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, which do not require any rare materials to create - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around in 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.
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), a triangle of orange paper 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. As well as pieces of wrapping paper that you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbons and ribbons.
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 - 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.
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 to play with colors and textures - there is 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 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 balls are such a win-win option that you can allow yourself 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 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.
Children are very fond of making something with their own hands before the New Year, in no case should you deprive them of this joy. In this master class, I will show 10 options for how to make DIY New Year cards with step by step photos.

How to make postcards for the New Year with your own hands
New Year card with yellow pig for New Year 2019
By the New Year 2019, we suggest you make a non-standard postcard with your own hands. It is unusual in that it depicts a cute muzzle of a pig, and this animal is yellow color. You should not be surprised at this turn, because a new era is coming, albeit a short one - the year of the yellow pig.
Very soon, good friend a man, a devoted and cheerful dog will be replaced by a wise and generous pig. At all times, this animal was known as an indicator of prosperity; it is not for nothing that even piggy banks are depicted in the form of a pig. We will not depict the entire figure on cardboard, but we will make only her head. The round piece will become the center piece.
What you need to prepare for the craft:
- thick cardboard of any color;
- yellow plasticine;
- additionally other colors to complete all parts of the muzzle of the animal, for christmas decoration, for inscription.
Prepare green (or another color) cardboard for the base, you can cut off the edges roundly. And also knead the yellow plasticine in your hands. Of course, the pig can be made more traditional - pink, but yellow is more suitable for a real symbol.
Press the yellow ball to the center of the cardboard and press firmly with the palm of your hand. Next, press down with your fingers over the entire surface and smooth. Thus, a round cake will appear in front of you, which will subsequently become the head of a pig. You will not only deform the ball to the desired round shape, but also press the main part to the base.
Start turning the cake into the head of the planned animal. For now, use the same yellow plasticine. Attach a small circle to later get a piglet. Make pointed ears and attach from above to the head
Take a thin red strip and stick it under the snout as a smiling mouth. Use pink dots to add cheeks and nostrils.
Add eyes. Pigs are usually depicted as blue-eyed. We can also do this. Use small white and blue dots. Glue our eyebrows above the eyes.
Now you need to decorate your craft so that it really looks like a New Year's one. It is not yet clear why such a copy is shown in front of us. Make many small plasticine beads of different colors to create garlands.
Bright tinsel sparkles under the ceiling in decorated halls and rooms. We also need to create a similar festive atmosphere.
Collect small balls into thin threads, attach them to the cardboard at the top. Make some colorful stripes.
And one more touch is the inscription "Happy New Year!". It can be written with a marker, but it is better to glue it after completing all the letters from plasticine so as not to disturb the overall ensemble. Paste the words on the top, bottom, or sides, anywhere you like.
Glue also small balls, pressing each with your finger against the cardboard to simulate scattering of confetti. Now we have a real New Year's card, from the canvas of which a smiling and positive muzzle of a symbolic pig looks.
Craft for the New Year with a Christmas tree made of ribbons
This lesson shows how to make a New Year's greeting card with your own hands with the children. It will be based on cardboard, and the Christmas tree will be depicted in the picture, more precisely, its imitation - a green triangle, decorated with green and white satin ribbon, bright adhesive-backed rhinestones. If you like this version of a New Year's gift, consider what you need to make it, how to make it.
To complete the festive New Year's crafts proposed in this lesson, the following were used:
- white and green cardboard;
- scissors;
- multi-colored stripes of corrugated paper;
- glue;
- satin ribbon 0.5 cm wide in white and green;
- red round rhinestones;
- rhinestones in the form of a flower - 1 piece for the top;
- foil;
- white lace;
- plastic bow with rhinestones;
- black pen;
- orange colored paper.
As you can see, the list of materials includes a lot of items, but there are no exclusive or expensive ones. In addition, some of them can be completely replaced. For example, green and white cardboard will be needed to create a background and a triangular copy of the Christmas tree, but colors may vary.
Corrugated paper strips are needed in order to make a striped bright cover, fabric or ribbons are suitable instead, you can also come up with another Christmas tree decoration together with rhinestones and so on. So, first of all, cut out 2 rectangles from green and white paper, and the size of the second blank should be slightly smaller than the first.
Cut the crepe paper into strips of arbitrary length and width. Cut out some foil stars (or candy wrappers).
Stick the strips on the top layer - white cardboard. Make a fun, vibrant cover by applying stripes along the length. Glue the ends of the strips at the back. Glue the entire structure onto green paper. The background for the postcard is ready.
Add a strip of white lace at the bottom, bringing the ends under the top layer of paper. Cut out a triangle for the Christmas tree from green cardboard.
Wrap a white ribbon randomly around the triangle (glue the ends at the back).
Then add the green ribbon in the same way.
Glue the resulting Christmas tree in the center. Decorate with rhinestones and a bright top. Glue foil stars around the Christmas tree.
On a bright orange paper cutout, write “Happy New Year” with a pen and glue at the bottom - under the lace, add a bow.
A bright handmade congratulation is ready.
IN modern world 3D format is very popular. You can apply it to a paper postcard. To do this, you just need to take a few decorative elements and stick them on a white base.
The main decoration will be a paper figurine, for example, an angel. A similar image, suitable for the New Year theme, can be found in any magazine. Cut it out with scissors, and the central part of the craft is ready.
Materials:
- A5 paper - 1 sheet;
- sequins;
- silicone glue;
- paper figurine of an angel;
- double sided tape.
Crafting Instructions
Fold a piece of white paper in half. It can be a regular landscape sheet or cardboard for creativity.
Cut off small pieces of double sided tape. We stick them on a paper base in the place of the alleged location of the angel.
Remove the top protective layer from the pieces of adhesive tape.
Glue paper figurine angel on double-sided tape.
Another piece of tape will be needed to attach the snowflake. We glue it on a free area of \u200b\u200bthe sheet.
From ordinary white paper cut out a small snowflake. It should have an empty center. We apply it to the workpiece so that a piece of adhesive tape is in the central hole. Glue a sequin in the form of a snowflake on top. Thus, both snowflakes will be fixed on paper.
With silicone glue, draw abstract stripes on paper.
We lay out sequins of different colors along the strips of glue.
On the remaining empty areas of paper, glue single sequins. We arrange them without a specific system or put them into patterns.
All decorative elements protrude above the surface of the paper. They are convex and have different thicknesses. Thanks to this, the craft as a whole turns out to be voluminous and unusual.
A plasticine flat image of a Christmas ball glued to cardboard will look like a three-dimensional 3D postcard of the New Year theme. Even using plasticine, the ball can be neatly decorated, made on it interesting drawing, receive a unique gift or holiday decor item.
Before buying ready-made postcards in the store, try to make something with your own hands. The plasticine version can be made with the children. You will have a wonderful hand-painted souvenir in your hands.
To create a beautiful New Year's craft with a plasticine pattern, prepare:
- bright red cardboard;
- several pieces of plasticine different sizes and colors to complete the body of the ball itself and the tail, decor, bow, as well as the green Christmas tree branch on which this ball is attached;
- thin needle or stick.
It is the bright base in the form of thick cardboard that will set the character of the entire product. A beautiful ball on an expressive background will be favorably emphasized, will not get lost, but will sparkle with new colors, so take the most bright color from the set. To create a New Year's image in the form of a ball, knead a few pieces of plasticine in your hands.
Knead the selected color in the largest amount in your hands, make a round flat cake. Glue as the body of the Christmas ball on the cardboard. At the top, glue a small loop with which the ball is attached to a spruce branch (it can be made from plasticine of a different color).
Pull a piece of blue plasticine into a thin thread, make small peas from the white mass. All these details will be used to further decorate the ball. An interesting ornament is to be created.
Glue a path of two blue plasticine threads in the center across the body of the ball. Between them, place white balls in a row.
Every small dot white color, pierce the tip of a needle or stick to make an interesting visual effect.
Prepare an additional yellow sausage by pressing the segments with your fingers at equal distances from each other, make a zigzag. Glue 2 zigzag strips at the top and bottom. Between the corners, also glue the white balls that are left over from the previous operation.
A beautiful bright yellow bow will also fit perfectly into the overall ensemble. Make a decoration with loops and ponytails, glue the ball itself to the loop.
It is advisable to arrange a large central pattern so that there is still room for a spruce branch at the top. The ball should be suspended from it. Make an oblong green flatbread.
Glue at the top of the picture, adjacent to the top loop. Make needles on the Christmas tree using the same thin stick. Now the product looks really like a living, voluminous application.
After the lesson, you will see that making New Year's gifts with your own hands is much more interesting than just going around the shops in search of ready-made products. And the kids will definitely love this.
New Year's card in scrapbooking technique
You will get an elegant and unusual craft if you buy designer paper and use it for needlework. Today on sale you can find all kinds of materials for creativity: foil, paper in the form of a leather texture, sheets with colored ornaments and much more. And you also need to be prepared for the fact that when creating it, you can use not only paper, but also other materials, for example, ribbons, rhinestones, bright floss threads, chains, and so on.
A simple version of a scrapbooking postcard is presented in this tutorial. What is needed to complete it? This is a limited list, but you can easily expand it.
To create a New Year's card, the following materials are suitable:
- designer cardboard, the texture of which resembles green leather;
- design paper of three types with different patterns;
- cardboard with a shiny foil coating;
- rhinestones of different sizes, but the same color and shape;
- thin green satin ribbon;
- Velcro sticker with New Year's inscription;
- small pebble for a bow.
Paper Tools:
- ruler;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- glue.
Plain colored paper or cardboard will also work, but foil and leather-like sheets look very interesting. From the prepared sheets, you need to cut 2 layers of a rectangular shape, and then put them together. Glue the rectangles on top of each other.
Make the foil the bottom layer, the green skin the top. Using a ruler and pencil, draw sketches of rectangles on the sheets, then cut them out along the contour. It is necessary to make sure that the silvery part peeks out from under the green textured one. The size of the rectangle of the bottom layer needs to be made a little larger (with runs on the sides of about 0.5 cm).
Glue the flags on the top green paper. These decor items are often used to decorate halls, houses, shops, apartments, etc. new year holidays. Cut out 3 flags different lengths from colored design paper with a pattern. Stick the parts hardly, their length will gradually decrease.
Cut a strip from a thin green ribbon of satin texture, the length of which, with small starts, is equal to the width of the upper green rectangle. In the upper part (where the flags are located), glue a smooth satin line. Bring the ends back, after dripping with glue.
In order not to write the inscription "Happy New Year!" on your own, buy a sheet of themed stickers. Take a suitable Velcro sticker and add to the free space. Glue a bow with a pebble to the ribbon.
And the last sparkling touch - rhinestones. If they gradually decrease in size, then in general the craft will look stylish.
If creative inspiration strikes you, then you can easily make beautiful gift anyone close to the New Year. The main thing is to choose materials that will look elegant on their own.

With a plasticine snowflake
An interesting handmade postcard will become unusual craft filled with positive energy. Unique products are a gift for any occasion. But still I want to stick to the given topic. For example, if we are talking about the New Year, then it is better to depict some kind of winter ornament or figures suitable for the holiday.
In this master class, a variation of the New Year's card from plasticine with the image of a snowflake is shown. And this snowflake does not have to be white, as we are used to. If we make it green, then it will look very much like a Christmas tree - the central object of a fabulous winter holiday.
Are you interested in this craft? Do you want to repeat this New Year's craft with a plasticine snowflake with your children? This tutorial is here to help everyone. The central object of the application - a snowflake - can be made separately if you wish.
Materials needed for winter creativity:
- canvas-cardboard;
- mass for drawing a picture - plasticine;
- decoration - rhinestones;
- a tool for drawing relief lines - a stack or a toothpick.
Since we planned to create a green snowflake - the central element of the card, we need to choose some kind of bright background that blends beautifully with this color. For example, red cardboard is suitable. It just needs to be cut off from a large sheet.
You can also use scrapbook paper with a monotonous, unobtrusive pattern, a white base, or your own hand-painted paper. A green snowflake must be supplemented with some other color, for example, white, in order to create a pattern on the figure.
Soften the green plasticine in your hands, press down on top. You can immediately press the mass with your palm to the surface in the central part. Now the resulting cake needs to be turned into a snowflake.
First, carefully cut out the star with 6 rays. Draw a sketch with the tip of a toothpick to get a smooth and beautiful result. Then cut off all unnecessary along the indicated line, pressing harder.
Using the same tool or stack, make the rays of the snowflake sharper, more carved. Press the plasticine in the right places in the same way.
Make it thin white pattern on the surface of the green blank. Glue a white thin thread along each ray, place the petals in the form of a flower in the center.
Glue a sparkling crystal in the middle, press it tightly into the plasticine. Press down on each petal with a toothpick.
Decorate the rays with small grains, pushing each with a point.
Now write a congratulatory phrase "Happy New Year!". Since the image on the cardboard is plasticine, it is better to make the inscription from thin threads bright color.
Add a glowing effect by distributing small green segments between the rays.
Postcard "Happy New Year!" ready, it turned out bright and thematic.
In winter, when there is frost and a snowstorm outside the window, you want warmth and comfort. Everything should be warm and cozy at this time of the year, including New Year's crafts. Don't believe? Then we offer you the idea of creating a beautiful New Year's card with a decor in the form of a mitten, which will undoubtedly cheer up those who receive it during the holidays.
To make this “cozy” masterpiece, you need: colored cardboard and colored paper, multi-colored cardboard (you can also use bright paper for gift wrapping instead), bright threads, glue, scissors and a hole punch.
The first step is the foundation. For her, we will use a sheet of white thick cardboard, folded in half. The interior decoration (the so-called "wishes box") is two rectangles of colored paper, slightly smaller than the postcard itself.
We carefully glue them inside the product. On the outer front side, glue a rectangle of cardboard of the same size and shade.
On the reverse side of multi-colored cardboard (or gift wrapping paper) we draw a mitten of the appropriate shape.
We seal its upper edge from the “wrong side” with a strip of cardboard and make a series of holes in it with a hole punch.
To decorate the mittens, we will use threads. First you need to connect the threads from different coils into one and cut into strips of 12-15 cm.
To attach the threads to the mitten, fold the strip in half, thread it through the hole and make a loop. So we decorate all the holes of the mittens.
Lubricate the back of the mittens with glue ( Special attention we give to the part where the threads are threaded) and glue it to the front part.
A beautiful postcard with a decor in the form of a mitten is ready. Warmth and comfort in winter days!
New Year's cards have already gone digital for many. They are sent via email or smartphones. But paper version still retains its unique charm. If you want to surprise the recipient doubly, then a paper postcard, like new year gift, it is preferable to do it yourself.
