1. From a sheet of green A4 paper, cut off a side section 10cm wide. Starting from the corner, we twist the leaf into a thin tube: we make a flower stem. We fix the edge with glue.
2. Fold a sheet of colored paper for the bud in half twice (if the paper is one-sided, you need to fold it with the colored side inward).
3. We make thin (approx. 0.5 cm) cuts on the workpiece, not reaching the edge by about 2 cm. We unfold the workpiece once and make a cut in the middle.
4. Completely unfold the workpiece. Turn it over so that the fold line is on top. Lubricate the edges of the workpiece with glue and glue them together.
5. We do everything exactly the same with a green sheet of paper.
6. Lubricate the edge of the first piece with glue and glue the stem. We begin to wrap the workpiece around the stem. Glue the edge of the workpiece.
7. Lubricate the edge of the green blank with glue. We apply this blank to the flower. You need to place the green stripe a little lower along the stem than the first piece (literally 0.5 cm).
We twist the green blank onto the first one. It turns out to be a flower.
8. To make a wrapper for the bouquet (bag), cut a strip 12 cm wide from the side of a sheet of paper.
9. We bend the lower left edge of this sheet diagonally: the corner itself should be on the right side, 10 cm higher than the lower right corner.
10. Bend the right corner. Only make a fold line from the bottom.
11. We bend the corner itself again. If at the same time the corner under the workpiece still peeks out, you can cut it off. Glue this corner to secure the bag.
12. Cut off the bottom of the bag so that there is a small hole at the bottom. Straighten the bag and insert a flower into it.
13. Cut out a small strip. It can be cut in the shape of a heart, a circle or a rectangle. We sign this piece of paper and glue it to the bouquet card.
I just had an idea right now! What if you make the flowers a little smaller? Well, for example, not from a whole sheet, but from 1/3 of it or even less... then you can put 3-5 of these flowers in a little bag...! Imagine. What a bouquet for our grandmothers!!!

Beautiful birthday card for grandma from her grandson
Boys like to make things. With their creative vision, it is difficult to come up with just one idea. Therefore, I will show several options at once. Each of them is very simple to make, but the postcard looks very cool!
With photo!
The postcard is made very quickly. The only difficulty is inflating such tiny balloons. But if someone helps, it's not a problem! By the way, such tiny balls can be easily made from a ball cut into 2-4 parts. Then you need to stretch the piece slightly, apply it to your mouth and blow on it forcefully. When the balloon is inflated, you need to quickly wrap your fingers around the edges, spin the balloon and tie the tail with thread. Or inflate very small balloons. But for this it is better to use a pump.
- We inflate the balloons.
- We are looking for a suitable photo with our grandson.
- We cut out around the outline of the grandson and glue this part into one of the corners of the card.
- We tie the tails of the balls with thin ribbons.
- Glue the balls onto double-sided tape.
- We collect the ribbons together and tie them with ribbon.
- Glue the ribbons to the card.
All that's left is to sign the postcard!
Flowers
Flowers, leaves, stems and birds are cut out of thin felt. At the same time, the shape of the blanks is very simple: flowers are circles, of different colors and sizes; birds and leaves are droplets, only the droplets for birds have sharp, curled edges.
- Cut out circles.
- We mark on the card where the flowers will be located.
- The first thing we glue to the card is the stems and leaves.
- Above the stems and on top of them, glue the largest circles first.
- Glue smaller circles on top of the larger ones. Glue the smallest circles on top of them.
- Glue buttons in the middle of the small circles. It would be good if the buttons were in the shape of flowers.
- Place the birds on top of the card. We glue the birds’ beaks next to the blanks, and on top of the blanks – eyes, wings, “cheeks”.
- All that remains is to glue a bow on the stems and you can sign the card.
By the way, the signature to the postcard can be quite original. For example, like this:
I think any granny is the best at cuddling and spoiling her grandchildren!)
Volumetric letters
Unusual three-dimensional letters will be a good decoration for a birthday. They are made from thick cardboard. To begin with, cut out the base from this material and glue the side parts to it. The resulting blank is painted or pasted over with colored paper. You can put the gifts themselves inside or decorate the surface with artificial flowers and small toys.

Let's make a template!
1. Fold an A4 sheet of paper in half.
2. Then we bend each edge in half, towards the fold line (in the middle).
3. Expand the sheet. We bend only the edges on both sides. This is the base template. To ensure that the base has the desired shape, fold the sheet again, bending it in the middle. Then we bend the workpiece again, lengthwise.
5. On the side where there is no fold line in the middle, cut the corner in an arc.
6. We fold the workpiece, draw 2 arc-shaped lines connected to each other. We unfold the workpiece and fold it so as to bring all the corners together. Cutting corners.
7. Unfold the workpiece. Using the template, cut out a base blank from another sheet of paper.
8. Bend the edges. We place a sheet of colored paper inside the blank, slightly different in shade.
9. Turn the workpiece over and mark the protruding corners with a pencil. We lower the liner down half a centimeter and draw a line on it along the bottom line of the base. In the same way, pull the liner up 0.5 cm and draw a line.
10. Cut off the edges of the liner along these lines and glue it to the inside of the base.
11. Take another sheet. We place it under the side of the workpiece. Draw the outline of the side. We take out the sheet and draw it in parallel, only 0.5 cm less than the contour line. Cut out this part of the card.
12. We will need 2 of these parts. Glue them to the sides of the base.
Making butterflies:
1. Fold 3 small leaves in half. We draw 2 butterfly wings on them. Only on each leaf the wings should be smaller: large, medium, small.
2. Use these butterfly templates to cut out. You need to fold a sheet of dark pink paper and place it in the middle of the template, and then cut it along the contour line of the wings. We make medium-sized wings light pink. Small ones are white. I give you templates to help you.
3. Glue the medium-sized wings onto the large wings folded in half. And on the middle ones we glue the small ones. And we will need 2 such wing blanks.
Making a postcard:
1. Glue tapes to the sides. On top of the tapes, on one and the other side, we glue the wings with double-sided tape.
2. On the inside of the card we make a congratulatory inscription. Glue hearts of different sizes and colors. We draw stripes from the hearts, like ribbons of balloons. We decorate everything with rhinestones.
We tie the edges of the ribbon, trimming the long edges if necessary.
The elegant card is ready! Options for congratulations:

I made double-sided cards, they need to be printed, cut in half and a picture with a design pasted on the top of the card. And a frame inside the card, write a wish in it.
Pictures can be decorated with paints, felt-tip pens, oil crayons or pencils. The child will choose what is convenient for him to decorate with. And it doesn’t matter if in his vision the colors differ slightly from the real ones. The main thing is that the baby tried to prepare a gift for his beloved granny on his own!
Useful tips
DIY crafts should take into account the interests of their future owners. Therefore, before you start creating, you need to understand what the birthday person is interested in and what he will be happy about.
You cannot start and continue making gifts in a bad mood. Firstly, the craft will turn out crooked and askew, and secondly, negative energy will be transferred as a gift, and instead of useful properties, the souvenir will become a source of anxiety.
To make the process enjoyable, you need to prepare all the materials and tools in advance.
This is quite easy to do, since you don’t need to purchase special equipment to make homemade souvenirs. For the most part, scissors, glue, paper and decorative elements are used.

Photo frames using quilling technique
Quilling is an amazing technique with which objects take on a completely different look. A good gift would be pictures of the walls of a photo frame using the quilling technique.
Combine colors especially skillfully so that the final gift looks harmonious and does not seem pretentious. A birthday for those closest to you is special; at the holiday it is important that the gift be remembered, so it is advisable to say a few words about your creation that could describe what it means and what benefits it will bring to the birthday person.
If you want your gift to create a fairy-tale atmosphere or a romantic setting, then the best option would be a lamp or night light. In this case, the use of an ordinary glass jar of a non-standard shape, decorated with acrylic paints, rhinestones and small mirrors will become an amazing gift, at the same time decorating the interior and giving benefits.

Edible bouquets
For those with a sweet tooth, sweet bouquets are a good option for congratulations. They can be done in the form:
- traditional bouquet in transparent paper;
- bouquet in a pot or tea cup;
- cars, dolls with full skirts, other toys.
For dads, grandfathers, brothers, sweets can be replaced with more harmful, but very tasty smoked sausages, croutons, chips, salty crackers and other goodies. A can of beer or a bottle of wine will complement such a surprise.
For mothers or grandmothers, high-quality alcohol can be supplemented with expensive chocolate and made into an elegant box made of thick cardboard.
The top of the box is decorated with flowers, ribbons, and embroidery. Using cellophane paper, you can make a transparent window through which the contents of the gift will be visible.
Casket
For the fair sex, you can make a small box where it is convenient to store various little things.
To do this you should prepare:
- Thick cardboard;
- Threads;
- Pencils;
- Toothpicks or small wooden sticks;
- Glue;
- Decorative additions.
The manufacturing technology is as follows:
- A heart is drawn on cardboard, taking into account the planned size of the box.
- The heart is cut out along the outline.
- Toothpicks are installed along the edges of the cardboard; glue is first applied to them.
- The threads are woven into toothpicks to form the sides of the box. For a beautiful weave, the threads must be wound alternately from the outside and the inside. This creates the required number of layers up to the very top of the toothpicks. At the end, the thread must be secured.
- To hide the top of the toothpick, use a suitable size bead.
- At the end, additional decorative additions are glued.
