Just a postcard from a store is difficult to surprise someone. Another thing - to make a postcard with your hands, but so beautiful that all gasped!
Let's try to make three-dimensional postcard-clamshell in kirigami technology. This type of Origami comes from the words "Kira", which means "to cut", and "kami", which means "paper". In kirigami allowed to use scissors and cut paper to create the model. And the use of glue is allowed.
You open this ordinary-looking postcard, and then there is the bulk Christmas figure. To make such a miracle is not very easy, although the principle of the circuit-pattern reading for kirigami same: solid line - a line of paper cutting, and the dashed - a fold line.
It happens that in the schemes used color markings: red marked fold line - depression, and green fold line - convexity.
Worktop need to lay a dense material, it is best to fit a special self-healing mat with markings. We will still need metal ruler, scissors, breadboard knife, masking tape, paper clips. In using colored cardboard, unilateral or bilateral as the main material.
To begin, try a simpler scheme.
To take the card board A5 (half standard office A4 sheets), fold it in half. On one side draw half of a simple Christmas tree. And now attention! Place marked with a red circle, not cut. It is a junction of the model with a card. Cut only the black solid lines drawing.
Then you need to deploy the card and gently bend the Christmas tree outside. Now you can paint it with markers or crayons, paste sequins, ribbons, stickers in the form of stars, snowflakes and circles. If you stick to the outside of the card sheet of colored paper, the model will look more beautiful.
The following diagram is also quite simple, and the card will turn out very original.
A card for this use two sheets of cardboard, dark green for Christmas trees and a contrast to the background. When cutting using the same principle kirigami. Do not forget to decorate the tree New Year's decor.
This herringbone glued cut from two identical elements, between which the hole in the shape of a heart is glued colored paper.
To this card turned out interesting, it will take a two-sided multi-colored cardboard. It can be pasted on one side of the paper with a pattern of contrasting color.
For the more experienced masters can offer the scheme more difficult, but there will need care and accuracy.
But the result is worth it! And one more interesting multilayered "barbed" card.
Compose it from two sheets of A5 size, folded in half. The inside of the card to make a good contrasting color of thinner paper, it is best to another invoice.
Applied to the external side of the drawing by the scheme. Prototyping knife cut two sides of a triangle indicated by a solid line. Triangular elements are folded outwardly with respect to the lower side. Through-hole spines visible beautiful inner liner, on which you can write wishes for the family and friends. And may they come true!
