A simple Hippo postcard craft.

To invite friends to a children's birthday party or just to say nice words will help this craft in the form of a card "Hippo", made with your own hands. Bright colors and funny look can not fail to please the child.

To make a paper hippo we will need:

[INDENT]- white, blue and red double sided half board;
- a circlet;
- stationery glue;
- black marker;
- scissors;
- a simple pencil;
- ruler[/INDENT]

Stages of making a craft postcard:

1. Our craft postcard will have a round base. To do this, cut out two circles from blue double-sided half-cardboard.

2. Fold one circle in half.

3. Glue it to the other circle.

4. Make ears for the hippo. Cut out two circles each from blue and red double-sided cardboard.

5. Glue the red circles to the blue circles with stationery glue.

6. Glue the finished ears to the back of the craft.

7. Make the hippo's eyes. To do this, take white double-sided half-cardboard and cut out a couple of circles. Use a black marker to draw pupils on them.

8. Cut out small circles from red double-sided half-cardboard, which will be the nose of our hippopotamus.

9. Glue the circles to the desired places with stationery glue.

10. Cut out a circle from white double-sided half-cardboard to have a place to sign the card. Fold it in half.

11. Glue the circle into the hippo's mouth. Sign the card: write from whom it is from and to whom it is intended. If you use it as an invitation to a children's birthday party, then be sure to specify the place of the celebration, its date and time, as well as the dress code.
