There are times when you want to supplement your gift with any holiday accessory, but the classic postcard does not fit the case. For such cases, there is a great number of postcards with a non-standard design and one of them is a clamshell postcard. I offer you a master class in which I will show how to make a postcard to a clamshell in the technique of scrapbooking with my own hands.
How to make a postcard to a clamshell?
Necessary tools and materials:
- colored cardboard, scrap paper;
- pictures and inscriptions;
- ornaments to taste (beads, pendants, broads, rhinestones, etc.);
- Scissors, clerical knife, ruler;
- adhesive, double-sided adhesive tape;
- sewing machine (optional).
Such a postcard can be created for any holiday and even decorated with photos, but I decided to make just a very bright postcard for the schoolgirl girl.
Progress:
- The size of any postcard can vary according to your desire, but in this MK we will take as a basis the standard size. And first of all it is necessary to make incisions and creasing - where a solid line is drawn, a cut is made. On the dotting it is necessary to make a creasing (to press the place of the fold) - I made it with the help of a ruler and a handle of a tea spoon.
- Now prepare the paper - cut into the parts of the desired size. I took the remnants of bright paper from one set - this made it possible to create a very cheerful and positive image.
- We paste the details on one side of the postcard. If you also chose a paper of bright colors, then do not forget that, despite the seeming mess, the details should be combined.
- Carefully sew all the details and do not forget to watch, that when cornering (and, given the shape of the postcard, there will be a lot of them), corners and the very base are not wrinkled. It is better to immediately calculate the direction of the line.
- Also, at once we will sew paper parts for the back side.
- Choose pictures for the postcard - they do not have to completely cover the paper.
- Now paste the selected images to the substrate. In my version, the primary colors are green and orange, so I chose a substrate of two colors.
- Attach and sew half the pictures to the base - try to arrange them so that the decorations do not merge with the paper.
- The second half is sewn to the paper, for the back side of the postcard.
- Before you paste the second half of the paper, you can add the braids, and then combine all the parts.

The intricate form of the postcard will not only attract attention, but will also allow you to settle in a box with unusual souvenirs, as almost every family has it - to store cute and interesting gizmos that are pleasantly reviewed at leisure.
