In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editorial website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make a thing for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.

Below we have collected ideas for beautiful, original and, most importantly, “quick” New Year cards, which do not require any rare materials to create - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around in the house.

Volumetric Christmas trees

Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.

Make 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows how to cut them.

Penguin

We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardboard (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes that we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look into the hobby store for them (or tear them off an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).

gifts

For this cute and simple postcard, you need 2 sheets of cardboard, a ruler, scissors and glue. As well as pieces of wrapping paper that you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbons and ribbons. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we advise you to look at this blog.

Santa Claus

A friendly Santa Claus (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper pasted onto a card or gift bag. Fur hats and beards are obtained as follows: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off the strips of the desired shape to get jagged edges. Stick on a postcard over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

simple drawings

Irresistible in its elegance, the idea is to draw Christmas balls with patterns with a black gel pen. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else will not be difficult - the stripes and squiggles that you draw when you are bored.

The same principle that underlies the postcard with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - this is best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very nice.

Lots and lots of different trees

Here you can use paper or cardboard with a pattern left over from children's crafts, or wrapping paper for gifts. Christmas trees are sewn in the center - this is not necessary at all, you can glue them. But if you really want to, then you must first make holes with a thick needle along the ruler, and then sew with a thread in 2 rows - up and down, so that there are no gaps. Draw a snowball with white gouache.

A laconic and stylish idea is a grove of Christmas trees, one of which is glued to double-sided foam tape (and therefore rises above the rest) and decorated with a star.

For this card, you need 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without red). As a color layer, you can use not cardboard, but paper. In the upper, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a clerical knife will do well) and glue it on double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees from various remnants of cardboard, scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper is tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - there are an incredible number of options here, using different colors of ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of the New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch is within the power of everyone, even those who last painted with paints in their school years. First you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them in, and when it dries, gently wipe the pencil sketches and supplement the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, or you can get by with plain, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out spectacularly. Cut out the snow landscape and moon with sharp scissors and paste onto a black or navy blue background.

Another white and green variant of the winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, crafts were made from this at school), it will be great, if not, you can just paint the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - Styrofoam disassembled into peas. You can also make circles out of cardboard with a hole punch and glue them to the postcard.

hugging snowman

Snowmen, inquisitively peering into the starry sky, will look more advantageous if they can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For the postcard on the left you need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape with which you will stick the snowman. Snowdrifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with a finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second you will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.

You will want to keep such a postcard for a long time. And all you need is circles of cardboard, a nose and twigs of colored paper. All this must be collected using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balloons

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbons. But balls are such a win-win option that you can afford to fantasize here: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And the strings can simply be drawn.

Another option is to stick paper with a pattern on the inside of the card, and cut out circles on the outside with a sharp stationery knife.

Volume balls

For each of these balls, you will need 3-4 identical circles of different colors. Fold each in half and glue the halves to each other, and the two extreme halves to the paper. Another option is colored stars or Christmas trees.

colorful balls

Wonderful translucent balls are obtained using a regular pencil eraser. It is worth to begin with to outline the outlines of the ball with a pencil. Then dip the eraser into the paint and leave marks on the paper. Fun and beautiful.

Postcards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to postcards, as well as evoke subtle associations with childhood.

The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but otherwise it’s up to you to “hang” them on a Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls or on newspaper clouds.

To get started, find at home: colored paper, thick white paper, paints, felt-tip pens, scissors, as well as beautiful beads, ribbons, bows, buttons, small tinsel, etc.

Simple and complex do-it-yourself New Year's cards

Finger deer. Take a sheet of thick colored paper, bend it in half. Dip your finger in brown paint and make some oval prints on the paper. Draw the horns of the future deer with felt-tip pens. Next, glue small balls as noses and eyes (eyes can also be drawn or cut out of colored paper).

DIY New Year's card with a Christmas wreath.

Cut from colored paper, preferably from metallized paper, or you can use foil, various gold pieces and wrapping paper. The circles should be different sizes.

Glue them on a paper card blank in a circle, but do not grease your mugs with glue completely, but only the top part to make the wreath voluminous. Next, punch two holes with a hole puncher and tie a ribbon bow (you can also stick a bow on top).

Postcard with buttons. Draw a Christmas tree on paper and stick small circles, and colored buttons on top.

Another similar option is a New Year's card with button balls. Top buttons can be decorated with rhinestones or beads.

Very cool do-it-yourself version of a New Year's card. Take 2 sheets of paper - white and green. On a white sheet, draw small triangles, and cut through the top two sides with a knife, then bend the triangles down. Open the card and glue a sheet of green paper inside.

Card with a Christmas tree inside: Fold 4 green paper accordions of different sizes, then make fans out of them and fix the edge with a stapler or glue. Now just glue the fan to the inside spreads of the postcard.

Wool Christmas trees. Take thick paper, fold it in half and make a small hole in the top center with a needle. And at the bottom, make cuts where the threads will be fixed. Wrap the postcard with woolen threads, passing the thread through the hole at the top, and at the bottom through the recesses.

DIY 3D postcard "Christmas tree accordion" - original gift with which children will be able to surprise and delight their loved ones.

For work you will need:

• Double-sided colored cardboard for the cover of the postcard;
• Green colored paper for the Christmas tree;
• Colored paper of any color to decorate a postcard (gifts, stars, balls, etc.);
• A simple pencil, ruler, scissors, glue stick.

Postcard "Christmas tree accordion" step by step

We make a Christmas tree

Volumetric Christmas tree consists of 6 accordions of the same length, but different widths. Therefore, cut 6 strips from green paper, the width of which is: 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm. The length is equal to the short side of the paper. The size of the postcard should be taken into account; in this example, the Christmas tree is glued to a half of a cardboard sheet. If you need more, all sizes can be doubled, and even add a few more accordions, for example, 7 cm and 8 cm, so that the Christmas tree is even more magnificent and beautiful.

Put a strip of paper in front of you with a narrow side, and start making an accordion from it, bending the folds of the same width (about 1 cm) up and down.

You will get such an accordion.

Turn all 6 strips of green paper into accordions.

We make a cover and complete a card with an accordion tree

For the cover, prepare cardboard, in this version only half of it is used.

Fold the paper in half.

Glue all the harmonicas, aligning them with the fold. Glue on one side first.

And then apply glue to each and press the other side of the cardboard on top. It will be easier for children to glue each harmonica separately. Both sides should also align with the fold and be butted. Postcard "Christmas tree accordion" is almost ready.

It remains only to glue a star on top of it, and on the bottom - a trunk, which, by the way, is also made with an accordion. And then - room for creativity. Decorate the card with any decor, clippings, drawings, both in the middle and on top. You can also glue another cardboard cover on top, 5-10 cm larger than the one on which the Christmas tree is glued.

Do you want to New Year make a nice gift to your relatives, friends, acquaintances? A beautiful postcard is always needed.

To pleasantly surprise the person you are preparing a card for, you can make a card with your own hands, decorate it as you like and give it as a gift.

There are many ways to do beautiful postcard do-it-yourself, and a few simple, but very beautiful and original ones are here.

Choose what you like best. You can try to make one of the suggested options or borrow an idea to make something of your own.

In any case, any person will be pleased to receive such a gift.

How to make a voluminous postcard

Very beautiful New Year's craft do-it-yourself, accessible in terms of complexity to a preschooler, is a voluminous New Year's card "Herringbone". The Christmas tree is made of strips of rectangular paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you carefully examine the photo, you will see that the tiers near the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: the widest at the bottom, the closer to the top, the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The lower strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large "step". The higher to the top, the smaller the bend depth.

Another voluminous New Year's card. Again, this New Year's craft for children is attractive not only in appearance, but also in ease of manufacture.

To make such a New Year's card with your own hands, print templates (template-1 and template-2) on two sheets of cardboard or thick paper and use detailed instruction from the photos below. It is better if the sheets of cardboard are of different colors.

At the end, decorate the Christmas tree to your liking. Volumetric New Year's card is ready!

Postcard with New Year's embroidery.

Such a postcard will not leave indifferent even the most fastidious recipients. After all, here you invest your strength and soul not only to assemble the finished parts and give them a festive look, but also create these very details with your own hands. For embroidery, you can choose any pattern that matches the theme of the new year. It can be Santa Claus, a cheerful snowman, a festive tree, christmas balls, the symbol of 2017 is the Fire Rooster and more.

To create such a New Year's craft, you will need: glue, scissors, embroidery, satin ribbons, and other decorative elements, if desired.

As in the first option, we first prepare the base of the postcard and give it the desired shape. Then we paste the embroidery and decorate the edges of the picture.

Such a postcard in itself is already a finished product and does not require special additions in the form of sparkles and sequins, but if it seems to you that they will only complement the overall look, then add. If the card is intended for a friend, sister or mother, you can use a bow from satin ribbon, such decor will give the product great prettiness.

Postcard from colored threads

The forest beauty is the main symbol of the New Year. And in such an unusual incarnation, both adults and children will like it! To create a craft you will need:

• three sheets of cardboard or thick paper
• scissors
• PVA glue
• Double-sided tape
• dense threads of different colors

Cut out a triangle from the third sheet of cardboard. Wrap it with multi-colored threads, fixing them on the back of the tenderloin. Decorate the Christmas tree with shiny balls of multi-colored beads and glue the tree to the postcard. Decorate the craft with an elegant ribbon and do not forget to print and stick a congratulatory inscription.
