As a rule, posters become very popular on Victory Day. They are used not only to decorate indoor walls, but also to organize ceremonial processions and parades. If you wish, you can easily make a poster on the theme “” with your own hands, using regular and corrugated colored cardboard and plain white paper as a basis.
First of all, to make a DIY poster made from look more interesting, you need to create the effect of aging the white sheet. To do this, we write a congratulatory text on it (you can use scraps of children’s essays, some well-known phrases dedicated to the War). The text must be written in large letters. Then, using a brush, we cover the sheet with a slightly diluted coffee drink or coffee. Along the edges we apply the liquid a little thicker than in the center. Dry it. Now all that remains is to use a regular lighter, matches or a candle (it’s more convenient to use) to burn the edges of the sheet - and a message from the past is ready.
We place this sheet on half of our composition. From below we decorate it with a St. George's ribbon.
Now cut the red corrugated cardboard into rectangular pieces.
From each rectangle we cut out a carnation petal, narrowing one edge and cutting the second in a zigzag manner.
We put three petals together to form a flower head.
We place three of these flowers on the second half of the poster.
Cut out cups for the flower heads from green corrugated cardboard.
Glue them.
We attach a thin cardboard stem to each flower.
Glue leaves on both sides of each stem. A couple of leaves are enough to revive our flowers.
This article will help you design an original wall newspaper or poster for Victory Day. Tips that will help in this matter have already been published: you can learn ways to decorate a congratulatory poster.
The poster can be either a standard rectangular shape or any other, more creative one, for example, in the shape of a star, an oval, or a flag. Also, instead of a single base, you can attach individual elements of a wall newspaper or poster to fabric (the same flag, Soviet brocade) or directly to the wall (cut out large letters and numbers “May 9”, “Victory”, “70 years of the Great Victory”).
Patriotic poems for Victory Day are widely presented on the Internet, your task is to choose what will touch the strings of your soul.

Let the peaceful years rush by quickly.

You will never forget the spring of Victory,

The day the war ended.
Even though many are out of commission today,
We remember everything that happened then
And we promise our homeland
- Your wall newspaper can be very useful if you present little-known interesting facts about the Second World War, for example:
- the Nazis conquered France in 38 days, and in Stalingrad this time was not enough for them to even move from one side of the street to the other;
- 80 thousand Soviet officers during the Second World War were women;
You can design the poster in a retro style like a Soviet poster. You can find examples of real posters from those times by searching for “Soviet posters from the Great Patriotic War” in your browser’s search engine. The most popular are “For the Motherland!” and “Glory to the victorious warrior!”.
A poster is usually done by one or a group of people, but what can be done so that everyone can contribute to the common cause?

Lots of red stars placed in a circle on a white background allow you to add a little more color.
Another similar option. This poster would be great to complement with photographs or excerpts from soldiers’ letters.
To prevent the carnation on a black background from seeming too mournful, dilute the design with bright colors and some kind of positive card (for example, with white doves).
On such a template you need to paste a photo of dead soldiers - war heroes.

Hello, dear readers!
I don’t know about you, but at our school preparations have already begun for one of the most important holidays of the year - Victory Day. Many interesting events are expected, including a hand-made wall newspaper competition, in which we are taking part.
Our poster for May 9 is already ready, and during the work we made a master class on how to make it for you. I hope it is useful to someone.
So, working on a poster begins with choosing a topic. We had three for consideration:
Articles on these topics have already been written and posted on the blog in the “Projects” section. In general, we thought, and chose the theme “Hero Cities”.
The basis for our poster is a sheet of whatman paper in A1 format - this is the largest possible. In our work we also used:
- sheets of plain white A4 paper;
- colored paper (black and orange);
- orange gouache;
- black marker;
- black tea bags;
- scissors, ruler, brush, pencil, glue.
Now let's show the work step by step.
In our opinion, a poster without a frame looks somehow unfinished. That's why we started with the frame. Black and orange colored paper was cut into strips 5 mm thick. We took one sheet of each, there were enough strips, and there were even some extra left.
These strips were glued along the edge of the poster in the form of a St. George ribbon. There was space left at the top for the title.
The title “Glory to the Hero Cities” was first written in pencil, then the letters were colored with gouache and outlined with a black marker.
The base is ready.
Let's move on to the internal content of the poster. There are only 13 hero cities. And for each city we decided to make a separate piece of paper on which the name of the city is written, a brief description of the feat of the townspeople is given, and there is a photograph from the war.
Texts, photos and titles were typed in advance on a computer and then printed on a regular printer in A5 format. If you suddenly decide to make a similar poster, then at the end of the article I will post a link to download the document.
Of course, one could glue the leaves to whatman paper and be done with it, but it’s not that interesting. Therefore, we decided to age the leaves with cities. Make them look like vintage newspapers. They aged paper using tea. There is a blog about how to make old paper, so I won’t go into detail here. I'll tell you briefly.
First, we tore off the edges of the leaves with our fingers and made them uneven. The main thing here is not to overdo it and not tear off a piece of text. So, be careful.
Then we crumpled the leaves.
Literally, they first crumpled it in their fists and then smoothed it out.
Then they dipped them into the tea leaves, kept them there for 15 minutes, took them out, dried them and ironed them. Thanks to this tea bath, the leaves acquired the required “old” appearance.
Time to glue the sheets to whatman paper. You can place them however you like. We placed Moscow in the center, with Smolensk and Kerch in the lower corners. These three sheets are glued to the Whatman paper completely, with their entire back surface.
And we glued the remaining 10 sheets diagonally, with a corner. The leaves jump on each other. Therefore, only the upper part of the sheet was smeared with glue. So that you can lift the top leaf and read what is written on the bottom. This design adds interactivity to the poster and makes it more attractive to children. Thank you very much to our dad for the idea!
Stars were used as decorative elements, which were also first printed on paper and cut out. And then they glued it and outlined it with a red pencil. Although you could just draw them.
And the poster for Victory Day is ready!
The beauty of it is that it is fast, simple, quirky and informative.
And here is the previously promised link to download the archive of files with hero cities and stars. Enjoy it for your health!
Happy creativity!
