How to properly tape the tape, toothpick or special tool? For this you need:

• Secure one edge of the tape between the teeth.
• Take in the left hand a piece of paper, and in the right hand - a tool for quilling.
• Hold and pull the tape with your thumb and forefinger with such force that it does not tear.
• At the same time, turn the handle of the tool.
• After everything is wound up, do not rush to lower your fingers - let the workpiece remember the shape a little.
• After about one minute you can let go, then the curl will bloom a little - this is normal.

Then we cut out from the paper elements of a suitable size and glued to the contours of the picture. It turns out a flat application, but you can also make a voluminous postcard. For example, you can cut out hearts from colored paper and fold them in half. We attach one half to the cardboard, and the other one is left bent upwards. From such elements you can create flowers, as shown in the photo.
