Send

Birthday is the favorite holiday of each birthday party, regardless of age. What a child, what an adult likes to meet with the closest people once a year and celebrate his birthday with them. A birthday is always a lot of flowers and different gifts that shower a birthday person on that day. Each person congratulates and prepares gifts in different ways, but each has one result, you need to surprise and please the person who has a birthday and whom you are going to congratulate. Many people generally recently think that it’s best to give money and not bother about the gift: “what if you don’t like it?” or "all of a sudden it doesn’t fit and is unnecessary?" But somehow the money turns out to be the most relevant gift, especially if the person you know little. It doesn’t matter what the gift will be all the same, but it’s important how you present it. What is a gift without a congratulatory speech? Warm congratulatory words can be voiced and left for a long memory in a greeting card. And to be creative and original, you can make an interesting and unusual postcard yourself. What is meant by the word "unusual"? Since the birthday is a cheerful holiday, many people also call it “jam day”. It is this card in the form of a jar of jam that we will now learn how to make. It will be called the card "Happy Jam Day".
So, you can proceed, take the following for the master class:
• Watercolor paper A4;
• Scrapbooking paper in blue shades with flowers;
• Cotton fabric white in blue-brown flowers;
• Blue satin ribbon in white polka dots 5 mm wide;
• Salad jute cord;
• Green berries in sugar and red viburnum;
• The inscription printed "Happy Jam Day";
• Lace beige cotton 2.5 cm wide;
• Hole puncher;
• Plastic buttons of different colors;
• Cardboard can template;
• Glue with the effect of double-sided tape from Eugene Kurdibanovskaya;
• Pencil and ruler;
• Double-sided tape;
• scissors;
• Lighter.

First of all, we cut out the basis of watercolor paper for our congratulatory jar. We measure out a rectangle of 15 * 30 cm and fold it in half, we get a workpiece of 15 * 15 cm.

Now we attach the cardboard template to the scrapbook paper and cut out such a scrap jar.

We cut a rectangle of 10 * 15 cm from the fabric and tie the top of the can with it, as grandmothers used to do. We fix with double-sided tape.

We make paper lace with a hole punch, glue it in the center of the can. Cut a strip of cotton lace.

We glue the cotton over the paper lace, and the inscription "Happy Jam Day" is glued on top of the lace. We tie a cloth on a jar with a blue ribbon on top and tie a bow.

We also wrap the jar with a jute cord and also tie a bow. We sew the inscription on the sewing machine, and then the jar itself below the fabric.

Turn over our cardboard jar and spread with adhesive with the effect of adhesive tape. We glue it on the watercolor blank and press it for just a couple of minutes.
