Opened postcard for February 23rd. Collection of greeting cards with inscriptions for boys on Defender of the Fatherland Day

We will start preparing for the men's holiday with the simplest cards for February 23rd. Children will be able to do some of them even without mom’s help, and dad will certainly be happy)

And the first of them will be made in the form of a military uniform.

The materials you need are the simplest:

  • paper (green, yellow, red, black and white)
  • scissors
  • PVA glue
  • ruler
  • pencil

Cut a sheet of A4 paper into 4 equal parts. Take one of them and make 2 small cuts on top. Fold them to form a shirt collar. Cut out a small tie from black paper and glue it under the collar of your shirt.

Cut out a rectangle from green paper (the height is equal to the height of the shirt from the base to the shoulders, and the width is 2 times the width of the shirt). Fold the paper to form the lapels of the uniform, and bend the top corners slightly. Then cut out shoulder straps and 3 round buttons from yellow paper. All that remains is to “put” the finished uniform on the shirt and solemnly present the card to dad on February 23rd!

A similar, but more “adult” version of such a postcard is offered by Alexandra Parkhomenko:

Card cuff

And another simple version of a postcard for dad. Why not make it in the original shape of a shirt cuff? All you need to do is cut a rectangle out of paper and round the top 2 corners. Then, very carefully, use a stationery knife to make 2 small slits for the buttons. All that remains is to fold the cuff in half and glue it along the very edge, and then glue on 2 buttons!

You can decorate the cuff as you wish, add a greeting message, stick on stars, etc., but you need to do this BEFORE you glue it to the side!

Figured card with a star

The next card is also easy to make, but quite interesting. To make it, print this blank on a regular A4 sheet (you can draw it yourself):

Cut out a star from pretty colored paper and glue it to the outside of the card.

To cut out the exact same star as on the template, print immediately
2 blanks: one will go on a postcard, and from the other you will cut out a star, and then trace it on beautiful colored paper.

The inscription “February 23” can also be made without using a printer: write completely by hand or cut out numbers from paper, and write the month.

Postcard made from... matches

Matches are not a toy for children, but nevertheless, under the supervision of a mother, matches can be used to make a very original basis for a future postcard. Gradually grease thick cardboard with PVA glue and place matches on it in a checkerboard pattern. You can decorate the postcard with fragments cut out from a purchased postcard or you can draw it yourself, and then cut it out and glue it.

Volumetric postcard

Children will be able to make voluminous postcards for February 23rd. You just need to understand the principle by which they are made.

A blank for the future postcard is cut out of thick paper. Then it is bent in half and 2 small cuts are made in the very center with a stationery knife. The result should be a cut strip of paper right in the center of the card.

Now you can cut out a larger blank from colored paper - it will serve as the front part of the postcard. And then a blank with a slot should be glued to this front part. In this case, the slot DOES NOT STICK, but bends into the inside of the postcard like a step.

You can make 3 steps, as shown in the photo,
then the central picture will hold up better.

The base of the postcard is ready, all that remains is to find a suitable “military” picture, print it, cut it out and glue it to the steps. And don't forget to sign the card before handing it over!

Postcard with a boat

If dad served in the navy, then the child can make a postcard for him or even a whole picture with a paper boat. To do this, you will need thick cardboard as the basis of the entire composition, colored pencils, glue (Moment-gel is suitable) and a sheet of paper for making a boat.

Then everything is simple: colored pencils are glued to cardboard or a photo frame along the entire perimeter. A boat is rolled out of paper and glued directly to the center of the composition. Draw the sea and the sun with pencils, and the gift for dad is ready!

MEGA-simple stylish postcard

In conclusion, I would like to show you another idea for a simple card, which nevertheless looks very stylish and festive. To make it, you will have to call your mother for help, but children can cut out the base for the card and 3 stars from beautiful decorative paper on their own. Then mom will only have to sew the stars onto the paper base. What do you think of this idea for a greeting card for February 23rd? 🙂

Very soon our country will celebrate a holiday dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day. But few people know for sure that in 1995 February 23 was called the Day of the Red Army's victory over the Kaiser's troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

This is the complex name this holiday had. And only in 2002 they decided to shorten it and leave only the last few words. And so it happened that February 23 is called Defender of the Fatherland Day.

By the way, on this holiday it is necessary to honor not only men, but also women. After all, representatives of the fairer sex also serve, risking their lives.

This was just a small part of the background, and now we return to the preparation of this event.

It just so happens that on any holiday, including February 23, children prepare gifts and congratulations to their fathers, grandfathers and other relatives. They create crafts and cards with their own hands. Adults accept them with pleasure, and some even keep them. A paper card for February 23rd for dad is the kindest and most sincere gift.

Today I just want to help the kids cope with this task. Today I will tell you how to make postcards for February 23rd with a description.

DIY postcard for dad on February 23rd

First of all, I'll show you how to make an Airborne Forces postcard. Why did I choose paratroopers and not pilots and sailors? Because our dad served in the airborne troops, and we are proud of it.

Every year we dress in vests with the whole family and go to the city procession with the flag, honor the memory of those who died and then get down to celebrating.

Last year we were even able to attend international events, and there were a lot of impressions.

So for February 23, we decided to give dad a gift, and to include a postcard with the gift.

In order to make an Airborne Forces greeting card, you will need:

  • Colored paper;
  • Glue;
  • Scissors;
  • Sheet of cardboard;
  • Pencil.

We need cardboard for the base of the card; it is better to use a pencil for glue, because the parts are not large and it will be easier to use. You will need a pencil to draw clouds and a parachute, and scissors to cut out these details.

Let's get to work and start making an Airborne Forces greeting card.

The first step is to fold a sheet of cardboard in half, this will be the base of the postcard. You choose the color yourself.

To simplify the task, I can suggest this template. It can be printed if you have a printer.

In exactly the same way, you can either draw a parachute or print it. Here's another template for you.

It doesn't matter if you drew it all or printed it out, now you just need to cut it out.

We bend the resulting clouds and parachute exactly in the center. Lubricate one half of the parachute with glue and connect it to the half of the other parachute. Look, I made them in different colors, in combination they will resemble a paratrooper’s vest. As soon as our parachute is ready, we grease its edges and glue it to the cardboard in the place you like.

You can draw the slings, you can make them using threads, or you can cut them out from the template that I offered you just above. I used the last option.

Now we need to make the clouds. We deal with them in exactly the same way. Just remember to be careful, because the postcard should not be stained with glue. As a result, I ended up with this Airborne Forces greeting card.

In my opinion, it’s not at all difficult to make such original cards for February 23rd with children.

Postcard for 23rd

Master class postcard for dad with numbers 23

In this work I will not provide templates, so you need to rely only on yourself.

To make a card for dad with the numbers 23, you will need:

  • White cardboard;
  • Golden cardboard;
  • Colored paper;
  • Scissors
  • Glue;
  • Pencil.

When we have all this, prepare the surface and get to work. The first thing you need to do is bend a piece of white cardboard like this.

Cut strips of blue and red paper 2 centimeters wide and as long as cardboard. We glue the strips as shown in the photo. It turns out to be a wonderful tricolor. Glue a green rectangle into the middle of the card.

Now we take golden-colored cardboard, draw a twig with leaves on the back side and cut it out. It needs to be glued on top.

You can also use colored paper, but it will quickly wrinkle, because we only glue the twig in the middle.

In conclusion, you need to cut out two numbers from cardboard or colored paper. I decided to take scarlet color. Draw the numbers with a pencil and cut them out. Glue one on one side of the card, the other on the other.

The postcard is an excellent gift for the holiday of defenders of the Fatherland. In this article you will find a selection of templates and detailed workshops on making beautiful and original congratulations for dad, grandfather or boy. Some of them just need to be cut and glued, others need to be drawn, others need to be folded and decorated.

We have collected postcards for you that will be appreciated by both the military and those who have served for a long time or have not even served at all. In a word, any man will be very pleased to receive such a congratulation. Making cards for February 23rd with your own hands is very simple, so even children can cope with this task.

Pasta card for dad

Let's start with a master class for children - an excellent option for elementary school or kindergarten. We offer several options for postcards made from pasta and cereals. These cards are good because they don’t take too long to draw, so even the smallest children can handle them. Any dad will be happy to receive such a funny homemade card for February 23rd.

We will need:

  • white or colored cardboard;
  • colored or decorative paper;
  • glue or plasticine;
  • cereals (buckwheat, rice, peas) or pasta of any shape;
  • paints (gouache, watercolor or any other).

If the child is small, help him make a drawing and use plasticine to attach the cereal to the cardboard. If he already knows how to make some paper crafts and work with glue, it is preferable to use glue.

Fold the cardboard in half or cut out a rectangle that you will decorate. If you are working with pasta, you need to paint it right away, if you are working with other grains, you can paint it later. You can read how to work with certain types of cereals in our article.

Simple decor in this case will be quite enough. Cut out two rectangles: one from newspaper, the other from paper, make a mustache and a bow tie from pasta.

Add a congratulations. If a child knows how to draw, a postcard for February 23 can be made very interesting. For example, you can give dad a ship filled with cereal.

First, a drawing is applied, and then it is filled with cereal. Add colors, write nice words.

A craft for the little ones – the word “DAD” and the number “23”. Write the word on the cardboard in large letters and roll the sausages out of plasticine. To fill it, decorate with peas or buckwheat.

Help your child make an airplane (this is a very useful and exciting activity for children). Color it, write “Happy February 23!” and paste it into the card.

All presented examples of homemade cards can be changed and supplemented with any thematic decor in the form of stars, planes, tanks, etc.

Postcard using quilling technique

This is a very beautiful way to make a custom postcard for February 23rd with your own hands. Any man will appreciate the effort you put into her. A postcard using the quilling technique is one of the best options to congratulate your beloved man, dad or grandfather. Stylish, original and tasteful.

We will need:

  • several strips of colored paper;
  • cardboard for the base;
  • transparent glue;
  • white cardboard;

If you don't have a special quilling needle, you can make your own. To do this, take a regular sewing needle with a large eye and bite off its tip with scissors. Insert the game with the sharp end into any wooden base.

The card begins with preparing the design and details for quilling. Cut the paper into strips no wider than 0.5 centimeters or less. Twist the parts using a needle, simply passing it along the strip. Form shapes with your fingers. We have previously told you how to twist parts using the quilling technique.

On the cardboard we draw the desired image: the inscription “February 23”, a tank, an airplane, etc. We lay it out with cardboard strips, gluing them to the edge using transparent glue. So far they are not holding very firmly, but when filled they will fit tightly.

We fill the space with twisted parts.

An excellent postcard in a “military” style will be in the form of a tank.

You can post the numbers one after another.

Whatever you choose, attach the elements with clear glue. Add your congratulations and the postcard will be ready for February 23rd!

Postcard shirt or military uniform

We offer step-by-step instructions, after mastering which you will learn how to fold a postcard in the form of a jacket and shirt with a tie or a military uniform. Choose the first option if your man is far from the army, and the second if vice versa. This card can also be offered to a child as a craft for dad.

We will need:

  • white cardboard;
  • colored cardboard;
  • satin ribbons;
  • buttons and beads;
  • any decor;
  • superglue;
  • thread with a needle.

Choose the color of the paper in accordance with what and for whom the postcard will be. If you want to make an imitation of a military uniform, take dark green paper or khaki cardboard, otherwise use cardboard of any color.

Cut out a “shirt” in the form of a rectangle from white cardboard. Then we cut out the collar. A blank made of colored cardboard should be 2.5 times larger.

We place the “shirt” in the center and make folds in the form of a uniform wrap. We bend the top corners to make a collar. The shirt also needs to be folded to form a collar.

We place a ribbon in the center of the shirt - this will be our tie. To make a knot for it, we will use a bead. It's better to sew it on. We fix the tie itself with glue.

We glue a small piece of tape to a narrow white cardboard strip - this is a pocket and a future handkerchief. We will tighten it with glue and drape it.

Inside the shirt we write a festive greeting for Defender of the Fatherland Day. We add buttons or stars to the jacket if it is a uniform. Glue the pocket and create a border using a felt-tip pen.

When assembled, the congratulations are not visible on the postcard. If necessary, you can write additional wishes on the inside of the uniform. For example, many people put poems on the gift that can be read when the jacket is fully unfolded. Any man will be pleased to receive such a homemade postcard for the holiday: you can immediately see how much soul has been put into it.

Postcard with a three-dimensional boat

A child can make this simple card for dad. However, even a craft for a husband in this style would be appropriate. It will be an excellent addition to any gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day.

We will need:

  • blue cardboard;
  • white paper;
  • glue stick;
  • red and blue markers.

Blue cardboard – imitation of the sea. To make the card more interesting, we will place it: fold it in half and make two folds inward so that it stands. You can add additional lining to the bottom to make the structure more stable.

We make a boat out of paper. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see our article on simple origami techniques.

Glue the boat to the cardboard. Add waves from paper.

Cut out a rectangle for the flag and several seagulls from white paper. Using felt-tip pens we tint the flag and the boat itself.

The postcard is ready for February 23rd! Congratulations can be written on the other side of the craft. And inside the card you can put a small gift or something delicious.

Volumetric postcard with an airplane

Another way to congratulate dad on February 23 is a voluminous postcard with an airplane. It is all made of paper and glued together quite simply. A child from an elementary school will be able to complete this master class on his own, but children from a kindergarten will need a little help.

We will need:

  • blue cardboard;
  • white paper;
  • blue paper;
  • paper of any bright color;
  • glue stick.

Cut out several clouds from white paper. We make a circle out of blue paper, and then cut it out in a spiral 0.5 centimeters thick.

Draw an airplane on colored paper. We make wings separately and glue them. Glue the clouds completely, glue the spiral to the center, glue the plane to the center.

Fold the card in half. Congratulations can be written between the glued elements.

Such a voluminous postcard will appeal not only to fathers and grandfathers, but also to boys. This is a great idea for congratulating classmates.

Bonus: video master class

This is a very simple three-dimensional postcard for February 23, which you can make with your own hands in just 5-10 minutes. This congratulation looks original and very beautiful. Take a look at the short video master class and get down to business - you definitely can’t go wrong.

Choose any of the presented master classes on making postcards, all of them are good for congratulating men of all ages and statuses. Use the traditional colors of the holiday of defenders of the Fatherland, add interesting details and write the most sincere congratulations. Representatives of the stronger sex will be very happy with such signs of attention!

Detailed master class on beautiful design using quilling technique for schoolchildren

Quilling is a very interesting and exciting activity for those who like to make all kinds of paper crafts. It is popularly known as paper rolling. And this is justified, because all crafts (using this technique) are made from twisted strips of paper.

Compositions made using the quilling technique can be voluminous or flat. This is not a very difficult activity that can be done with children. But to achieve beauty in crafts, you need to show a lot of patience and perseverance.


Let's start making a postcard for Defender of the Fatherland Day.

We will need:

  • quilling paper in two shades;
  • a sheet of green cardboard;
  • special tool for quilling;
  • small die-cut pictures (for wishes);
  • PVA glue and glue stick;
  • brush (for applying glue);
  • yellow colored paper;
  • scissors.


Stages of work:

Fold a sheet of green cardboard in half. Glue half a yellow sheet of colored paper inside.


Now let’s start decorating the postcard using the quilling technique. We insert a strip of yellow paper into the hole in the rod of the quilling tool and carefully wrap the paper around it.


Be careful not to let the paper roll fall off the stem.

In this way we wind the strip until it is completely on the rod. Now carefully remove it and shape it into a leaf. Glue the end of the strip with a glue stick so that the roll does not unwind back.


As a result, we should have nine yellow leaves. Next we make one brown, flatter one. We roll six circles from burgundy paper. We arrange all this in the form of a tank.


We make a cannon from yellow, burgundy and brown stripes.

Now let's move on to the number 23. We slightly fold the yellow strip and bend it in the form of a two. Don't forget to wrap its lower tip. We also make number 3.


All we have to do is make curls to decorate the holiday card. Here it is worth showing your imagination. For example, if you bend half of the strip in one direction, and the other half in the opposite direction. You will get such a beautiful decorative element.


Using a brush and transparent glue, attach all the parts to the main card. We paste cut-out pictures onto the yellow background and write wishes.

The postcard using the quilling technique is ready!
