How to make leaf postcards

How to make leaf postcards:

1. Go outside and pick up the leaves you like. Try to choose leaves with deeper veins and flat leaves, such as ginkgo, crape myrtle, red maple, etc.

2. Wash the leaves and dry them with paper.

3. Use water chalk to paint one side of the leaves. Pay attention to the paint evenly when applying it, and there should be paint on the entire leaf.

4. Test the pressure on white paper first, in order to use up part of the excess paint.

5. Find the correct position on the postcard, gently place the blade on it, and press every position of the blade evenly to ensure that the blade is fully in contact with the postcard. Avoid blade movement during beating.

6. After completion, gently uncover it and your leaf rubbing is completed.

A postcard is a card with written text and an image that can be posted directly without an envelope. The image can be photography, painting, or design? It must be posted with enough Face value stamps. It has an image on the front, write the recipient's postal code, address and name on the reverse, and write what you want to say to the recipient in the other areas.

The advantage is that no envelope is needed. The disadvantage is that it is small and has no confidentiality. The content written on the postcard is public and can be seen by others. The content usually does not involve privacy concerns, so it is called an open letter. The postage for postcards is cheaper than that for ordinary letters.

According to the China Post business description, ordinary people can print postcards by themselves but are not allowed to mark them with "China Post". Therefore, many people will call postcards issued by the post office "postal cards" (postal cards). , while private printers generally refer to it as "postcard".
