Even a modest souvenir, accompanied by a beautiful handmade postcard, will be a great gift. Such a postcard will not only convey warm wishes, but also become an excellent decor for your home. Here's how to make adorable Christmas cards easy and simple.
1. Almost knitted postcard
The leftover yarn for knitting can be put into action by making a DIY New Year card out of them. Cut a triangle out of cardboard that will become a Christmas tree, grease it liberally with glue and wrap it with colored threads. The more yarn colors you use, the better. Then glue the Christmas tree onto a regular postcard and decorate it if you want.
2. Contrast textile applique
Pieces of bright fabric will come in handy to create a postcard. Choose textiles that won't crumble. Cut out simple figures from fabric - trees, Christmas balls, animals - and glue them on a white card. A contrasting combination of colors looks most impressive.
3. Balls and ribbons
The use of ribbons in decor is a win-win solution for those who want to create a festive mood. Draw the outlines of a New Year's ball on paper or lay it out using glued beads, and at the top place a bow tied from a narrow ribbon. The presence of volumetric elements makes this decorative postcard very original.
4. Herringbone with voluminous branches
Roll thin tubes out of multi-colored paper. Grease one of the edges with glue so that it does not unfold. Then glue the straws of different lengths onto the card. The card with a voluminous herringbone is ready.
5. Laconic stripes
Fans of minimalism will appreciate the restrained but effective postcard, where Christmas tree branches are made of strips of paper. The only decoration of such a postcard is a decorative seam on the paper branches and a frame around the edges of its front part.
6. Fragrant message
A card that not only looks great but smells good is a really nice surprise. Use cinnamon or vanilla sticks as a basis for a decorative composition, surrounding them with New Year's tinsel, beads, pictures.
7. Winter lace
White lace becomes snow-covered Christmas-tree branches, and sequins glued to it become New Year's balls. For the background, use paper of any pastel shade or textured fabric, such as burlap.
8. Simple drawing
Even a simple drawing on a New Year's card can look impressive. To make the postcard look noble, pay special attention to the accuracy of its application. We also recommend using rough craft paper or snow-white glossy paper.
9. Sewing on paper
An easy way to make a postcard three-dimensional is to sew on any paper shape with one central seam and fold back its edges. You can also use several figures of the same shape, stitching them with a common seam, and sticking one of them as a background. Then the image will be even more voluminous.
10.With quilling elements
Quilling is the art of creating decorative compositions from strips of paper. It will not be possible to fully master it a couple of days before the New Year, but it is quite possible to apply certain techniques in the decor of the postcard. The circles of twisted narrow strips of paper become Christmas balls, and the Christmas tree is the green curved line drawn on the card.
11. Combination of several different textures
Another easy way to diversify a familiar applique is to use materials with a different texture for it. For example, knitted fabric, cardboard, plain tissue paper. Then, despite the simple shape of the elements, the postcard will look non-trivial.
12. Eye-catching contrasts
It is not at all necessary to use white paper as the base of the postcard, and make the applique bright. Do the opposite, and the decorative composition will sparkle with new colors.
13. Whether an inscription, or a drawing
For lettering and drawing, choose a paint that contrasts with the paper base. The more intricate and decorative the inscription is, the better. Don't forget to surround it with small, simple drawings.
14. Cute landscape
A simple landscape applique will be a real decoration for a New Year's card. Complement it with voluminous elements - cotton wool imitating snow, beads, sequins, and even chains. This DIY New Year card looks very cozy.
15. Elegant brutality
On thick, saturated paper, make holes along the outline of the triangle. Pull the threads between them in a chaotic order. Do not make too many stitches - our New Year's card is valuable for its laconicism.
16. Maximum gloss
Draw a Christmas tree on paper and grease it liberally with silicone glue. Then add sparkles and beads. After drying, a thick thread can be glued along the contour. This DIY New Year card will sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow.
17. Paper snowmen
The basis for the snowman card is white paper rolled several times. Lightly grease it with glue to keep the snowman in shape. From the remnants of the fabric, make a hat and a scarf for the snowman, draw his face.
18. Second life of old buttons
In every house there are many buttons that are no longer needed, but it is a pity to throw them away. Buttons will come in handy on the eve of the New Year holidays. Glued onto a postcard, they become Christmas balls. Complete the composition with a simple caption. Do-it-yourself New Year card is ready.

The more parents work on the selection of beautiful materials and the choice of interesting technologies, the more interesting and original both the process and the result of children's creativity will turn out.
Volumetric New Year's for children
Modern materials for arts and crafts and children's crafts make it possible to create very beautiful and spectacular postcards even in the form of flat items, but souvenirs with volumetric details look especially unusual. You can do such a thing with the following methods:
- applique with embossed decor;
- in the quilling technique;
- with origami elements;
- in technology and kirigami.
Such voluminous postcards are beautiful even when they are made of an ordinary sheet of white paper, and if you use decorative sheets, then homemade souvenirs will not only be no worse than purchased ones, they will turn out to be just fabulous gifts, especially when they are made by children on their own.
Tools and materials
If you are going to make Christmas cards with the hands of children in kindergarten or at home, prepare the following:
- cardboard, paper (white, colored, textured, metallized with a pattern, embossing and other effects);
- pencil;
- eraser;
- ruler and others (compasses, stencils);

In fact, nothing complicated and expensive is required. The main thing is imagination, patience and a desire to do something especially beautiful.
Christmas trees-accordions
Such blanks can easily be completed by a child on his own, especially if a diagram is printed or drawn on paper, that is, the lines along which folds should be made. Do-it-yourself New Year's cards like these can be made quickly. To complete the herringbone in the first way, work according to the following scheme.
- Take a sheet of green paper and mark it with equal-spaced guides.
- Fold the workpiece into an accordion.
- Glue one side of the resulting part so that you get a triangle shape.
There is also a second way.
- Cut a triangular blank out of green paper.
- Make markings at equal or different distances.
- Perform folds.
- The resulting harmonica herringbone can be strung on a wire, decorated with a string, a rod or a beautiful stick.
Now move on to assembling the postcard.
- Take a sheet of colored cardboard and fold it in half.
- Glue a Christmas tree created in your favorite way on the front side of the resulting postcard blank.
- Decorate the green beauty with beads, beads, sequins, thin tinsel.
- Decorate the background with artificial snow, cotton wool, white balls and glue snowflakes or circles made with a hole punch that simulate a falling snowball.
The postcard is ready.
Three-dimensional herringbone accordion
Simple but beautiful DIY New Year cards with your children can be made using the same accordions, only in this case, take not one blank, but several.
The herringbone will form inside the folded card. The product is made as follows.
- Prepare strips of green paper (according to the number of tiers of the tree).
- Make stripes.
- Make folds on all blanks.
- Glue the accordions, folded in half, in tiers inside the card. Thus, when opening, the Christmas tree will unfold, becoming voluminous. By the same principle, you can make a base for it (preferably from white paper). It will be a great imitation of snow.
Volumetric applique
In this way, it is easy to make a variety of Christmas cards with children with your own hands. As the main element, you can again take a Christmas tree (the simplest one), a snowman, or a whole plot picture of a winter theme. Consider a tree example.
Follow the steps below to create the base.
- Take a rectangular sheet of colored double-sided paper and fold it in half.
- Cut a hole in the front to a suitable shape, such as rectangular. You will get a frame. Choose the proportions yourself.
- The tree will stick to the right side of the postcard spread, that is, it will look out of the window.
- You can twist the elements of the Christmas tree using the quilling technique or make from strips of corrugated paper.
To work in the first way, you need to perform a few simple manipulations.
- Cut the green paper into strips about 5mm wide and twist the pieces out of them using a toothpick, knitting needle, or a special tool.
- Removing the element from the axis, form the desired configuration and glue the edge of the strip with the base and the layers together.
- Compose the image of a Christmas tree from the created parts.
To use the second method, work according to the following scheme.
- Cut the corrugated paper into wide strips (1.5 - 2cm).
- Fold the strips accordion-like and make cuts on one side.
- Unfold the blanks and roll up dense rolls from the resulting tapes. Glue the outermost layer to the previous one.
- Fluff up the incisions.
- Glue the made elements in the form of a Christmas tree silhouette.
5. Now decorate the Christmas tree itself, the background and the frame on the front side.
6. Sign the postcard, and on the front side glue the inscription "Happy New Year!"
Origami
This technology allows you to make a DIY New Year card with your child with little or no glue, just cutting and folding the paper. It's better to use a template here.
The work is carried out in a strictly defined sequence.
Kirigami
The brightest and most joyful holidays, of course, are New Years. A do-it-yourself card (we do it with children or completely trust the process to the kids) will be a nice gift for the New Year, and for Christmas, and for the Baptism of the Lord.
The kirigami technique is very interesting. In fact, in this case, the technique of silhouette cutting from the plane of the postcard is used, and then, by bending the sheet, the picture will become three-dimensional.
In addition to simple drawings in the form of trees, Christmas balls and snowmen, which are easy to make yourself, you can download very complex but amazing templates for New Year cards on the Internet. With your own hands for children, you can easily prepare a diagram. You can cut out complex elements, and entrust the child with folding or cutting out large parts.
Postcard with a volumetric Christmas tree
The design of such a postcard is similar to the version with a herringbone accordion that appears when opening a souvenir, only the manufacturing process will take less time. The volumetric Christmas tree that will appear inside the card when opened is formed not from horizontal tier elements, but from vertical Christmas trees.
A similar thing is done according to the following scheme.
- Prepare the base sheet by folding it in half.
- Draw a pattern for half a tree or print a finished one. On a sheet folded in half, circle the outline of the tree halves and cut out.
- Expand the workpiece. This is a neat, symmetrical shape.
- The resulting parts need to be made several of the same. Minimum - 3, but more is better, then the drop-down structure will be more voluminous and effective. It is enough to circle the scheme on one sheet, and the rest can be simply folded in a pile and fastened together or executed in the form of half-trees on sheets already folded in half.
- Cut out the required number of blanks for the silhouettes of the Christmas trees.
- If Christmas trees were made without fold lines, then now they need to be glued along the central axis. Glue the blanks sequentially so that the right side of the first tree is aligned with the left side of the second, etc.
- When all the details are connected in a three-dimensional herringbone, it will be enough to glue the left side of the free edge to the left of the postcard, and the right to the right inner side of the postcard;
- The process of decorating both the Christmas tree itself and the space around it can be carried out in any way with all available materials.
As you can see, you can make voluminous New Year cards with children with your own hands in different ways. Choose the idea you like. Create original gifts and stimulate your little ones to develop creativity and other useful qualities.
A beautiful volumetric New Year card with a Christmas tree is easy to make at home with your own hands. This card will appeal to both children and adults. And most importantly, making a New Year's card is a creative and interesting activity. You will need for Christmas crafts:

How to make a voluminous postcard with a Christmas tree
This Christmas card with a Christmas tree is made using the kirigami technique.
Download the template first. You will need to cut a herringbone along it. Transfer the template to colored paper. You can take green, gold, velvet or whatever else you have.
Cut carefully with a clerical knife (children can do this with nail scissors) along the solid lines. The dotted line is the fold lines, you do not need to cut them.
Now make the folds along the dotted line. You need to push the Christmas tree with a slide, and fold the main part with a postcard. You should get a voluminous Christmas tree.
The second part of the template is the background. It can be cut from other paper - contrasting. The cut finished tree will be glued to it.
The folded volumetric tree must be glued to the substrate. You can also decorate the tree with sparkles, sequins, or paint with glitter paints. Once the blank is glued, you need to put the postcard under the press (or place several thick books on it). But make sure that the glue does not flow out from under the tree, so that the card opens normally.
It is better to write congratulations on such an interesting New Year card on the front side.
Here are a few more herringbone card templates:
