In the first place there will be a gift that absolutely everyone, be it a child or an adult, can give. It can be given to anyone, even a teacher, educator, even an acquaintance, best friend, mother, this is a New Year's card.

I remember as a child, every year I drew them with such pleasure to all my beloved relatives, it was so exciting and funny, now I also draw, only with my children. True, we don’t always use drawing in our works; sometimes appliqué or something else comes to the rescue, for example, remember ours made from paper, we used the origami technique.

So I offer you this idea for inspiration; you can see all the stages of work in these pictures. You will need colored markers, glue, a sheet of white paper, and colored sheets.

First, fold the sheet like an accordion and cut off the unnecessary corner approximately along an oblique line by eye.

After this, glue your idea to the blue strip of paper.

Now cut out Christmas trees or geometric shapes in the form of triangles from the green one.

Decorate in any way, drawing additional decorations, as well as any fairy-tale characters.

This is a fairly simple and easy version of a postcard, but the main thing is that you can even come up with any plot if you approach this matter with great love and responsibility.

Or from satin ribbons, lace and rhinestones, scrapbooking:

Step-by-step master class on how to make gifts for the holiday

How not to give such a popular gift for the New Year as a calendar, you can, of course, go and buy it in a store or at Roprint kiosks, by the way, many people order all sorts of goods from China on Aliexpress, which can also be considered as an option.

But, I still suggest making a calendar yourself, with your own hands. Moreover, from an ordinary Greenfeld tea box, Maria shared this work, see it all for yourself.

Stages of work:

1. The first thing you need to do is make a box. Mark the required length and width of the part. We need these things to make the box.

2. Then all the parts will need to be glued together. To glue easily, you can use thin craft. It is best to use ErichKrause brand glue.

3. This is approximately what should happen.

4. Here it is, an original and cool box, almost ready.

5. Now you will need to make the basis for your calendar, all from the same Greenfeld tea box.

Such a funny triangle. If this description does not seem very clear to you, then in this picture you can see the address where I took this master class from and go to the website of the owner of this absolutely gorgeous gift.

Yes, by the way, here is a detailed diagram for you:

The result of the work will be like this.

Perhaps someone will find this type of work difficult, so I suggest making a postcard with your own hands, and not a simple one, but a luminous one, everything you need for this can be bought at Fix Price.

You will need:

Using a compass, draw a circle, or trace something round.

Then use scissors to carefully cut out a circle.

Make a background.

Work with the tape.

Then select a composition or pattern and design it.

Don't forget to glue and admire your masterpiece.

And here it is, a cherished beauty. By the way, you can make such beauty for other celebrations, for example, on March 8 or February 23, the main thing is to choose the desired plot.

The best New Year gift ideas at home

Another option, you can make a surprise from threads, yarn from such a funny bullfinch. If you are into knitting, then check it out soon.

We make New Year's surprises with our own hands from paper, ribbons and felt

I really like working with pasta, eating it, of course))), but also getting creative, see what you can come up with.

Which character do you like best?

I like felt Christmas toys most of all.

Crafts made of wood, candy and beads with diagrams and patterns

Such Christmas tree toys, by the way, can be made from wood.

Or use this idea to use a tree in the form of a trunk (or metal) and branches for a Christmas tree. It looks just super, if you also light candles or decorate it, it will turn out fantastically cozy and chic.

You can use wooden ice cream sticks, you can even send such beauty to an exhibition, see even more ideas

You can even decorate and give as a gift to anyone who has their own private home from pieces of logs of such funny snowmen.

As you know, everyone likes candy for the New Year; usually they are given in the form of bags, but you can do it differently:

Of course it looks great, even in the form of a Christmas tree, even in the form of a bouquet, or even a clock.

My niece is fond of beadwork, so you can also make great compositions from this material, in general, see for yourself:

And of course, you can also create something out of coffee and tea that will simply delight everyone.

No. 6: New Year'skitchen oven mitt

New Year and Christmas are a period of not only celebrations, but also preparations for them, including kitchen preparations. Everyone wants to fill the table with as many delicious dishes as possible. Many hours are spent near the stove to ensure everything is perfect. And even such a small detail as a New Year's oven mitt instead of a regular one can make the cooking process much more enjoyable.

Of course, not everyone wants to sit down and sew a potholder completely from start to finish, especially if there is no sewing machine. But it’s quite easy to steal a ready-made one.

How to do:

Select in store a regular pot holder and in addition, buy several colored ribbons, and sew the ribbons at home, making beautiful gathers.

To do this at home you will need:

No. 24: Chocolate tree

Almost everyone has a real or artificial Christmas tree at home for New Year. It creates a mood and spreads the spirit of a fairy tale. But sweets do this too, so I think a gift in the form of a chocolate Christmas tree would be a good addition to it.

New Year's gifts for children

If you have a child or are going to visit friends who have children, you should definitely have a gift for them too. After all, at this age, the New Year is not just a weekend, but a real fairy tale, an expectation of miracles. So what can you do with your own hands?

As always, before the New Year, the topic of gifts becomes very relevant. Krestik cannot ignore it, because in the abundance of our master classes you can definitely find an idea for a New Year's gift.

So, what do you think of this idea: let’s make a gift for mom for New Year 2016 with our own hands? We will try to approach this issue from different points of view. We will select options for handmade gifts so that even a little girl can make them, and we will also consider gifts that will appeal to older mothers.

Gift for mother-needlewoman

Since most of us here are fond of needlework, we will start by choosing a gift for creative mothers)

If your mother is not averse to handicrafts, choose gifts based on her hobbies.

Let's say mom loves to embroider, then a ready-made set is what you need! The symbol of the coming year is the Horse, so by choosing embroidery kits with images of one or several horses, you will give your mother not only many pleasant hours in her favorite hobby, but also a wonderful talisman under whose auspices the entire next year will pass.

If mom prefers to embroider with threads, buy cross stitch kits:

Cross stitch kits

If she prefers embroidering with beads, then choose sets with fabric that has already been printed with a full-color design. Mom will only have to sew on beads and frame the picture.

Bead embroidery kits

If mom doesn’t like to look at the embroidery pattern every time, then buy a canvas that already has a design on it:

Canvas with a printed pattern (on the right is a pattern printed on silk)

In all the variety of embroidery kits, you will definitely choose one that suits you in terms of cost, quality, and technique, and most importantly, your handicraft mother will like it!

If your mother doesn’t mind spending time knitting, then your gift in the form of a case for knitting needles and hooks may be very useful to her.

Or maybe mom likes to sew? Then you should give your mom a new sewing machine? Then you too will receive wonderful hand-made gifts from her!

By the way, if mom is not a needlewoman yet, then why can’t the gift be introducing mom to needlework? A certificate for training courses or a gift encyclopedia on needlework is also a great gift!

Gift for mom from little daughter

A girl aged 8–10 years will be able to make a beautiful New Year’s gift for her mother. It may not be too intricate, but it will definitely be made with love)

Stylish photo frame

See how easy it is to turn an ordinary wooden photo frame into a bright and stylish piece of furniture! All you need to do is collect a bunch of multi-colored buttons and glue them to the frame in any order.

If you take buttons in red, white and green colors, the frame will be more suitable for the New Year theme.

Star for mom

The next interesting idea is a Christmas star made of cardboard.

To create it you will need a minimum of materials: thick cardboard, twine or any other threads, small pieces of felt or ordinary fabric, a ruler and a pencil.

First, you need to draw a regular star on a sheet of cardboard. To make it easier, print the template, cut out the star and transfer it to cardboard.

Then, inside the resulting star, draw another smaller star. And cut it out.

Glue the end of the twine or any other thread (it is better to take thicker threads, for example, for knitting) to the star, and then begin to wrap all its 5 rays.

To decorate the star, you can cut out a couple of leaves and berries from felt or other suitable fabric and glue them to one of the rays. An original gift for mom for the New Year is ready!

Paper Christmas trees

Not a single New Year is complete without a Christmas tree. What if there are several cute Christmas trees in the house, for example, ones made of paper?

Making Christmas trees out of paper is also very simple. Take a compass or a larger round plate and draw a circle on colored cardboard or scrapbooking paper, cut it out. Then we divide the circle into 2 equal parts, cut along the fold line and from each half we roll up cones, which will be our Christmas trees.

To save paper, the circle can be divided into 3 equal parts (use a protractor and divide the circle into 3 segments of 120 degrees each) or use this template as a basis:

Having made several paper cones in this way, decorate them as you wish: you can glue buttons or beads, as well as small bows from satin ribbons, as Christmas tree decorations. The role of a garland can be perfectly performed by beads strung on a regular thread (glue the tip of the thread to the top of the tree and start wrapping it with a thread of beads in a spiral to the very base). As a decoration, glue stars made of paper of a different color or pompoms made of thread to the top of the tree.

How to make pompoms from threads

Pincushion from a postcard

Older girls will be able to make an original pincushion card for their mother. The idea is this: you need to make a blank for a postcard from colored cardboard, decorate it on the outside, and glue a piece of felt inside, after putting a little padding polyester underneath it. Thus, inside the card you will get a soft fabric filler into which a needle can easily be stuck!

To make the process of creating such a pincushion postcard more clear, watch our master class, which is called. And don’t let the word “scrapbooking” scare you, you can take a ready-made New Year’s card as a base and turn it into a pincushion!

How to beautifully wrap a New Year's gift

If a New Year's gift for mom was bought in a store, then you can wrap it beautifully with your own hands. A master class will help you with this, thanks to which you will make a wonderful gift box from 2 sheets of colored paper.

An even simpler option is to wrap the gift in plain paper and decorate it with a cut out snowflake on top:

New Year card

And in addition to the purchased gift, a handmade card will always come in handy. You can make a cute card with mittens in just 15 minutes) Watch the master class and please your mother with your creation!

To mother from an adult daughter

An adult can make a more complex and interesting gift. We can say that the scope for imagination here is practically unlimited, which means that for the New Year a mother can receive the necessary, beautiful, unique gift made by the hands of her beloved daughter.

We invite you to prepare a real surprise for your mother! Give not one gift, but several, united by a theme. The choice of topic depends only on the mother’s personal preferences.

Mom loves coffee

For example, mom loves coffee, so she will definitely like gifts with a “coffee” theme!

A panel of whole coffee beans will decorate your kitchen or living room. To do this, you will need a regular wooden frame (or two, if you want to make a series of paintings) and a package of coffee beans. The grains can be glued with a glue gun or regular glue, such as “Moment”.

To have a pleasant time with a cup of aromatic coffee, make a coffee candle for your mother:

Decorative oven mitts for the kitchen are another option for a themed gift, if you can find a suitable “coffee” fabric, for example, this one:

This fabric will make very beautiful potholders in patchwork style.

Mom loves flowers very much

If mom is an avid flower girl, then she will be happy with flowers in any form, be it artificial flowers made of fabric or curtains with a floral print. “Cross” will help with both, because the floral theme is one of our favorites!

You can sew a delicate curtain for the kitchen, or better yet two at once (one with a floral print, the other with a New Year’s print, just in time for the holidays):
