L Panteleev stories about mom. Leonid Panteleev - My word of honor (collection)

Now we begin to prepare gifts for the holiday. And we will start doing this with greeting cards.

Everyone remembers Soviet greeting cards with kind hedgehogs, squirrels and Santa Claus. They are excellent and beautifully drawn, but now I want something different. More modern and creative, therefore, improvised materials and simple, laconic forms are increasingly used in creativity.

Now a postcard is a direction of handmade creativity and represents original item design.

It is not necessary to have a diploma art school to draw the main attributes of the New Year. Most often they are very symbolic. You just need to repeat the triangular shape of the Christmas tree and the square shape of the gift wrapping.

There are things that have already lost their functionality over time: old locks or buttons. But they will become a wonderful decor.

Or you know for sure that you have wallpaper scraps stored on your mezzanines. Take them!

The ideas of some craftswomen who create modern beautiful options gift and packaging design.

For example, cross-stitched snowflakes.

Or Christmas balls from newspaper.

Absolutely everything is used for decoration, right down to colored pasta.

Idea: To create an unusual background, place a template on the base.
Dial on toothbrush gouache and move it over the comb.
When the application density is satisfactory, then remove the template.

Making a New Year's card from paper and cardboard

A beautiful Christmas tree will be made from origami parts.

To make such a Christmas tree we will need three squares, measuring 5*5, 4*4, 3*3 centimeters.

Take 1 sheet of paper and fold it diagonally.

We get a triangle by folding the square twice diagonally.

Fold both upper edges of the triangle inward.

We need three such parts.

On white base We glue a beautiful backing on which our Christmas tree will be located.

We make a trunk out of brown paper, and glue a bow or star to the top; you can also use a button.

Creative ideas for DIY New Year cards made from different materials

Use a minimalist style. Recreate the silhouette of a Christmas tree using thin ribbon.

Or glue sequins in the shape of a New Year's wreath.

You can simply connect the points at the level of the branches with colored threads.

Just select a contrasting background in advance and use a needle to make holes where the threads will go.

Feel free to use wood chips, clothespins, newspapers and fabric.

Button decor is popular now.

Or, for example, try to apply an ornament in the form of a deer or a Christmas tree on the front side and carefully cut it out.

Glue a colored backing on the reverse side to create contrast.

Simple lines, several backgrounds and paper textures and an unusual creative greeting are ready.

Now let's get creative and create an unusual postcard.

Be sure to glue a backing onto the base, because the design is heavy and the card may bend.

First we need 12 segments different paper or wallpaper.

We need to cut them 1 centimeter wider than the previous strip.

Before rolling into a tube, fold all the pieces in descending order to avoid confusion.

You can sign the width value on the reverse side of each workpiece.

Now take a pencil and roll up a tube. We glue the edge with glue or double-sided tape.

We complete all rows.

Braid and ribbons, beads or cones are suitable as decoration.

How to make New Year cards with your children

Making a three-dimensional snowman.

We will need:

Blue background
White paper
Thick double-sided tape
Decor

Draw three circles on a white sheet of paper different sizes. This will be the body of the snowman.

1 circle - 5 cm, 2 circle - 4 cm, 3 circle - 3 cm.

We draw eyes on the head, a carrot nose and a mouth with dots.

We decorate with decor and a congratulatory inscription.

It is better to prepare the background paper in advance, let it be holiday flowers: red, green, blue, golden.

Even just applying three stripes of festive colors already sets the overall mood!

Handicraft stores sell velvet and embossed cardboard, which diversify the textured combination of design elements.

You can make a background by simply printing traces of a Christmas tree or pine cone on plain paper.

Simply dip the Christmas tree needles in white gouache and transfer the print to the base.

Think about napkins with monograms and ornaments.

Children's fingerprints can make Christmas balls or animal figurines.

Use cotton wool and cotton pads to create a light and fluffy snowball or cute snowman.

It looks very creative when splashes of white paint are splashed in a chaotic manner on a plain cardboard.

Another option to get New Year's greetings, if you use a coloring book as a congratulation.

I'll give you a few options.

Color the snowman.

Print them out and let your child add colors to them.

If you use thick cardboard, you can glue heavy decor in the form of buttons, beads or pine branches.

It’s also easy to make a snowflake decoration using PVA glue.

We need a tube with a spout.

We apply a drawing to the base with a pencil and squeeze out strips of glue along it. It must be shaken well before use. While it is not completely high, sprinkle with glitter and remove to dry completely.

This glue is considered completely harmless and non-toxic, so you can work with children.

If you are against working with glue, then purchase self-adhesive paper. It is easy to stick on and remove from the surface. Is it good for a child to exercise? fine motor skills(it will tear off the protective layer).

There are also curly scissors on sale; they are great for trimming the edges of a backing or a congratulatory inscription. It is safe for the child because they are not as sharp as regular scissors.

Also use stamps. Purchased or made from half a potato or a household sponge. Believe me, baby the time is yours joint creativity will remember for a long time and with pleasure.

My dears, I hope that you have found a unique and simple design to repeat. Put a piece of your love for your loved ones into it and they will definitely feel it.

The tradition of giving cards for a reason significant events and holidays go back more than two centuries. Despite the fact that modern information Technology: mobile connection and the Internet, we are still happy to receive as a gift from loved one DIY colorful postcard for the New Year.

However, modern postcards look completely different from those we received twenty years ago. We no longer want to congratulate each other with the faceless products of the printing industry, which churned them out in unlimited quantities.

Boring standard cardboards were replaced by postcards, skillfully made on their own, into which the person who made them put a piece of his soul, warmth and care. One of our favorite holidays has always been the New Year: it is with it that we associate our dreams and hopes for a better future, and exchange gifts with people close to us.

A handmade card can be a pleasant addition to a gift. It is not at all difficult to make, since the materials for its manufacture (colored paper, cardboard, satin ribbons, bright shreds, beads, sequins, braid) can be found in every home. The task will become even easier if you purchase it in a store. special set for scrapbooking (this is what the art of making postcards is called).

In addition to materials, we may need a figured hole punch, openwork or zigzag scissors, and a set of decorative stamps.

An original postcard for a man can be a pocket in which New Year's greetings are inserted. IN last years appeared fashion trend It is imperative to link the congratulatory text with the patron saint of the coming year - one of the twelve animals of the Chinese horoscope.

Having found a suitable poem on the Internet, we add everything that we want to wish to our dear person and print the text on a home printer. Of course, for this we need a piece of thick cardboard, the edges of which can be tinted acrylic paints and decorate with ornaments using suitable stamps.

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 in execution that you can make them in 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 beard are made like this: you need to take drawing paper and just tear off the strips the desired shape to create jagged 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 - this is 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 time painted with paints in school years. 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. Cut with sharp scissors snowy landscape and the moon and paste it on 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.

Santa Claus, Christmas trees, Snowmen, New Year's Sweets drawn, glued, sprinkled and cut out. How to interest children in the process of preparing for? Of course, do it with them interesting craft! For example, a postcard.

Postcard on New Year with your own hands with children should be made as simply as possible, so that the main part of the work is done by the child, and not by the adult. Therefore, it is better not to take complex cards in the style of quilling or - they are suitable for schoolchildren. A postcard can be made using the technique of sprinkling, stamping, and imprints.

If this is an applique, then all the details should be simple, easy to cut and stick. You can combine several techniques in one postcard.

We invite you to consider the available ones, but quite interesting options cards that you can make together with the kids.

If you prefer to work with, you can stick it on the front side of the postcard simple Christmas tree from a green triangle - crown and a rectangular brown trunk. Decorate the top with a foil star, sprinkle the Christmas tree with glitter - you're done! We looked at how to make a simple one earlier.

You can also use ice cream sticks as a stem - they make the craft more interesting. And confetti, small tinsel, and even can serve as decoration for the main New Year’s symbol.

You can make the card more original by decorating it with... a Santa Claus hat. Simply stick a red triangle elongated upward onto the front side of the card, and decorate its top and base with an “edge” of semolina, cotton wool or artificial snow.

New Year card Santa Claus hat

You can use something unusual for appliqué colored paper, and, for example, a sheet painted in an interesting way– for example, knitting yarn: on white paper paint is applied, which is then smeared onto the sheet with a skein of thread.
