DIY New Year's cards from different materials. Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year cards

Now we begin to prepare gifts for the holiday. And we will start doing this with greeting cards.

Everyone remembers Soviet greeting cards with kind hedgehogs, squirrels and Santa Claus. They are excellent and beautifully drawn, but now I want something different. More modern and creative, therefore, improvised materials and simple, laconic forms are increasingly used in creativity.

Now a postcard is a direction of hand-made creativity and represents an original design element.

You don't have to have an art school diploma to draw the main attributes of the New Year. Most often they are very symbolic. You just need to repeat the triangular shape of the Christmas tree and the square shape of the gift wrapping.

There are things that have already lost their functionality over time: old locks or buttons. But they will become a wonderful decor.


Or you know for sure that you have wallpaper scraps stored on your mezzanines. Take them!

The ideas of some craftswomen who create modern, beautiful designs for gifts and packaging are amazing.


For example, cross-stitched snowflakes.

Or Christmas balls from newspaper.


Absolutely everything is used for decoration, right down to colored pasta.

Idea: To create an unusual background, place a template on the base.
Put gouache on your toothbrush and move it along the comb.
When the application density is satisfactory, then remove the template.

Making a New Year's card from paper and cardboard

A beautiful Christmas tree will be made from origami parts.

To make such a Christmas tree we will need three squares, measuring 5*5, 4*4, 3*3 centimeters.


Take 1 sheet of paper and fold it diagonally.


We get a triangle by folding the square twice diagonally.


Fold both upper edges of the triangle inward.


We need three such parts.

On the white base we glue a beautiful backing on which our Christmas tree will be located.

We make a trunk out of brown paper, and glue a bow or star to the top; you can also use a button.

Creative ideas for DIY New Year cards made from different materials

Use a minimalist style. Recreate the silhouette of a Christmas tree using thin ribbon.


Or glue sequins in the shape of a New Year's wreath.


You can simply connect the points at the level of the branches with colored threads.

Just select a contrasting background in advance and use a needle to make holes where the threads will go.


Feel free to use wood chips, clothespins, newspapers and fabric.


Button decor is popular now.

Or, for example, try to apply an ornament in the form of a deer or a Christmas tree on the front side and carefully cut it out.


Glue a colored backing on the reverse side to create contrast.

Simple lines, several backgrounds and paper textures and an unusual creative greeting are ready.

Now let's get creative and create an unusual postcard.

Be sure to glue a backing onto the base, because the design is heavy and the card may bend.


To begin with, we will need 12 pieces of different paper or wallpaper.

We need to cut them 1 centimeter wider than the previous strip.


Before rolling into a tube, fold all the pieces in descending order to avoid confusion.


You can sign the width value on the reverse side of each workpiece.

Now take a pencil and roll up a tube. We glue the edge with glue or double-sided tape.


We complete all rows.

Braid and ribbons, beads or cones are suitable as decoration.

How to make New Year cards with your children

Making a three-dimensional snowman.


We will need:

  • Blue background
  • White paper
  • Thick double-sided tape
  • Decor

On a white sheet of paper, draw three circles of different sizes. This will be the body of the snowman.


1 circle - 5 cm, 2 circle - 4 cm, 3 circle - 3 cm.


We draw eyes on the head, a carrot nose and a mouth with dots.


We decorate with decor and a congratulatory inscription.

It is better to prepare the background paper in advance; let it be in festive colors: red, green, blue, gold.

Even just applying three stripes of festive colors already sets the overall mood!


Handicraft stores sell velvet and embossed cardboard, which diversify the textured combination of design elements.

You can make a background by simply printing traces of a Christmas tree or pine cone on plain paper.

Simply dip the Christmas tree needles in white gouache and transfer the print to the base.

Think about napkins with monograms and ornaments.

Children's fingerprints can make Christmas balls or animal figurines.

Use cotton wool and cotton pads to create a light and fluffy snowball or cute snowman.

It looks very creative when splashes of white paint are splashed in a chaotic manner on a plain cardboard.

Another option to receive New Year's greetings is to use a coloring book as a greeting.


I'll give you a few options.


Color the snowman.


Print them out and let your child add colors to them.

If you use thick cardboard, you can glue heavy decor in the form of buttons, beads or pine branches.

It’s also easy to make a snowflake decoration using PVA glue.

We need a tube with a spout.

We apply a drawing to the base with a pencil and squeeze out strips of glue along it. It must be shaken well before use. While it is not completely high, sprinkle with glitter and remove to dry completely.


This glue is considered completely harmless and non-toxic, so you can work with children.


If you are against working with glue, then purchase self-adhesive paper. It is easy to stick on and remove from the surface. And it is useful for the child to practice fine motor skills (he will tear off the protective layer).

There are also curly scissors on sale; they are great for trimming the edges of a backing or a congratulatory inscription. It is safe for the child because they are not as sharp as regular scissors.


Also use stamps. Purchased or made from half a potato or a household sponge. Believe me, your child will remember your time together for a long time and with pleasure.

My dears, I hope that you have found a unique and simple design to repeat. Put a piece of your love for your loved ones into it and they will definitely feel it.

For this we need:

  • Colored cardboard of different colors (the thinnest, it will be more convenient to bend and glue, and the ends of the folds will not be whitish)
  • Thick thick colored cardboard for the cover.
  • White paper (landscape sheet).
  • Sequins, sparkles and other “tinsel” for decoration.
  • Scissors, glue

We try to involve children, even small ones, to the maximum. Of course, at the age of three, a child will most likely not be able to fold a beautiful “accordion” or cut out a Christmas tree, but it’s easy to stick it on, sprinkle it on, and decorate it.

So, bend a sheet of thick blue cardboard in half and, if desired, glue an applique onto the front side. We also decorate the inside with snowflakes (you can use your finger to apply white paint or toothpaste to a snowball, sky, snowdrifts, etc.). Pre-cut to width to the depth of the postcard, we fold a white A4 sheet along the long side into an accordion (ideally, it’s better to take an even longer sheet, then the postcard will open wider, or make the folds very shallow, which is also not good - the effect of “snowdrifts” is lost). We coat the ends of the accordion with PVA and glue it to the base of the card. We close our card and squeeze its sides for a few seconds. All. All that remains is to glue pre-cut Christmas trees, houses, bunnies, etc. onto the “drifts”.

This photo shows how best to hold the accordion before gluing it on. After each accordion, close the card and squeeze it for a few seconds. Please note that thin uncoated cardboard is grabbed by PVA almost instantly, and when you try to remake or move the accordion, some of its ends may “remain” on the substrate.

You can make such a lush beauty from thin green cardboard.

The principle is the same - we make several accordions out of thin green cardboard,” but there is a nuance: we cut an A4 sheet along the length into strips of different widths and the width (depth) of the fold for each strip is also different: in the diagram I tried to show how approximately The part of the sheet I have drawn looks like.

As a result, we begin to bend the widest strip, making it the deepest folds - this will be the base of the tree. If you take a closer look at our Christmas tree, you will notice that the tiers of the tree are most advanced at the bottom, while the accordion at the bottom is folded with a large “step”. Further, moving towards the top of the tree, the depth of the tier and the depth of the bend decreases. We decorate the top of the tree with a star, gluing it tightly to the backing. The Christmas tree can be “dressed up” with sparkles and sequins

Cute three-dimensional New Year cards

In order to make such a card, you need to make triangular blanks from colored or decorative paper, and then glue the edges together sequentially. Decorate the card with a bow and write congratulations!

Volumetric Christmas tree

In order to make such a card, you will need to print two layouts on thick paper and arm yourself with scissors. Layout one, two (files in Word). It is better if your sheets are of different colors. Next we follow the photo instructions:

We decorate the resulting Christmas tree with sparkles, painted or glued toys, you can draw snowdrifts and a snowman, or gifts nearby, and we get, for example, this cute creation:

Origami Christmas tree

Even a small child can make such a postcard with his mother’s help. It is better to take paper with a beautiful background (for example, for scrapbooking). If the child wants to do it himself, take thinner paper, since it will be difficult for him to bend a thick sheet properly.

We decorate with ribbons, buttons and in the end we get these cute cards:

There is another way to make absolutely stunning cards, the manufacturing technology of which can be used not only for New Year’s holidays, but also for any others: March 8, February 23, birthdays.

These cards will occupy the recipient's attention for a long time and will cause a lot of delight. What do you need:

  • Transparent plastic lid (from food packaging), you can use lids from sour cream or yogurt.
  • Cardboard or thick paper for the base of the card
  • Filling material: beads, seed beads, pictures, buttons, etc.

We fold the base of the card into a booklet; it should be at least 3 centimeters wider than our lid. We cut off the side of the lid with scissors, which is used for closing, leaving only the area for gluing (see photo).

In the front part of the card we cut out a round window with a diameter 2 mm larger than the diameter of the lid window. This can be done perfectly smoothly using a compass knife or just nail scissors.

Using a thin pencil, mark a place on the back half that will be visible through the window. Glue the lid to the hole in the front of the card.

On the second side we make our picture, and then glue both halves. Can be decorated with braid and sparkles.

And here Santa Claus and the Snowman are hurrying through the snowy snowdrifts))). The snowdrifts and cloud are cut out of felt, the characters are made from buttons and felt, the tree is a real twig, which is slightly pasted over with pieces of padding polyester, snowflakes are drawn with a helium pen. Something like this picture can be “hidden” inside a plastic lid.

We hope that we have inspired you a little to be creative and charged you with New Year's enthusiasm :) And you can learn more from our blog!

A very beautiful DIY New Year’s craft, accessible in complexity to a preschooler, is a voluminous New Year’s card “Christmas tree”. The Christmas tree is made of rectangular strips of paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the tiers of the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: those at the bottom are the widest, the closer to the top the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The bottom strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large “step”. The higher you go to the top, the shallower the bend depth.

Postcard with New Year's embroidery.

Such a postcard will not leave even the most fastidious recipients indifferent. After all, here you invest your strength and soul not only in collecting ready-made parts and giving them a festive look, but also creating these very details with your own hands. For embroidery, you can choose any pattern that matches the theme of the New Year. This could be Santa Claus, a cheerful snowman, a festive tree, New Year's balls, the symbol of 2017 - 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 glue the embroidery and decorate the edges of the picture. This can be done in the following ways: use satin ribbon, half beads, rhinestones and sparkles. Such a card in itself is already a finished product and does not require any special additions in the form of sparkles and sequins, but if you think that they will only complement the overall look, then add them. If the card is intended for a friend, sister or mother, you can use a bow made of satin ribbon; such decor will make the product more pretty.

Ten to fifteen years ago, almost all of us bought postcards to congratulate our family and friends on the holidays. Today we are less and less likely to regard this as something significant and valuable: it is easier to call distant relatives, and to give a gift to loved ones without “loading” them with extra waste paper.

However, cards made together with children can become not just a greeting card, but also a holiday decoration for your loved ones. They can be hung on the Christmas tree or placed on a shelf along with other New Year's accessories. Here are some simple ideas for homemade cards.

Christmas tree made of threads

You will need:

Knitting;

hot glue;

pasta in the form of letters;

colored paper;

a can of artificial snow.

Make the base of the card out of cardboard according to your wishes (can be double or single, large or small). Cut out a triangle from another sheet of cardboard - this is the future Christmas tree, it should be slightly smaller than the postcard.

Take a triangle and wind threads around it in any shape so as to hide the cardboard base of the Christmas tree. Threads can be plain (preferably green) or multi-colored.

Hot glue the finished tree to the card base. Make sure the threads are not unraveling. Glue beads on top - decorations. Sprinkle with fake snow.

Use pasta or other letters to create the inscription of your congratulations. You can paint the letters in bright colors.

Serpentine can be cut from self-adhesive or regular colored paper using a hole punch.

Application "Snowman"

A regular applique will be interesting if it is made from different materials. We took felt and shiny sticky paper. You can also use other materials: foil, velvet and corrugated paper, pieces of fabric of different textures.

Otherwise, this craft is no different from a regular applique: the details of the plot are cut out and glued on. It is better to use PVA glue here.

Postcard “Mittens”

You will need:

Knitting;

PVA glue;

sequins, confetti or colored paper;

gel pen.

On the cardboard - the base of the postcard - draw the outlines of the mittens with a simple pencil. Then shade this pattern liberally with PVA glue. It is advisable that the glue jar have a sharp nose, then you can “draw” with it more accurately.

Cut 15-25 pieces of approximately 5 cm from the thread. Connect them in a bunch so that the ends are at the same level. Then start finely chopping them with scissors right above the “mittens” filled with glue. Thus, you need to cover the entire surface covered with glue. Correct the drawing with a sharp object - a toothpick, etc. Let the mittens dry and shake off excess lint. Make sure there are no bald spots - places where cardboard is visible.

Using a gel pen, draw a rope on the mittens and write your congratulations.

Stick on sequins, confetti or colored paper details.

Draw the outline of the card with PVA glue and glue a knitting thread of a different color (or the color of the mittens) onto it.

In this way, you can make “knitted” designs not only of mittens, but also of other items: socks, hats, scarves, and also decorate postcards, turning the details on them into fur, giving fluffiness to animals, snow, etc.

Card made of beads

You will need:

PVA glue;

beads or beads;

green felt.

Draw two circles of different sizes on cardboard - these are future Christmas tree decorations. Shade them liberally with PVA glue. Carefully sprinkle beads or beads so that the circles retain their shape and there are no empty spaces left in them.

Cut out a fir branch from green felt and glue it on top.

Make “pendants” for New Year’s balls in the form of a string of beads.

Christmas tree made from magazine sheets

A Christmas tree made from multi-colored magazine pages will look original if you stick it on colored cardboard (we used velvet paper). Simply cut magazine sheets of different widths and roll them into tubes, securing them with PVA glue.

When the tree is glued, place a star or other decoration on top. You can also glue beads onto the Christmas tree itself.

Christmas tree made of tangerines

Prepare tangerines in advance by cutting them into slices and drying them on a radiator or in another way. This craft will be a good decoration for the kitchen.

You will need:

tangerines in circles;

hot glue or PVA;

flax seeds, sesame seeds, coriander;

sugar or gelatin.

Glue mugs of dried tangerines in the middle of the cardboard, creating a triangle.

Then use PVA glue to outline them and draw a trunk. Sprinkle these areas with coriander and flax seed.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of tangerines. This can be done without glue. If the mugs are completely dry and the sesame seeds do not stick to them, run a wet finger over them, then decorate with the seeds and let dry.

Draw snowflakes around the tree with PVA glue and sprinkle them with either sugar (they will be white) or gelatin (they will be tinted).

You can make a loop on the top of this card so that it can be hung in the kitchen.

Christmas tree made of pasta

You will need:

pasta of any shape;

hot glue;

colored paper;

gold paint.

Cut out a Christmas tree from cardboard. Stick some pasta in the middle and cover it with gold paint. Then glue the beads on top of the pasta.

Decorate the ends of the branches with sequins. Make a star out of colored paper.

This card can also be hung on a Christmas tree, so a loop at the top would be a good idea.

Volumetric Christmas tree

You will need:

velvet paper or colored cardboard;

sequins, confetti, colored paper;

Fold the card base in half.

Also fold velvet paper or colored cardboard in half and cut out a Christmas tree.

Glue sequins, confetti or colored paper appliqués onto the tree.

Glue the tree by the tips of the branches into the middle of the card so that it becomes voluminous when opened.

Bouquet with holly

As you know, holly is a symbol of Christmas, so it, like spruce, can be used in holiday decorations.

You will need:

green paper;

hot glue;

velvet paper;

toothpicks;

Take 30 toothpicks, connecting their ends like a fan. Generously coat the area on the velvet paper where you will attach the bouquet with hot glue. Quickly, before the glue hardens, stick on the “fan”; if necessary, coat not only the base with glue, but also the top of the toothpicks in the place where they are attached. It is important that all toothpicks are held tightly.

Then drip glue into the hole in the bead and put it on a toothpick, creating a bouquet of your choice.

Cut out two holly leaves from green paper and stick them at the base of the bouquet so as to hide all the glue. Cut out a bow from paper of a different color and glue it onto the holly.

If desired, you can make toothpicks of different lengths and then the bouquet will be more lush, because the beads in it will be at different levels.

Quilling style postcard

You will need:

colored paper;

PVA glue;

letters made from pasta.

Cut out 4 long strips of green paper and twist their ends into a tube: bend one in one direction, the other in the other. Make several strips of colored paper, twist them into a tube and glue the ends to form balls.

Apply PVA glue to the cardboard in the places where your ornament will be located, and glue the twisted strips to create a pattern.

Decorate your card with glitter paper snowflakes. Cut out a ribbon from red paper and stick it at the bottom. Glue your congratulations from macaroni letters onto a red ribbon.
