New Year cards with their own hands (57 photos): ideas how to make beautiful postcards for the new year. Simple and bulk options for mom, dad and grandmother

Give your relatives and close holiday is no less pleasant than getting a gift yourself. Especially valuable souvenirs made personally. This is not just a beautiful memorable thing, but also strong emotion. The best way to show your appreciation is a homemade bright postcard.

What can I use?

New Year's theme allows you to use a variety of materials to convey the mood of the holiday. Gifts are customary to execute in red and green or white and blue tones.

Red and green is associated with an elegant Christmas tree, and white and blue - with sparkling snow, winter sometimes. But this does not mean that you can not try other colors.

The easiest and most classic option is a postcard from colored cardboard. In the stationery store you can find packaging with the most different shades inside. Now let's even produce special sets for needlework with gold, silver, copper sheets.

To decorate a postcard, turn on the fantasy. Mishura, colored threads, gift brilliant packaging or foil will fit as decor.

You can imitate the snow with a wool or synthet board attached by the stapler or sewn up. For the same purposes take crumbled foam. Some simply buy an artificial snow cylinder for windows, but such a decoration is short-lived, it crepts very quickly.

Inscriptions can be performed by special glitter glue. It looks great for the text applied by the usual pva glue with a thin weaving and topped with minor sparkles. Words are obtained volumetric and beautiful.

The technique of mixing different textures looks very interesting. Cut the Christmas tree from the terry fabric of the desired color, stick to the cardboard and decorate the trees with beads and a real rain.

If you are fond of modeling, you can make your own polymer clay figures for the design of the postcard. Volumetric decorations, stitched from the fabric, look very cozy and cute. Little kids will be interested to make a postcard from familiar things: macaroni, croup, buttons or threads.

Simple paper postcards

Quickly and beautifully arrange a postcard for the new year using a picture.

You will need:

Colored paper or cardboard;
pencils;
Paints or markers.

You can come up with a special plot for a picture that will be associated with a close person, a gift address. Or you can search for cute options on the Internet and draw from there.

Select a size for the future postcard. Standardly is a sheet of A4 format, folded in half. For larger postcards, you will need to binds the sheets with each other or use the big watman, sliced as necessary. To fasten the halves, cut the paper strip 2 cm wide, smoothly bent along and glue on each side. The gluing from the inside will be invisible and will not spoil the appearance. The gluing outside will further protect the fold, and the postcard will delight the owner much longer. Also copold parts can be satin ribbon. Leave long ends on both sides and make a beautiful bow, as if on a box with a gift.

In order for the drawing to be pretty, look for special shiny handles or markers. Snowflakes drawn by silver color look quite like real. Get the biserini or fine tiny tinsel on your gift.

Very beautiful and unusual postcards with slots. For example, inside you can use a color cardboard of a red or other bright color, and starring the Christmas tree outside. Cut the small circles with a stationery knife on the front side to make it similar to the New Year balls. Or set inside the cheerful Santa Claus, a Christmas deer, a snowman - and let them "look" from the window of a house shown on the postcard.

When working with glue, observe accuracy. But if a small drop hit where it was not necessary, just add a few more and sprinkle with sparkles - and the drawing will be saved!

So that the fold was smooth and beautiful, the tight cardboard can be slightly cut with the glossy side by the stationery knife. So the coating will not be wrinkled from folding.

With Applique

Application is the technique of overlaying several decorative layers, creating a pattern from parts pasted on the basis. In the manufacture of such postcards are light, and the drawings are very cute and fun.

There are quite a few options for creating beautiful and simple in the manufacture of postcards.

The simplest applique is a figurine carved from cardboard. For example, you can cut triangles and assemble a Christmas tree on top, and on top of glistening with shiny paper or foil circles - decorations.
For appliqués use fabric. If you have a small piece of fur, you can get a bunny or a bear. Beads will become eyes, and add a bow on the neck - a gift is ready!
Thin corrugated paper will create volume. It can be just rolling into lumps and glue as colored balls on the Christmas tree or cut beautiful snowflakes from it. We will lay such snowflakes several times in half into a triangle, and we glue only the middle so that the edges remain free.
For appliqués you can use anything. For example, paper or plastic colored tubes. Of these, you can fold the inscription, a house or cut into a chopsticks of different lengths and folded into the Christmas tree. From the beautiful wrapping paper you yourself can twist such tubes.
A little difficult and long, but with the help of a chopped fine cardboard of different colors you can create a real mosaic. Beautifully look at pictures from circles or pentagons, triangles.
An unusual option is a thematic puzzle. Pick up a suitable wallpaper, and collect a puzzle right on the postcard, the chopping details on the glue. With the help of brilliant tapes, you can depict the frame, and add sparkles and beads to the "picture" itself.
Another original way is a postcard card. At the front side, stick a few postcards smaller, and write a wish. It will be interesting to reveal them all and collect congratulations on parts.
Applique can be done inside. This is such a gift with a surprise: on the front side is empty, and all the beauty is hidden.
Multi-layered appliques look outwardly. Create a New Year's story with a winter forest and a Christmas deer. Draw on white paper silhouettes of trees on the snow and clouds so that in the middle there is an empty place. Cut it with the help of a stationery knife or thin manicure scissors. We stick a white sheet on the blue basis, and in the slots we will have the sky. Now add yellow month and several stars in heaven. We glue a deer on top of white snow, and it can fit into a red scarf and cap. Application technique will give the picture to the depth.
An interesting idea for a gift to parents is pair postcards. For example, for Mom, we will depict the Snow Maiden, and for Pope - Santa Claus. We will need red and blue mugs: large, medium and smaller. We stick them in the form of a snowman, and add a smaller white mug to the top of a white color, it will be a face. Let's add a triangular hat with Pompon, and the Snow Maiden is a semicircle-kokoshnik. Colored threads can be used to make her hair appliqués. Make them into the braid for the Snow Maiden or in a brush for the lush beard of Santa Claus.

From tapes and colored paper

Satin ribbons - excellent decor. You can simply stick their crosswise and tie into a beautiful bow - let the greeting card look like a gift box! And to open it, the bow should be untied. Very cute and symbolic.

Cut out beautiful christmas toys from colored paper and add to each cute tape bow.

To make an unusual Christmas tree, choose a tape fit. We will need a triangular base of cardboard. We mark it on the horizontal strip of the width of approximately in the centimeter. Now apply the ribbon with the same strips of 2-3 cm. We fold out a glossy side with a glossy and glue to the lower line of the future Christmas tree. Next to glue the second and so on, below up. I decorate the most recent looting as an asterisk. You can take the finished figure or cut out of brilliant cardboard. Decorating the Christmas tree at wishes as beads. It remains only to sign and give a gift!

You can make a Christmas tree from the tape and differently. To the bottom of the postcard, the end of the tape in the middle of the sheet. We drive the ribbon to the glossy side up, leaving the loop on the side, and glue over the previous place of the attachment. We repeat from left to right, reducing the loop length until the tree is ready. Places of gluing disguise with bright buttons or sparkles.

The Christmas tree of bows looks very cute. Just impose bows of different sizes, and collect from the bottom up.

On dense cardboard you can embroider with a ribbon pattern. In advance, make a point of puncture in advance and make holes there with a tire or thin scissors. If there is no large needle at hand, you can drag the ribbon with a crochet or wrap the tip with wire. If the tape is synthetic, twist the edge and slightly burn the lighter. If you slightly dissolve such embroidery, make free, the tape will create an interesting scope of the picture.

You can embroider the "shaggy" drawing, stretching the tape not to the end and tie a loop. So stitches will not dissolve.

Unusual ideas in Origami

Origami is an ancient Japanese art of folding paper figures without scissors or glue. With the help of origami, you can create amazing crafts. Even for beginners there are simple schemes that will not require long hours of operation. The result will be the original gifts that you can make the whole family.

Christmas tree from origami. We will need several squares of beautiful paper on your choice. We fold each in half, and bend corners to the middle. We begin the assembly from above. We glue the first element, inside the "pocket" insert the second and also crepary. It turns out a bulk and simple tree. Inside the valves, you can write wishes at wish. Decorate with ribbons or sparkles.
Semicircular fir. We will need a semicircle of paper. Visually divide the outer edge into three parts. We bend at the bottom mark, then - in the middle, but in the other way. It remains a small corner, bend and it is the top of our tree. Fresh a Christmas tree to the postcard and decorate at your request.
Volume tree from the inside. It is best to take corrugated paper, but the usual thin one will fit. Cut several lanes of different lengths, each slightly shorter than the previous one. We add them to the harmonica. The edges of each strip glue from the inside of the postcard, collecting the drawing. We decorate how to want. Opening a postcard, the recipient "will reveal" the fan, and the decoration will appear in all its glory.
A simple Christmas tree made of solid sheet. We fold a rectangular ordinary sheet across. We begin every half to the center. The resulting triangles bend to the center again. In turn, we reveal each side and fold the harmonica to the place closest to the middle of the fold. The shortest pieces glued together. Breep the back surface to the postcard and decorate.

With the help of origami, you can not only decorate the postcard, but also turn it into a beautiful bauble. For example, you can fold the envelope or make a postcard in the form of a gift box. Decorate the resulting thing with sequins and bows, and warm words can be inserted inside on a separate card or write directly inside.

And the box, and the envelope is very simple. This is shown in detail in the drawings.

How to make a 3D postcard?

A 3D card is a bulk driving, dropped in the figure. Many are familiar with beautiful and interesting children's books made in 3D technique.

For the manufacture we will need a dense cardboard and a sharp stationery knife.

Modern minimal plastic tree. Moving a sheet of cardboard across. Inside a pencil, they will make a triangle and divide it on equal stripes horizontally. Each line will be worked with a knife. Now the eraser is generically erased by a pencil sketch. Strips through one wound in the opposite direction. When opening, there will be a bulk and stylish Christmas tree.
Gorka gifts. We carry out the lines of future fold on a sheet of dense cardboard. We draw rectangles on it - future boxes with gifts. The height of the rectangle must be 2 times less than the length. You can arrange them smoothly over each other or slightly asymmetrically, but the fold line should go to each. Now decorate the rectangles with the application or pattern and cut the horizontal lines. I wipe each gift inside so that when it is closed it is without folds. Bend the postcard itself. You can also achieve a 3D effect without cutting cardboard. For this, the prepared compositions are stuck inside.
Registration of snowflakes. Cut out any snowflakes of different sizes. Each of them fold in half and cut into two parts. Moving half-liters by the accordion and glue the edges to two halves of the postcard. Place the snowflakes as you like, but do not forget that all the beauty of such gifts is visible only on the side, so the largest part of the decor should be the highest, otherwise the rest will not be visible.
Stylish composition with garland. Cut from paper striped. We stick the garlands from color or brilliant paper on it. We try to a future postcard and outlocate the place of bend. I wipe the garland on the contrary and glue the edges to two sides so that when closing the internal decor it does not stick out.
Multilayer Winter Forest. First we prepare the largest background. We are placing the semicircle and draw on it and cut out the Christmas tree so that the back is left to the half-meter. Further on a smaller semicircle, we depict a house. On the smallest half-liter, I cut Santa Claus or deer. We try to the middle of the postcard, bend the indents and glue them symmetrically the collar at a short distance from each other. We work out the place of addition. When the gift is disclosed, a cute New Year's story.
Another way to make a 3D card is a curly cutout without folding. Picture any plot or drawing, and then cut it on a tight cardboard with a sharp knife, leaving below the small indent for gluing. Bend the indent, stick it into place of bend. When you reveal the postcard completely, the figure will be perpendicular to the surface.

Thus, you can collect two- or three-layer paintings, real works of art. Or it can be a congratulatory bulk text.
