On each of these strips, cuts are made across, not reaching the edge of 5-7 mm. For chrysanthemums still need middle. For them, strips of colored paper are cut 5-7 mm wide, and then tightly twisted around a toothpick. You need to do as many stitches as there will be flowers.
Now you can collect flowers for a future birthday card for mom. To do this, glue fringed strips to the prepared middle butt. After the flower sets, bend the petals of the chrysanthemum out. Screw a few strips with a toothpick inward. Chrysanthemum is ready. In addition to them, you can still make leaves and spirals. Now you can put all the chrysanthemums on cardboard and stick them. Decorate the finished card with a congratulatory inscription.
But if you plan to make a card with a photo collage, then it is better to resort to scrapbooking. But before proceeding to its manufacture, it is advisable to choose the topic. This may be a selection of old photographs or postcards from the Soviet era. And you can look for suitable beautiful pictures for your birthday in magazines. After you select a topic and find all the necessary materials, you can start assembling the card itself. All cut blanks from photographs, old postcards and pictures need to be laid out on a thick piece of cardboard, and then gently glued with glue-pencil. That's all, the card is ready!
