In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editorial website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make a thing for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.

Below we have collected ideas for beautiful, original and, most importantly, “quick” New Year cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around the house.

Volumetric Christmas trees

Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.

Make 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows how to cut them.

Penguin

We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardboard (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes that we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look into the hobby store for them (or tear them off an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).

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. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we advise you to look at this blog.

Santa Claus

A friendly Santa Claus (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper pasted onto a card or gift bag. Fur hats and beards are obtained as follows: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven edges. Stick on a postcard over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

simple drawings

Irresistible in its elegance, the idea is to draw Christmas balls with patterns with a black gel pen. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else will not be difficult - the stripes and squiggles that you draw when you are bored.

The same principle that underlies the postcard with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - this is best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very nice.

Lots and lots of different trees

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

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

For this card, you need 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without red). As a color layer, you can use not cardboard, but paper. In the upper, white one, cut out the Christmas tree (a clerical knife will do well) and glue it on double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees from various remnants of cardboard, scrapbooking paper, wrapping paper is tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - there are an incredible number of options here, using different colors of ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of the New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch is within the power of everyone, even those who last painted with paints in their school years. First you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them in, and when it dries, gently wipe the pencil sketches and supplement the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, or you can get by with plain, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out spectacularly. Cut out the snow landscape and moon with sharp scissors and paste onto a black or navy blue background.

Another white and green variant of the winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, crafts were made from this at school), it will be great, if not, you can just paint the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - Styrofoam disassembled into peas. You can also make circles out of cardboard with a hole punch and glue them to the postcard.

hugging snowman

Snowmen, inquisitively peering into the starry sky, will look more advantageous if they can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For the postcard on the left you need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape with which you will stick the snowman. Snowdrifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with a finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second you will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.

You will want to keep such a postcard for a long time. And all you need is circles of cardboard, a nose and twigs of colored paper. All this must be collected using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balloons

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbons. But balls are such a win-win option that you can afford to fantasize here: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And the strings can simply be drawn.

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

Volume balls

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

colorful balls

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

Postcards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to postcards, as well as evoke subtle associations with childhood.

The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but otherwise it’s up to you to “hang” them on a Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls or on newspaper clouds.

Birthday is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. It is customary in every family to congratulate the birthday boy. A postcard is an obligatory addition to the gift. Of course, it can be purchased at any store. But it’s much nicer to give an accessory made by yourself. Moreover, in this case there are no restrictions for imagination. Any hero of the occasion will be happy with a hand-made postcard.

And you can make an original birthday card from improvised material with your own hands. By the way, you can also involve children in creating postcards, for them this activity will be not only exciting, but also very useful: the child will learn to show patience, perseverance, exercise his imagination and master working with scissors, glue, etc. This is a great activity for motor development.

Before you start creating a greeting card, think carefully about its theme and future decor. In this matter, it is important to whom the gift is intended and how old the birthday man is. In addition, it is worth considering other rules:

As for the materials used during work, the set may vary depending on what kind of postcard you want to make. Paper, scissors, glue are used as standard. You may also need fabric, napkins, etc. It all depends on your imagination and your capabilities.

How to make an elegant birthday card with your own hands

There are many types of such gifts. They are divided into paper, fabric, embroidered. You can create a gift of any complexity and size. The main thing is that in all respects it fits the person to whom it is intended.

Options for men

For representatives of the stronger half, you should not choose too colorful, it is better to use calm, even slightly muted shades. The same goes for the lines - do not make them "aggressive". And, of course, visually it should seem that a lot has been invested in the postcard, not only efforts, but also materials, time, etc.

The drawing must be universal. Many appreciate minimalism, so in this option it will be enough to use a ribbon and a paper sheet, as here:

The edges of the leaf deserve special attention. To make an inscription, it is enough to use a transparent tracing paper. And again, the conciseness that men like so much:

If you wish, you can use the template inscription, print it and feel free to use it.

This festive design is very bright. Although, if you look, there is nothing complicated in the postcard. To create, bright dots were used, which were randomly scattered across the sheet.

To create a three-dimensional product, you will have to master the scrapbooking technique. At the same time, during decoration, you can apply a wide variety of textures and any shade.

Origami greetings are always relevant.

Geometric shapes - well, isn't that masculine? For example, by adding stripes, you can give a certain severity, but at the same time it will look very elegant.

In this case, the strips do not have to be drawn, they can be glued.

For kids

To create a postcard with a child, it is better to use paper or cardboard. The materials are available, in case the baby spoils them, it will not be a pity to throw them away. In addition, any figure and shape can be easily made from cardboard and paper.

So, to make a beautiful children's postcard, you will need a cardboard sheet, paper (a sheet of white, yellow and green), scissors, glue. We will make beautiful field daisies.

A flower needs petals. They are easy to make from strips of white paper, the width of which is 1 cm. The edges of such strips are glued together to make a drop.

Yellow paper is needed for circles-middles of flowers. We cut out a few, 3 cm in diameter. Droplets need to be glued to such centers. Here's what it looks like.

Naturally, green paper is future stems. Cut out and start shaping flowers.

The place where the stems connect can be carefully hidden behind a beautiful bow.

There is another simple option with daisies. First you need to draw a place where the inscription will be placed. To do this, use paint or a felt-tip pen.

After that, cut out 4 daisies and paint over their centers. Prepare 3 green paper strips in advance (width 0.5 cm).

Form the arrangement of the stems and glue the stripes. Glue double-sided tape to the daisies from the inside, cut the stems so that they are not so long.

Glue the flowers to the stems. Make an inscription. Decorate with a bow. To give a complete image to a postcard, its edges are shaded or decorated with colored paper. And you can leave it like that - it still turned out beautifully!

For sister or friend

Making a postcard for a girl is much easier than for a boy, and there are much more ideas for such crafts. So, a girlfriend, for example, can be congratulated with the help of a curly postcard in the form of a crown. In this case, you can choose any template.

Postcards in the form of animals will be a wonderful congratulation. To do this, you can print a stencil, transfer it to cardboard and cut out the outline of the desired shape with a sharp clerical knife.

All kinds of inscriptions from individual letters created from different textures look original. Then they are collected into words or sentences.

A gift with hearts will please a friend. And the more there are, the better.

A great solution is rainbow buttons. Such a postcard is incredibly simple, but how original and beautiful!

Do you want to express your love to your friend? Give her a bouquet of hearts! Of course, not in the direct sense, but made of paper. To give originality to the gift, sew each heart in the center with a white thread.

The contrasting backing and a huge number of circles look stylish and concise at the same time! Ask where to get so many circles? It's very simple, look into the hole punch!

Mom or grandmother

You always want congratulations and gifts for these very dear women to be special and unforgettable.

On a note!

It is important to take into account all the details, even the smallest ones, to choose the right color scheme, to make the lines as smooth as possible, and the shades to be gentle.

The idea in which the dress is used is original - what could be more feminine? Making a gift doesn't have to be difficult. You will need an openwork napkin for cupcakes and glue.

A beautiful and original design can be easily achieved with a clerical knife by cutting the image directly into the cardboard.

Here is another interesting idea, for the implementation of which you will need two-color cardboard. On it with a pencil you need to apply an invented drawing. Thematic will be a cake or candles. After that, with a clerical knife, you need to squeeze the drawing along the lines. In order not to spoil the table, put a plank under the drawing.

That's all, you can leave it like that. And you can show a little more imagination and add a substrate for inscriptions. Asymmetrical edges are made with special scissors.

And in this version, some elements also need to be cut out.

How to make a cool voluminous postcard yourself?

There are a lot of ideas for postcards. To make an original congratulation, you can use ready-made templates, but it’s better to show your imagination and create something amazing and unique.

For example, a card with balloons. They are one of the invariable holiday attributes. Therefore, for a birthday card, they are best suited.

At the same time, the balls can be corrugated. The circles for such a postcard are easily cut out of the packaging cardboard, it is important to remove the top layer from it, under it you will find stiffening ribs.

And even better - a bunch of colorful balloons, perhaps they will take the birthday boy to his most secret dreams.

This idea is more complicated, but very beautiful.

Weird balls? Their basis is background images.

Bulk flowers can be used.

Butterflies are another original idea. These cards are soft and pretty.

Not traditional balloons, but airy hearts.

Pompoms that are easy to stick even for kids.

As you can see, there are really a lot of ideas for original and unique birthday cards. After spending a little time and showing your imagination, you can surprise the birthday boy with a cool gift that he will remember for a long time.

Sometimes in a handicraft impulse you want to do something beautiful with your own hands, but as luck would have it, nothing comes to mind, and so as not to suffer once again, I decided to collect a selection of examples of how to make a postcard with your own hands. Here are different examples of postcards and small descriptions of how to make this or that postcard.

• not too colorful;
• in a calm, slightly muffled range;
• with clean lines;
• in which a lot of visual effort has been invested.

I would like to say a special word about the last point. If your mom liked a postcard assembled from a piece of lace, a bow and a beautiful chipboard, then dad will appreciate a poster made from paper with an elegant, openwork cut - painstaking and elegant.

Men are delighted with the process, so before making a glorious scrapbooking card, think about how you can put your work into the card? It can be work with threads or embroidery, spirography and paper cutting, pyrography and much more.

Incorporate a few hard and loving elements into your work and your dad's birthday card will be great.

So, we make do-it-yourself paper postcards for your beloved dad. Start by choosing a subject - it can be some element of a male portrait - a stylish beard and glasses in the spirit of hipsters, or the silhouette of dad's favorite pipe, you can also make some kind of heraldic flag or symbol.

Choose colors - they should be calm and beautiful, and also look good in harmony with each other.

Make a pattern for a future postcard and get to work - if this is a regular application, then cut out all the elements and carefully lay out the future composition. And in the case of artistic cutting, it is better to devote time to pattern and drawing. By the way, for such work you will need a good breadboard knife.

After all the main elements are cut out, assemble the card - if you planned it using the scrapbooking technique, then you can simply glue the composition, and if you are trying to create a thin openwork product from cardboard and paper, then select shading colors for each layer - to work looked really openwork, you will need to choose shades that emphasize all the cuts.

Make a centerpiece on your postcard, and then put it under a press - this will help to avoid warping the paper from the moisture contained in the glue.

Perhaps you want to use more decorative elements, or you decide to make a simple handmade birthday card with 3D elements.

By the way, if you are thinking about how to make a postcard for your mother or girlfriend with voluminous paper elements, take a closer look at children's books. Surely you have preserved several copies, upon opening of which carriages and castles, trees and horses appeared between the pages.

If the kid needs to draw a happy birthday card, then the most favorite option is a cake with candles or balls in the paws of a favorite fairy-tale hero. For such holidays as the New Year, March 8, Easter, they draw a thematic picture - a Christmas tree and Santa Claus, a figure eight and spring flowers, Easter cakes and painted Easter eggs, respectively. Postcards, drawn by children with love, carry a charge of ingenuous positive and often decorate a chest of drawers in a grandmother's or mother's room.
