The name of this technique - iris folding - can be translated as "rainbow folding". The drawing is filled with thin paper strips, which, overlapping each other at a certain angle, create an interesting effect of a twisting spiral. - a template based on a triangle, which you can build yourself or print ready-made. For gluing, use a glue stick.

First, get acquainted with the technique of building an iris pattern. 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, as they cover the outer contours of the Christmas tree. It is difficult to calculate how many bands you need right away. It is better to cut them in the process of doing the job.
   


2. Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
   


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


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

6. Do the stem first. Lightly grease the area of ​​cardboard around the slot on the right side with glue. Glue the first strip. The fold line on the strip should line up with the line on the template. To glue the second strip, you can glue the cardboard on top, bottom and the previous strip 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 adhesive tape, which fix the strips along the edges.
   


7. Fill the entire trunk with stripes.
   


8. Take the longest and widest strip. Just put it to work first. The fold line should be along the first line of the iris template. If the strip is too long, cut it. Glue the strip, 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 from the bottom 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. Glue smear not a strip, but the places of gluing! Use a little glue, just to make the strip “grab”.
    


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


13. Glue the 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. At the end, small scraps cut off at the very beginning will go into action. When a small empty triangle remains at the end, cover it with a piece of paper in one of the three colors.

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

Necessary materials:

• Cardboard (thick paper);
• Colored paper, you will need three colors;
• 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. Dimensions can be changed as you wish.

Step 1. Cut strips from colored paper. We make the width of the strip twice as large as the step 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 Christmas tree. There will be a lot of prepared strips, so cut them as you create the postcard.

Step 2. Fold the cut strips in half.

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

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

Step 5 We attach the prepared template from the wrong side of the cardboard with paper clips. It's okay if the silhouette of the Christmas tree is more than a template. Next we will work from the wrong side.

Step 6. Filling the barrel. We begin to glue the prepared brown stripes. To do this, glue 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 template line. Next, grease the cardboard 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 match the fold with the line on the template.

Step 9. Glue the second large strip of the 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 near the first strip of the same color. Glue use very carefully, only putting 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 and you can give an excellent New Year's gift created by yourself.

How to make postcards for the New Year with your own hands

New Year card with yellow pig for New Year 2019

By the New Year 2019, we suggest you make a non-standard postcard with your own hands. It is unusual in that it depicts a cute muzzle of a pig, and the animal is yellow. You should not be surprised at this turn, because a new era is coming, albeit a short one - the year of the yellow pig.

Very soon, a good friend of man, a devoted and cheerful dog will be replaced by a wise and generous pig. At all times, this animal was known as an indicator of prosperity; it is not for nothing that even piggy banks are depicted in the form of a pig. We will not depict the entire figure on cardboard, but we will make only her head. The round piece will become the center piece.

What you need to prepare for the craft:

• thick cardboard of any color;
• yellow plasticine;
• additionally other colors for making all parts of the animal's muzzle, for New Year's decoration, for an inscription.

Prepare green (or another color) cardboard for the base, you can cut off the edges roundly. And also knead the yellow plasticine in your hands. Of course, the pig can be made more traditional - pink, but yellow is more suitable for a real symbol.

Press the yellow ball to the center of the cardboard and press firmly with the palm of your hand. Next, press down with your fingers over the entire surface and smooth. Thus, a round cake will appear in front of you, which will subsequently become the head of a pig. You will not only deform the ball to the desired round shape, but also press the main part to the base.

Start turning the cake into the head of the planned animal. For now, use the same yellow plasticine. Attach a small circle to later get a piglet. Make pointed ears and attach from above to the head

Take a thin red strip and stick it under the snout as a smiling mouth. Use pink dots to add cheeks and nostrils.

Add eyes. Pigs are usually depicted as blue-eyed. We can also do this. Use small white and blue dots. Glue our eyebrows above the eyes.

Now you need to decorate your craft so that it really looks like a New Year's one. It is not yet clear why such a copy is shown in front of us. Make many small plasticine beads of different colors to create garlands.

Bright tinsel sparkles under the ceiling in decorated halls and rooms. We also need to create a similar festive atmosphere.

Collect small balls into thin threads, attach them to the cardboard at the top. Make some colorful stripes.

And one more touch is the inscription "Happy New Year!". It can be written with a marker, but it is better to glue it after completing all the letters from plasticine so as not to disturb the overall ensemble. Paste the words on the top, bottom, or sides, anywhere you like.

Glue also small balls, pressing each with your finger against the cardboard to simulate scattering of confetti. Now we have a real New Year's card, from the canvas of which a smiling and positive muzzle of a symbolic pig looks.

Craft for the New Year with a Christmas tree made of ribbons

This lesson shows how to make a New Year's greeting card with your own hands with the children. It will be based on cardboard, and the Christmas tree will be depicted in the picture, more precisely, its imitation - a green triangle, decorated with green and white satin ribbon, bright adhesive-backed rhinestones. If you like this version of a New Year's gift, consider what you need to make it, how to make it.

To complete the festive New Year's crafts proposed in this lesson, the following were used:

• white and green cardboard;
• scissors;
• multi-colored stripes of corrugated paper;
• glue;
• satin ribbon 0.5 cm wide in white and green;
• red round rhinestones;
• rhinestones in the form of a flower - 1 piece for the top;
• foil;
• white lace;
• plastic bow with rhinestones;
• black pen;
• orange colored paper.

As you can see, the list of materials includes a lot of items, but there are no exclusive or expensive ones. In addition, some of them can be completely replaced. For example, green and white cardboard will be needed to create a background and a triangular copy of the Christmas tree, but colors may vary.

Corrugated paper strips are needed in order to make a striped bright cover, fabric or ribbons are suitable instead, you can also come up with another Christmas tree decoration together with rhinestones and so on. So, first of all, cut out 2 rectangles from green and white paper, and the size of the second blank should be slightly smaller than the first.

Cut the crepe paper into strips of arbitrary length and width. Cut out some foil stars (or candy wrappers).

Stick the strips on the top layer - white cardboard. Make a fun, vibrant cover by applying stripes along the length. Glue the ends of the strips at the back. Glue the entire structure onto green paper. The background for the postcard is ready.

Add a strip of white lace at the bottom, bringing the ends under the top layer of paper. Cut out a triangle for the Christmas tree from green cardboard.

Wrap a white ribbon randomly around the triangle (glue the ends at the back).

Then add the green ribbon in the same way.

Glue the resulting Christmas tree in the center. Decorate with rhinestones and a bright top. Glue foil stars around the Christmas tree.

On a bright orange paper cutout, write “Happy New Year” with a pen and glue at the bottom - under the lace, add a bow.

A bright handmade congratulation is ready.

3D format is very popular in the modern world. You can apply it to a paper postcard. To do this, you just need to take a few decorative elements and stick them on a white base.

The main decoration will be a paper figurine, for example, an angel. A similar image, suitable for the New Year theme, can be found in any magazine. Cut it out with scissors, and the central part of the craft is ready.

Materials:

• A5 paper - 1 sheet;
• sequins;
• silicone glue;
• paper figurine of an angel;
• double sided tape.

Crafting Instructions

Fold a sheet of white paper in half. It can be a regular landscape sheet or cardboard for creativity.

Cut off small pieces of double sided tape. We stick them on a paper base in the place of the alleged location of the angel.

Remove the top protective layer from the pieces of adhesive tape.

Glue the paper figure of an angel on double-sided tape.

Another piece of tape will be needed to attach the snowflake. We glue it on a free area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe sheet.

From ordinary white paper cut out a small snowflake. It should have an empty center. We apply it to the workpiece so that a piece of adhesive tape is in the central hole. Glue a sequin in the form of a snowflake on top. Thus, both snowflakes will be fixed on paper.

With silicone glue, draw abstract stripes on paper.

We lay out sequins of different colors along the strips of glue.

On the remaining empty areas of paper, glue single sequins. We arrange them without a specific system or put them into patterns.

All decorative elements protrude above the surface of the paper. They are convex and have different thicknesses. Thanks to this, the craft as a whole turns out to be voluminous and unusual.

A plasticine flat image of a Christmas ball glued to cardboard will look like a three-dimensional 3D postcard of the New Year theme. Even using plasticine, the ball can be neatly decorated, make an interesting drawing on it, get a unique gift or holiday decor item.

Before buying ready-made postcards in the store, try to make something with your own hands. The plasticine version can be made with the children. You will have a wonderful hand-painted souvenir in your hands.

To create a beautiful New Year's craft with a plasticine pattern, prepare:

• bright red cardboard;
• several pieces of plasticine of different sizes and colors to complete the body of the ball itself and the tail, decor, bow, as well as the green Christmas tree branch on which this ball is attached;
• thin needle or stick.

It is the bright base in the form of thick cardboard that will set the character of the entire product. A beautiful ball on an expressive background will be favorably emphasized, will not get lost, but will sparkle with new colors, so take the brightest color from the set. To create a New Year's image in the form of a ball, knead a few pieces of plasticine in your hands.

Knead the selected color in the largest amount in your hands, make a round flat cake. Glue as the body of the Christmas ball on the cardboard. At the top, glue a small loop with which the ball is attached to a spruce branch (it can be made from plasticine of a different color).

Pull a piece of blue plasticine into a thin thread, make small peas from the white mass. All these details will be used to further decorate the ball. An interesting ornament is to be created.

Glue a path of two blue plasticine threads in the center across the body of the ball. Between them, place white balls in a row.

Pierce each small white dot with the tip of a needle or stick to make an interesting visual effect.

Prepare an additional yellow sausage by pressing the segments with your fingers at equal distances from each other, make a zigzag. Glue 2 zigzag strips at the top and bottom. Between the corners, also glue the white balls that are left over from the previous operation.

A beautiful bright yellow bow will also fit perfectly into the overall ensemble. Make a decoration with loops and ponytails, glue the ball itself to the loop.

It is advisable to arrange a large central pattern so that there is still room for a spruce branch at the top. The ball should be suspended from it. Make an oblong green flatbread.

Glue at the top of the picture, adjacent to the top loop. Make needles on the Christmas tree using the same thin stick. Now the product looks really like a living, voluminous application.

After the lesson, you will see that making New Year's gifts with your own hands is much more interesting than just going around the shops in search of ready-made products. And the kids will definitely love this.

New Year's card in scrapbooking technique

You will get an elegant and unusual craft if you buy designer paper and use it for needlework. Today on sale you can find all kinds of materials for creativity: foil, paper in the form of a leather texture, sheets with colored ornaments and much more. And you also need to be prepared for the fact that when creating it, you can use not only paper, but also other materials, for example, ribbons, rhinestones, bright floss threads, chains, and so on.

A simple version of a scrapbooking postcard is presented in this tutorial. What is needed to complete it? This is a limited list, but you can easily expand it.

To create a New Year's card, the following materials are suitable:

• designer cardboard, the texture of which resembles green leather;
• design paper of three types with different patterns;
• cardboard with a shiny foil coating;
• rhinestones of different sizes, but the same color and shape;
• thin green satin ribbon;
• Velcro sticker with New Year's inscription;
• small pebble for a bow.

Paper Tools:

• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• glue.

Plain colored paper or cardboard will also work, but foil and leather-like sheets look very interesting. From the prepared sheets, you need to cut 2 layers of a rectangular shape, and then put them together. Glue the rectangles on top of each other.

Make the foil the bottom layer, the green skin the top. Using a ruler and pencil, draw sketches of rectangles on the sheets, then cut them out along the contour. It is necessary to make sure that the silvery part peeks out from under the green textured one. The size of the rectangle of the bottom layer needs to be made a little larger (with runs on the sides of about 0.5 cm).

Glue the flags on the top green paper. These decor items are often used to decorate halls, houses, shops, apartments for the New Year holidays. Cut out 3 different length flags from colored design paper. Stick the parts hardly, their length will gradually decrease.

Cut a strip from a thin green ribbon of satin texture, the length of which, with small starts, is equal to the width of the upper green rectangle. In the upper part (where the flags are located), glue a smooth satin line. Bring the ends back, after dripping with glue.

In order not to write the inscription "Happy New Year!" on your own, buy a sheet of themed stickers. Take a suitable Velcro sticker and add to the free space. Glue a bow with a pebble to the ribbon.

And the last sparkling touch - rhinestones. If they gradually decrease in size, then in general the craft will look stylish.

If creative inspiration strikes you, then you can easily make a beautiful gift to someone close to the New Year. The main thing is to choose materials that will look elegant on their own.

Christmas tree option

How to make such a craft with a beautiful elegant Christmas tree, see a step-by-step master class.

With a plasticine snowflake

An interesting handmade postcard will become an unusual craft filled with positive energy. Unique products are a gift for any occasion. But still I want to stick to the given topic. For example, if we are talking about the New Year, then it is better to depict some kind of winter ornament or figures suitable for the holiday.

In this master class, a variation of the New Year's card from plasticine with the image of a snowflake is shown. And this snowflake does not have to be white, as we are used to. If we make it green, then it will look very much like a Christmas tree - the central object of a fabulous winter holiday.

Are you interested in this craft? Do you want to repeat this New Year's craft with a plasticine snowflake with your children? This tutorial is here to help everyone. The central object of the application - a snowflake - can be made separately if you wish.

Materials needed for winter creativity:

• canvas-cardboard;
• mass for drawing a picture - plasticine;
• decoration - rhinestones;
• a tool for drawing relief lines - a stack or a toothpick.

Since we planned to create a green snowflake - the central element of the card, we need to choose some kind of bright background that blends beautifully with this color. For example, red cardboard is suitable. It just needs to be cut off from a large sheet.

You can also use scrapbooking paper with a monotonous, unobtrusive pattern, a white base, or your own hand-painted paper. A green snowflake must be supplemented with some other color, for example, white, in order to create a pattern on the figure.

Soften the green plasticine in your hands, press down on top. You can immediately press the mass with your palm to the surface in the central part. Now the resulting cake needs to be turned into a snowflake.

First, carefully cut out the star with 6 rays. Draw a sketch with the tip of a toothpick to get a smooth and beautiful result. Then cut off all unnecessary along the indicated line, pressing harder.

Using the same tool or stack, make the rays of the snowflake sharper, more carved. Press the plasticine in the right places in the same way.

Make a thin white pattern on the surface of the green blank. Glue a white thin thread along each ray, place the petals in the form of a flower in the center.

Glue a sparkling crystal in the middle, press it tightly into the plasticine. Press down on each petal with a toothpick.

Decorate the rays with small grains, pushing each with a point.

Now write a congratulatory phrase "Happy New Year!". Since the image on the cardboard is plasticine, it is better to make the inscription from thin threads of bright color.

Add a glowing effect by distributing small green segments between the rays.

Postcard "Happy New Year!" ready, it turned out bright and thematic.

In winter, when there is frost and a snowstorm outside the window, you want warmth and comfort. Everything should be warm and cozy at this time of the year, including New Year's crafts. Don't believe? Then we offer you the idea of ​​​​creating a beautiful New Year's card with a decor in the form of a mitten, which will undoubtedly cheer up those who receive it during the holidays.

To make this “cozy” masterpiece, you need: colored cardboard and colored paper, multi-colored cardboard (you can also use bright paper for gift wrapping instead), bright threads, glue, scissors and a hole punch.

The first step is the foundation. For her, we will use a sheet of white thick cardboard, folded in half. The interior decoration (the so-called "wishes box") is two rectangles of colored paper, slightly smaller than the postcard itself.

We carefully glue them inside the product. On the outer front side, glue a rectangle of cardboard of the same size and shade.

On the reverse side of multi-colored cardboard (or gift wrapping paper) we draw a mitten of the appropriate shape.

We seal its upper edge from the “wrong side” with a strip of cardboard and make a series of holes in it with a hole punch.

To decorate the mittens, we will use threads. First you need to connect the threads from different coils into one and cut into strips of 12-15 cm.

To attach the threads to the mitten, fold the strip in half, thread it through the hole and make a loop. So we decorate all the holes of the mittens.

Lubricate the reverse side of the mitten with glue (we pay special attention to the part where the threads are threaded) and glue it to the front part.

A beautiful postcard with a decor in the form of a mitten is ready. Warmth and comfort in winter days!

New Year's cards have already gone digital for many. They are sent via email or smartphones. But the paper version still retains its unique charm. If you want to surprise the recipient doubly, then it is preferable to make a paper card, like a New Year's gift, with your own hands.
