Snowmen made from palms
No holiday is complete without greeting cards. A child should be taught to be creative from childhood. You can make this card with a child of any age, because in fact, the main task of your baby is a palm print. Let's get started.
- colored cardboard,
- paints,
- colored paper and glue,
- markers.
A sheet of cardboard needs to be bent in half, this will be our future postcard. Since paint spreads on cardboard, take a sheet of colored paper and glue it onto the cardboard. You need to put a child's handprint on a sheet of colored paper. To do this, we smear your child’s hand with white gouache and put an imprint on the sheet.
To make the print even, you need to paint on the unpainted areas with a brush.
When the paint has dried, we draw a snowman from each finger.
The front side of the card is ready, now let's work on the inside.
We draw snowflakes and a snowman with white paint and write a wish. That's all.

We lay out lace and braid on the colored part of the mitten. When we have determined the location, we stick them on. Then we glue the colored part of the mitten to the cardboard part. Here, if you decide to make a loop, then the ribbon needs to be inserted between the parts of the mitten.
Congratulations can be written on the back of the mitten. Or you can print it on a printer and glue it.
We chaotically glue sequins around the congratulations.

Summary: DIY New Year's cards. How to make original cards for the New Year with your child. New Year's crafts. Homemade New Year cards, postcard ideas. Volumetric cards for the New Year holidays. New Year's paper crafts with children. New Year's application.
1. DIY New Year cards (“Christmas tree”)
The New Year tree is an indispensable attribute of the holiday. Therefore, postcards with her image will be especially appropriate. Plus, these cards can be very easy to make.
The New Year's tree applique can be made from plain or multi-colored strips of paper. Even a small child can make this New Year's craft with his own hands.
Strips of paper can be replaced with colored tape or braid. They also make very beautiful New Year's cards.
A more complicated option is a New Year's card "Christmas tree" made from paper tubes. This original three-dimensional New Year's card "Christmas tree" is made of paper tubes. The Christmas tree is decorated with multi-colored buttons. Its trunk is made from a twig. To make this New Year's card, it is advisable to use special scrapbooking paper or corrugated cardboard.
It’s very easy to make a Christmas tree applique using store-bought stickers. Even a two-year-old can do this craft for the New Year with his own hands.
Simple and effective - homemade New Year's cards "Christmas tree" from ordinary buttons.
You can also embroider a Christmas tree with threads. Only in this case, the New Year's card should be made of high-density paper or cardboard. The holes must first be carefully made with an awl. For the simplest version of a Christmas tree, see the photo below.
For a more complex version of a New Year's card with a Christmas tree made of threads, see here >>>> To make this New Year's craft with your own hands, you will also need sequins or beads.
By the way, you can embroider not only a Christmas tree with threads, but also something else, New Year’s. For example, this cute deer.
You can make an original DIY New Year's card from a fern leaf or any other plant similar to it. For example, cypress branches. Just take the top of the leaf and glue it onto the card. This will be a Christmas tree. All you have to do is decorate it with sequins or confetti made using a hole punch from colored paper. Instead of confetti, you can glue multi-colored pieces of plasticine to the Christmas tree. Even a child can do this part of the work of making a homemade New Year’s card.
You can make a New Year's card either from a whole leaf of fern, or just from its upper part.
The technique for making three-dimensional Christmas trees is similar to the method for making New Year's balls. See the link >>>> But you don’t have to glue them together completely, instead glue the Christmas trees onto the card.
Option 3.
Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year's card. To make such a voluminous card with a Christmas tree for the New Year, you will need three square sheets of green paper: large, medium and small. Also, in order to make a Christmas tree trunk, you will need a rectangular sheet of brown paper.
Fold each square piece of paper in half first (horizontally and vertically) to mark the center lines. Then fold them two more times diagonally. After this, fold each sheet into a pyramid (see photos 3 and 4). Glue a Christmas tree from the resulting pyramids by inserting them into each other. How to make a trunk for a Christmas tree is shown in photos (8, 9 and 10). Finally, glue the Christmas tree to your New Year's card.
Option 4.
Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for the New Year. Making this voluminous paper card is much easier than it might seem at first glance. First you will need to cut out 5 halves of circles of different sizes from green paper: large, smaller, even smaller, etc. Fold each half of the circle in half, then in half again, and in half again. Unfold each piece and form accordion folds (see photo).
Now insert one piece into another and glue them together along the three central folds.
For the trunk, cut out a rectangle from brown paper and also fold it like an accordion.
Glue your paper Christmas tree onto the card base. The easiest way to make snowflakes is from white paper using a hole punch or drawing with a cotton swab.
Option 5.
A very beautiful DIY New Year's craft, accessible in complexity to a preschooler - a voluminous New Year's card "Christmas tree". The Christmas tree is made of rectangular strips of paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the tiers of the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: the ones at the bottom are the widest, the closer to the top the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The bottom strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large "step". The higher you go to the top, the shallower the bend depth.
Here are two more voluminous cards with a New Year tree made from a triangular-shaped sheet of paper folded like an accordion. Simple and tasteful!
Option 6.
Another voluminous New Year's card. Again, this New Year's craft for children is attractive not only in appearance, but also in its ease of manufacture.
To make such a New Year's card with your own hands, print out the templates (template-1 and template-2) on two sheets of cardboard or thick paper and use the detailed instructions from the photographs below. It is better if the sheets of cardboard are of different colors.
Finally, decorate the Christmas tree to your liking. The voluminous New Year's card is ready! 
Option 7.
Origami Christmas tree. We invite you to make a three-dimensional New Year's card decorated with a Christmas tree made of paper made using the origami technique. To make the card look more elegant and festive, choose more beautiful paper for your New Year tree. Special paper for scrapbooking is well suited for this DIY New Year's craft. By the way, making such an origami Christmas tree is much easier than it seems at first glance. For one origami Christmas tree you will need 4-5 square sheets of paper of different sizes.
Option 8.
There is an easier way to make a Christmas tree using the origami technique. Detailed instructions in the photo below.
Option 9.
You can make a voluminous New Year's card with your own hands from corrugated paper.
Option 10.
The elements of the New Year's card in the photo below are made using the quilling technique.
3. DIY New Year cards (“New Year’s balls”)
Do-it-yourself New Year's cards with images of New Year's balls look good. The New Year's applique "Christmas balls" can be made from bright paper and decorated with ribbons.
Beautiful New Year's balls are made from colored strips of paper. Cut an unnecessary glossy magazine (advertising brochure) into thin strips, stick them on White list paper. After this, cut out circles of different sizes from the resulting striped paper. Decorate your New Year's card with them.
New Year's balls can be made not only from paper, but also from buttons.
Instead of buttons, you can use purchased decorative rhinestones.
The website www.hgtv.com offers to make original three-dimensional New Year cards with images of Christmas tree balls.
To make such a New Year's card with your own hands, print the following template. See link >>>> Draw a circle on each square using a compass or an object with a round bottom of a suitable size. Cut out all the circles, then use the following instructions to make Christmas balls. See link >>>> But you don't need to completely glue the balloon, stick it onto the card instead.
Another New Year's decoration - a garland of flags - will look impressive on a New Year's card. Flags can be made from paper or fabric and then glued or sewn onto the card.
Even very young children can make their own New Year's card with the image of a multi-colored garland of fingerprints.
And from a handprint you can make a New Year's card with Santa Claus or funny snowmen.
1. On any surface that does not absorb paint (for example, a regular sheet pan), make a rectangular frame (the size of your card) from tape or tape.
2. Apply paint to the surface in an even layer. Use a cotton swab to draw a picture on a New Year's theme.
3. Attach a piece of paper. Your DIY New Year's card is ready!
4. Volumetric postcard on New Year DIY "Snowman"
Separately, I would like to talk about this original, voluminous postcard for the New Year. Making such a paper snowman is very simple. Even a preschooler can cope with the task. You need to cut out three circles of different sizes from thick white paper. It is advisable to shade the edges of the circles so that they stand out better against each other. This can be done using crushed pencil lead or eye shadow. Also cut out a scarf, pens, a carrot nose, eyes and buttons from colored paper. Glue all the parts of the snowman sequentially onto the blank of your New Year's card.
Here is the original card made by a scrapbooking artist.
And here are the versions of this voluminous New Year's card made by children.

9. Original do-it-yourself New Year cards. DIY New Year's Eve
We would like to introduce you to another interesting technique for making New Year’s cards with your own hands. The Christmas tree and New Year's ball in the photo below are made using this technique.
To make a Christmas tree card, you will need:
Red cardboard sheet
- a sheet of colored origami paper (on one side - dark green,
on the other side - light green)
- scissors or a special knife for cutting paper
- glue
Print a stencil on a piece of green origami paper. Make cuts along the lines on it. Where the trunk of the Christmas tree is located, cut out a piece of paper completely. If you fold a sheet of paper in half before making cuts, you can cut it with scissors. In this case, even a preschooler will be able to make a postcard. If you want to do without a fold in the center of the card, then it is better to make cuts special knife for cutting paper. Now all you have to do is fold the corners back and stick your workpiece onto the cardboard.
The "New Year's Ball" card is made in the same way. The stencil for making this original New Year's card can be downloaded from the link >>>>
The snowflakes from the section were made using the same technique. They can also decorate a New Year's card.
And another do-it-yourself New Year’s card “Christmas tree”, made using this technique.

Craft "New Year's card in kindergarten"
Corrugated paper is very interesting and easy to process. It is sold in large assortment. There is even a metallized one with decorative effects. Use it to make a New Year's card. The central element will be the Christmas tree.
The execution sequence is as follows:
- Take a sheet of thick paper or cardboard (white, colored, single-sided or double-sided). Fold the blank in half so that the decorative side is the front side for the card.
- Draw a triangle-shaped tree on the cover or simply mark the boundaries of the future object.
- Cut green crepe paper into rectangles. For one postcard you can take 2-3 parts. These will be used to make the tiers of the Christmas tree. The height of the workpiece should correspond to the tier, and the length should be greater, since the rectangle will fold like an accordion.
- Fold each rectangle, making neat folds of equal or different widths. Corrugated paper allows you to form the volume of an element by slightly bending the material.
- Glue the blanks to predetermined places. You can apply glue only to the top of the elements to make the tiers of the tree look more voluminous.

New Year cards in kindergarten (senior group)
The craft will be made in the form of a paper Christmas tree, folded from a colored sheet and decorated with small details. To complete this you will need the following:
- Green colored paper (preferably double-sided).
- Christmas tree stencil.
- Pencil.
- Scissors.
- Colored decorations.
- Glue.
The work will go like this:
- Take a piece of paper and place the stencil on it.
- Trace along the outline with a pencil.
- Cut the workpiece with scissors.
- If the paper or cardboard was prepared single-sided, place the tree in front of you so that the green part becomes the front for the card and the white part is on the inside.
- Draw guides along the ruler for future fold lines.
- If the cardboard is thick, it is better to first draw along these lines with the edge of the back of a pencil, the corner of a ruler, or the pointed tip of scissors. This will help you make the fold line neatly and evenly.
- Bend the workpiece along the prepared lines.
- Start decorating the surface of the Christmas tree. For convenience, lay the template out flat again. In this case, the fold lines will be clearly visible, the child will no longer stick decorations on them.
- You can suggest cutting out the decor from colored paper yourself if you have the appropriate tools. Scissors with curly edges and curly hole punches in the shape of snowflakes are perfect for this. The main thing is to use thin paper so that the child does not have to put a lot of effort into getting the decorations. Be sure to explain where the sheet is placed. Even a 2-year-old child will enjoy stamping stars and snowflakes.
- If you don’t have figured hole punches, use regular ones. You will get colored circles, from which you can easily assemble beads or stick them like Christmas balls on your Christmas tree postcard.
- When the decor is prepared, start gluing. If the circles, stars and snowflakes are not made of self-adhesive paper, apply PVA glue to the base and attach decorative details.
When the glue dries, the card is ready.
