How to make New Year postcards

The method of making New Year postcards is as follows:

Preparation materials: pencils, watercolor pens, hard cardboard, and colored cardboard.

1. Cut the colored cardboard into a rectangle.

2. Draw pictures about New Year customs on the front of the postcard. You can draw a scene of children putting up lanterns.

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.

Origin of birth:

Postcards are now popular in various countries. They are colorful and can be called cute little flowers in the postage garden. As for the origin and development process of postcards, I am afraid many people may not know it.

The advent of postcards has a history of more than 130 years. According to historical records, one day in October 1865, a German painter drew an extremely exquisite painting on cardboard and planned to send it to his friend as a wedding souvenir. But when he went to the post office to mail it, none of the envelopes sold by the post office could hold the picture.

When the painter was in trouble, a post office clerk suggested that the painter write the recipient's address and name on the back of the picture and send it out. Sure enough, the picture without an envelope was sent to his friend like a letter. In this way, the world's first self-made "postcard" was quietly born.
