In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editors website believes 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. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.
Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows you how to cut them.
Penguin
We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardstock (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes, which we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, 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. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we recommend taking a look at this blog.
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 with 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 - 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
A couple more ideas from the Bog&ide blog. 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 on. 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.
A laconic and stylish idea is 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 - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored 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. 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 postcard, 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 - 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. Children will be interested in making an applique (and painting their hands and hat), but for those who want everything to be done quickly, the blog has ready-made parts that can be printed on a color printer and simply glued together.
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 stick 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.
No holiday is complete without buying postcards. Today on store shelves you can see a huge selection of memorable messages: classical, voluminous, musical, postcards - envelopes, and so on. But there is nothing nicer and more interesting to receive a handmade postcard as a gift, because when creating your own little masterpiece, a person puts his energy, feelings, and sincere wishes into it.
And what further emphasizes the uniqueness and value of such greeting booklets is that even the most experienced craftsman will not be able to produce two identical hand-made cards. There are a huge number of options for DIY postcards: from corrugated paper, felt, satin ribbons and, of course, from beads.
Today we will look at several types of beaded cards. Working with beads is a very exciting activity; it also develops fine motor skills in children, so you can create greeting cards from beads together with your children. Personally, I prefer large Czech beads; I order from this online bead store. Remember that the higher quality beads you use, the “more expensive” the finished product will look.
How to embroider a card with beads: step-by-step tutorial
The following will be useful for work:

Step-by-step description of the work:

This postcard can be made for any holiday.
I cut out rectangles about 24 by 15 from an old calendar. I folded them in half.
Acrylic brown (you can add yellow shades) I painted a tree trunk. Then the children did everything.
We place the basis for postcards in a candy box (to the beads did not fall apart) . In the place where the foliage will be, use a brush to apply thick PVA glue in islands. Sprinkle dark green on these places beads. For getting enough sleep beads It’s also good to use a box with a corner. Then we make new islands with glue and add light green beads. Leftovers beads collect and glue again. We do the same for land plots. We use 2 shades of brown beads. We are like that postcards Made for dads on February 23rd. From the old ones postcards children cut out inscriptions: "To my beloved dad", "From February 23", "Congratulations".
They also cut out boats and tanks. You can print the inscriptions on a computer, and so that the white sheet does not stand out, we age the inscription with tea leaves - it also turns out very interesting! All this was glued to the base - they turned out nice DIY postcards. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me.
The technique is very simple, and the children really liked the result, so we are planning to make such postcards for Victory Day for veterans.
Thank you for your attention!
Small gifts made with your own hands are always sweet and pleasant, because they are made individually for a specific person, they convey love, attention and a sincere attitude. Do-it-yourself cards for the New Year are especially good.
Since this is a magical holiday, the cards should look accordingly. Therefore, it is very good to use white beads on a contrasting background (in this case, green) to create crafts.
To work you will need:
A sheet of green cardboard;
White small beads (approximately 5-10g);
PVA glue;
Decorative stars;
Blue quilling paper;
Scissors;
Toothpick.
How to make a New Year's card with your own hands
We form a postcard from a sheet of green cardboard. 
Glue blue thin strips of paper vertically on both sides, retreating about 2 cm from the edge. 
We cut out the layout of the Christmas tree from paper at our discretion. We outline it along the contour. 
Apply a thick layer of PVA glue over the entire surface of the painted Christmas tree. Leave this layer of glue for about a minute so that it becomes thicker. 
Sprinkle beads over the entire adhesive surface. 
You can pour beads generously, since the remnants will still need to be shaken off. We wait for the beads to stick. Whatever doesn't stick, shake it off. Where necessary, add glue and add beads. Next, use a toothpick to carefully straighten the Christmas tree along the contours.
Give the tree a shaped shape. This is the most painstaking work in creating this card; you need to be patient and make a beautiful figure.
If the beads do not stick well, you can pour a little glue on top of the beads and spread it onto the desired beads with a toothpick.
When the Christmas tree is ready, you can move on to the decor. From a blue strip of quilling paper we make a decorative strip for an inscription, for which we twist the ends of a short piece of paper and paste the strip onto a card under the Christmas tree.
We glue decorative blue and silver stars onto vertical paper strips glued onto postcards.
Now we need to make curls for the corner of the card. To do this, you need to cut a toothpick and insert quilling paper into it. Twist the curl halfway through the ribbon, pull out the toothpick, and then twist the paper into a roll on the other side.
Make two such curl blanks, straighten them a little and insert them into each other. Press the base with your fingers. 
Glue the resulting curls to the upper left corner of the postcard. 
All! DIY Christmas tree beads postcard is ready! 
Have a nice and happy New Year celebrations!

A beaded greeting card is a wonderful holiday souvenir, especially if you make it yourself. The main thing is that you have all the necessary materials and some free time at hand. And then you will be able to congratulate each of your close friends, even if he is very far from you. And we will help you with this and in our master class we will tell you how to make a postcard from beads.
Tools and materials Time: 30 minutes Difficulty: 3/10
- base for making a postcard (or just a small piece of coated cardboard);
- beads;
- needle;
- threads to match the color of the beads (or fishing line);
- a simple pencil;
- ruler, pen.
Step-by-step master class
Materials you will need:
Step 1: draw a triangle
First, we need to draw a triangle in the central part of the future postcard. This is exactly what a simple pencil with a ruler will come in handy for.
Step 2: string beads
Then we fix the thread in the lower right corner of the Christmas tree and string beads on it.
The number of beads depends on the size of the Christmas tree. They should be enough to completely cover the side line of the triangle.
Step 3: embroider the Christmas tree
Then we send the needle to the lower left corner (we do this from the wrong side so that the thread does not catch the eye), and make exactly the same stitch.
We continue to move in this way, gradually reducing the number of beads for each row.
Gradually our Christmas tree is completely filled with beads.
All that remains is to remove the lines drawn with a simple pencil using an eraser. And attach a bright star to the top of the Christmas tree. To do this, you can use regular glue and a suitable sequin.
Your handmade beaded postcard is ready. Now you can carefully sign it using a beautiful pen. And it is better to decorate the reverse side (the wrong side) using velvet paper or regular colored paper so that the seam is not noticeable.
Now you know how to make a card from beads. Such an original message can be signed and sent to a friend by mail. Today, such a congratulation will be very exotic and unusual, since for the most part we are accustomed to using, if not personal meetings, then Internet correspondence for congratulations.
