Getting ready for Teacher's Day: postcard with quilling decor
Hello, friends! As you know, at the beginning of October Teacher's Day is celebrated - a holiday that in one way or another affects everyone: some work selflessly in the field of pedagogy, some study, and for others this day is an occasion to remember their school and student years and congratulate favorite teachers and educators or teachers of their own, already grown-up children. In Russia, Teacher's Day is officially celebrated on October 5, and, by the way, World Teacher's Day falls on the same date. In a number of countries, for example, in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the professional holiday of teachers is celebrated on the first Sunday of October, which means this year it will happen almost simultaneously with the celebration in Russia.
Be that as it may, there is not much time left to prepare for the holiday, and it’s time to think about what to give the teacher. The first thing that comes to mind is traditional flowers and cards. Moreover, it is much better if the latter are made with your own hands - such a gift is more sincere and touching and is always perceived with special trepidation. But you can learn how to do this (at least one of the options) from Ekaterina Shkodovskaya’s new master class, dedicated to creating a postcard for Teacher’s Day, decorated using the quilling technique. Along the way, you will become acquainted with another method of making flowers from paper, namely paper chrysanthemums, as well as the technology for making interesting decorative curls from paper strips.
Materials and tools:
quilling paper;
sheets of paper in pale orange, light orange and bright orange;
designer cardboard, scrap paper;
scissors, quilling tool;
PVA glue;
heat gun;
half beads for decoration;
printed inscription "Happy Teacher's Day."
This time we will make a postcard with two doors. To create the postcard base, we will need a rectangle of designer cardboard measuring 28x15 cm. It must be folded in two places so that the opening parts close exactly in the middle (this will be clearly visible below).
Let's immediately prepare the following parts: 1 large circle (cut out using a regular CD) and 3 small ones (about the size of a coin).
Now we need scrap paper. I used two types: light with polka dots and dark with ornaments.
I used the light one for the postcard flaps, cutting out rectangles slightly smaller in size (2-3 mm in length and width) than the flaps. Dark - for the circle, which is also slightly smaller than its backing made of designer cardboard.
We glue the corresponding blanks. And then we glue the large circle to one of the flaps so that the middle of the circle coincides with the middle of the postcard.
Let's start decorating our postcard for Teacher's Day. I decided to make perhaps the most autumn flowers - chrysanthemums - as the main element. There are many ways to make them from paper. In this case, I suggest using this: fold colored paper into several layers and draw an approximate diagram by hand,
along which we then cut out such petals of two colors and in large quantities.
Additionally, we will make cuts between the corners to make the petals more magnificent.
Now let's glue the petals to our blanks, to the same circles with a diameter of a large coin. Glue it in several layers, shape it into a flower and fluff it up.
To ensure that the middle does not remain empty, we will fill it with a small flower, which we will make from a strip of paper of the same color as the flower itself. I demonstrated the technology of its manufacture in detail in the previous master class.
So, cut the fringe and twist the paper strip.
Important! The strip should expand slightly along its length, then when twisting and “opening” the flower, all its petals will lie flat and be visible.
This is the flower I got.
Let's make 2 more quilling chrysanthemums, one of which will be two-color (it will have alternating petals of different colors).
Next, we will make several fringed flowers from strips of paper in a contrasting color (bright orange) in the same way as chrysanthemum hearts.
Let's put the finished flowers on our postcard blank, placing them beautifully on a large circle.
Let’s add green leaves (“wave” element):
And then we’ll complement the composition with a couple of unusual curls. They are made as follows:
- first we fold 4 green quilling strips, gluing their ends on one side to each other,
- twist the strips from the same end to a certain point,
- let go of the roll, allowing it to unwind a little spontaneously, after which we begin to slightly tighten the strips one by one - first the first, then the second and so on - until our curl unwinds sufficiently,
- cut off the end and also glue the 4 ends of the strips on the other side.
The result should be this interesting decorative curl:
We make another one of the same kind and glue both of them to the card in suitable places.
As finishing touches to the decor, we glue on the half-beads (using a hot-melt gun). And then all we have to do is paste the congratulatory inscription “Happy Teacher’s Day.” We decorate it and glue it to another fold of our postcard.
That's all, the postcard as a gift for the teacher is ready
