To make a card or a gift, you need to prepare a few details, but first you need to think about the design, about what exactly you would like to do.

In this master class, you will learn how to make several types of cards and gifts with their own hands.

DIY crafts for February 23. Origami shirt

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 take into account several details: the ratio of the length and width of the rectangle is 2:1; the sides of the shirt after it is assembled will be 2 times smaller than the sides of the rectangle.




* You can try to fold an origami shirt first, 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 bend the edges of the paper to the middle (see picture).




3. Prepare your sheet face down again. Once again, fold the corners to the fold lines you just made. This time you do not need to unbend these small corners.



4. Now upper part fold the sheet with 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 fold two ribs towards the middle of your paper shirt and make the sleeves (see picture) while holding the ribs with one finger.



6. You have made the sleeves and now it's time to move on to the collar. You may have already guessed that the collar needs to be started from the other end of the folded rectangle. To do this, fold the bottom edge of the sheet so that the collar is about 2 times shorter than the sleeve.



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







8. Finally, fold the resulting sheet so as to align the edge 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.




How to make a paper tie for your shirt:



Using an origami shirt as a base, you can easily decorate your postcard. 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 postcard.

Execution steps:

If you do not have a ruler with circles on the farm, then we use improvised materials. For a large circle, a plate is suitable. For smaller circles, round objects with diameters of approximately 6, 4, 1.5 cm

  • First, prepare the details for the future rocket
  • We circle the first part with a plate. From it we will make a case
  • Then we cut out 4 parts with a diameter of 6 cm - this is the nose and legs
  • Two parts of 4 cm each are portholes
  • And 10-12 pieces of the smallest for the universe

  • The details are ready. Now let's take a look at the body. Take the largest circle, mark a point anywhere on the circle, and bend the wings on both sides. It should look like a triangle

  • Glue the nose
  • Glue the legs to the base. In the middle of a triangle, and on the sides, circles folded in half
  • Now it's the turn of the portholes

  • Take a prepared sheet of black paper depicting the sky and attach a rocket to the glue with the reverse side
  • And the final chord remained - to scatter the planets across the sky, between which our rocket rushes.

  • Then unfold and fold both sides to the middle again.

  • We turn the paper face down, once again go through the folds and wrap the corner at the bottom right at a right angle, and do the same with the left side

  • We bend the sides to the middle and take the ruler. We apply below and lift the paper up. We apply the ruler a second time and wrap the paper up again

  • Expand and see the rectangles. We apply the ruler diagonally and fold on both sides. Creases formed

  • We take the creases and pull up until folding. This is how the figure turned out

  • Turn over to the other side, Apply the ruler to the top and turn off a small strip for the shirt collar
  • Turn over again and bend obliquely to the center on both sides, leaving space for the neck

How to make a star on February 23 with your own hands from paper for classmates

I'll tell you how to do it volumetric star in a simple way. You will need a template according to which it is easiest to make crafts. But you can draw yourself. There is nothing difficult in this.

Prepare colored cardboard or paper, glue and scissors

Cut out two pieces according to the template. You can use different colors or do it in the same color scheme. Red marks the places that need to be glued. All lines inside the star are bent and pressed through with the help of improvised materials. For example, with the edge of a ruler or pen rods (of course, which has already served its purpose).

We bend the places for gluing and grease with glue. It is better to use glue stick. From him, the paper does not get wet and does not spread. Lubricate the necessary places with glue, connect the two halves and press firmly against each other.

And another way to create a star is drawn in stages in the figure. Follow the steps and get a beautiful five-pointed star.

I present to you the 10 best master classes - how to make crafts for February 23 with your own hands with step-by-step photos.

This approach to solving the problem of finding an unforgettable gift is traditional when giving children to their dads and grandfathers on February 23. How many such gifts are created by children's hands! To do this, they use not only a variety of paper and plasticine, but also sweets, ribbons, ice cream sticks and many other unusual items for this.

The availability and convenience of such materials allow them to be constantly used, and with each new craft, apply them in a new way. It's no secret that the same materials can be used in crafts of varying complexity. There are many such workshops, which are also aimed at children of different ages and with different skills.

Most often, children choose airplanes as a gift for February 23. But there are a huge number of ways to create them, as well as possible materials for this: cardboard, paper, matchboxes and much more. In this master class I will show you how to make a plane out of plastic bottle in papier-mâché technique.

We take a plastic bottle, in my case it is a small bottle of water with a volume of 0.5 liters. We cut it off with a knife just above the middle, and also cut off the nose of the bottle.

We make cuts on both sides and connect the workpieces.

If you wish, you can copy our sketch and transfer it to a sheet of A4 paper folded in half.

Using glue and tape, attach the wings and tail.

Aircraft wheels require 6 plastic bottle caps. Using adhesive tape, we connect two and four covers together.

We glue the wheels and begin to glue the plane with pieces of newspaper, after soaking them with PVA glue using the papier-mâché technique.

We glue the top layer with white paper or white napkins. After all the layers of the craft have dried, paint the finished plane with acrylic paint.

It remains only to add an application in the shape of a star, and cut out photos can be glued onto the windows.

Our plane is ready to fly!

02. DIY plasticine tank

A do-it-yourself plasticine tank is a great craft for Defender of the Fatherland Day. In the future, it can be taken to an exhibition or presented to a grandfather, father or brother.

For this master class, we need plasticine in green, black and red, as well as a piece of wire, a toothpick and a pencil.

We will make the lower part of the tank hull in the form of a rectangular bar, sharpening one side of it.

We prepare two black strips, pressing along the entire length with a toothpick, 10 large cakes and 4 small ones made of green plasticine.

We press the cakes with the back of the pencil and draw the axes with the tip of the toothpick.

We collect together 5 wheels and 2 small ones on the sides, wrap them around the track.

Glue a green protective tape on top.

Glue the caterpillars on the sides.

We take the second green bar.

We paste it by beveling the front part with a stack.

We attach the muzzle in front and add small details, an antenna and a star from red plasticine.

Our plasticine tank is ready!


In this lesson, we will make such an uncomplicated cardboard plane.

Draw all parts of the plane.

For the case, you can take the packaging of the juice.

We cut out the blanks, as shown in the photo. Red paper stars.

Glue the tail of the aircraft to the matchbox.

  • candies;
  • food film;
  • toothpicks;
  • scotch;
  • penoplex;
  • blue corrugated paper;
  • silver cord;
  • glue.

We decorate the edges with a cord.

Wrap sweets in cling film.

With the help of adhesive tape we attach them to a toothpick.

We decorate the steering wheel with ready-made sweets.

Our sweet steering wheel is ready!

05. Tank of two sponges

Such a craft can be a wonderful gift from a child for the holidays of May 9 or February 23. Its manufacture will not take much time, and a dishwashing sponge will be enough from the materials. Our master class shows the phased production of a tank from improvised materials.

For work you will need:

  1. two green sponges;
  2. scissors;
  3. ruler;
  4. dark marker;
  5. glue gun;
  6. ruble coin;
  7. green straw.

We tear off a dense layer from one of the sponges.

On the reverse side of this dense sponge layer, using a ruble coin and a dark felt-tip pen, draw six circles.

We cut them out.

Then we take a glue gun and with its help we fix these circles on the sides of the other sponge (three circles on each side).

Let's start making the turret of our tank. To do this, on the remaining soft part of the sponge (from which the dense layer was torn off), we outline a square with sides of 4 cm.

Cut out the tower with scissors.

We cut off 8 cm from the green straw - this will be the muzzle of our tank. We insert it into the tower, after making a small recess in it with the help of scissors.

Apply hot glue to the underside of the tower.

We fix the tower on the main part.

If desired, you can decorate the tank, for this we cut out small stars from red cardboard.

Glue them to the sides of the tower. Our tank is ready.

This craft will not only a good gift on February 26, but will also serve as a toy for the boy.

Such a star is made very simply - for it we need wire, red yarn and PVA glue.

With the help of round-nose pliers, we make a star out of wire.

We leave to dry.


To create this plane, you will need wooden clothespins, two ice cream sticks, a piece of cardboard for the tail, two thin wooden tubes and acrylic paints.

Using hot glue and tubes, we attach ice cream sticks to each other.

We make a tail blank from cardboard.

Glue the tail to the clothespin.

We paint the finished aircraft with acrylic paints.

Raising a sense of patriotism in children is one of the most important tasks of teachers and parents. But for children younger age it is not enough just to talk about the war, about battles, victories and defeats. For them very important place occupies visual aids, games and activities devoted to military topics.

Therefore, the child should not only hear about the war, but also watch illustrations, filming, photographs, and also capture their emotions in drawings or crafts. Despite the fact that mostly girls are engaged in knitting, this application will undoubtedly arouse interest among young defenders of the Fatherland.

To tie the application "Tank", you need to prepare the following materials:

  • Hook #1;
  • Yarn of medium thickness, for example, "Jeans";
  • Decorative star. If one was not found, you can take it from New Year's pendants to decorate the Christmas tree;
  • Scissors
  • Glue "Moment", preferably transparent.

We start knitting the appliqué with its “caterpillars”. To do this, we collect 10 air loops.

Then we knit 3 more air loops for lifting, and after that we knit stitches with one crochet to the end of the row. In the very last loop of the row, we knit 7-8 columns with a crochet to make a “fan” of loops. If the edge is bent in this place, then we increase the number of single crochets, since the appliqué should be flat.

Next, we knit double crochets along the opposite edge to the very last loop, from where we started the row. In this loop, we again make a “fan” of double crochets, but in a smaller amount than in the previous case, since there are already several loops in this place. As a result, you should get such an elongated oval - the "caterpillar" of the tank.

In the second row, first we knit 5 single crochets.

After that, we make 1 air loop to mark the beginning of knitting of the upper part of the tank.

We turn the knitting and knit 8 single crochets again.

To make a tank cannon in this place, we knit 5 air loops.

We add another loop for lifting, and then through these air loops we knit single crochets to the end of the row, including 8 loops of the “cabin” of the tank.

Turn the applique again and knit 8 single crochets. At the end of the work, using Moment glue, carefully glue an asterisk onto the tank’s “booth”.

Application "Tank" is ready. It can be used in the manufacture of postcards for Victory Day, February 23, or any other thematic crafts.

Are you preparing a gift for a man? Nothing to decorate gift box? Or maybe you have prepared an original postcard and you need a bright accent for it? The made male flower will help to get out of any situation. To create such masterpieces, you can use candy wrappers, notebook leaves, kraft paper, and anything you like.

On the Internet you can find special sheets that need to be cut.

You can take any design paper with a neutral or masculine pattern.

And someone may like this color option.

So let's start creating. For work you need:

  • The above paper is 5x5 cm in size. Having mastered the technique, you can create flowers of any size. The paper may be neatly cut or have torn edges.
  • Glue for fixing modules.

The first version of the flower
Fold the module in half, then in half again to make a smaller square.

It is necessary to make 8 modules in this way.

Four modules must be glued to any piece of paper with a small gap, placing them with a folded corner inward.

Then, in the same way, only without indents, we glue four more modules on top, turning them 45 degrees.

We decorate the middle, twist the edges a little, and the stylish decoration is ready.

If, when gluing the first four modules, leave a gap between them more, the flower will look different.
The flower is more difficult

Fold the paper squares as shown in the photo.

First, a diagonal line is found, then the sides of the square are tucked to it. The resulting airplane folds in half lengthwise. We make 8 identical modules. The last step: you need to carefully nest the modules one into the other, using the resulting pockets.

At the output we get original decoration for a men's gift.

In this case, glue is needed only to fix the finished decor directly on the gift item. If you make modules from squares with the same pattern, fold the modules exactly the same, relative to the pattern, then your flowers will look neater and acquire an additional pattern.

Here is such a cute tank that can be made from matchboxes and colored paper.

We glue the boxes with green paper as shown in the photo. For the tower we take a green cap from a plastic bottle, for the muzzle we wrap a toothpick with green paper.

The wheels are cut out of black paper.

It remains only to collect all the parts and the tank is ready!
