Like all people, whether adults or children, dads love gifts, not only for birthdays, but also on other holidays. Parents are especially pleased with gifts from their beloved children made with their own hands. Such things, which parents usually keep for a long time, are truly pleasant and surprise much more than purchased gifts.

Children’s handicrafts are always the most desirable, because they are prepared with soul and love for a loved one, and the wise father can sincerely rejoice and appreciate the children’s work with dignity, not forgetting the well-deserved praise.

Tip: before you start making crafts, choose an option for what you will be making. Then prepare the necessary materials and get involved in the process. But for a small child this is a rather difficult task, so he cannot do it without the participation of adults. So, let's make a gift for dad.

Funny cards

• We form a postcard from a thick sheet, folding it in half, and on the front side we glue a smaller rectangle of colored paper;
• Having drawn a large outline of a palm on another sheet, place a small palm in it, cut out the picture and glue it to the front side of the postcard;
• the inner part is for congratulations; we decorate it with touching wishes for dad, with lovingly selected photographs.

Advice: let the small palm be the outline of the child’s hand, and the large one the outline of the father’s hand; if you manage to make it, then the gift will be especially memorable, and the value of the postcard will increase much.

It's my beloved dad's birthday. And, of course, you and your baby want to please him with an interesting gift. Then you are in the right place and reading the right article :). Today we will do with you DIY birthday card for dad. Handmade gifts are always especially appreciated! This is also a good educational activity for your child. And if your Dad is also a musician, then he will especially like this card. Well, let's start putting words into action!

Theory

For the postcard you will need:

1. Paints (finger paints and any others: gouache, watercolor, etc.).

2. 3 jars of water (for washing brushes).

3. Brushes (3 pcs.).

4. A cloth to wipe the brushes (so that the paint from a wet brush does not become too liquid).

5. Base-1 “dad man”. Download and print the drawings (3 copies) at the end of the article.

6. Base-2 for a three-dimensional heart and letters. Download and print the drawings (3 copies) at the end of the article.

7. Oilcloth for covering the floor and protecting it from finger paint, which the baby will draw with. Also, bring wet wipes and wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.

8. Scissors.

9. PVA glue or double-sided tape.

10. Double-sided colored cardboard (1 sheet) and white cardboard (2 sheets).

11. Paper clips (4 pcs.).

12. Black felt-tip pen.

13. Black pencil.

Note: If your child is very small, stock up on more brushes and foundations than you need, and take a couple of your child’s favorite toys. And if the child starts to get distracted and wants to tear something or put it in his mouth, you can give him spare copies. And if you see that the child is completely tired or bored, interrupt the process. You most likely won’t make a postcard in one go. Moreover, the paint must be allowed to dry. We made the postcard in two days in two passes. I specifically chose a card that was more or less simple, so that it wouldn’t be difficult and tiring for the child, and for me too.

Practice

1. Prepare a workplace where you will create together with your child, and all the necessary materials for the postcard.

2. Print out base-1 and base-2 and staple them onto white cardstock. This is done so that they do not move around the table too much. Once they're ready, we'll cut them out to make the card without removing the staples!

3. First, decorate the daddy man that you will glue on the outside of the card.

If your child is still small, like mine (my son was about 11 months old), then dip the brush in the paint, place it in the child’s hand and, holding it with your hand (hand-in-hand technique), together paint the little man-dad. And if the child is already old enough, let him do as much as possible himself.

4. Write on a piece of paper with brushes together with your child “Dad, we love you!” Or let the child do it himself!

5. Since the child has already sat for a long time, it’s time to move. So get busy finger painting. We sit comfortably together with the child on the floor, take finger paints, and go ahead, decorate the base-2 under the heart :). Draw with your fingers and palms, the way your baby likes it best.

You and your child can also decorate base 2 with a heart and tassels, and then choose the one you like best.

We are moving closer and closer to completing our gift: "

6. When the bases are dry, first take base 1. Cut out the parts of the paper daddy man and glue them onto the cardboard. This is what we should get as a result:

The headband of the headphones is not drawn on base-1. Finish it by hand with a black wax pencil.

8. Take double-sided colored cardboard and bend it in half, making a blank for card for dad.

I only had one-sided colored cardstock, so I glued colored paper inside the card. Please note that if you take double-sided colored cardboard, the inside and outside of the card will be the same color. If you want it to be two-color, like mine, then you also need to stick colored paper inside.

9. Glue a little daddy man onto the outside of the card blank. Here's what happens:

Glue a heart, as well as pre-cut letters, into the inside of the blank. When you open a postcard, your heart will unfold along with it. Looks beautiful!

10. We put the finishing touches on the card: we outline the contours of the human dad with a black felt-tip pen, add the phrase: “my dad is a musician” or something of our own, and write inside the card: “Happy Birthday.”

That's all DIY birthday card for dad, ready! Hooray! Well done! :)

Children make their own cards for all holidays to their parents at any age. Kids make crafts from paper, pencils and glue, and adults already use high-quality materials and their artistic vision. Both mom and dad will be pleased to receive a handmade card from their child. Dad will be touched no less than mom by such a manifestation of love and care.

Men's cards are often even easier to make than women's ones, unlike the abundance of flowers and lace, here you can focus on the plot. Remember what your dad loves most, what his hobbies are. Use them as a basis when creating a birthday card. Don't forget to add a congratulatory inscription and the card is ready.

Postcards for children under 10 years old

Children enjoy drawing, sculpting and making paper crafts. With mom's help, both daughter and son will be able to create a simple postcard for dad with a touching congratulation. The inscription inside in uneven handwriting “To my beloved daddy” will be treasured by my father all his life.

• Postcard with a picture pencils , paints or crayons.

• Postcard with photo dad in a beautiful frame.
• Postcard with plasticine elements.

In some cases, the child will need his mother’s help to carefully glue small parts, cut out appliqué elements, and for other still complex work.

A card for dad reflecting his interests

In adolescence and adulthood, you can already create more professional and interesting postcards. At first, you can use special diagrams that show the correct arrangement of elements, and then move on to independent creativity.

Men's cards are most often made based on the interests of the birthday boy, if he likes technology, then its pictures are used in the decor, ships and anchors are also suitable for a lover of the sea, and a lover of cycling should make a postcard with a bicycle.

In this video master class you can see how a man's postcard is made, and what materials and tools you will need to create it:

Fishing. Many men like to sit by the river or by the sea with a fishing rod, if your father is one of those, then feel free to choose tackle, nets, floats and the fish itself for decoration.

Hunter you can make a postcard with a deer or a wild boar.

A gambling enthusiast can do card with a deck of cards or dice.

The collector should come up with decor with stamps, coins or banknotes.

Postcard in masculine style

Men's style in cardmaking is most often built not only on men's hobbies, but also on accessories. These are items of clothing, watches, chains, pince-nez and much more. Some time ago, mustache prints came into fashion. You will be able to find designer papers that play up this masculine element of the look, paper decorations and much more.

In addition, you can choose purely masculine scrapbooking styles for making postcards - steampunk, grunge, and also mixed media. Paint, texture, metal elements and much more play a role here.

Paper for men's cards is usually selected in blue, gray, brown tones, but it does not necessarily have to be dark. Many cards are made on a light blue, sand, or beige background, which is also appropriate for men’s work.

When making a card for dad, a daughter or son is faced with the task of selecting appropriate decorations; if everything is clear for a mother’s gift, you need a lot of flowers, then a man’s work raises questions for many.

First, you should decide on the style of the postcard; it will help you choose decorative elements. For example, you chose a nautical style and printed a picture of a sailboat, how can you complement it:

• Waxed cord imitating tackle;
• Paper with wood planks under deck;
• Seagulls;
• Sea waves;
• Screws or nails.

For sea postcards with lighthouses you can take:

• Shells;
• a net representing a seine;
• starfish;
• paper can be combined in sand and sea colors.

If you choose steampunk, then the main decorations will be gears. You need to create an interesting composition from them so that they cling to each other and turn the mechanism. Along with gears, you can use images of pocket watches on a chain or large dials.

When making a postcard for dad’s hobby, it’s worth choosing several elements of different sizes that emphasize the main idea. For example, the main element would be a picture of a fisherman in a boat or a fish. Together with it, you can use reeds, mesh fabric, a float in decoration, and take the base blue, like river water.

Unlike women's decor, men's decor carries meaning. Try to choose not just jewelry that is suitable for a man, but ones that support your story or your idea. You can use not only printed pictures. Professional decor will help you make your postcard complete and interesting. Take a look at the chipboard, brads, and die-cuts that suit the purpose. Designer paper with the desired design and all other decorations can be found in craft stores.

A card for dad should be made from the heart, even if it is not perfect, the main thing is that you put your love and tenderness into it, write important words and leave a memory of this birthday.
