Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are emergency situations for fever when the child needs to be given medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and use antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? What medicines are the safest?
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 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, 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.
Make 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 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.
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 - mouth and 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 be easy - 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 - this is best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very nice.
Lots and lots of different trees
For the first, you will need decorative tape or colored cardboard (with or without glitter - now you can easily buy these at the stationery store or hobby stores). For the second - elegant straws for drinks and good glue.
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 at all necessary, 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 to play with colors and textures - there is 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 up, 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 is styrofoam disassembled into peas. You can also make circles out of cardboard with a hole punch and glue them to the postcard.
hugging snowman
The author of the My kid craft blog made this snowman with her children. The snowman throws up his hands happily when the card is opened. Wishes can be written inside. It will be interesting for children to make an application (and paint their hands and a hat),
More snowmen
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 allow yourself 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 the rest is up to you - to “hang” them on a Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls or on newspaper clouds.
What could be simpler and cuter than a snowman made of buttons? The second postcard will require more effort, but the result is worth it.
It is customary to give postcards for all holidays marked and not marked on the calendar. This applies to large religious holidays such as Easter or personal and small ones such as the day of acquaintance or a big purchase. All memorable dates need postcards and the New Year is no exception. As you know, you can’t buy something made directly by human hands in a store and you won’t meet another one. Everything is unique.
We offer you to please and surprise your friends and acquaintances, colleagues and friends with New Year's cards. And to this we are attaching a selection of ideas for inspiration on the theme of New Year's cards.
Idea number 1. Christmas card with a Christmas tree in a skirt
This is a large postcard. If you plan to write some kind of wish, and then print it on a printer, then this should be done before decorating.
So, what you need to create a card with a Christmas tree from corrugated paper:
2. Corrugated paper.
3. Scissors.
5. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
6. Simple pencil.
Let's start by preparing the base for the postcard. To do this, take cardboard or thick paper, bend it in half. In principle, the standard move for a postcard. Next, on one of their halves, make a rough sketch of the future Christmas tree. This can be done with a couple of lines.
Now let's prepare the corrugated paper. You need to cut it into strips about one and a half centimeters high, and in length, curl this value because how fluffy the Christmas tree needs to be. We suggest taking a third of the planned length for allowance. The strips should be of different sizes to keep the triangular shape of the Christmas tree. That is, both the shortest and longest strips should be available.
Now you need to glue the strips of corrugated paper into place. It is better to start from the lower tiers and gradually rise up. Focusing on the marks made earlier and using glue or double-sided tape, glue the strips by slightly picking them up. To get a kind of skirt with tails.
When finished, you can decorate the top of your Christmas tree with a star and glue on glitter, rain, bows, or something like that.
You need to pick up some elements or come up with kind words. To make your postcard even more impressive for the addressee.
Idea number 2. New Year card and some scrapbooking
In this option, it is better to print out the wish in advance or print it on a separate piece of paper, which can also be beaten and presented in an original way.
So, what do you need to create a postcard:
1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Scissors.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Scrap paper.
6. Any object shaped like a pencil.
Scarpbooking postcard, for beginners
Decide on the size of the future Christmas tree. And based on this, plan how much paper you need. More precisely, how many and what size do you need to cut rectangles from scrap paper.
Then, as you have decided on the number of rectangles and cut them out, you need to roll each one into cylinders. The basis of which will be a pencil or something cylindrical, which you have at hand. You need to twist the tubes in the direction of the width, and so that they keep their shape, after you remove the base, you need to fix the structure with glue.
After each rectangle is twisted into a tube, you need to connect all the tubes together with glue. Naturally, one should adhere to approximately the shape of a Christmas tree, that is, a triangle.
Now let's deal with the base of the postcard. Take the prepared sheet of cardboard or thick paper and bend it in half. Now you need to glue the Christmas tree on one of the halves. But before that, the glue on the Christmas tree should grab and dry enough.
After the Christmas tree is glued to the base of the card, it's time to decorate it. For this purpose, you can use all kinds of decorations - buttons, miniature bows, ribbons, beads, rivets, sequins, sequins, in a word, whatever your heart desires.
Decorations can be glued on double-sided tape.
Don't forget to write something nice to the addressee inside.
Idea number 3. New Year's card in the style of "children's hands"
This idea is perfect for little needleworkers and needlewomen. She is uncomplicated, but sweet and open, just like a baby soul. Let's not hesitate, call the kids and get started.
1. Colored cardboard. We suggest taking the classic combination of colors: red and green. But you are free to change them.
2. Sequins, rhinestones, sequins.
3. Wrapping paper or candy wrapper.
4. Black thin marker.
5. Scissors.
6. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
7. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
8. Stapler.
9. Hot glue.
Let's start by preparing the base for the postcard. To do this, take the red cardboard and simply bend it in half. You can cut off the corners of the resulting rectangle a little. This will make your message more interesting.
We make a Christmas tree. You will need to take green cardboard, and bending it in half, then cut it. From one half, bend the "accordion". Determine the width of the "step" yourself. We recommend at least one centimeter and no more than three. Grab one of the ends of the "accordion" with a stapler, you can apply two staples for reliability.
Now let's make a stump. To do this, cut out a simple rectangle from wrapping paper or candy wrapper. If you use the latter, then do not forget to first iron it through a plain piece of paper. This will help straighten the wrapper.
Now you need to glue the Christmas tree to the base of the card. Hot glue is perfect for this purpose. It is better not to trust this operation to children. Under the free end of the Christmas tree, fill the stumps and glue it too.
Advice. Since the thermal gun heats the rod to a sufficiently high temperature, the child can get burned or ruin the whole work with an inaccurate movement, it will be a shame.
It's time to decorate the Christmas tree. Glue the decorations you prepared on the crown. Don't forget to put something big and pretty on top of your New Year's beauty.
Give your child a marker and let him write some simple and kind words on a postcard and let him make a couple of mistakes, where would he be without them?
Idea number 4. New Year's card in the style of "minimalism"
We offer you a postcard with a Christmas tree in a minimalist style for consideration and inspiration. At first glance, a simple and even modest postcard becomes quite complex upon closer examination. But you're not looking for easy ways, are you?
So, what do you need to create a minimalist greeting card?
1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Stationery knife or shaped hole punch.
3. Thread with a needle. It is better to take the color of the thread in contrast to the main color of the postcard. And the type of thread can be taken similar to "iris".
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Sequins.
6. Scissors.
New Year's card for children with their own hands
Let's start, as they say, from the beginning. Fold the cardboard sheet in half. Now on one of the parts we need to make some sketches. This applies to the location of the top of the Christmas tree and the Christmas tree itself. The field of how you conditionally placed the Christmas tree on the half of the postcard. Carefully cut through the top of the tree. If you have a shaped hole punch, then this task will not take you much time. Well, if there is no hole punch, then first draw a star, then carefully cut it out with a clerical knife. By the way, before starting work, it is better to update the tip of the blade.
After you are done with the star. Take a thread with a needle and, guided by your marks, start making stitches. Remember to string enough sequins onto the thread after piercing the paper. It is not desirable to pull the thread strongly and it is also not desirable that it sag.
Now you need to make notes through the cut out hole of the sprocket. So that its location can be seen inside the postcard. Use a sticker in the form of an asterisk and any other, not necessarily of this form, the main thing is that it is not clear what kind of sticker it is when the card is closed.
That's all. Write something good inside and feel free to give!
Idea number 5. Postcard with a Christmas tree in origami technique.
Origami is a very complex and interesting technique. Her Asian roots give her a certain charm and mystery. At the mention of this technique, complex structures and intricate schemes immediately pop up in memory. But do not worry, the Christmas tree proposed below is not an aerobatics figure. You will definitely deal with it.
So, what do you need to create a card with an origami Christmas tree:
1. Colored thick paper, but not cardboard.
2. Colored cardboard.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
Let's start with the base of the postcard. Gently fold a sheet of multi-colored A4 cardboard (you can also use another one) in half.
Tip: Be aware that some cardboard sheets tend to crack when bent. This greatly affects the aesthetics of the postcard itself. If you have the trouble of running into such cardboard, then the bend can be decorated with figuratively cut colored paper or ribbon, or even braid.
So, now you need to fold about three origami modules. Depending on the original size, you can make more or less modules. Accordingly, the Christmas tree will be larger or smaller.
Let's start from an example. Take three squares of construction paper or scrapbooking paper. You can print any image you want on thick paper. The sides of the square, as we said above, can affect the size of the Christmas tree. In our case, 20 centimeters. The square needs to be folded diagonally, then expanded and bent again diagonally, crosswise.
You conditionally noted four triangles, now you need to fill two opposite each other inward. Now press the resulting triangle to any surface and, having marked for yourself the conditional center of the figure, bend the lower corner parallel to the marked middle. Repeat the procedure with the second corner. The module is ready. Add two more. You can take a different color paper.
Let's start assembling the Christmas tree. Glue the origami module onto the base of the postcard. You can use glue or tape. The formation of the Christmas tree must be done from top to bottom, as if putting the next module into the previous one.
The next step is to fill in the details of your postcard. Choose how and what to decorate yourself. As an example, we offer bows and buttons.
Idea number 6. Postcard with ribbon - herringbone
This idea is also minimalist. And it is not overly complex. If you are looking for ideas to work with kids, then this idea is perfect for you.
So, what do you need to create a card with a ribbon Christmas tree:
1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Decorative ribbons, scrap paper or clippings from bright printed pages.
6. Stickers. In this option, it is important to take stickers in the form of stars.
Let's start, respectively, with the preparation of the foundation. To do this, bend a sheet of cardboard in half. Among the prepared materials, look for paper or tape that is closest in color to brown. We will decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree. The ideal option would be to cut a very elongated trapezoid out of brown paper. Glue the Christmas tree trunk onto one of the halves of the base. Try to place it exclusively in the middle of the sheet.
After you have completed work with the trunk, you need to pay attention to the crown of the tree. Namely, cutting the prepared material into strips. Each next strip should be longer or, accordingly, shorter than the previous one. It is better not to change the width. We suggest cutting strips of approximately 1.5-2 centimeters.
Now that you have visualized how many strips you need, you need to cut off the corners of the cut ribbons at an angle of about 45 degrees. So that, in general, the tapes already placed in their proper places are a triangle with a very pointed apex. It is better to do this not for each tape separately, but for all at once, with one, so to speak, notch.
Glue a star-shaped sticker to the very top of your Christmas tree. On this we can consider the work on this postcard completed. But you can add details with decorative elements. It's up to your taste.
Idea number 7. Christmas card with original Christmas tree
And one more idea for inspiration for a variation of the New Year. The idea also does not differ in multi-step and high cost of materials. And at the exit, the original and cute decorations of the New Year's card. If you take pastel or, as makeup artists like to say, nude shades, then the card will have a fairly bright female character. Such a card would be an appropriate addition to a gift for a woman of middle age and older.
So, what do you need to create a greeting card with an original Christmas tree:
1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Round napkins or double-sided colored paper.
The first thing we do is smooth across the cardboard. Here is the main part of the postcard ready.
Now let's make a Christmas tree. For this purpose, you need to take a double-sided napkin in the shape of a circle and divide it exactly in half. In the future, you will need only one part to create one Christmas tree. Well, if you could not find suitable napkins, then you can make paper for this purpose yourself. The main thing is to decide what size your Christmas tree seems to you.
Since it must be borne in mind that the average printer is able to print any picture only on A4 format. Accordingly, based on this, it is necessary to calculate the size of the future Christmas tree. Alternatively, you can use thick double-sided paper.
In favor of the printed option: if you print only a semicircle, the size of the Christmas tree will increase to 20-25 centimeters.
So, you have decided on the paper and in front of you lies a semicircle. In order to fold the Christmas tree, you need to do a fairly simple operation. Step back about 3-5 centimeters along the even edge of the semicircle and make an inconspicuous mark for yourself. This is where the top of your Christmas tree will be located. Now "accordion" smooth the paper. Step width is about five centimeters. Experiment with it. You may be satisfied with other options.
It makes sense to fix the resulting folds so that the Christmas tree does not strive to free itself like a spring. This can easily be done with double sided tape. When your hand becomes more confident in folding the accordion, you can pre-fix the tape on a semicircle of paper.
Now you need to glue the Christmas tree on one of the halves of the next postcard. This can be done with tape or glue.
Optionally, add details to the card, decorate the Christmas tree with decorative elements.
We have all been familiar with children's books since childhood. Which, without knowing it yet, were the founders of modern trendy 3D. Turning over the next sheet, we met with foxes, wolves or Koloboks, which, as if alive, rose above the book pages. Agree, then for us it was almost magic. We have grown up, and now we can try on the mantle of a wizard simply by making voluminous postcards for the New Year.
So, what you need to create a New Year's card with a 3D effect:
1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Curly scissors (optional).
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Stationery knife.
6. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
Let's start making 3D cards for the New Year
From colored cardboard, you need to cut out several triangles; for this purpose, take curly scissors. In the future, these triangles will become the crowns of trees. It is not necessary to make them the same, you can experiment with the sizes.
Now let's get down to preparing the base of the postcard. For this purpose, you need to take two sheets of cardboard and paper. Cardboard will play the role of the base, and paper will be the inside of the postcard. And bend them in half
A sheet of paper that will play the role of an inner liner must first be drawn, and then cut with a clerical knife or scissors. The marks are applied perpendicular to the fold of the paper and are something like steps, namely stumps for poor Christmas trees.
The crowns of Christmas trees prepared in advance now need to be glued into place. To do this, open the inner insert of the postcard, you should get something like steps, and stick Christmas trees on them. Have you already understood the principle of the postcard?
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the idea for creating a very original greeting and not only a New Year's card. But still, it will look like the usual sheets folded in half. However, here is a completely different principle. But the recipient will definitely like it.
So, what do you need to create a dynamic New Year's greeting card:
1. Thick colored cardboard or / and paper. A4 size will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Stationery knife.
4. Compass.
5. Thick enough thread.
On a standard sheet of A4 paper, draw a circle using a compass. Then cut it out. Now fold the resulting circle in half and with the help of scissors make cuts that are arranged in turn and reflect the contours of the circle. As you move away from the center, the incisions should become longer.
After that, you need to straighten the circle. Glue a thread to the center of the circle. To make the product more interesting. The thread is threaded through the top and circles of cardboard of a contrasting color are glued to it. The thread is positioned so that the glued circles are located under the base of the circle. Now, if you pull the string, the design will turn into an unusual garland shaped like a Christmas tree. And inside it will playfully see bright circles.
Now you need to glue the Christmas tree after returning it to the folded state. When gluing, make sure that you do not glue too much, and the Christmas tree has the opportunity to unravel. The base to which you will glue your dynamic Christmas tree can be made from cardboard folded in half.
That's basically it. You have got an unusual and dynamic postcard, it remains to write congratulations and give them.
Idea number 10. New Year's cards, decorated with double-sided tape with a backing
We offer you several options at once under one heading. Since they have a common element, all variants use double-sided adhesive tape with a backing as a basis for decorating and fixing elements.
So, what do you need to create a New Year's greeting card using double-sided tape:
- Double sided tape with backing.
- Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
- Scissors.
- Shaped hole punch, optional.
- Ribbons, cord or thick thread.
Option 1. First you need to prepare the basics for postcards. This is very easy to do - you just need to take a few sheets of cardboard and bend them in half. You can make not only rectangular shapes, but the simplest and most familiar just like that. Triangular or cardboard ones will also be quite original, just keep in mind that not all decorative elements look equally good, for example, on a round shape.
Video, DIY New Year cards
Then we will prepare the elements for decoration. From colored paper, cut out many circles from colored cardboard using a shaped hole punch. It is desirable that the size is different. Well, if there was no hole punch on the farm, you can simply cut everything out with scissors. True, this will take more time, but we are not looking for easy ways, are we? It is better to take paper that is hard and different in color. The ideal option would be to use colors that are several tones different, but within the same shade. You can take paper imitating a mirror surface and introduce it as an addition.
Now you need to take the prepared base of the postcard and stick adhesive tape on it. By creating a semblance of a circle on the sheet. Then remove the protective layer from the scotch pads and glue multi-colored circles. Repeat this process as you add more layers. Try to alternate circles of different sizes. The number of layers is up to you. Add them until you get the desired result. Then simply tie a colorful ribbon with a bow and glue it at the top, making the mugs glued in layers into a kind of wreath.
Option 2. Quite a minimalist option. Good for men or guys. You will need a prepared postcard base, on which you will stick a piece of adhesive tape, and on it a square of plain cardboard. Decide on the size yourself. Place a slightly colorful ribbon bow at the top of the cardboard square. It will turn out some kind of stylization of the image of the gift.
Option 3. Cut out several rectangles of various shapes from colored cardboard. They must be wrapped with a thread in the manner of wrapping gifts with ribbon and leaving a bow on top. Then glue the postcards in a row along the bottom edge of the blank on the double-sided cattle. You can succinctly add "Happy New Year!"
Simple New Year's cards with your own hands. Ideas for creativity
Idea number 11.
This is an extremely interesting idea. Because even the thought of stapling paper is already surprising. This idea is based on an appliqué that is fixed in place with a machine stitch. Naturally, the line can also be applied manually, and you can find a certain charm and originality in this. Both options should be tried, as different stitching techniques can give a completely different look to the postcard.
So, what do you need to create a New Year's card decorated with a sewing machine line:
1. Sewing machine. In principle, you can make stitches by hand.
2. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 size will suffice.
3. Scissors.
4. Additional decorations at your discretion.
Let's get started.
Now cut out decorative elements from any type and coloring paper. It can be Christmas trees, balls, stars. And the paper can be plain or colorful, monochrome. Wrapping, for scrapbooking, simple, printed on a printer or colorful pages of old magazines. Then fold all the elements on top of each other and sew with a typewriter. Try to fix all the layers with one line. Take a bright thread so that it can be clearly seen against the general background. Set the thread tension to the lowest setting.
You can have one element or make many layers. Experiment to your heart's content. The line can be succinctly arranged or made many by crossing them.

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

One more thing:
Required materials for manufacturing:
- Cardboard (thick paper);
- Pen or pencil;
- Scrapbooking paper;
- 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 is slightly longer than the previous one (about 1 cm).
Step 2 Twist the tubes of the cut out rectangles tightly, winding them around a pencil or pen. Fix the tubes with glue.
Step 3. Glue the formed tubes together in the form of a Christmas tree, from the longer to the short 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 purchased 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 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 crown and a small rectangle - the trunk.
The option is more complicated if you make holes opposite each other along the perimeter of the triangle, and then sew them with threads, use sequins to decorate.
You can embroider anything you want with threads - a modest Christmas tree, a small deer and a sock with gifts.
Younger children can also create an appliqué out of a common cypress or fern leaf and decorate it with beads, beads or sequins. The main thing is that an easy-to-make postcard will bring great joy to the baby and grandfather or grandmother.

Postcard created using rainbow folding technique
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 strips. 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.
