the collar of our jacket.
  5. The next step is to create the collar for the shirt. To arrange it, we make a drawing - we draw a rectangle with sides of 14 and 4 centimeters. Let's cut it out.
  6. Draw a diagonal vertically and bend the figure along this line.
  7. After you need to bend the edges, giving the shape of the collar. We attach it to our workpiece.
  8. Now take half of A4 sheet and fold it in half. On one of the inner sides we write poems with congratulations, and then we glue the sheet inside the jacket - it will be a shirt.

That's all! Your postcard is almost ready - the only thing left is the decor:

  1. We knit a tie from a satin ribbon and glue it to the collar of the shirt.
  2. We attach buttons and small pockets cut out of paper to the jacket.

Method two

First, prepare the items that you will need in the course of work. Among them:

  • Album sheets or white A4 paper.
  • Colored paper - in our case it is brown and red, but you can use any other colors of your choice.
  • Scissors.
  • Glue stick.
  • Simple pencil.
  • Threads.
  • Thin satin ribbon.

A master class on how to create a card-jacket with a tie with your own hands:

  • The first step is to write a congratulation text on a sheet of A4 paper. Then roll it into a tube horizontally. In the middle, carefully secure with a small and thin piece of tape.
  • Now let's start creating a jacket. To do this, wrap the tube with brown paper, but leave a small place untouched (about ¼).
  • From red paper we cut out small triangles at an angle of ninety degrees and strong them on the jacket - this will be the collar.

Important! Also, from red paper, you need to cut out small pockets, buttons and glue them to the jacket.

  • The last moment is to tie a tie from a satin ribbon and attach it to our design.

Method three

The third idea, how to create a card in the form of a jacket with your own hands, is somewhat more complicated than the previous ones. However, the result is quite interesting. If everything is done carefully, then such a present can be presented even to the boss.

First of all, of course, you need to prepare everything you need:

  • White cardboard.
  • Blue cardboard.
  • Sheets A4.
  • Blue colored paper.
  • Scissors.
  • Glue stick.

Your actions:

  1. Our postcard will consist of three parts - a shirt, a vest and a jacket.
  2. We'll start with the shirt. Take an A4 sheet, cut it into two pieces horizontally. We only need one. Write your congratulations on it, then fold it in half and carefully fix it on the side with a small piece of tape.
  3. From white cardboard, cut out a rectangle with sides of 2.5 and 10 centimeters. Bend it along a vertical line and turn the edges a little, imitating a collar. Glue it to our "shirt".
  4. Now it's the turn of the vest. First, it is recommended to make a template, according to which you can already cut out the details from blue cardboard. Glue the vest onto the shirt. From above we sculpt buttons and pockets from a blue colored sheet.
  5. We also cut out a tie from colored paper, glue its beginning at the collar and tuck it into the vest.
  6. The queue was only for the jacket. Cut out a rectangle in the shape of the shirt and wrap it around. At the top we imitate a collar. We cut out a button from the same material, glue it.
  7. The postcard is ready.

Important! To prevent it from opening when not required, put a small paperclip on the bottom. To make it invisible, its shade must be combined with the color scheme of the postcard itself.


In general, there is nothing complicated here. I hope I can explain everything clearly and intelligibly. I apologize in advance for the quality of the photo - in daylight I can’t soft-photograph, but in the evening this is what happens (((
We will make this postcard:


For this we need the following materials:

Watercolor paper (2 sheets) or cardboard or thick paper (only that both sides are white);

- 1 sheet of pastel paper (this will be our jacket);

- glue (I personally love the crystal moment);

- scissors or a cutter (I needed both);

-creasing tool (any pen without ink, a crochet hook will do; I have this dots for nail art);

- satin ribbon (2.5 cm wide - if you make more, you will have to increase the width of the collar; about 40 cm (in reserve));

- ruler;

- scrapbooking paper (checkered or striped, for a vest);

- buttons.



I have Tiziano pastel paper, the color is grayish blue (you can’t even see it in the photo).

For the vest we used Ursus paper, retro motif.

We take pastel paper. According to the scheme, we draw lines with scoring.



The line with circles shows the line of further fold. Here is what we should get:

It probably doesn't look very good. We turn the sheet over and again draw lines with scoring, according to the diagram.


And the result:

Now we fold the jacket along the marked lines. The skirts of the jacket are inward, and the collar is outward. Here's what should happen:

For now, put the jacket aside and take care of the shirt. Take a sheet of watercolor and cut a piece out of it:

The dotted line shows the cut lines.
We will need it for words of congratulations.
Now we take the second sheet and cut it according to the scheme:

Do not forget that the line with circles indicates the line along which the score should be drawn. Please note that all this is done from the wrong (!!!) side.
We turn along the bottom line.


And now for the top.


And now we turn the collar of the shirt

Moreover, the collar should look at the front side of the watercolor paper (which is rough).
We unfold it back and proceed to the tie.
First, I seared the edges of the tape so that they would not bloom.
From the back side, we bend the collars, put the tape there * inside out down), leaving a small tail (cm 4) and a long one.

Then we bend the collar and turn the shirt over.
We cross the ribbons so that the long end is on top (for those who can tie a tie themselves, you can skip it).

Holding the ribbon with your fingers, we stretch the long end under the crossed ribbons.

Then we pass the tape from above:

And again below:

We pass the remaining end from the bottom up under the knot:

And loop it like this:

Now it remains to tighten and the tie is ready:

Of course, the tape will not make a real tie triangle ... Because it is too thin.
Then I glue the short tip (even doubled) to the paper so that it is not visible. I also glue the lower part of the tie to the paper (we will cover this part with a vest anyway). Leave the upper part immediately below the knot without gluing - this will add additional volume to the postcard.

Now it's the turn of the vest. Cut it out according to the template:

Curved lines I drew on the leukal.
We got 2 such blanks:

Everyone loves to receive gifts! But giving, choosing or making them with your own hands is even more pleasant! In addition, this process is a real art! For any men's holiday, an original present in the form of postcards. I bring to your attention an unusual option « Postcard-jacket» !

We will need:

satin ribbon, glue, buttons, three types of colored cardboard.

As a basis for postcards I took blue cardboard with delicate shiny patterns. For decor, I used foil blue paper and blue velvet.

Cut out the template for the jacket. We mark the fold lines, select the shoulders with small corners, as shown in the photo.


From blue foil paper we cut out a jacket that fits in size -

inner vest. I made pockets from velvet cardboard.


Bend the left and right sides of the cardboard inward. It turns out postcard. On each side, we bend the corners from above - these are the lapels of the jacket. We decorate the jacket. We glue the vest, pockets, as well as velvet lapels.


And that's what happens!


Let's move on to the collar. Cut out a small rectangle out of paper postcard. Bend along and fold.



We make a bow from a satin ribbon, glue it to the collar. Connecting the collar postcard. Add buttons. They can be glued either to the jacket itself or to the vest.

I cut out a tie from velvet paper.

Postcard is ready. It remains only to add wishes and you can give!

Today I want to share with you the making of a postcard for the upcoming Easter holiday :) After all, it is just around the corner! And the educator.

Oh, and a difficult task for women when they are going to congratulate men on the holiday. And it doesn’t even matter what holiday it is, and how to prepare for it, the result remains the same, it’s hard to decide on a gift. After all, you always want to be a very original person and bring real pleasure with your gift. What do they usually give men? They can give money, or you can give a bottle of your favorite collectible skate, and it can also be some very rare and rare item from any men's collection, or perfume, etc. It seems that, at first glance, there is a choice of gifts, but it is still very difficult to decide. But still, any souvenir must be complemented by a postcard with wishes. Moreover, you can just show all your imagination and creativity with the help of a handmade postcard.

We will not delay for a long time, but right now we will start making very interesting, and most importantly, truly masculine postcards in the form of shirts. For the master class we take:
On a sheet of blue and brown cardboard under the skin, A4 format;
Scrapbook paper in dark masculine tones;
Template for vest and shirt;
Ribbons satin dove and beige 5 cm wide;
Cardboard milky and light salad;
Metal watch pendants;
Bradsiks are metal;
Stamped inscriptions "Happy Birthday";
Acrylic buttons, 3 pieces light green and blue;
Adhesive with adhesive tape effect;
Scissors, glue gun, ruler, pencil.


The principle of creating such postcards is to make jackets with matching shirts, as if they were living silhouettes of men. Our jackets will be blue and brown, our shirts will be milky and salad green, and our ties will be blue and beige. We measure rectangles for shirts 14.5 by 19 cm.



As in the diagram, we make cuts on the sides, and fold the collars. From scrapbook paper according to the scheme, you need to cut out along the vest.



Glue vests onto shirts. The inside of our composition is ready, we sew vests on a typewriter, except for the necks.



Now from cardboard, we now need to prepare jackets. We make the jackets 19 cm high, retreat 7.5 cm on the sides and draw fold lines.



Also, we need to draw bending lines for the jacket, as in the photo.



We wrap the collar of the jacket.



We insert a shirt with a vest inside, we do the same with a blue jacket.



We glue according to the inscription on the front of the jacket “Happy Birthday”, we sew the edges of the jacket in front. Now we cut out two squares 14 by 14 cm from scrap paper, if there is a hole punch, then we make them figured along one edge.



We also make two leaves for congratulations 10.5 by 15 cm, glue at the top, too, according to the inscription and sew. Now we glue the pockets on the back of the jackets.

Here is my new article on men's postcards in the form of a shirt, as I promised you. There are many different ideas and I will try to give you as many options as possible for your creativity. Therefore, I collected various options from various sources. In fact, these are all greeting cards for men: dad, grandfather, brother, husband, boss, colleague, friend, boyfriend & hellip,

Making these postcards will not take you much time. Before starting work, prepare the necessary materials: double-sided colored paper, paper with colorful patterns, ribbons, buttons. You can use such crafts not only as a postcard. I will explain further.

Let's take a look at the options!

postcard shirt

This is a modified version of the postcard from the previous article. In those postcards, the fold line was vertical, then horizontal. All other actions have not changed. Cuts must be made below the fold line. The postcard will not fall into two parts, since the cuts are small, and the resulting collar will not allow this. Well, it's too simple for a postcard.

Postcard shirt with tie

I really like this option. Very elegant and aesthetic. By adding a shirt with a tie, a jacket or a vest, we change the whole look of the postcard. The first two copies are postcards with one main horizontal fold. Further, the card is similar to a double-leaf wardrobe, but not in appearance, but in the way the card is opened. I must have completely confused you. I think, having examined the picture, you will understand everything yourself, without my comments.

With each following sample, the postcard gradually becomes more complicated.

Two new elements have been added to these pictures. First, it's a tie. Please pay attention to the tie, see? Replacing a paper tie with a satin ribbon, the postcard seemed to be transformed. Agree that this is not just a postcard, but a whole work of art. Secondly, congratulatory words are not written on the shirt itself, but as if inside it. The shirt is folded at the bottom and the back wall is glued to the jacket. Also a couple of little things added an inner pocket and a vest.

Look at these amazing postcards. It may not be postcards, but a menu or a concert program. Speech for a speech can be made in the form of such a postcard.

Postcard envelope for money

It is very easy to make a postcard-envelope with your own hands. It will look a bit like origami, but the result will be prettier.

How to make an envelope postcard?

All stages will be depicted clearly in the photographs. Let's start with the basic shirt. Choose the right color, take a ruler and a pencil, use them to make the folds neat and clear. Let's get started!

Bend so that there is a docking of the left edge and with the right.

We bend the corners. This is how we make the sleeves.

Now we bend these corners inward.

I do not know how to describe the next action, but try to bend correctly. I really hope that the photo shows how to do it.

Turn over now and fold back about 2 centimeters. This is for making a collar.

Turn over again and fold to the sides as indicated in the example.

The central fold is not quite in the center. You need to bend in such a way that the bottom part with the sleeves is slightly under the collar.

My congratulations! The shirt is ready!

Now I want to offer you another option, an origami tie, it will be slightly different from the diagram from the previous article. When I saw the Japanese scheme, I got a little lost. To be honest, I was completely at a loss as to how it should be bent. But then I found a good example, I will share with you.

The first 3 pictures do not differ from the diagram from the article, but then the fun begins. Here I will do without comments, I'm afraid to confuse you.

Well, the tie is ready. Your postcard-envelope is complete, you can start decorating the envelope (buttons, pocket). You don't have to fold the origami tie, you can just cut it out of paper, it will look just as good.

Good luck to you, may your efforts not be in vain!
