Original card “snowflakes in a frame”
The master class on making a simple postcard discussed below is ideal for working together on crafts from parents and children. That is why we recommend using this instruction to create easy and stylish New Year crafts and gifts with preschoolers and schoolchildren. The direct manufacture of such a card is as follows:
A rectangle is cut out of the blue or blue cardboard (base of the postcard).A rectangle of the same size is cut out of white cardboard.
On a white rectangle, you need to make a small indent inward on each side for 1-2 cm. The resulting small rectangle needs to be cut out. Thus, a kind of frame will be made.
From white paper to cut many different-sized snowflakes. Glue these snowflakes on a blue / blue cardboard. Glue the previously made frame over the snowflakes.
Layered postcards
The easiest option for making a multi-layer postcard will be to use a kit for scrapbooking and double-sided tape. The work is carried out as follows:
A small circle is cut out on white cardboard. At the bottom, a golden or bronze stand is glued to it. This element will act as a snow globe.
From color cardboard and a transparent strong film, circles with a radius greater than 1 cm are cut out than a circle in white cardboard. The film circle is glued from the back to white cardboard.
The decor from the set for scrapbooking and sequins is glued to the circle of colored cardboard.
Pieces of double-sided tape are glued around the perimeter of the film circle.
A circle with decor is glued to a postcard on previously prepared double-sided tape.
Another simple multi-layer postcard can be made in the following master class:
On three identical "pages" of postcard, different motifs are drawn on the theme of a snowy forest.
"Extra" details are cut from prepared pages.
The fourth page (of the same size) is painted with blue and blue paint, complemented by shiny sequins (stickers) in the form of stars.
And white paper is cut into two parts with a width of 12 cm and a height equal to the height of the previously prepared pages.
Every 1.5 cm, a vertical line is drawn on the prepared paper elements and a bend is made (forward and backward, alternating). Thus, side accordions are made.
Prepared central sheets of postcards are glued between harmonica, creating the effect of multilayer postcards.
Silhouette appliqués
To create a beautiful silhouette card, it is recommended to use New Year's pucks. Just by printing such patterns, you can easily make a large number of patterns to create a variety of crafts. But you can also make a silhouette Christmas card with your own hands and from scratch:
Draw on a white sheet of paper the outline of a New Year's character or object (Christmas tree decorations, Santa Claus, bullfinch, snowman).
Cut the drawn silhouette and stick it on a sheet of blue, blue or gray cardboard. Supplement the picture with other elements (snowflakes, Christmas trees). They are cut in a similar pattern.
If desired, you can make such a card a thin frame of white paper. This frame can be located both around the perimeter of the sheet (or half the sheet) of the cardboard, and can be placed right around the silhouette picture.
Commemorative postcard from a child
Making a funny memorable postcard for the New Year with your child is both easy and simple. Below we examined simple workshops with fingerprints that will help you make very beautiful and funny crafts. As a basis, we recommend using white cardboard (a whole sheet or folded in half).

For example, on the sheets of lasagna, you can draw a very beautiful stained glass image together with the children. To work, you need the sheet itself, felt-tip pens, a ruler. Making crafts is carried out according to this scheme:
On the lasagna sheet with black felt-tip pen, thematic images are drawn (Christmas tree, house, snowman, bullfinch, pig).
Chaotic lines (as on stained glass) are drawn under the ruler over the main drawing. It is recommended not to make a large number of auxiliary lines, so that the main drawing is clearly visible.
Using colored markers with similar tones, the background is painted (for example, light yellow, orange, beige). The character himself in a similar pattern is painted in the appropriate colors. For the pig, you can choose pink and red felt-tip pens, for the Christmas tree - green, lettuce, emerald.
It takes about 1 day to dry the felt-tip pens on a lasagna sheet.

You can supplement the application with a Christmas tree trunk cut out of brown cardboard.In the upper part (as the top), you can glue a rhinestone, half bead, button.
A stylish card with a striped Christmas tree can also be made from stripes from colorful magazines, cuts from musical notes or foreign newspapers.
Snow Covered Glitter Cards
Making a snow card for delivery as a gift will not be difficult for either a teenager or a child. But to work with sparkles, you need to consider the need to use a transparent universal glue with a dense texture. As a basis for crafts, you can use an old postcard or draw a thematic drawing.

The following master class will help you easily make original crafts from such materials:
Apply glue around the perimeter of the card and sprinkle it with white, silver sparkles.
In the lower part and lower corners of the postcard, apply glue in a larger amount (creating a snowy effect) and sprinkle with sparkles and shiny hexagons in the same way.
Separately glue on top, bottom (next to the shiny frame) sequins-stars.
Allow the glue to dry for 1 day.
Volume cards
Unusual voluminous postcards are great for congratulating relatives and friends. Your child can give such a craft as a gift to his friend, class teacher or kindergarten teacher. There are many ways to create voluminous crafts. They can be made of cardboard and paper, cotton balls, pompons and other available materials and elements. At the same time, voluminous details can be located not only on the front of the card, but also in the middle of the congratulatory “book”. Therefore, before starting work, it is recommended to study all available options, their level of complexity and the required materials.Some of the following workshops are only suitable for adults or adolescents, but most of them, even toddlers, can repeat with their parents.
Origami Cards
You can make a simple and original postcard for the New Year in the origami technique using our next master class. For work, we recommend using designer paper with New Year's patterns. The work itself is carried out in stages according to the following instructions:
3 squares with side sizes of 10, 15 and 20 cm are cut out of paper.
The smallest square is folded into a triangle one at a time, and then along the second diagonal (the color side remains visible).
An unfolded triangle with visible folds turns one side down. Between the upper and lower parts of the diagonals on the left, the paper is folded down. Similar work is done for the right side. The square returns to its original position (leveled).
The square is folded so that the folds of the diagonals protrude on the left and right, and the horizontal folds between them are “recessed”. It will result in an isosceles triangle.
Grasping the right diagonal (one!), You need to turn it to the center line of an equilateral triangle and iron it. Repeat for the left diagonal.
According to a similar scheme, add the remaining squares. Glue them to a sheet of cardboard, from smaller to larger, forming a herringbone and carefully entering the lower modules into the upper ones.
Volume application of Santa Claus
You can decorate the New Year card with any themed characters. To create an original craft together with the children, we recommend choosing Santa Claus. This character is loved by all kids. For the manufacture of postcards you will need a sheet of cardboard, colored paper, cotton wool, PVA glue, scissors, a pencil. The work is carried out as follows:
From red, white, pink paper, details are cut out for gluing the appliqué (suit, face, shoes). The application is glued on cardboard.
Balls are made of cotton for gluing “fluffy” elements: beards, fur on a hat and a suit.
Using PVA glue, cotton balls are glued to the prepared base.
In addition, glued toy eyes can be glued. They will give the figure more realism.
Volumetric Christmas trees
Making a step-by-step cool postcard with a three-dimensional Christmas tree is as easy as shelling pears. For work you need cardboard (2 sheets), a pencil, PVA glue, scissors, 2-3 types of green paper. It’s easy and simple to make such a craft in the following master class:
Draw a symmetrical Christmas tree on one sheet of cardboard.
Cut the Christmas tree out of cardboard and transfer it to green paper of different colors (use the blank as a stencil). It is advisable to make 4-5 of such Christmas trees.
Cut paper Christmas trees. Fold each of them vertically in half (the colored part of the paper should be inside).
Glue the Christmas trees folded in half between each other, alternating paper of different types. That is, glue half of one folded Christmas tree on the other and repeat the same work for the remaining blanks. As a result, only half of the side fir trees should remain free.
After the workpiece dries, glue the side halves of the Christmas trees with glue and stick the finished figure to the card. If desired, you can decorate it with rhinestones.
Volumetric figures
From ordinary paper, you can make not only voluminous Christmas trees, but also other themed Christmas figures. For example, using blue, yellow and black cardboard, white paper, you can make this card with a volume snowman yourself:
From white paper cut a large circle. Fold it 5-6 times.
The edges of a folded circle are cut off figuratively (you can by analogy with cutting curly edges for paper snowflakes). Unfold the workpiece and iron the resulting accordion ribs well to form a beautiful volume circle.
Glue the circle to the blue cardboard.From a black cardboard cut a small cylinder and eyes, stick a snowman.
From yellow cardboard, make a strip on the cylinder and carrot-nose. Glue them to a figure.
By analogy with the master class on manufacturing volumetric Christmas trees, you can also make volumetric balls:
From multi-colored paper, cut 9 identical circles, fold each of them in half.
Glue together the halves of the folded balls (from 9 blanks make 3 separate balls).
After drying the bulk blanks, stick them to the cardboard, make a congratulatory inscription on the card. If desired, you can make not 3 identical, but three different balls or one large volume ball.
3D effect inside the card
Using colored thick and plain white paper, you can make a cool three-dimensional postcard for the New Year in two counts. With the following simple workshops, you will learn how to collect such crafts with a Christmas tree and gifts.
On a white sheet, mark the vertical middle. From the back, it must be carefully drawn with scissors.
Regarding the marked line on the front side of the sheet, draw a Christmas tree (or a stack of gifts) with the same left and right sides.
Make cuts in the figure along the distinguished horizontal lines. For the Christmas tree, this will be the transition between tiers (+ the bottom of the tree itself), for gifts - the line between 1 and 2, 2 and 3 gifts (+ the bottom of the last gift).
Bend the Christmas tree (gifts) to yourself, according to the vertical line previously marked with scissors. The sheet of paper itself will fold in a protruding pattern inward.
Fold thick colored paper in half vertically.
Glue white paper to color, observing the coincidence of their central vertical lines. Thus, when opening cards, the Christmas tree or gifts protruding forward will be displayed and become voluminous.
Postcards from felt
An unusual and very "cozy" postcard in honor of the New Year holiday can be made using felt.For work, it is recommended to purchase a hard cloth with a thickness of about 2 mm. Bonding parts from felt should be on a transparent universal glue (thick). Conventional PVA will quickly absorb into the fabric and the parts simply will not stick. It also requires a washable or disappearing fabric marker. The work itself is carried out as follows:
On felt of different colors, draw the details of the house: roof, walls, door, window. Additionally, draw small snowdrifts on white felt (they will be located to the left and right of the house).
Glue the walls to the cardboard base first, then the roof and other elements of the figure.

Cut cardboard or paper along the contour of the created picture.
Fold out the figured postcard and draw the “missing” half from its back.
To create another type of figured postcards (not with halves, but with the front and front), you also need to fold the base in half, but place the fold on top. Draw an object, the character should be as close as possible to the fold and cut so that the front and back of the craft remain connected. Next, you need to draw the back of the card, and glue some decor on the top of the front part that partially covers the fold: for the snowman, a small cylinder, Santa Claus - a hat with a pompom, Christmas ball - a shiny "hat" for hanging on a Christmas tree.
