Draw Happy New Year cards with your own hands. Do-it-yourself voluminous cards for the New Year. Volumetric New Year's cards

Since ancient times, on New Year's Eve, people exchanged greeting cards or sent them to relatives by mail. Unfortunately, with the development of digital technologies, people have almost stopped giving each other postcards; as a last resort, they send a digital version by e-mail. But it’s so great to receive a real postcard, hold it in your hands and fill your heart with the warmth of attention. It’s especially nice if children give a New Year’s card, creating it almost independently with their own hands. A handmade postcard can create a New Year's mood and bring joy to the author and recipient.

There are many options for creating New Year's cards, let's look at a few step-by-step descriptions of making a wide variety of cards.

For the youngest children, we suggest creating a postcard with a bright (possibly multi-colored) garland of clear fingerprints. Or use a small handprint to create a funny Santa Claus.

Step 1. On any flat object that does not absorb paint, make a rectangular frame from insulating tape or tape to the size of the future card. You can use a baking sheet for these purposes.

Step 2. Apply an even layer of paint to your palm and use a cotton swab to create Santa Claus or any New Year’s design.

Step 3. Reprint the design onto the card by applying the card to the paint.

New Year card with a snowman in 3D format

Take white construction paper and cut out three different circles. Shade the edges of the circles with a pencil lead, so the snowman will take on an advantageous shape. Glue the circles one on one, so that the smallest is on top and the largest is on the bottom, then glue them onto the card. From colored cardboard, cut out a triangle for a nose, handles, circles for eyes and buttons, and a rectangle for a scarf.

New Year card with snowdrifts

Creating this card will turn into an amazing fairy-tale ritual for your child. Any child will be happy to help you and will be able to show their talents to the maximum.

Required materials:

• Thin double-sided cardboard, various shades of green;
• Thick cardboard for postcards;
• Sequins, beads, sparkles and other decorations;
• Scissors;
• Plain white sheet;
• Glue.

Step 1. Cut out different Christmas trees from colored green cardboard.

Step 2. Fold thick cardboard in half.

Step 3. Cut the white sheet to the depth of the postcard you are creating. Fold it into an accordion shape.

Step 4. Glue the ends of the white accordion to the bottom, inner part of the card, and glue the Christmas trees onto the snowdrifts.

Step 5. Decorate the card.

New Year card with balls

As a gift, you can make a card not only with a picture of a Christmas tree, but also with bright multi-colored balls. To create balls, you can use bright colored paper or even glossy sheets of old magazines. Cut such sheets into thin strips of different widths and glue them onto a white sheet. From the resulting striped sheet, cut out different balls and glue them onto the card.

Decorate the Christmas balls on the card with bright ribbons tied in a bow.

You can also use flat buttons to create balls.

New Year's card with voluminous balls

Required materials:

• Multi-colored cardboard for balls;
• One sheet of cardboard for a postcard;
• Pencil;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Stapler (thin wire).

Step 1. Cut out identical circles from multi-colored cardboard so that they come out identical, use a compass or any flat round object, which you trace along the outline with a pencil.

Step 2. Fasten the cut out circles with a stapler (wire) together in the center.

Step 3. Glue the resulting flat ball to the base of the card and bend the circles in half.

Step 4. Decorate the balloon with a bow and sign the card.

The greeting card can also be decorated with multi-colored flags made of fabric or paper and attached or sewn to the card.

Postcard with applique

This card is easy to make and will bring joy to any recipient. Take rice grains as the material. Use long grains to lay out a Christmas tree, snowflakes or a star. Round grains are great for simulating snow.

Take dark cardboard and glue cut-out white snowflakes to it. You can place one large snowflake in the center of the card or use several snowflakes of different sizes. This picture looks very elegant and festive.

A Christmas tree is an invariable attribute of the New Year's celebration, and a postcard with a Christmas tree is an excellent gift. It’s very easy to create such a card, so feel free to start creating with your kids.

The postcard in the Scandinavian style will depict a Christmas tree created from strips of paper.

Required materials:

• A4 cardboard or thick paper;
• Glue;
• Colored paper (preferably bright), you can also use braid or scrapbooking paper, and colored tape will also work;
• Scissors.

Step 1. Take paper or cardboard, fold it in half and place the Christmas tree on the “front” of the card, and you can write your wish inside. You don’t have to fold the sheet, then the postcard will be single (for this version, you can also use A5 cardboard).

Step 2. Using colored paper scissors, cut thin strips, from shortest to longest, in ascending order. You also need to cut a rectangle for the future trunk.

Step 3: Glue the strips onto the cardboard in a herringbone shape.

Step 4. If desired, decorate your Christmas tree; for this you can cut out balls and a star on the top of the head.

See video: Scrapbooking. New Year card in Scandinavian style.

And one more thing:

Required materials for production:

• Cardboard (thick paper);
• Pen or pencil;
• Paper for scrapbooking;
• Glue;
• Decorative details (beads, buttons).

Step 1. We cut the scrapbooking paper into different rectangles, and the width of the rectangles should be the same for all, and the length of each next one should be slightly larger than the previous one (about 1 cm).

Step 2. Tightly twist the tubes from the cut out rectangles, wrapping them around a pencil or pen. Fix the tubes with glue.

Step 3. Glue the formed tubes together in a Christmas tree shape, from longer to shorter tube. Glue the resulting Christmas tree to paper (preferably embossed) or prepared cardboard.

Step 4. Decorate the Christmas tree with bright beads or buttons.

Even a small child can create a Christmas tree from bright store-bought stickers; multi-colored bright flat buttons can be used as decorations.

Older children can embroider a Christmas tree on thick cardboard; it is better to pierce the holes with an awl in advance.

It is very easy to create such a postcard if you embroider a triangle with a star on the top of the head and a small rectangle - the trunk.

A more complicated option is if you make holes opposite each other along the perimeter of the triangle, and then sew them with threads; use sequins for decoration.

You can embroider with threads whatever you want - a modest Christmas tree, a small deer and a sock with gifts.

Young children can also create an applique from a regular cypress or fern leaf and decorate it with beads, seed beads or sequins. The main thing is that an easy-to-make card will bring great joy to the baby and grandparent.

Creating a three-dimensional New Year's card

Volumetric cards look very beautiful and solid. It’s always a pleasure to receive and give such a card. You can also give a voluminous card to your favorite teacher or teacher.

Postcard 1

For production you will need:

• Thick paper or sheet of cardboard;
• Glue;
• Christmas tree blanks (can be printed);
• Stapler (you can use thin wire).

Step 1. Download, print and cut out the blanks for your future Christmas tree. (You can also cut out the triangles yourself from colored construction paper).

Step 2. Connect the parts together with a stapler (or wire).

Step 3. Glue the resulting Christmas tree onto cardboard or paper. Fold all the triangles of the Christmas tree in half, except for the bottom one. Sign it; if you wish, you can add decorations, for example, in the form of sequins or beads.

Postcard 2

The card is very easy to make, even a first grader can do it.

Required materials:

• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Thick paper (cardboard);
• Colored paper.

Step 1. Take colored, preferably green, paper and cut out rectangular strips. We cut out the rectangles in descending order, with the longest strip being wider than the others, and the short one narrower.

Step 2. Fold the cut strips like an accordion. We fold the smallest strip more often and the larger the strip, the more fold we make.

Step 3. Glue the Christmas tree onto a sheet of cardboard folded in half. Glue the Christmas tree inside the card, on the formed fold.

An easier option for creating a postcard is to fold a cut out green triangle into an accordion shape. Glue it onto cardboard and make a trunk and a star on the top of the head.

Postcard 3

This is a very easy to make, bright and beautiful card that all children will love.

For production you will need:

• Two sheets of thick paper (cardboard);
• Scissors;
• Various small decorations;
• Pencil.

Step 1. Take one sheet of cardboard, bend it in half, then straighten it and draw a regular Christmas tree on the fold line.

Step 2. Bend the cardboard with the painted Christmas tree so that the drawing is on top and carefully cut out the drawn tiers of the Christmas tree.

Step 3. Bend the resulting Christmas tree in the opposite direction.

Step 4. Take the second cardboard and glue the cardboard with a herringbone pattern to it. Decorate the resulting Christmas tree and sign the card.

Postcard 4

An original postcard for lovers of origami technique, very simple to make.

For production you will need: cardboard, scrapbooking paper, scissors, compass and glue.

Draw a circle on paper, draw a diameter and cut out both semicircles. Fold the Christmas tree as in the photo and glue it. Decorate and sign the card.

Postcard created using the rainbow folding technique

The iris folding style or rainbow folding can reflect your original ideas for creating a New Year's gift. The end result is a very beautiful postcard with a twisting spiral effect.

Required materials:

• Cardboard (thick paper);
• Colored paper, three colors will be needed;
• Glue;
• Iris template (you can download and print it or build it yourself).

To create this postcard, you will need to build an iris template; it will be built on the basis of an isosceles triangle with a base 14 cm long and a height drawn to the base equal to 16 cm. Take a rotation step of 1 cm. The dimensions can be changed as desired.

Step 1. Cut strips from colored paper. We make the width of the strip twice as large as the pitch and add an allowance of up to 4 mm. Thus, for this postcard, we cut out strips with a width of 22-24 mm. Make the first strips a little wider, as they will have to cover the contours of the tree. You will need a lot of prepared strips, so cut them as you create the card.

Step 2. Fold the cut strips in half.

Step 3. Take brown paper and cut out 5 strips (preferably different shades of brown) measuring 35 by 20 mm. We also fold these strips in half.

Step 4. Draw the silhouette of the Christmas tree on thick cardboard and cut it out very carefully (you can use a stationery knife). We make an iris template or print a ready-made one.

Step 5. Attach the prepared template to the wrong side of the cardboard using paper clips. It's okay if the silhouette of the tree is larger than the template. Next we will work from the wrong side.

Step 6. Fill the barrel. We begin to glue the prepared brown strips. To do this, lubricate the strip on the right side of the slot with glue and glue it so that the fold of the cut strip falls on the line of the template. Next, grease the cardboard on top and bottom as well as the first strip and glue the second strip.

Step 8. Glue the largest strip of the first color at the beginning of the template, try to ensure that the fold coincides with the line on the template.

Step 9: Glue a second large strip of a second color on the opposite side of the template.

Step 10: Glue the next large strip of the third color along the bottom edge of the template.

Step 11: Very carefully glue the next strip of the first color next to the first strip of the same color. Use glue very carefully, only placing small dots.

Step 12. Glue a strip of the second color along the template line, carefully aligning it so that the fold coincides with the line.

Step 14. Turn the card over and, if desired, decorate the resulting Christmas tree. Sign it and you can give an excellent New Year's gift made by yourself.

For greater clarity, also watch the video; although it is in English, the essence can be understood without words: iris folding tutorial papermart.

In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But I think that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make something 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’s cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around 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.

Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard

Penguin

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

Gifts

This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces of wrapping paper that you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon.

Grandfather Frost

A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper glued onto a card or gift bag. The fur of the hat and the beard are obtained like this: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

Simple drawings

An irresistible idea in its elegance 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 won’t be difficult—the stripes and squiggles that you draw when you’re bored.

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

Many, many different Christmas trees

For the first, you will need decorative tape or colored cardboard (with or without glitter - now you can easily buy these at an office supply store or in hobby stores). For the second - elegant straws for drinks and good glue.

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

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

This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do this well) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this card it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Using sharp scissors, cut out the snowy landscape and moon and paste it onto a black or dark blue background.

Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow is polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.

Hugging snowman

The author of the blog My kid craft made this snowman with her children. The snowman throws his arms up in joy when the card is opened. You can write your wishes inside. It will be interesting for children to make an applique (and paint their hands and cap),

More snowmen

Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts 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 your 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 this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balls

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

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.

Volumetric balls

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

Multi-colored balls

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

Cards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also evoke subtle associations with childhood.

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

What could be simpler and cuter than a button snowman? The second card will require more effort, but the result is worth it.

The New Year, even in the modern world, remains one of those holidays on which it is customary to give each other cards with congratulations and wishes. Postcards made by children are especially nice to receive as a gift. They are truly dear to moms and dads, grandparents, and are often kept in the family for many years.

A great variety of step-by-step master classes on making just such postcards are collected in this thematic section. All sorts of creative techniques are presented here, from easy-to-create hand-drawn cards to real three-dimensional works of art. Choose, delight, surprise!

The New Year tree is an indispensable attribute of the holiday. Therefore, postcards with her image will be especially appropriate. Plus, these cards can be very easy to make.

Instead of confetti, you can glue multi-colored pieces of plasticine to the Christmas tree. Even a child can do this part of the work of making a homemade New Year’s card.

I don't know what this weed is called. It grows along the roadsides like a carpet. Very common in central Russia. Snow is depicted with semolina and a little glitter is added.

The Christmas tree is made of fern, 2-3 branches are glued on top of each other.

There is also a fern here. But I cut off the sharp ends and collected the twig from individual leaves.

8. New Year's paper crafts. New Year cards made using the Iris folding technique

The Country of Masters website offers to make original New Year's cards using the Iris folding technique. The name of this technique - iris folding - can be translated as "rainbow folding". The design is filled with thin paper strips, which, overlapping each other at a certain angle, create an interesting twisting spiral effect.

The name of this technique, iris folding, can be translated as “rainbow folding.” The design is filled with thin paper strips, which, overlapping each other at a certain angle, create an interesting twisting spiral effect. To make a Christmas tree you will need a sheet of colored cardboard or thick paper, thin colored paper of three different colors (it can be plain or variegated), iris -a template based on a triangle, which you can build yourself or print a ready-made one. For gluing, use a glue stick.

First, get acquainted with the technique of constructing an iris template. For this work, the template is built on the basis of a triangle with a base of 14 cm and a height of 16 cm. The step is 1 cm. These dimensions can be changed at your discretion.

1. Cut strips of paper in three colors. The width of the strip should be twice the pitch, plus an allowance of 2-4 mm. For our step, the width of the strip is 22-24 mm. The very first stripes should be a little wider, because they cover the outer contours of the Christmas tree. It is difficult to immediately calculate how many stripes are needed. It is better to cut them while doing the work.
   


2. Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
   


3. Cut out five strips for the trunk of different shades measuring 35x20 mm. Fold them in half.
   


4. Draw the silhouette of a Christmas tree on cardboard. Carefully cut it out using a utility knife or scissors. Draw or print an iris template.
   


5. Place the cardboard on the template with the wrong side out. The cut silhouette may be slightly larger than the template. Secure the template, for example, with paper clips. All work will be done from the inside out.
   


6. Do the barrel first. Apply a little glue to the area of ​​cardboard around the slot on the right side. Glue the first strip. The fold line on the strip should be located along the line on the template. To glue the second strip, you can coat the top, bottom and previous strip of cardboard with glue. To prevent the strips from opening, they can be slightly glued in some places. Sometimes this technique does not use glue, but small pieces of tape that secure the strips along the edges.
   


7. Fill the entire trunk with stripes.
   


8. Take the longest and widest strip. First, just put it to work. The fold line should be located along the first line of the iris template. If the strip is too long, cut it. Glue the strip by smearing a little glue on the cardboard along the edges of the slot.
   


9. Glue a strip of a different color so that it matches the rightmost line of the template.
   


10. Glue the third strip below along the bottom border of the template.
    


11. Prepare the next strip of the first color. First attach, measure the desired length, cut, then glue. Apply glue not to the strip, but to the gluing areas! Use a little glue, just so that the strip “sticks.”
    


12. Glue the second strip of the second color, aligning it with the next line of the template.
    


13. Glue a second strip of the third color along the next line. Continue gluing in the same order. Strictly clockwise, strictly alternating the selected colors. Each time the stripes will become shorter and shorter. In the end, small scraps cut off at the very beginning will be used. When there is a small empty triangle left at the end, cover it with a piece of paper in one of three colors.
    

Now you can turn the work over and admire the result. You can glue garlands and decorate the Christmas tree as you wish. We completed these and other Christmas trees at the master class on December 13, 2007 in about one hour. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The execution sequence is as follows:

1. Take a sheet of thick paper or cardboard (white, colored, single-sided or double-sided). Fold the blank in half so that the decorative side is the front side for the card.
2. Draw a triangle-shaped tree on the cover or simply mark the boundaries of the future object.
3. Cut green crepe paper into rectangles. For one postcard you can take 2-3 parts. These will be used to make the tiers of the Christmas tree. The height of the workpiece should correspond to the tier, and the length should be greater, since the rectangle will fold like an accordion.
4. Fold each rectangle, making neat folds of equal or different widths. Corrugated paper allows you to form the volume of an element by slightly bending the material.
5. Glue the blanks to predetermined places. You can apply glue only to the top of the elements to make the tiers of the tree look more voluminous.

4. If the paper or cardboard was prepared single-sided, place the tree in front of you so that the green part becomes the front of the card and the white part is on the inside.
5. Draw guides along the ruler for future fold lines.
6. If the cardboard is thick, it is better to first draw along these lines with the edge of the back of a pencil, the corner of a ruler, or the pointed tip of scissors. This will help you make the fold line neatly and evenly.
7. Bend the workpiece along the prepared lines.
8. Start decorating the surface of the Christmas tree. For convenience, lay the template out flat again. In this case, the fold lines will be clearly visible, the child will no longer stick decorations on them.
9. You can suggest cutting out the decor from colored paper yourself if you have the appropriate tools. Scissors with curly edges and curly hole punches in the shape of snowflakes are perfect for this. The main thing is to use thin paper so that the child does not have to put a lot of effort into getting the decorations. Be sure to explain where the sheet is placed. Even a 2-year-old child will enjoy stamping stars and snowflakes.
10. If you don’t have figured hole punches, use regular ones. You will get colored circles, from which you can easily assemble beads or stick them like Christmas balls on your Christmas tree postcard.
11. When the decor is prepared, start gluing. If the circles, stars and snowflakes are not made of self-adhesive paper, apply PVA glue to the base and attach decorative details.

When the glue dries, the card is ready.
