How to make a card for a friend for the New Year. DIY New Year cards

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 something 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’s 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.

Making 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 cardstock (or White paper), a triangle made of orange paper and 2 miniature snowflakes, which we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you’ll have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children’s toy, with the children’s consent, of course).

Gifts

This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces of wrapping paper that you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon.

Santa Claus

A friendly Father Frost (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. The fur of the hat and the beard are obtained like this: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

Simple drawings

An irresistible idea in its elegance is to draw Christmas balls with patterns using a black gel pen. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else won’t be difficult—the 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 - best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very cute.

Many, many different Christmas trees

For the first, you will need decorative tape or colored cardboard (with or without glitter - now you can easily buy these at an office supply store or in hobby stores). For the second - elegant straws for drinks and good glue.

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

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

This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do this well) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - you can find an incredible number of options here using different color ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school years. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this card it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Using sharp scissors, cut out the snowy landscape and moon and paste it onto a black or dark blue background.

Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow is polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.

Hugging snowman

The author of the blog My kid craft made this snowman with her children. The snowman throws his arms up in joy when the card is opened. You can write your wishes inside. It will be interesting for children to make an applique (and paint their hands and cap),

More snowmen

Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts 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 your 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 this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled 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 ribbon. But balls are such a win-win option that you can allow yourself to fantasize: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And you can simply draw the strings.

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

Volumetric balls

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

Multi-colored balls

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

Cards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also 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 the Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls, or on newspaper clouds.

What could be simpler and cuter than a button snowman? The second card will require more effort, but the result is worth it.

The New Year tree is an indispensable attribute of the holiday. Therefore, postcards with her image will be especially appropriate. Plus, these cards can be very easy to make.

The New Year's tree applique can be made from plain or multi-colored strips of paper. Even a small child can make this New Year's craft with his own hands.

Strips of paper can be replaced with colored tape or braid. They also make very beautiful New Year's cards.

A more complicated option is a New Year's card "Christmas tree" made from paper tubes. This original three-dimensional postcard for the New Year "Christmas tree" is made of paper straws. The Christmas tree is decorated with multi-colored buttons. Its trunk is made from a twig. To make this New Year's card, it is advisable to use special scrapbooking paper or corrugated cardboard.

It’s very easy to make a Christmas tree applique using store-bought stickers. Even a two-year-old can do this craft for the New Year with his own hands.

Simple and effective - homemade New Year's cards "Christmas tree" from ordinary buttons.

You can also embroider a Christmas tree with threads. Only in this case, the New Year's card should be made of high-density paper or cardboard. The holes must first be carefully made with an awl. The simplest option Christmas tree see photo below.

For a more complex version of a New Year's card with a Christmas tree made of threads, see here >>>> To make this New Year's craft with your own hands, you will also need sequins or beads.

By the way, you can embroider not only a Christmas tree with threads, but also something else, New Year’s. For example, this cute deer.

Original New Year's card You can make it with your own hands from a fern leaf or any other plant similar to it. For example, cypress branches. Just take the top of the leaf and glue it onto the card. This will be a Christmas tree. All you have to do is decorate it with sequins or confetti made using a hole punch from colored paper. Instead of confetti, you can glue multi-colored pieces of plasticine to the Christmas tree. Even a child can do this part of the work of making a homemade New Year’s card.

You can make a New Year's card either from a whole leaf of fern, or just from its upper part.

Option 3.

Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year's card. To make such a voluminous card with a Christmas tree for the New Year, you will need three square sheets of green paper: large, medium and small. Also, in order to make a Christmas tree trunk, you will need a sheet of brown paper rectangular shape.

Fold each square piece of paper in half first (horizontally and vertically) to mark the center lines. Then fold them two more times diagonally. After this, fold each sheet into a pyramid (see photos 3 and 4). Glue a Christmas tree from the resulting pyramids by inserting them into each other.

Option 5.

Very beautiful New Year's craft with your own hands, accessible in complexity to a preschooler - a voluminous New Year's card "Christmas tree". The Christmas tree is made of rectangular strips of paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the tiers of the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: the ones at the bottom are the widest, the closer to the top the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The bottom strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large "step". The higher you go to the top, the shallower the bend depth.

Here are two more voluminous postcards with a New Year tree made from a triangular-shaped sheet of paper folded like an accordion. Simple and tasteful!

Don’t know how to congratulate your loved ones on the New Year in an original way or how to draw a New Year’s card?

Make a gift with your own hands. Such a gift will bring doubly joy, since it is made with love. Making a postcard will not take you much time. Take note of how to make a card for the New Year.

A New Year's card can contain any holiday-themed drawing: a Christmas tree, a snowman, Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden or a symbol of the coming year. You can take any photo as the basis for a New Year's card.

Let's try to draw a dog in a Santa Claus hat with a pencil:

Take a landscape sheet.
We start the drawing with the dog. We draw the head and muzzle. Using curved lines we outline the center of the head and the location of the eyes. We make these lines barely noticeable so that they can be erased later.
We draw ears.
And we make a sketch of the hat. We make the vertical line from the head to the paws not too noticeable.
Now let's draw the rim of the cap, the tip and the bubo.
Using the prepared lines we draw the dog’s eyes, nose and mouth.
Now we need to erase the circle that we used to mark the animal’s face.
At this point you need to draw fur with short lines. Using strokes we apply the fur around the eyes, nose and mouth.
Then we erase the oval of the head, and draw fur in this place.
We make our dog curly by applying strokes to the ears and head.
Using a harder pencil, paint over the eyes, nose, and ears.
Using the same principle, we make the rim of the hat and the bubo fluffy.
Using slightly curved lines we make bends on the cap.
We process the dark areas of the picture, pressing firmly on the pencil.
Now we need to draw the background of the New Year's card.
In the upper right corner we will draw a Christmas tree branch and hang a garland on it. You can draw Christmas tree decorations and fireworks along the edges of the postcard. Decorate the free space with snowflakes. At the bottom, in the remaining space, we will make the inscription “Happy New Year!”

Your DIY New Year's card is ready. You can color it with colored pencils or leave it as is. Show your imagination and make the background as you wish. Place such a gift under the Christmas tree, and it will definitely bring joy.

Bullfinches on a branch

Let's try to draw color postcard"Bullfinches on a branch."

We will need a sheet of paper, a simple pencil and colored pencils:

On a piece of paper we make a sketch of two spruce branches on which our birds will sit.
We imagine how the snow will lie on the branches and draw its contours.
Now you need to erase the lines of the branches and draw the tubercles where the bullfinches will sit. Just three birds.
We sketch two cones that will hang on the lower branch.
We draw the top bullfinch: its body, head, beak and wing. Let's finish drawing the bird's abdomen and tail.
We move on to the second bullfinch, for which we depict the head, back, wing, chest and beak.
We depict the third bird by drawing the head, beak, wing, chest, tail.
Paint over dark color heads, wings and backs of bullfinches. And the red color is the abdomen.
Using a green pencil, we draw needles on the branches of the Christmas tree using line movements. We depict them close to each other, making them slightly curved. Using a light green pencil, we'll go over the needles, making them more realistic.
Using a brown pencil, draw two cones and branches visible between the needles.
Take a blue pencil and shade the snow on the branches. A purple draw additional shadows.

The postcard is ready. Can you draw some New Year's symbols in the background or leave it like that, making the inscription “Happy New Year!” Place this postcard with your own hands on festive table or give it as a gift.

Drawing Santa Claus near the Christmas tree

For the New Year, you can’t do without the main symbol of this holiday - the Christmas tree.

Let's draw a postcard with the image of Santa Claus with a bag of gifts standing near the New Year's beauty:

We are thinking about where our postcard characters will be depicted. Santa Claus will be depicted on the left. We draw the nose, mustache, eyes and the bottom of the hat.
Now let's draw a hat with a bubo.
We finish drawing the beard and mouth.
Next we depict a fur coat, sleeves, felt boots and mittens. We decorate the sleeves with white. Santa Claus is ready.
Then we depict a Christmas tree standing to the right of Grandfather. To do this, you need to draw the upper left branch of the Christmas tree, making it slightly curved. On the opposite side you should try to draw the same branch. Draw the next branches, making them slightly larger than the top ones. We should have three tiers.
Near Santa Claus, in the center of the tree, draw a free-form bag with gifts.
We give our characters a realistic look by decorating the Christmas tree with toys and garlands, as well as a five-pointed star. Let's draw folds on the bag.
You can draw a shadow from Santa Claus, a Christmas tree and a bag.

Make the inscription “New Year” and the beautiful card is ready. Give your child crayons or markers and let him help you color the card, giving it a lively look.

New Year's socks

The tradition of putting gifts in socks came to us from the West. Santa Claus, having made his way into the house through the chimney, puts gifts in socks that hang on the fireplace.

Let's try to draw a card with a picture of New Year's socks:

We will draw three socks hanging on the fireplace. Let's start with the right sock: draw the fur part of the stocking and draw two parallel lines from it. Then we finish drawing the nose of the sock.
Decorate the entire length of the stocking with snowflakes and patterns.
Using this pattern we draw the remaining two socks.
Using a ruler, draw two straight lines - this will be the crossbar.
We add loops to the socks on which they hang.
You can depict the contents of the stockings: some kind of toy or candy stick.

To give the card a complete look, paint the socks red, the crossbar black, and don’t forget to paint the toys. On the postcard you can write a New Year's greeting, a poem or a song, as well as standard phrase"Happy New Year!"

How to draw a New Year's card, you understand. You can decorate your apartment with such a postcard, New Year's table, put it under the Christmas tree or give it to family and friends.

Now stock up on your imagination, paper, pencils and start creating.

Ask your child to help you with this interesting task and have fun controlling the process.

Please your loved ones with gifts made with love and with your own hands!

Even a modest souvenir accompanied beautiful postcard made with your own hands will be an excellent gift. Such a postcard will not only convey warm regards, but will also be an excellent home decor. We are sharing ways to make amazing New Year cards easily and simply.

1. Almost knitted card

You can put the leftover knitting yarn to work by making a DIY New Year's card out of it. Cut out a triangle from cardboard that will become a Christmas tree, generously coat it with glue and wrap it with colored thread. How more colors yarn will be used - so much the better. Then glue the Christmas tree onto a regular card and decorate it further if desired.

2. Contrasting textile applique

Pieces of brightly colored fabrics are useful for creating cards. Choose textiles that will not crumble. Cut out simple figures from fabric - Christmas trees, Christmas balls, animals - and glue them onto white postcard. Contrasting color combinations look most impressive.

3. Balls and ribbons

Using ribbons in decoration is a win-win solution for those who want to create a festive mood. Draw the outlines of a New Year's ball on paper or lay it out using glued beads, and place a bow tied from a narrow ribbon in the upper part. The presence of three-dimensional elements makes the decorative card very original.

4. Christmas tree with voluminous branches

Roll thin tubes from multi-colored paper. Lubricate one of the edges with glue so that it does not unfold. Then glue the tubes different lengths on a postcard. The postcard with a three-dimensional Christmas tree is ready.

5. Laconic stripes

Fans of minimalism will appreciate a discreet but effective card, where Christmas tree branches are made from strips of paper. The only decoration of such a postcard is the decorative seam on the paper branches and the frame along the edges of its front part.

6. Fragrant message

A card that not only looks great, but also smells great is a truly pleasant surprise. Use cinnamon or vanilla sticks as the basis for a decorative composition, surrounding them with New Year's tinsel, beads, and pictures.

7. Winter lace

White lace becomes snow-covered Christmas tree branches, and sequins glued to it become New Year's balls. For the background, use any paper pastel shade or textured fabric, such as burlap.

8. Simple drawing

Even a simple drawing on a New Year's card can look impressive. In order for the card to look noble, pay special attention to the accuracy of its application. We also recommend using rough craft or snow-white glossy paper.

9. Sewing on paper

The easy way to make the card three-dimensional - sew on any paper shape with one seam running through the center and bend its edges. You can also use several figures of the same shape, stitching them with a common seam, and gluing one of them as a background. Then the image will be even more voluminous.

10. With quilling elements

Quilling is the art of creating decorative compositions from strips of paper. It will not be possible to fully master it in a couple of days before the New Year, but it is quite possible to apply certain techniques in decorating a postcard. Circles of twisted narrow strips of paper become Christmas balls, and the tree is a green curved line drawn on a card.

11. Combination of several different textures

Another simple way to diversify the usual appliqué is to use materials with a different texture. For example, knitted fabric, cardboard, plain thin paper. Then, despite the simple shape of the elements, the postcard will look non-trivial.

12. Eye-catching contrasts

It is not at all necessary to use white paper as the base of the card and make the applique bright. Do the opposite, and the decorative composition will sparkle with new colors.

13. Either an inscription or a drawing

To apply inscriptions and designs, choose paint that contrasts with the paper base. The more intricate and decorative the inscription, the better. Don't forget to surround it with small ones simple drawings.

14. Lovely landscape

A simple landscape applique will become a real decoration for a New Year’s card. Complete it with voluminous elements - cotton wool imitating snow, beads, sequins, and even chains. This DIY New Year's card looks very cozy.

15. Elegant brutality

On thick paper rich color make holes along the contour of the triangle. Pull the threads between them in a chaotic manner. You shouldn’t make too many stitches - our New Year’s card is valuable for its brevity.

16. Maximum shine

Draw a Christmas tree on paper and generously coat it with silicone glue. Then add sparkles and beads. After drying, you can glue a thick thread along the contour. This DIY New Year's card will sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow.

17. Paper snowmen

The basis for the snowman card is white paper folded several times. Lubricate it a little with glue so that the snowman holds its shape. From the leftover fabric, make a hat and scarf for the snowman, and draw his face.

18. Second life of old buttons

In every home there are many buttons that are no longer needed, but it’s a shame to throw them away. The day before New Year's holidays buttons will come in handy. Glued onto a postcard, they become New Year's balls. Complete the composition with a simple inscription. Your DIY New Year's card is ready.

When gifts for loved ones are ready, it’s time to think about decorating your own home. Do not forget

We bring to your attention a large number of examples homemade cards for the New Year. All you need is various colored and wrapping paper, glue, scissors and all kinds of decorative details - holiday ribbons, rhinestones, buttons, beads, satin ribbons. When creating New Year's cards and gifts with your own hands, remember the most pleasant moments associated with the people for whom you want to prepare these wonderful and unique gifts, show your own imagination and be creative and have no doubt, your New Year's holidays will become the most unforgettable!
