Funny owl

What should you draw for your friend's birthday? Try to draw a funny owl. This bird is a symbol of wisdom, and such an allegory will certainly flatter your loved one. How to portray her? Everything is very simple. First you need to draw a large circle. It will be the sun. Now we draw an oval - this is the body of an owl. Immediately draw the falling shadow of the bird. We will focus on the eyes. We depict them in the form of two huge circles. We duplicate these geometric shapes two more times, gradually making them smaller. Let's finish drawing the beak; it will look like a diamond. Let's schematically depict the paws. They will look like a flower with three leaves. On the belly we draw feathers with a wavy line. And the look will be completed with owl ears and a festive cap. We draw all this with triangles. We depict wings with two ovals. One of them needs to be bent so that it looks like the owl is holding the strings from the balls with its wing. Now let's move on to the image of holiday paraphernalia. We draw balloons and a plate. All this needs to be depicted as ovals. All that remains is to draw a festive cupcake. If desired, it can be exchanged for a pie. Don't forget the candle. You can schematically draw one, or you can depict as many of them as the age of the birthday boy. All that remains is to color the drawing. You can use our sample or use any other color scheme.

Jar of jam

When you're wondering what to draw for your mom or sister's birthday, you can draw something unusual. For example, a jar of jam. How to draw her? Draw a large circle. Now we draw an oval below and erase the lines that appear at the intersection. Just above the circle we draw another oval. We pull two rectangles down; from the last one, a trapezoid-shaped skirt should diverge downwards. We make the edge of our lid wavy. We decorate it with lace. The base is ready. Now you need to decorate it. On the jar we draw raspberries or other berries of your choice. We draw flowers on the ribbon that decorates the jar, and use them to decorate the space below. You should not depict only one inflorescence. Draw several flowers with leaves at once. Well, the main thing left is to depict the label on the jar. We write “Happy Jam Day” in beautiful handwriting and draw a berry. The outline of the label can be “quilted” with strokes. It remains to give our image color, and greeting card will be ready.

Cake

If a child thinks about what to draw for his grandmother’s birthday, then you can give him an idea. For example, draw a cake decorated with candles. On the top of the sheet we write congratulatory words with multi-colored pencils. This could be the phrase “Happy Birthday” or its English variation Happy birthday. Let's start with the image of the cake. We draw a semicircle and depict its lower part with a wavy line. You should get something similar to glaze drips. It is not necessary to draw the cake itself, but if desired, you can outline it with two straight lines going to the edge of the sheet. Place candles on the icing. There can be any number of them, or you can draw as many as the birthday girl is old. We light the lights on the candles and add decor in the form of wavy lines that will symbolize the exploding firecracker. You can add colored dots or stars to the card.

Air balloons

How to draw a birthday card so that it looks original? Everything is very simple, you need to combine the drawing and glue the applique on it. Let's start with its manufacture. Take a sheet of paper, watercolor paints and a toothbrush. We wet the brush in water, dip it in any bright paint and spray it on the sheet. We perform this operation several times with different colors. We wait until the paint dries and cut out the outlines of the balloons from the sheet. In our case there are 4, but you can do more or less. Now we need two sheets of paper: one colored, the other white. The white sheet should be slightly smaller. Glue the two blanks together so that the colored edge looks like a passe-partout. We glue our balls on top of the sheet, and draw wavy lines from them with a black pen. We write a congratulatory phrase at the bottom of the postcard.

Laconic drawing

What can you draw for your birthday? Today minimalism is in fashion, so we will depict the postcard in this vein. Let's draw a birthday cake. But the image will be very sketchy. Even a person who cannot draw at all can cope with this task. Visually divide the sheet into three parts. The first of them will be occupied by an image of a culinary masterpiece. Draw a thin rectangle with rounded edges. We draw the same one on top geometric figure, only wider. We draw a stripe in its center. The cake is ready. We draw a candle schematically. It will look like a rectangle with a thin stick on top. We add a sparkle to the candle. It will be a droplet with rays diverging in different directions. Now let's move on to the congratulatory inscription. In English it will look more stylish. Therefore, we write Happy in block letters on the second third of the sheet. From the word to the left and to the right we draw two thick stripes. On the last third part of the sheet we draw the word Birthday.

You no longer have to think long and hard about what to draw for dad’s birthday. Just give him this card.

Congratulatory bear

How to draw a birthday picture? There is nothing complicated here. Let's depict a cute bear holding a gift in his hands.

We will make it in the form of an application. First, choose paper with a wood texture. Let it be heterogeneous, somewhere lighter, somewhere darker. Let's draw a rectangle on the sheet, slightly expanding downwards. We will draw two circles on its upper corners. This is the body of a bear. Draw an oval on dark brown paper. This will be the nose. We cut out our blanks and glue them onto a clean sheet of paper. We draw the eyes with two dots and draw the nose with a large drop. If you wish, you can draw a smile on the bear. Having retreated 2-3 cm from the application, we write a congratulatory inscription. Glue a square cut from any wrapping paper onto the bear. From it we cut out flags that we will “hang” at the top of the postcard.

Card with flowers

What should I draw for my mom's birthday? Well, of course, flowers. They can be depicted as realistic, or, as in our case, decorative. At the bottom of the sheet we draw a line that will combine straight and zigzag segments. This is grass. We write congratulatory words at the top. And in the middle we draw sticks on which we depict flowers of various shapes. These can be bells, roses, daisies. To make the card look more delicate, you need to paint everything in the same color scheme. And to fill the space between the colors you need to draw fancy curls with a black pen.

Everyone wants to give their beloved mother a gift that will make her happy. Sometimes you really need to prepare a drawing for her. This article will tell you how to draw a gift for mom.

Drawing “Me and Mom”

Very young children really want to express their boundless love and affection for their mother in a drawing. Therefore, they usually do not face the question of giving it as a gift for their mother. Of course, this will be the picture where the most beautiful woman in the world smiles joyfully and tightly holds the hand of the best child in the world, that is, the author of this masterpiece.

But you should not limit this topic to age limits. And old enough children may well turn to this topic. And they might even end up with a pretty good drawing. And if the situation with artistic talents is, to put it mildly, not very good, then the picture will come out with humor, since you can draw a gift for your mother in the style of a “kalak-kalyak”, imitating the kids.

Mommy will be happy with flowers, that’s a fact!

But you shouldn’t be too zealous in showing your humor. Perhaps the child still has some rudiments of the talent for drawing on paper, since to draw a gift beautifully means to do something nice for a loved one. Moreover, you can not just hand your mother a sheet of paper with a drawing, but paint, for example, a glass or tray, a wall plate or a kitchen board.

Since drawing a gift is all about flowers, here is a master class on how to draw a rose. If desired, the donor can make a postcard with his own design.

Step-by-step instructions for drawing a rose

Anyone who does not know how to draw a gift will cope with the task easily if he strictly follows the instructions.

At the top of the sheet there is a slightly inclined oval with horizontal elongation.
From the edges at the widest point of the oval, two asymmetrical arcs are drawn down, which are parts of a circle of large diameter.
From below, the ends of the arcs smoothly connect - the lower part of the flower is formed.
Below are two open rose petals.
The middle of the flower can be made in the form of a rolled up roll. It is depicted like a snail curl.
Several small leaves of the peduncle will decorate the lower part of the bud.
Since it is best to draw a gift for mom in the form of a rose in a naturalistic way, you should depict the stem of the flower.
A few thorns and leaves on the stem - and it’s almost ready.
Now everyone understands how to draw a gift for mom step by step. You need to color the rose with pencils or felt-tip pens, but you can also use paints.

Cute little animals will delight mommy!

If the question of what gift to draw for your mother has not yet been decided, experts advise: there is nothing more pleasant than receiving a picture of a cute animal as a gift. It could be anyone - a bunny or a fox, a puppy or a kitten, a squirrel or a bear cub. It’s great if the animal holds a flower, a heart, a cake or a box with a gift beautifully tied with a bow in its front paws. Since you can draw a gift for mom not only on paper, but also on fabric, you can use acrylic paints or specially designed for matter.

as a gift for mom

The head is depicted in a circle.
An oval is placed horizontally at the bottom of the circle.
Inside the oval, another smaller oval is inscribed. They should touch with their upper parts. This will be the tip of the nose.
The eyes are drawn in small circles, painted black, leaving small areas - highlights - unpainted.
The bear's ears are semicircles. They are drawn at the top of the head.
The body of the bear is drawn with an oval slightly larger in size than the head.
Two small ovals are inscribed inside it on opposite sides - the front paws of the animal.
The hind legs are depicted as segments of straight parallel lines. The feet are also oval.
The section of the mouth and claws on the paws are depicted with smooth lines.
The bear cub can hold any symbol of a gift in its hands.
You can paint the animal as the artist’s imagination dictates.

Wonderful handmade card

It is appropriate to draw a birthday gift on thick cardboard, make a bright congratulatory inscription and fold the sheet in half. This will make an excellent card. Inside you should write warm words of congratulations and wishes.

Mothers are touched when they see funny ones. Why not draw in this case a cute little elephant with a trusting look and naively raised eyebrows?

Sketch of the head and legs of a baby elephant

Not everyone can do it beautiful drawing. But I really want to please my mother! But how to draw a gift step by step? Simple and detailed master class images of a baby elephant will help you cope with the task.

A circle is drawn at the top of the sheet.
They make “dents” in it on the sides, highlighting the baby elephant’s cheeks.
On the top of the head - in the upper part of the circle - swirls are drawn.
Mark the direction of the back of the sitting animal with a line from the head down.
It's quite easy to depict the baby elephant's front leg.
The second front leg is located slightly obliquely to the first, they seem to cross, with the first protruding slightly forward in relation to the second.
The baby's plump tummy is outlined with an arc from below.
The hind legs are spread out in different directions, the baby elephant seems to be doing the splits. For the leg whose foot is slightly turned towards the viewer, there is no need to draw the foot itself.

Full outline of the baby elephant without drawing out the features of his “face”

The animal's foot is depicted as an oval. The artist uses arcs to paint nails on all four legs of the baby elephant.
A baby elephant's ear is shaped like an egg with its pointed end pointing down. The line of the head near the ear that is closer and in full visibility should be erased at the junction with an eraser.
In each ear, an internal contour should be drawn that follows the external one.
You should mentally divide your head vertically into four parts. In the lower part is the base of the trunk, and the upper line falls exactly on the division point.
Along the trunk there are small arcs representing skin folds.
Near the end of the bottom line of the trunk, a smile is indicated by a small arc.
An oval is drawn at the end of the trunk - the nasal opening.

The final stage of working on the drawing

Two ovals, slightly inclined in opposite directions with their upper parts, represent eyes.
Inside them are the same ovals, but smaller.
In each eye, a small circle is drawn in the upper part. These circles should be slightly shifted to the side, and in both eyes to the same one.
Eyebrows are drawn in arcs above the eyes.
Eyelashes in the corners of the eyes look charming. And even though in reality elephants do not have eyebrows or eyelashes, people often transfer features of their appearance onto animals.
Since it is best to draw a gift in color, the picture should be colored. The inside of the ears is decorated pink, pupils (inner oval) - black. The circles in the eyes will act as reflections, so you should leave them without color. But the baby elephant itself can be painted in any color, because it is not a real animal, but a symbolic one. Therefore, it can even be polka dots or stripes, like in a real fairy tale.

Sometimes, in a handicraft impulse, you want to make something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer again, I decided to put together a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and small descriptions of how to make this or that postcard.

I tried to select as many different images as possible, both in style and theme, so that there was plenty to choose from. Of course, each postcard is just an example of how you can make postcards with your own hands.

How to make a card for mom? It’s clear that it should be the most beautiful and touching, but I want some specifics, right? The first thing you need to do is focus on the reason, it could be:

an unplanned card for no reason;
Mother's Day or March 8;
New Year and Christmas;
birthday or name day;
professional holidays.

Original version of the butterfly postcard:

If it’s not clear from the pictures, see more details here:

And here is a version of a cute postcard with birds:

Of course, no one can stop you from making and giving your mom a postcard dedicated to the first snow or even the release of your favorite TV series, but in general, the main reasons are indicated quite clearly.

A New Year's card for mom can be ordinary (from the point of view New Year's greetings, naturally), it is not necessary to somehow emphasize the special relationship. But a birthday or Mother’s Day are special holidays on which it is worth presenting a personal card with the signature “To my beloved mother.”

How to make a birthday card for mom? Sketch out a sketch with a simple pencil, add a little color to get an idea of the color scheme and understand what shades you will need during the work process. So, you need to buy or find in the bins:

a blank for your needlework (thick and thin cardboard is suitable);
background image - it can be scrap paper, colored paper, any sheet that you like for the ornament, or you can simply artistically splash paint on a sheet of white thick paper or even use the monotype and marbling technique;
chipboard for inscription - it is better to purchase a ready-made one or use a special stapler to decorate the edge;
pair decorative elements- flowers, butterflies, beads and leaves;
one or two large decorative elements - flowers or bows;
decorative tape;
good glue;
scalloped ribbon or lace.

First you need to glue the background image to the blank, then arrange large flowers, and only then complement the resulting composition with small decor and lace. Dry the finished work well, decorate it with small decorations and sparkles, and then sign it - mom will be happy with such a sign of attention.

Now you know how to make a card for Mother's Day, and you can easily figure out what a card for an anniversary or angel's day should be like.

Another original option: the essence is that you need to cut out circles from colored paper, and then cut each circle in a spiral and twist it into a bud, you will get cute flowers with which you can decorate a card.

To dad

A DIY birthday card for dad is always very touching and sweet. Choosing a particular “papal” theme is not too easy, but there is a wonderful straw to grab onto: style. If you make a stylish card, then the father will undoubtedly be happy to receive it, even if it does not contain the usual symbols of “masculinity,” which in our country often include cars, weapons and fishing.

Naturally, if the father is celebrating the anniversary of his driving experience, then a car on a postcard is quite appropriate, but on dad’s birthday it is better to present a neutral and beautiful greeting card.

What kind of cards do men like:

not too colorful;
in a calm, slightly muted palette;
with clean lines;
in which a lot of effort has been visually invested.

I would like to say especially about the last point. If your mom liked a card made from a piece of lace, a bow and a beautiful chipboard, then dad will appreciate a hand-made poster from paper with an elegant, lacy cutout - painstaking and graceful.

Men admire the process, so before you make a nice card using the scrapbooking technique, think about how you can put your work into the card? This can be working with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.

Incorporate a few elements of hard work and love into your work and your dad's birthday card will be stunning.

So, we make paper cards with our own hands for our beloved daddy. Start by choosing a subject - this could be some element of a male portrait - a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.

Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.

Make a pattern for the future postcard and get to work - if this is a regular applique, then cut out all the elements and carefully lay out the future composition. And in the case of artistic cutting, it is better to spend time on the pattern and drawing. By the way, for this work you will need a good breadboard knife.

After all the main elements have been cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - so that the work looked really delicate, you will need to choose shades that will highlight all the slits.

Make a central element on your card, and then put it under a press - this will help prevent the paper from deforming from the moisture contained in the glue.

In honor of the wedding

Making beautiful cards with your own hands for a wedding is not an easy task, and here it is better to watch master classes.

Sample:

A wedding is one of the most important events in the life of a young family, and therefore it is not enough just to draw a card, you need to carefully design and package it, and perhaps supplement it with some other elements.

How to make a beautiful card for congratulations on your wedding day:

come up with an idea;
find out from the bride and groom the main color of the wedding, or the main theme of the celebration;
look at various options for postcards - using scrapbooking techniques, with embroidery, ribbons, and so on;
choose several interesting lessons;
make a rough postcard from paper and cardboard (and if you are not sure of your result, then it is better to do this step several times);
make original cards with your own hands;
choose packaging and make it a little more unique;
sign the envelope and postcard.

Other occasions and recipients

Rest assured, handmade cards for a birthday or New Year will delight the recipients - after all, this is not just a DIY postcard made in a master class, it is a real man-made miracle that keeps a piece of the soul.

You can make cards for mom and dad with your own hands, or you can delight your friends before each holiday with an original greeting - all you need is free time, good master classes and a little patience.

3D postcards look especially impressive. How to make a three-dimensional postcard? Come up with (or look at experienced authors) an idea on how you can give it a shape so that you get voluminous postcards. You may want to use more decorative elements, or you may decide to make a simple DIY birthday card with 3D elements.

By the way, if you are wondering how to make a postcard for your mother or friend with voluminous paper elements, take a closer look at children's books. Surely you still have several copies, when opened, carriages and castles, trees and horses appeared between the pages.

Take a close look at how these elements are made and glued together - you may be able to reproduce this in your sketch.

Or try to do something in the style of shabby chic and scrapbooking with your own hands - it’s not as difficult as it seems, the entire main effect of volume is created by layering elements. By the way, flat cards are also good. 🙂

I think now you have enough ideas for creating greeting cards, postcards and tags - have fun with handicrafts and bring joy to your loved ones!
