Watch how to make a beautiful carnation from corrugated paper in the video:

Thus, a funny applique in the form of army boots will remind men of how many kilometers they managed to march along the parade ground and run along country roads while they served in the army. A special decoration of this applique will be the lacing of the boot made of green satin ribbon.

Those who served in the missile forces will be interested to see the image of a rocket rushing upward. Puffs of smoke from under it will perfectly replace lumps of white cotton wool.

Or you can simply give men small souvenir soldiers by gluing them together from cardboard, colored paper, using a toilet paper roll as the base.

A souvenir in the form of a tank, which is glued together from a thin box and strips of corrugated cardboard, looks interesting. We twist the black stripes into six identical rolls - we get the basis for the tracks. We wrap three rolls with one strip of cardboard - we get one caterpillar. We make the second one in the same way, and then attach them to both sides of the small box. All that remains is to roll up one more roll - the turret, glue the cardboard barrel to it, and then connect the turret to the tank body. The craft is ready!

You can have a real little battle.

Glue yellow paper to the front side of the craft. On top of it we place green spots imitating a military camouflage pattern. Cut off a fairly large area from the top. The base of the craft is ready!

DIY crafts for February 23rd. Origami shirt

Video Lesson (underneath is a diagram in pictures)

To make a paper shirt you will need rectangular sheet of paper any color.

You can also choose shirt size. When choosing a size, you need to consider several details: the ratio of the length and width of the rectangle is 2:1; The sides of the shirt after assembling it will be 2 times smaller than the sides of the rectangle.

* You can first try folding an origami shirt using a regular sheet. Thus, you will learn where and how you can avoid mistakes when making a direct gift.

1. First you need to fold the rectangle in half, but along and not across. Next, you need to unfold and fold the edges of the paper towards the middle (see picture).

3. Prepare your sheet face down again. Fold the corners again to the fold lines you just made. No need to bend those little corners this time.

4. Now bend the upper part of the sheet with the folded corners in the part of the paper where the edge of the sheet intersects with the fold lines of the corners.

5. The next thing to do is to fold two ribs to the middle of your paper shirt and make sleeves (see picture), while holding the ribs with the finger of one hand.

6. You've done the sleeves and now it's time to move on to the collar. You may have already guessed that you need to start making the collar from the other end of the folded rectangle. To do this, fold the bottom edge of the sheet so that the collar is approximately 2 times shorter than the sleeve.

7. Turn the folded sheet over and make the corners of the collar.

8. Finally, fold the resulting sheet so that the edge aligns with the sleeves and collar. Straighten the corners of the collar and use glue to secure them.

You have made the base of the shirt. Move on to decoration. Add buttons. You can also add a corner of a handkerchief, a bow tie or a tie.

Scheme on how to make a paper tie for your shirt:

Using an origami shirt as a base, you can easily decorate your card. You can make a large shirt and use it separately as a gift.

You can also make several small shirts in different colors and attach them to one card.

On any holiday, the most important gift is a reminder that the man you love is important to you. For this purpose, a gift made with your own hands is what you need.
