Do-it-yourself children's New Year's card snowman. DIY Christmas cards with a snowman. #3 Snowmen from paper cups
The New Year is just around the corner. Absolutely everyone is looking forward to this holiday, especially children! We associate the New Year with snow and all the accompanying winter fun: sledding, skiing, skating and, of course, a snowman. As soon as the first snow falls, the children run into the yards to make a snowman.
But what if there is no snow, but the soul needs a snowy friend? Nothing is impossible in the world, especially on the eve of the New Year! You can make a real snowman not only from snow, and in this article we will tell you in detail and even show you how!

And for the snowman, we just need white paper. And secondly, paper crafts are quite simple and straightforward to manufacture.

And then in the ball with your fingers draw a snowman and snowfall. Craft snowman in kindergarten is ready!
And here is another craft idea for the little ones. Snowmen in this case are drawn using corks from plastic bottles. You need two plugs of different sizes (larger and smaller). Smear with white paint and make an imprint. Finish the face, pens and buttons with felt-tip pens when the paint is completely dry. A hat and scarf can be made from colored tape, colored paper or felt, for example.

You can also decorate the New Year's table with snowmen. Thematic treats for children's holidays are especially relevant. So if you are planning a big children's party, be sure to pay attention to the snowmen in the form of treats.
An unusual delicacy awaits guests from salty rings and white chocolate. You will need: chewing toffee, rings, chocolate (white and dark). Put the toffee on the parchment and put a little melted chocolate in the center. Then put the rings in this place and secure with chocolate again. Fill the rings themselves with chocolate and decorate with chocolate chips (eyes, nose, mouth, buttons). Wait for the chocolate to harden and wrap the scarf with toffee. The treats peel off the parchment very easily. It remains only to put the snowmen on a plate!
And here are the snowmen on a stick. For cooking, you will need sandwich cookies, white chocolate, chocolate chips and red round sweets. Place cookies on a stick and dip in chocolate. Immediately decorate with chocolate chips and red candy and send to dry. Dry can be put on parchment, the chocolate will not stick and will not be erased.
And to prepare such a treat you will need: chocolate (white and dark), bread sticks, marmalade for the nose. First, dip each stick in white chocolate and place tightly against each other on parchment paper. Wait for complete drying. After this design, dip in dark chocolate (for a hat), draw eyes, a mouth and put a gummies nose. Wait for it to dry and try!
Here is such a delicious gift that you can decorate as a snowman. You will need powdered donuts, a plastic bag, red ribbon, black paper, and a marker. You can buy donuts at the store or make your own. Well, then everything is simple: put it in a bag, tie it with a ribbon (like a scarf), stick a hat and draw a muzzle. Great gift for a work colleague!
But a special treat - melted snowmen. Take a cookie, put chewing marshmallows (marshmallows) on it, cover with foil, send it to the oven for a few minutes. The marshmallow will melt a little. Now put on the second marshmallow on top, draw a muzzle and decorate with marmalade or sweets. Use toothpicks as handles.

To make such a snowman, you will need a ball blank, an old sock, acrylic paint (or gouache), and a marker. Cut off the sock and put it on the ball. Pour a little paint inside the ball and twist the workpiece so that the paint evenly covers the walls of the ball from the inside. Tie a sock on top and draw the snowman's eyes, nose and mouth. Christmas tree toy snowman is ready!
And here is another simple option for making a Christmas tree toy in the form of a snowman with your own hands. For manufacturing, you will need a ball blank, foam balls or white beads, a marker. Pour foam or white beads into the blank to the top, close the ball and draw a face. Christmas ball-snowman is ready!
Here is another variation on the theme of foam balls or beads. The only difference between this MK and the previous one is the decor of the ball itself, i.e. snowman. In this craft, the Snowman is additionally decorated with warm headphones. As an option, you can put on a hat, cap, or a more traditional option for us - a bucket.
And here is about the same snowman from a Christmas ball, only artificial snow is poured inside the blank.
Here is a great craft for kids. Kids still don’t know how to draw properly, but they will definitely be able to decorate a Christmas ball with snowmen from fingerprints. Detailed MK look at the photo below.
And this option is suitable for those who do not have a blank, but have an ordinary Christmas ball that is not decorated with anything.

Snowmen from improvised materials
It often happens that you want to do creativity, but there is nothing at hand. Someone gets upset and leaves this venture until better times, while someone is looking for other opportunities. And rightly so, you can do crafts with your own hands from a variety of and sometimes unexpected materials that are sure to be found in every home. Now we will talk about such crafts.
#1 Snowmen from cotton pads
It is difficult to find a woman or a girl who does not have cotton pads. And they make wonderful New Year's crafts, especially when it comes to snowmen. The cotton pad already initially has the correct round shape, so you don’t need to cut anything out.
To create a volume of crafts, you can put a little ordinary cotton wool between the disks. Then the craft will resemble a miniature soft toy.
With kids, you can make applications from cotton pads by framing them like a picture or making, for example, a postcard for grandma or dad.
More crafts from cotton pads:
If there were no cotton pads, cotton balls are also suitable for crafts. In extreme cases, just tear small pieces of ordinary cotton wool and glue. That will make it even more interesting.
Well, how exactly to stick cotton wool is up to you. Turn on your imagination, and the ice cream snowman is not the limit!
#2 Snowmen from paper plates
Cool crafts can be made from ordinary paper plates. You will find a step-by-step master class on making a snowman-skier below. The craft will appeal to both kids and older children.
And here is a simpler option: a triangle snowman. Ideal for kindergarten.
Or, for example, another simple do-it-yourself snowman, which can be made with kindergarten-age children. Simple, fast, cute!
And of course, a shiny snowman. We have all seen how snow shimmers in the sun. So that our snowman also shimmers like that, we will cover it with coarse salt. A couple of buttons for the eye, a couple for the blush - and the snowman is ready!
#3 Snowmen from paper cups
From improvised materials for making a snowman, paper cups are also suitable. Additionally, for decor, you will need a few strips of felt, a pom-pom and fluffy wire. See step by step photo instructions below.
#4 Snowmen from plastic cups
You can also make a snowman with your own hands from plastic cups. The statue turns out to be huge and is better suited for street decor. So if there is no snow, gather the kids from the yard and make a snowman without snow for the whole yard! Snow-snow, and the festive mood should be no matter what!
#5 Snowman from plastic bottles
By the way, healthy snowmen are obtained from ordinary plastic bottles. So if you collect garbage separately, it's finally time for plastic bottles. Forward decor!

Good afternoon. Today we will make New Year's cards with our own hands. I will show you the most interesting ways and techniques. You will not only see photos, but also receive detailed instructions and diagrams for creating each such postcard. I will give you the necessary workshops to illustrate complex techniques (quilling, origami) step by step.
I decided to divide the entire article into 5 parts - on the topics of New Year's cards.
- First, we will look at a variety of Christmas trees on postcards.
- Then I will show which Santas can decorate your postcard.
- Then we will make Snowmen in different techniques.
- Then we move on to Christmas wreaths.
- And of course, consider the applications of snowflakes on postcards.
So let's get started...
Part one
FIR-tree on New Year's cards.
Method number 1 - paper triangles.
If you still have old signed New Year's cards, you can no longer re-gift them in the second round. But you can use them to create a NEW postcard. From a New Year's card, you can cut a triangle, put it on a leg and get a Christmas tree. The New Year's motive on the postcard turned out by itself - like the colors of the Christmas tree.
Or you can carve a Christmas tree from an ordinary cardboard box - rough corrugated packaging will be in harmony with delicate lace or pearl beads. And you will receive an elegant New Year's card made by yourself.
You can cut out a triangular Christmas tree shape with wavy edges, and glue it with sequins that imitate Christmas decorations on the Christmas tree.
You can give the triangular silhouette of the herringbone a scalloped edge (as in the postcard photo below). And also you can cut out several silhouettes at once and arrange them on one New Year's card.
On the blue New Year's card from the photo below, we see how a three-dimensional lobed Christmas tree is glued together from three triangles.
Or one Christmas tree silhouette can be larger in size and with a different shade of color - we put it as a duplicate background under the top silhouette (as on the right New Year's card from the photo below).
Method number 2 - paper ribbons on a New Year's card.
From paper or textile ribbons, you can quickly and easily form a herringbone appliqué.
You can use regular strips of colored paper. Or buy a braid with embroidery in the sewing department of the store. Or, in the gift department of the store, buy a sheet of elegant wrapping paper and cut patterned stripes from it for a Christmas tree appliqué on a New Year's card.
Here in the photo below we see several options for creating such a Christmas tree application.
Paper strips do not have to be glued in a strict order and symmetry. You can cut strips of four lengths - 10 cm, 8 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm. And arrange them in a chaotic oblique order starting from the bottom of 10 cm, in the middle we lay strips of 3 cm and 5 cm, and at the top 3 cm. We crown it all paper star and get a New Year's card with your own hands as in the left photo below.
You can also take a triangle cut out of thick cardboard and glue it with strips of paper or fabric, bending the edges of the strips to the inside of the cardboard triangle. And we will get a ready-made elegant Christmas tree, which you can safely stick on your postcard (right photo below).
But with paper strips, you can do not only planar applications. You can make Christmas trees in three-dimensional technique. Here I give a detailed description of how to make a looped Christmas tree with your own hands on a red New Year's card from the left photo below.
Step 1 - cut strips narrow and long - their lengths will also be different: 2 strips of 15 cm, 2 strips of 12 cm, 2 strips of 9 cm, and one strip of 7 cm.
Step 2 - we make cuts in the front side of the card with a blade - 2 slots on both sides along an imaginary line(the width of each slot is such that our strip can easily fit into it).
Step 3 - push each strip at one end through 2 slots- turn the loop and again return to the same slots. The ends of the strip met at the side glue in the same loop as on the opposite side.
We repeat the same procedure with the rest of the strips. Naturally, it is necessary to arrange the strips from the bottom up in decreasing order (long at the bottom, short at the top).
Or you can cut 6 paper strips of the same length in 12 cm. Bend each strip in half and interlace the folds of the halves with each other cross to cross - in a checkerboard weave. It just looks difficult. But really simple. Here you can tear out a sheet from a notebook and cut 6 strips of any length and practice on such rough material - to see how simple and easy everything really is.
And here is another New Year's card, where Christmas tree is also made of strips of paper. Only here crepe paper is used (with a wrinkled effect) - it is sold in stationery stores in rolls (like wallpaper).
Step 1 - We cut wide strips of different lengths - 12 cm, 10 cm, 8 cm, 6 cm, 4 cm.
Step 2 - On the postcard, we outline tier lines (rounded), to these lines we will glue each tier of our Christmas tree made of paper. We attach a strip of double-sided tape to these drawn lines.
Step 3 - We take the longest strip (12 cm) and fold its entire upper edge into small folds - tucks - and put these tucks on the bottom line of the adhesive tape. We take the next strip in size (10 cm) and do the same. And so we move to the top tier of the Christmas tree. Then we decorate the Christmas tree on the New Year's card for any design at our discretion.
Method number 3 - paper circles.
And here is a way to make a Christmas tree on a New Year's card using circles cut out of paper. You can cut out circles of the same size (as in the blue postcard from the photo below). Or you can cut the circles into 4 different sizes - 2 circles for each size. And then the Christmas tree will turn out to be triangular in shape (tapering up) as in the red New Year's card from the photo below.
Method number 4 - quilling technique for postcards for the New Year.
And here is another technique by which very beautiful DIY New Year cards are obtained. You can make beautiful twists from paper strips.
This is how the process of creating a Christmas tree using the quilling technique looks like. Cutting paper into even strips(It is convenient to do this under the ruler with a paper knife - on a wooden board so as not to cut the table. Or you can buy ready-made quilling strips. Or get a machine for cutting quilling strips.
We lay each twist in the circle of the template(so that the twists are the same size). We allow the tight twist to open up a little, unwind - but within the framework of a round stencil. And then glue the tail-tip of the twist to the barrel of the twist itself. That is, we fix its size. So it will be possible to remove it from the stencil frame and not be afraid that it will unwind and increase its size.
If you don't have a stencil, you can use round caps for creams or drinks. Lay the twist on the bottom of the glass or lid and let it unwind to the diameter of the lid. Then carefully remove with tweezers and fix the twist tail with glue.
We pinch round twists on one side with a finger to give it the shape of a drop.
We add drops of different sizes in pairs - and we get a quick and simple Christmas tree.
Quilling technique allows you to create a variety of Christmas tree models from paper twists.
Method number 5 - paper rolls.
Or you can cut the paper into wide strips of different lengths - and roll each strip into a roll. It's easy to do if wrap it around a pencil- glue, wait until the glue grabs - and only then remove it from the pencil. From such rolls of different lengths, a beautiful Christmas tree on a postcard is obtained. Quick and easy to do by hand. paper can be used simple color. Or buy sheets gift wrapping paper(sold in the gift section).
Method number 6 - a mosaic Christmas tree on a postcard.
You can use any small details as a material for creating a Christmas tree. Sliced snowflakes or butterflies. Buttons or origami stars or bolts and nuts (if you are preparing a card for your husband and want to make it brutal).
Method number 7 - a lace Christmas tree on a New Year's card.
You can make beautiful lace on a New Year's card. you can use ready-made lace paper napkins(sold in a hardware store, in the same place where cupcake molds are). Such napkins are often placed under cakes and other culinary products).
Or you can create your own paper lace- folding paper as for cutting out a snowflake. And along the folded edge, start up an interesting pattern with holes.
Can you fold the cut-out snowflake itself in the shape of a Christmas tree and stick it on a Christmas card.
Method number 8 - origami technique.
But New Year's cards, which are decorated with a Christmas tree folded from a napkin. Such folding origami in the form of a Christmas tree is made quite quickly and from a simple square (nothing needs to be cut out). The main thing is that each upper square should be slightly smaller in size than the lower one. And then the tiers of our Christmas tree will go to the narrower to the top.
Below I have drawn a diagram that illustrates the process of creating paper blanks for a Christmas tree for a postcard.
But you yourself can come up with YOUR interpretations of a modular paper Christmas tree. Come up with your own triangular bends and create your own individual New Year's card with a Christmas tree.
Method number 9 - a folding Christmas tree on a postcard.
And here is another folding Christmas tree. Everything here is quite simple and is made from a single piece of cardboard. And if you wish, you can additionally decorate the Christmas tree with colored paper and decorations.
And also you can quickly fold an origami paper Christmas tree in such a semicircular pattern. You can copy the shape of the Christmas tree and the fold lines directly from the monitor screen. To zoom in or out on the screen, roll the mouse wheel forward or backward while holding down the Ctrl key.
Or you can make such a Christmas tree yourself without a drawing. And just bending the semicircle back and forth several times, as shown in the figure below.
If such a semicircular pattern for a folding Christmas tree is made not with a smooth edge, but the circumference of the pattern is serrated into soft ruffles or teeth, then the edges of our tiers near the Christmas tree will turn out to be curly, as in the photo of New Year's cards below.
Method number 10 - paper carving.
Also for Christmas cards, the carving technique with lapels is suitable. This technique is very easy to do. Part of the picture is cut with a razor blade and folded back. We see the most primitive sample in the right photo below - half of the contours of the Christmas tree and the snowflake are cut off there and simply bent.
You can make a double contour - and then the bend will turn out in the form of a narrow silhouette strip, as is done on the left postcard from the photo below.
And you can cut and bend down each tier silhouette of a Christmas tree on a postcard. And we will get a Christmas card with the photo below.
You can first practice on any draft piece of paper - to make sure how easy it is to actually implement such a postcard carving technique, and make your own unique New Year's craft.
We have considered New Year's cards with a Christmas theme, and now let's look at all the other New Year's stories that you can decorate our postcards with your own hands.
Part two
Santa Claus on postcards.
Large applications in the form of Santa Claus will decorate any Christmas card. No need to make a full-length silhouette of Santa Claus somewhere in the corner of a postcard in the form of a small booger. It is better to take the largest size of the hat, beard and take the entire part of the card with these main elements of Santa Claus - a red nose, mustache, beard, hat.
You can fold Santa Claus using the origami technique for a postcard - as shown in the photo below.
Part three
SNOWMAN on New Year's cards.
And now you can move on to a new character of the Christmas holidays - a snowman. Usually we are used to seeing him on crafts in the form of three white rounds and a bucket on his head. But you can get creative with the task of depicting a snowman on a postcard. For example, make it peeking out from behind the Christmas tree - as in the left photo below.
Or take a ready-made postcard with a snowman - cut it into strips of different lengths - and fold a Christmas tree pyramid out of these strips. Fold in such a way that on some strips a sly snowman's face is visible (as on the left New Year's card from the photo below).
Also, you don't have to appliqué a snowman on a classic white paper card. You can take a musical staff of a New Year's song on the Internet - put it on print, and cut out round disks from such paper for a snowman appliqué.
Or take a printed text that tells about New Year's traditions and cut circles for a snowman from such text.
You can make a snowman on a postcard from a paper fan. When the fan is bent in half - and its blades unfold in a circle.
You can make a snowman on a postcard using the quilling technique. Twist from white paper strips the twist modules, and fold the quilling snowman.
You can depict a snowman in an interesting unusual angle or setting. It can be a snowman from the TOP VIEW (as in the left photo below) ... or a snowman inside a snow globe (as in the right photo).
You can make an applique of a snowman who pierces a snowflake with his nose. Or a snowman-lord in a top hat and with a red bow around his neck.
It is not necessary to put a bucket on a snowman. The snowman looks good in a neat black hat with a brim, decorated with a sprig of holly.
A snowman on a postcard can be depicted quite schematically. Semicircle, scarf stripe, two beady eyes and an orange triangle nose.
You can make a simplified silhouette of a snowman the side of a two-layer postcard as in the photo below.
Or you can use the entire white background of the card as the body of a snowman. On New Year's cards with a photo below just this principle is shown.
The most difficult thing is to make a three-dimensional 3D postcard with a silhouette of a snowman.
Part Four
DEER on Christmas cards.
Another New Year's character that looks festive on New Year's cards is a deer.
It can also be portrayed outside the box, but in an interesting situation. For example, it can be a deer singing Christmas carols with inspiration, playing a drum, or skating - it's all up to your imagination.
You can choose the simplest silhouette application ONLY DEER HEADS on postcards.
And you can decorate a New Year's card with the silhouette of a whole deer - from horns to hooves.
Part Four
SNOWFLAKES on New Year's cards.
You can cut out 2 ordinary stars from paper and fold them on top of each other with an offset of one ray - and we will get an elegant snowflake on a Christmas card with our own hands.
You can make a beautiful snowflake using a voluminous convex technique.
Or embroider a snowflake from threads. That is, apply a symmetrical pattern of punctures. And then, in a certain order, lace these puncture holes with threads to make an openwork snowflake.
You do not have to come up with very complex weaves of threads. Even small thread and needle patterns will decorate your New Year cards.
In this thread technique, you can make not only snowflakes, but also any other New Year's motifs.
And of course a quilling snowflake.
Here in the photo below we see the stages of creating a complex snowflake from ordinary quilling modules - you need to start each snowflake from the center - and increase the petals to the middle - circle by circle.
Your Christmas card with snowflakes can look like a layered cake with all sorts of details mixed in, layering and bumping into each other in an ornate chaos of beauty.
The snowflake on your postcard can be made from origami paper modules.
Part five
WREATHS on New Year's cards.
And here is the theme of festive Christmas wreaths. On a postcard, they can be depicted in any technique. It can be a planar applique of any geometric shape, decorated with ribbons, buttons and other tinsel.
You can make a New Year's card in the form of a door on which such a Christmas wreath hangs.
Quilling technique is also ideal for creating modules for a Christmas wreath.
New Year's cards can decorate birds. They can sing winter songs while sitting on birch musical branches.
Also, New Year's cards can depict a winter window through which you can see either a snowy landscape or a festive room with a Christmas tree.
And here are some more ideas how to give money in a New Year's card . We are accustomed to investing money inside postcards. But you can put money outside, making it part of the general New Year's application. I will now explain how to place the money on the front side of the postcard and not ruin it with glue.
Here on the first postcard we see a bill that was folded in a triangular cone - a ribbon was glued to the postcard (not money, we don’t spoil it with glue) and glued the ribbon so that it sticks to the glue in the middle, and its tails hang freely. We put a Christmas tree-money cone on the ribbon - and tie it, tie it with the free ends of the ribbon.
In the second case we glue the snowman - but we don’t just glue it - but on plump pieces of styrofoam. That is, the snowman turns out towering on the postcard. Thus, the neck of the snowman turns out to be moved away from the canvas of the postcard - and under his neck you can safely slip a banknote folded into a strip.
And in the third case - we roll candles out of paper. We glue them with ribs to the postcard. And in each tube we put a banknote folded into a narrow roll.
These are the original ideas for New Year's cards I found for you this holidays.
Good luck with your New Year's crafts and a happy New Year.

In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editorial website believes 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. 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).

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
A couple more ideas from the Bog&ide blog. 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 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 in, 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
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), but for those who want everything to be fast, the blog has ready-made parts that can be printed on a color printer and simply glued together.
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 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.

Postcard "Snowman" from paper: tools and materials
To make a New Year's card with a snowman, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:
- ½ sheet of white cardboard or landscape sheet;
- ¼ sheet of colored paper;
- corner hole puncher;
- gouache paints;
- brush, sponge or foam rubber;
- cardboard template;
- glue stick;
- 2 paperclips.
Read a poem about a snowman to your child and invite him to draw it on a New Year's card.
Do-it-yourself paper snowman postcard: a description of the manufacture in step-by-step photos
Step 1. We make the basis for a card with a snowman.
Cut a sheet of A4 white cardboard or landscape sheet into 2 equal parts. Fold 1/2 sheet of cardboard in half.
Step 2. Making a frame.
Reduce 1/4 sheet of blue paper by cutting off 1.5 - 2 cm on both sides (the amount depends on how much you want to leave the white frame).
Using a corner hole punch, draw the corners on blue paper.
Lubricate the edges of blue paper with glue from the wrong side and stick it on white cardboard so that a white frame remains on all sides.
Step 3. Making a snowman template.
Cut out cardboard according to the size of the postcard (from a notebook cover or from a box of chocolates), on which mark two circles with a compass: the top one is slightly smaller than the bottom one or circle any two round objects. In this case, the diameter of the upper circle is 4.5 cm, the lower one is 5.5 cm. Cut out two circles, getting a shape in the form of the number 8 inside the cardboard.
You will end up with a sheet of cardboard that has a hole in the shape of the number 8 (our snowman template).
Apply the template to the postcard.
Step 4. Draw a snowman.
Attach the cardboard template to the card with paper clips. Dip a sponge or a piece of foam rubber into white paint and stamp it on blue paper inside the circles, leaving the topmost part unpainted, where the snowman's hat will be.
Step 5. Let's see what we got.
Remove the template from the postcard. Here's what you got.
Step 6. We draw snowdrifts.
Similarly, apply white paint around the snowman - these are snowdrifts. You can press the sponge stick harder to print a white circle - snowballs.
Step 7. Draw a snowman's hat.
Draw a hat with a lapel and a pompom in bright color.
Step 8. We make out the face of a snowman.
Draw a nose in orange - a carrot. Mark the mouth with black paint, and use an ear stick to put two dots - eyes.
Step 9. Draw a scarf.
Draw a scarf, fringe with bright paint. And draw stripes with several lines of black paint.
Step 10. We draw handles and buttons.
With dark green paint, use an ear stick to put 3 dots on the bottom circle of the snowman - these are buttons. And with brown paint with a thin brush draw handles - panicles.
We admire, our snowman is ready!
Of course, you can choose the colors by color yourself! Instead of a hat, you can draw a bucket, a pan, a hat with earflaps, a beret, a cap - this is your creativity!
This is what Nastya did, 7 years old
And you can decorate the corners of the postcard with shiny stickers - there are a lot of them on sale now and such a variety!
