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. Take the paper Brown and cut out 5 strips (preferably different shade brown) measuring 35 by 20 mm. 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 start gluing the prepared brown stripes. To do this, glue the strip with glue right side cut and glue so that the fold of the cut strip falls on the line of the template. 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 bottom edge 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 gift handcrafted.

For more clarity, also watch the video, although it is in English, the essence can be understood without words: iris folding tutorial papermart.

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 from white and colored paper are so simple in execution 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. Also pieces wrapping paper, which you have left from gift wrapping, ribbons and ribbons.

Santa Claus

A friendly Santa Claus (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. red hat and pink face- these are strips of paper pasted on a postcard or gift bag. Fur hats and a beard are obtained as follows: you need to take paper for drawing and just tear off the strips desired shape to get jagged edges. Stick on a postcard over 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 in black gel pen Christmas balls with patterns. 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.


Laconic and stylish idea- a grove of Christmas trees, one of which is glued to a foamed double-sided 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 color 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 time painted with paint 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 the balls are so a win-win what you can afford to fantasize here: make balls from paper with a pattern, 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 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.

Guess what will come out? Of course, the Christmas tree, which you glue on cardboard folded in half. Instead of an asterisk, use a button or something else that is available from improvised materials. Even a bow will do.



How to make a 3D New Year card

To answer this question, let's turn to the video, the author will tell and show it in an accessible way, and we will only have to listen carefully and repeat it. Moreover, such a miracle, well, everyone will like it very much. The creator of the film even calls the postcard 4 d, and the truth is that you have not seen this yet. This super idea take note quickly.

The next option is no less interesting, this is a postcard that is made of paper circles, and a cool snowman came out.

We will need:

  • paper
  • cardboard
  • scissors
  • double sided tape
  • Styrofoam


Fold the cardboard in half, but cut out three circles of different diameters from white paper. Draw blue stripes along the contour to make it look brighter and match the background of the workpiece.


The next step, take a piece of foam and glue double-sided tape on it, and then a circle on the workpiece.



Thus, you will get a circle on a circle, as if you are collecting a pyramid.


Now make a snowman, glue a red nose in the form of a carrot from cardboard, draw eyes and a mouth with a marker.


Decorate to your taste, you can write Happy New Year or the like.


Here are a couple more thoughts on the subject.




I was fascinated by this fluffy Christmas tree, which, for volume, the author glued on double-sided tape and foam.


You can take ready-made templates or do the work yourself.

On this note came to an end. I hope that all works are commendable and that you like them. After all, the authors tried, and now we can admire them and take them as a basis for our own masterpieces. Make postcards for the New Year and give them to relatives and friends, teachers, educators and everyone who is dear to you.

I wish everyone wonderful mood And fabulous day! Bye.

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 schemes 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.

  1. We will first look at the most different Christmas trees on postcards.
  2. Then I will show which Santas can decorate your postcard.
  3. Then we will make Snowmen in different techniques.
  4. Then we move on to Christmas wreaths.
  5. 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 NEW postcards. From a New Year's card, you can cut a triangle, put it on a leg and get a Christmas tree. New Year's motive on the postcard it turned out by itself - like the colors of the Christmas tree.

Or you can cut a Christmas tree from a regular one. cardboard box- rough corrugated packaging cardboard 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 silhouette with wavy edges and glue it with sequins that imitate Christmas decorations on the tree.

You can give a triangular Christmas tree silhouette jagged 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 New Year's applications-trees.

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 volumetric technique. Here I give detailed description 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 - V front side we make cuts in 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 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 used here crepe paper(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 the lines-tiers ( round shape), we will glue each tier of our paper Christmas tree to these lines. We attach a strip of double-sided tape to these drawn lines.

Step 3 - We take the longest strip (12 cm) and its entire upper edge fold 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.

Can be used as material to create Christmas tree use any small details. 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 are made quite quickly and from simple square(no need to cut). 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 scheme for a folding Christmas tree is made not with a smooth edge, but the circumference of the scheme 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.

This is what we looked at New Year's cards with 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 silhouette of Santa Claus in full height 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 already finished 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 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 (as in the left photo below) ... or a snowman inside 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.

And maybe the whole White background postcards to use as the snowman's body. 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 character, which 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 get smart snowflake on a Christmas card with your 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 perform not only snowflakes, but also any other New Year's motives.

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 may look like a layer cake, which is mixed with the most miscellaneous details, layering and running into each other in an elegant chaos of beauty.

The snowflake on your postcard can be made from paper modules made in the technique of origami.

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 application from any geometric shapes, 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 to you New Year's crafts and happy new year.
