• scissors, pencils, eraser, glue, etc.

The sequence of steps is as follows:

1. First you need to prepare the base for the postcard: fold double-sided colored cardboard in half.
2. Next, you need to draw individual applique figures on paper and cut them along the contour.
3. Then the middle of the ship must be bent in one direction, and the waves around it in the other. Glue the lower part and sides of the figure and attach it to the base of the postcard, while the ship itself should remain unsticked and bend forward.
4. Place additional figures and decorations for the outside of the postcard to your liking.

Do-it-yourself helicopter by February 23

The helicopter is already a rather complicated fake, but the guys are still able to cope with it even on their own.

To make it, you need corrugated cardboard. The main part of the helicopter is made of thin strips of cardboard, which are twisted from 4-5 pieces into tight washers. Then they are slightly curved inward, connected and glued together. The rest of the elements (propellers, screws, etc.) are attached with toothpicks and remain mobile. The size of the product depends on how long your stripes will initially be.
