New Year's handmade cards. How to make a postcard with your own hands: ideas and examples

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?

Content

If you have already prepared everything for the New Year (and if not, then you need to read our articles) and you still have some finishing touches from the series: postcards to relatives, to school, kindergarten, etc., then it doesn’t bother you to read our articles. Or rather, this particular article, which we completely decided to devote to beautiful postcards for the New Year. We have ideas, as always, a wagon and a small cart. So stock up on time, materials and let's create together.

Postcard options

With drawings

As usual, let's start with a simple option - these are painted postcards. All you need is thick cardboard or whatman paper, pencils, glitter glue, paints, felt-tip pens, wax crayons. In general, any option for drawing a picture that you or your child likes.

You can fold a rectangular sheet in half and apply a specific pattern to the front side. You can use the template and decorate the drawing.

Don't forget about funny inscriptions both on the front side and on the wrong side. Use a special stencil or calligraphy tools to make the inscription beautiful and even.

Draw something touching and cute, you can even without the inscription "Happy New Year". In a drawn postcard, you can combine several techniques: something can be partially painted, and something voluminous, made of some kind of material, as in the photo. Or the drawing can first be applied to paper, then the paper can be glued to a thin foam, and then this design can be glued directly to the postcard and it will turn out to be voluminous.

We offer you several images that you can use as a template for the future New Year's card 2018 with your own hands:

Textile

Collect all sorts of pieces of fabric around the house, leftovers from sewing, old jeans, pillowcases, pajamas, socks. All of this can make for amazing products. Note that even the base of the postcard itself can be made of material, see an example in the photo:

Making a postcard from textiles is quite easy. For example, in this case, felt parts were used, but you can take any other material. On the wrong side, you can sew something like a lining, which will serve as a kind of sheet for wishes for the New Year 2018.

For the product, you can use a cardboard base, on which you will attach textile parts using a glue gun. Various beads, buttons, lace, ribbons, natural material, knitting threads are also suitable as decor. It turns out very beautiful and unusual.

Similar crafts for the New Year can be presented to your mother, teacher at school, girlfriend, work colleague. You can write a congratulation inside with a pen or cut out letters from fabric, it will look quite original.

scrapbooking

This option is more difficult, because it is no longer just a postcard, but a whole album. We can put both photos and some tickets to the theater or cinema where you went with the scrapbooking recipient.

In general, scrapbooking has recently been a whole movement, a fairly popular technique for designing postcards and creating memorable diaries. Literally, the very word "scrapbooking" is translated as "a book of clippings." To create such a book, special sheets and materials are sold. They are quite durable, because the book is designed for long-term storage. But we can make a postcard using the scrapbooking technique from improvised means, the main thing is that it be cool and impressive.

Use volumetric details to decorate the front side. Scrapbooking involves the use of various pockets, envelopes for storing tickets, photographs, dried flowers, sweets, labels. In general, everything that can evoke pleasant memories and give joy, look at the photo:

The most important thing in this technique is to correctly and correctly arrange the details of the decor so that the card turns out to be beautiful, unpretentious. You can use some creative details, say, nails, screws, nuts, if the congratulation is intended for a motorist. Or letters from the keyboard, parts of a floppy disk (if you find it), if a person connected with computers will receive the postcard. You can use buttons, pins, clothespins, disposable tableware, newspapers. The mass of ideas and topics will depend on the interests or work of the recipient of the gift.

3D postcard

So we come to another interesting idea of creating a postcard for the New Year with our own hands in volumetric technology. 3D is, of course, loudly said, but something like that can be created, that is, a three-dimensional postcard. What do you need:

a lot of colored cardboard;
colored paper;
PVA glue or stationery glue;
pencils;
markers;
transparent cover from sour cream;
beads;
paints.

This is a list for several postcard options. For example, let's make it with a three-dimensional pattern inside. Take a rectangular piece of paper, make small cuts in it so that you can put forward a kind of coaster for the future composition.

Now prepare the decor of the composition itself directly - it can be something plot, or it can be flowers, patterns, hearts, even photographs.

After you attach the decor elements, the blank itself must be inserted into the main pages of the postcard and glued well, look at the photo what can happen:

You can not cut out the base with peculiar coasters, but cut the pattern itself directly from the sheets for the postcard. Volumetric postcards look original and will please not only children, but also adults.

And here is a template for such a postcard with your own hands:

And a few more wonderful ideas for do-it-yourself voluminous congratulations for the New Year:

With quilling elements

Quilling is also a fairly popular technique lately. From twisted thin strips of paper, quite original three-dimensional drawings are obtained. This technique can be used to decorate New Year's cards.

To make such beauty in the quilling technique, of course, you will need skills and experience. But the simplest options are quite within the power of even kids.

For a more complex version in the quilling technique, you will need a little more skill and special tools. At the end of the article you will find a useful video tutorial on this topic.

Volumetric Christmas trees

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

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

Penguin

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

gifts

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

Santa Claus

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

simple drawings

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

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

Lots and lots of different trees

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

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

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

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

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

Winter landscape

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

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

hugging snowman

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

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

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

Balloons

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

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

Volume balls

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

colorful balls

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

Postcards with buttons

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

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

To please loved ones, it is not necessary to purchase expensive presents: it is better to use your imagination and, with a little effort, make a homemade gift.

It is easy to give others positive emotions: just give them a New Year's card made by yourself. With the help of such a present, you will convey your warm wishes to others and surprise them with a beautiful handmade craft.

A postcard with congratulations to friends and relatives on the New Year will perfectly complement the main present; it can also be made by hand. Such a gift duet is a good way to show your attention to your loved ones.

Homemade postcards are remembered and sink into the soul much more than store ones. You can create a creative masterpiece from the most ordinary things, showing a creative approach and existing creative abilities.

The tradition of handing cards to each other for the holidays appeared a long time ago, recently it has been forgotten a little, but this situation is easy to fix. Modern technologies cannot give as much body and emotions as simple postcards made with soul.

Give joy to others by congratulating them on the New Year holidays with a homemade postcard. A colorfully decorated piece of paper is able to give a festive mood and create a New Year's atmosphere.

Do-it-yourself New Year's cards, photo

Handmade postcards can be given to relatives, acquaintances and even co-workers. Homemade postcards can make the older generation happy; this way of congratulations from loving grandchildren will be appreciated by grandparents. Believe me: a beautiful craft with the wishes of happiness will not seem as banal as a standard store souvenir.

Making a New Year greetings card is not difficult, and this article provides some ideas for creating holiday cards for the New Year for children and adults.

Bright Christmas tree

New Year is associated, first of all, with a beautifully dressed forest beauty-herringbone. A fluffy Christmas tree is the central attribute of the winter festivities. So why not decorate your holiday card with this traditional New Year symbol?

To make a greeting card decorated with a colorful Christmas tree, you only need paper.

Advice. To make the postcard more original, it is best to use paper with a different pattern.

Make a semicircular paper blank, fold it, focusing on the picture. You should get something like a fan.

The second option is to make “branches” out of paper and glue the paper parts together, otherwise they will open up. To decorate the top of the Christmas tree, glue a small star or bead to the top.

A slide of presents

It is not difficult to implement this creative idea, and the joy of receiving such a wonderful postcard will be genuine.

Take a bright paper sheet, preferably with a pattern, and fold it in half. Mark three squares with a ruler (each subsequent one should be slightly larger than the previous one). The squares will serve as gift boxes. Using scissors, make cuts (not completely) at the top and bottom: this will make the drawers voluminous.

Decorate the boxes as you wish. The original congratulatory present is ready.

Unusual Christmas trees and a button snowman

Making an original New Year's card is as easy as shelling pears, and the following ideas will make sure that you do.

You will need:

paper sheets with different textures;
a sheet of cardboard;
blue marker;
trimming ribbons;
buttons;
office glue.

winter tree

To create a paper tree, cut out a triangular blank, make the top long. Decorate the Christmas tree with two small white ribbon bows. To decorate the top, use a snowflake with sparkles.

On a note! To make the Christmas tree elegant, use snow-white paper with a pattern.

Even more unusual is the Christmas tree, made of paper circles of different colors, differing in size. Details in the form of circles are glued to the base, creating an imitation of a Christmas tree.

The top of the Christmas tree on the card is crowned with a star.

Button snowman

This idea will allow you to make a baby card featuring an adorable button snowman. Take three buttons (they should differ in size). One button should be especially small and always with two holes (instead of eyes).

Glue the buttons one above the other, put a hat (for example, a paper bucket) on the snowman's head and tie a thread scarf to him.

Next to the snowman, draw snowflakes using a blue felt-tip pen. Tie a bright ribbon at the top of the card.

Button compositions

Using buttons, you can realize various creative ideas.

Make a button Christmas tree: beads, rhinestones or paper mugs are suitable to fill in the gaps. Combine buttons in the same color with decorative elements of the same color.

You can decorate with buttons a store-bought greeting card or create your own unique masterpiece by abandoning templates.

Buttons do not have to be fixed with glue, they are also fixed with threads. Snowflakes, beads and ribbon bows are suitable for decorating a button tree.

Beautiful New Year cards, photo

Not only Christmas trees are created from buttons, but also New Year's wreaths. The main thing is to choose a successful combination of buttons that differ in size and configuration. Lubricate the bottom of each button with glue and lay them in a circle, forming a wreath, supplement it with a ribbon, gluing it to the base in the same way.

An analogue of a European postcard is ready - the composition looks festive and unusual. One wreath can consist of multi-colored buttons: feel free to create original drawings from them.

Creativity and economy

When making New Year's greeting cards, use cuts of ribbons, lace, patches, ropes, threads - everything that is found in the house.

DIY cards Happy New Year

Rustic craft

Tie the cuts of different material in the center with ribbons with lace and fix them with glue, placing one element on top of the other - the rustic Christmas tree is ready.

Decorate it with beads and shiny buttons.

Original postcard "Christmas sock"

Such postcards imitate tags, and look very cute as a gift. This postcard for the New Year will perfectly complement any souvenir.

Beautiful New Year cards

For manufacturing, you will need thick cardboard and a sheet of colored paper to match, an image of two socks (cut or drawn), a ribbon, beads, beads for final decoration.

If you have special scissors for cutting scallops and a hole punch, great: the tools will come in handy to make a hole for hanging our crafts.

We cut out a wide strip from paper, draw a cut line with scallops, and glue it. We sign a congratulation and glue the cut out socks. We decorate their lapels with beads or beads.

Through the hole made by the hole punch, stretch the tape and tie a knot.

For connoisseurs of minimalism

Those who like minimalism will appreciate the following idea: take thin emerald ribbons of different widths and fasten them one on top of the other using beads or colored buttons.

After performing simple manipulations, you will receive an unusual postcard.

Living Christmas Tree

Attach the stick to the paper base and tie ribbons of different lengths to it: they will serve as spreading branches of the spruce. Decorate the top with a miniature star.

Even a child can make such a stylish postcard from ribbons.

scrapbooking

Do you want to create your own greeting card with an exclusive design, the likes of which you will not find in the store? Use the scrapbooking technique.

To make this craft, you will need the following materials:

thick multi-colored paper sheets (preferably cardboard);
scrapbooking paper (can be ordered in the online store);
glue;
pencil;
decor elements.

First of all, decide on the size of the future Christmas tree and, depending on this, using scrapbooking paper, make rectangular blanks that differ in width.

Using a pencil, twist the rectangular blanks, forming tubes, and fix them with glue so that they do not unwind.

The resulting tubes should be glued together, starting with the longest. Glue the tube Christmas tree to the cardboard base. Decorate as you wish.

Quilling card with the symbol of the coming year

Respect the patron of the coming year - the Fire Cockerel - and decorate the card with his image.

This requires the following materials:

stripes of different colors for quilling;
stationery glue;
cardboard (for the base);
ready-made stencil or pencil for drawing the outline;
sequins and other embellishments.

On cardboard you need to create an image of a bird. Twist the quilling strips and, using a little glue to keep them from untwisting, form the desired configuration. Having prepared the details, “assemble” the image of the rooster by gluing them to the base.

Remember the bright plumage of a rooster and give the craft chic by decorating it with sequins, feathers and other decorations.

Don't forget to write warm wishes inside the card.

DIY creative Happy New Year cards

Postcard with embroidery

Another way to decorate a New Year's card is embroidery.

For this you need simple materials:

cardboard;
multi-colored threads for knitting;
needle;
printed words or image;
Scotch;
small details for decoration.

Fold the cardboard in half. Stick a set of words or an image in accordance with the New Year theme: you can temporarily fix it with tape at the base. Carefully use a needle to make holes along the outline of the letters or image.

To create an appliqué, use threads of different colors.

Advice! First, "draw" the contours, and then move on to decorating the inside.

Decorate the finished craft with ribbon bows or beads.

Consider another option for creating a postcard with a thread application, but it will look completely different.

To create a thread postcard, you will need:

a thick sheet of paper (preferably colored) or cardboard;
PVA glue;
thick multi-colored threads;
scissors;
sequins.

Fold the cardboard sheet in half. Cut the threads into pieces, but with different lengths (from smaller to larger or vice versa). Attach the threads with glue to the base (the longest one is glued, the next ones are smaller, and so on). The order of alternating colors is not critical.

Glue two small pieces of thread (identical length) at the bottom of the postcard: they will serve as a trunk for the tree.

It remains to decorate the thread tree with sequins.

geometric herringbone

Here is another example of an original postcard with a Christmas tree. To create it, you need a thick paper sheet (a very beautiful postcard will turn out if one of its sides is white and the other, for example, light green), a printed image of a Christmas tree, and a clerical knife. If there was no printout of the drawing, you will need a pencil, as well as a ruler.

Fold the paper sheet in half (the green side should be wrong side). Using a pencil, draw a triangle (under the ruler, this is easiest to do, in this case the triangle will turn out to be even). Divide the inner part of the triangle into small triangles - it is important that they are the same.

Using a utility knife, carefully cut through the triangles without touching the base.
Turn the triangles down from the front of the card.

"Herringbone accordion"

The principle of creating a congratulatory New Year's card "Herringbone-accordion" is quite simple, and for this you will need:

cardboard;
a sheet of green paper;
scissors;
decor elements;
office glue.

Fold the cardboard in half - it will serve as the basis for the postcard. From a green paper sheet (you can take any other color you like), make six rectangular parts of identical width, but with different heights (each subsequent part should differ in height by 15-20 mm).

Form an accordion from each rectangular fragment. Try to make the harmonica proportional and identical for all parts.

Fold each of the resulting accordions in half and stick them on the inside of the card along the fold line, starting from the bottom and moving up.

On a note! The largest harmonica is glued first, and the smallest one is last.

The final touch is the decoration of the “Christmas tree-accordion”. Complete the composition with congratulatory inscriptions. Warm words are always nice.

Greeting cards with felt Christmas trees

To create a greeting card decorated with felt Christmas trees, in addition to multi-colored felt, you will need scissors, stationery glue, and thick paper.

Make trapezoidal and triangular-shaped parts from felt fabric, differing in volume and color.

Stick the fragments on the base and decorate with sparkles and congratulatory inscriptions.

There is nothing difficult in making homemade cards with congratulations for the New Year. Try to make such crafts with your own hands: the creative process is exciting, and needlework will give you a lot of pleasure and allow you to please others with unusual postcards.

Combine the suggested ideas with your own creative ideas, and you will make unique New Year cards that keep your hands warm and uplifting.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a postcard for the New Year

You need to create any New Year's card following a certain algorithm. The success of a creative undertaking largely depends on this.

Before you start, it is important to think over the idea and size of the postcard, decide on the necessary material, select everything that is needed in the work from the whole variety of decorative elements and materials.

Now follow the plan below:

Think over the plot of the postcard, what will be depicted on it and the size of the base. Most of all, this is the A5 format, that is, an A4 sheet folded in half, but you can choose any other format at your discretion.
Next, you need to think about the color palette of the postcard. Color and the combination of shades play a huge role in the overall perception of the finished product. The following are options for combining shades and a special New Year's palette in the photo. If there is no special flair and knowledge of color combinations, it is better to use a palette.
Next, we think over the composition and arrangement of the details. Special ready-made templates or sketches can help with this, but more on that later in the article. For a successful composition, it is important to choose the center and the main, larger element. Next, think about where the small details will be located, you don’t need to fill the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe postcard with them, let them create a beautiful shape. It is important to unite the entire composition on the postcard with a common color idea and compositional idea.
When everything is thought out and the idea is clear, you need to prepare all the elements. Cut, paint details. Pick up beads, cabochons, ribbons, lace, snowflakes, flowers and so on.
Now we need to make the background.
After we glue the main element.
Next, we place all the small details in their places.
Decorate if necessary.

Templates and sets for postcards, separate materials for the realization of your own ideas

To create postcards, including New Year's, by 2018 with your own hands, you can use various templates and sketches. They help to decide on the composition and the idea of the postcard. The following are photos of such sketches. They can be printed on paper or used for clarity, creating your own postcard based on a template.

Postcards can contain different elements: a Christmas tree, balls, stripes, a beautiful background design, snowflakes, glued half-beads, and so on. Of course, each template can be changed to your liking, but in general, the templates are thought out in terms of composition and color.

Herringbone - the main element of decor. Different ways and materials for its image

On New Year's cards, you can most often see the image of a Christmas tree. We can make it using various materials:

Buttons, rhinestones, half beads.
Ribbons and lace.
Paper or paper napkins.
Openwork small snowflakes.
Felt, old postcards or rolls of colored wrapping paper.

Postcard templates:

Option number 3

This version of the postcard for the New Year 2018 is made on bright cardboard using corrugated paper. For work we need:

Decorative cardboard in a bright red shade for the base.
Corrugated green paper.
Double sided tape and glue.
Decorative satin ribbon with Christmas print.
Beads and small beads or braid, cabochon in the form of an asterisk.

Let's start creating:

Make the base for the postcard out of cardboard by gently folding it in half;
Stick decorative tape on top and bottom along the edge of the postcard;
Mark the outline of the Christmas tree with a pencil and place double-sided tape (see photo);
Cut strips of different sizes from corrugated paper and shirring a little, stick over the strips of double-sided tape. So we got a Christmas tree;
We glue beads, beads and a star into place.

These are variants of New Year's cards with the main character - a Christmas tree. Next, we will consider how to make a postcard with the symbol of the year - a dog.

The dog is a symbol of the year on a postcard

You can make a postcard with the image of a dog - a symbol of the coming year. There can also be many variations here. Make a postcard in the form of a dog's face from colored paper. The following are step-by-step photos of the manufacturing process.

In addition, you can make a postcard in the form of a dachshund. For her you need:

Colored thick paper in 4 shades: blue and white for the base, golden and brown for the dog. You also need some black paper for the eyes and nose.
Glue, scissors and a ruler.

We make a postcard like this:

cut out a rectangle from blue paper. This is the foundation. We fold it in half, then one front part in half again.
cut out rectangles of white paper of such sizes that they overlap each of the parts of the bent base, glue them on top of the base.
cut out the tax. A long oval body to fit over the entire postcard. Cut out the legs, head, ears, tail, eyes. We duplicate each small detail from brown and gold paper.
we paste the body on the whole postcard, paws and muzzle to it, after all the small details.
so we got a dachshund, whose head is on the front bent half, and the end of the body on that half of the postcard, which is not bent. A closed card is obtained with a short dog, and an open card with a long dog.

To the postcard, you can stick a congratulatory inscription on a separate square or flag inside.
