DIY Christmas cards made with love are a wonderful sign of attention, so today the editorial staff of the caring homemaster.techinfus.com/en/ offers assistance in making such a gift.

We expand our horizons and learn interesting DIY techniques for making Happy New Year cards

An important point that should be clarified right away: it will be quite problematic to make some New Year cards with a child, especially if the baby's age is very small. It all depends on the technique chosen: scrapbooking remains a difficult style even for some adults, and it is also quite expensive - do not buy into words that it is cheap. The origami technique is available to everyone who has the patience, quilling will appeal to people who like to spend time doing small manual labor, but fingerprints and handprints are easy to entrust to younger family members.

Postcards "Happy New Year!" and "Merry Christmas!" in a magical style called scrapbooking

When you want to make a New Year's postcard with your own hands, which will amaze the recipient with its uniqueness and beauty, then we devote time to studying the scrapbooking style, or rather cardmaking (from the English cardmaking, making postcards).

Who is not familiar with this technique, it's time to be surprised and think about it for the holiday. Scrapbooking ideas are countless!

The process of making a postcard in the style of scrapbooking for the New Year will take not only time, but also many resources.

Curly scissors of various types help to make the edges of the paper embossed

Curly hole punches cost 250-4000 rubles, depending on the expected pattern and its size. There are also very tiny ones that cost 100-150 rubles. For winter cards, they are purchased with the shape of snowflakes

Elements for decoration are bought separately or, if possible, are made independently

Frequent decor is various lace. There are a lot of different laces on sale, differing from each other in shape, color, pattern, thickness, texture

The manufacturing process begins with the collection and preparation of all materials and working tools

For work, you may need a sewing machine, good glue, liquid pearls, half beads, beads, beads, wooden elements, beautiful buttons, lace, scissors, glitter (sequins), silicone printing, a thermal gun and, if desired, much more.

It is not necessary to try to create something complex at once, just a few sheets of special paper, ribbons and some kind of decoration

First, fold a sheet of watercolor paper in half as a base, or scrap paper. The selected decorative sheets are attached to the base using glue and then a sewing machine. Before gluing decorative items, they are positioned, choosing the best compositional solution. The decor is best applied with hot glue.

Origami for New Year's greetings

Origami technique is subject to both adults and children. Let's try to make a simple postcard decorated in the form of a volumetric paper Christmas tree. For work, you need a sheet of white cardboard, red colored paper, paper for the Christmas tree and whatever you want for decoration. In the process, we use a simple pencil, ruler and glue.

Illustration	Action Description
	Cut 5 squares from paper with sides of 7 cm, 8 cm, 9cm, 10 cm and 11 cm.
	We bend the first leaf in half, now we need to bend the corner to the middle.
	It should look like the photo.
	We carry out the same manipulation with the second corner.
	The result is one element. We repeat each action with the remaining squares.
	If you need a sturdy postcard, then glue the red paper onto white cardboard; if this is not necessary, or you immediately used colored cardboard instead of paper, then simply bend the sheet in half. In the middle of the front side, in order, starting with the largest element, we glue parts of the future tree.

Inside, the postcard is decorated at will with stickers, small snowflakes, an insert with a congratulatory inscription.

Quilling - graceful paper filigree

Quilling got its name from the English word "quill" - "bird feather". Previously, paper strips were wrapped around the skeleton of a bird's feather and received the finest patterns. The technique is not difficult to master, it is not an expensive hobby, therefore it is perfect for decorating a postcard.

In this technique, some element is made out, for example, a snowflake.

The patterns consist of triangles, drops, circles. It all depends on your own imagination or a ready-made scheme

The strips can be purchased at Handmade stores or cut yourself from double-sided fairly thick colored paper.

For twisting, use a toothpick or thin awl. The edge of the strip is fixed with PVA glue. If you bend the strip, we get a triangular shape, or a drop

The pattern is delicate and graceful. It can be easily decorated with sequins or beads thanks to PVA glue

Children can also cope with the simplest quilling patterns. In addition, it perfectly develops the fine motor skills of children's hands!

Postcards from prints of children's hands and fingers

What will look cute and original is the memorable fingerprints or handprints on a Christmas card.For crafts, you need colored cardboard, brushes and gouache.

Prints are applied to the base. The prints themselves can already be supplemented with strokes and lines to get a drawing

The finger is smeared with gouache and leaves an imprint on paper or cardboard

So it is not difficult to create the basis of the drawing, which can be completed with a felt-tip pen

	Each strip is folded like a fan.
	The resulting accordion is folded in half.
	You need to glue the halves together.
	If you unfold the product, you get a fan.
	At this stage, the inscription and outdoor decor are glued.
	Thin strips are cut from white paper and snowflakes are collected.
	Each fan is glued in turn, starting from the bottom.
	Finally, snowflakes are glued around the tree.

Ribbon tree

We offer the child one long green satin ribbon, cardboard, buttons or sequins, a thermo gun with glue and scissors.

The task is to make a loop by gluing the tip of the tape to the top of the future tree. Hot glue is dripped into the middle of the loop, firmly attaching the tape to the paper, and again making a loop from the other edge. So, alternating the loops with glue, they reach the base of the Christmas tree. The tape needs to be cut and glued. At the end of the work, the spruce trunk is decorated with decor

Volumetric snowman

For work, we prepare a cardboard base, white thick paper, a compass, a simple pencil, scissors, glue, double-sided tape and a small piece of foam from a container in which food products are sold (from minced meat, chicken, vegetables).

The basis for the postcard is chosen according to your taste and wishes, the main thing is that it does not merge with the snowman, who will be the main character. On white paper, draw three circles in descending order with a compass and cut them out. The edges of the circles, if desired, can be painted over with paints or circled with a felt-tip pen. A carrot and eyes are drawn on the smaller circle. Snowman twigs are cut out of black paper separately.

Now three small squares need to be cut out of plastic, which would not be visible from under the parts of the snowman. A piece of double-sided tape is glued to each square on both sides of the plane.

On a completely finished base, tearing off the protective film of adhesive tape, stick the plastic in the place where the largest central part of the snowman should be. The largest white circle is glued on top. In its center, you need to stick the next square, then a circle, and repeat the procedure with a smaller square and a circle

It turns out a voluminous cute snowman!
