It is customary to give postcards for all holidays marked and not marked on the calendar. This applies to large religious holidays such as Easter or personal and small ones such as a day of acquaintance or a big purchase. All memorable dates need postcards and New Year is no exception. As you know, one cannot buy something made directly by human hands in a store and one cannot find it from another. Everything is unique.

We invite you to please and surprise your friends and acquaintances with New Year's cards. And to this we attach a selection of ideas for inspiration on the theme of New Year's cards.

Idea number 1. Christmas card with a Christmas tree in a skirt

This is a three-dimensional postcard. If you have planned to write a wish and then print it on a printer, then this should be done before decorating.

So, what you need to create a corrugated paper herringbone card:
2. Corrugated paper.
3. Scissors.
5. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
6. A simple pencil.

Let's start by preparing the base for the postcard. To do this, take cardboard or thick paper, fold it in half. Basically a standard postcard move. Further, on one of the halves, make an approximate sketch of the poor Christmas tree. This can be done with a couple of lines.

Now let's prepare the corrugated paper. You need to cut it into strips about one and a half centimeters high, and in length, this value is curled because how fluffy the Christmas tree needs to be. We propose to take a third of the planned length for the allowance. The stripes should be of different sizes to maintain the triangular shape of the herringbone. That is, both the shortest and longest strips should be available.

Now you need to glue the strips of corrugated paper in place. It is better to start from the lower tiers and gradually work your way up. Focusing on the marks made earlier and using glue or double-sided tape, glue the strips, picking them up a little. To get a kind of skirt with folds.

When finished, you can decorate the top of your Christmas tree with a star and glue glitter, rain, bows, or something like that.

You need to pick up some elements or come up with kind words. So that your postcard will leave an even greater impression on the addressee.

Idea number 2. New Year card and some scrapbooking

In this version, it is better to print the wish in advance or print it on a separate piece of paper, which can also be played up and presented in an original way.

So, what do you need to create a postcard:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Scissors.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Scrap paper.
6. Any object shaped like a pencil.

Scrapbooking postcard, for beginners

Decide on the size of the poor Christmas tree. And already based on this, plan how much paper you need. More precisely, how many and what size you need to cut into rectangles from scrap paper.

Then, as you decided on the number of rectangles and cut them out, you need to roll each one into cylinders. The basis of which will be a pencil or something cylindrical in shape, which you have at your fingertips. You need to twist the tubes in the direction of the width, and so that they keep their shape, after you remove the base, you need to fix the structure with glue.

After each rectangle is twisted into a tube, you need to connect all the tubes together with glue. Naturally, you should stick to roughly the shape of a Christmas tree, that is, a triangle.

Now let's get to the base of the postcard. Take a prepared piece of cardboard or heavy paper and fold it in half. Now you need to glue the Christmas tree to one of the halves. But before that, the glue on the tree should grasp enough and dry.

After the Christmas tree is glued to the base of the postcard, it's time to decorate it. For this purpose, you can use all kinds of decorations - buttons, miniature bows, ribbons, beads, rivets, sequins, sequins, in a word, whatever your heart desires.

Decorations can be glued onto double-sided tape.

Do not forget to write something nice to the addressee inside.

Idea number 3. New Year's card in the style of "children's hands"

This idea is perfect for little needlewomen and needlewomen. She is uncomplicated, but sweet and open, just like a child's soul. Let's not hesitate, call the kids and let's get started.

1. Colored cardboard. We propose to take the classic color combination: red and green. But you are free to change them.
2. Sequins, rhinestones, sequins.
3. Wrapping paper or candy wrapper.
4. Black thin marker.
5. Scissors.
6. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
7. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
8. Stapler.
9. Hot melt glue.

Let's start by preparing the base for the postcard. To do this, take the red cardboard and simply fold it in half. You can cut off the corners of the resulting rectangle a little. This will make your message more interesting.

We make a Christmas tree. You will need to take a green cardboard and fold it in half and then cut it. Bend the "accordion" out of one half. Determine the width of the "step" yourself. We recommend at least one centimeter and no more than three. Grab one end of the "accordion" with a stapler, you can put two staples for reliability.

Now let's arrange the stump. To do this, you need to cut out a simple rectangle from wrapping paper or candy wrappers. If you use the latter, then do not forget to first iron it with an iron through a simple sheet of paper. This will help straighten the wrapper.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree to the base of the postcard. Hot melt glue is perfect for this purpose. It is better not to trust children with this operation. At the free end of the Christmas tree, tuck the stump and glue it too.

Advice. Since the heat gun heats the rod to a sufficiently high temperature, the child can burn himself or ruin the whole work with a careless movement, it will be offensive.
It's time to dress up the Christmas tree. Glue the decorations you have prepared to the crown. Don't forget to put something big and pretty on top of your New Year's beauties.

Give your child a marker and let him write some simple and kind words on a postcard and let him make a couple of mistakes, where can we go without them?

Idea number 4. New Year card in the style of "minimalism"

We offer you a postcard with a herringbone in a minimalist style for consideration and inspiration. At first glance, a simple and even modest postcard becomes quite complicated when studied in detail. But you're not looking for easy ways, are you?

So what you need to create a minimalist greeting card

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Stationery knife or shaped hole punch.
3. Thread with a needle. It is better to take the color of the thread contrasting with the main color of the postcard. And the type of thread you can take is similar to "iris".
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Sequins.
6. Scissors.

DIY Christmas card for children

We will start, as they say, from the beginning. Fold a piece of cardboard in half. Now on one of the parts you need to make some sketches. This applies to the location of the top of the tree and the tree itself. After you conditionally placed the Christmas tree on the half of the postcard. Carefully cut through the top of the tree. If you have a shaped hole punch, then this task will not take much of your time. Well, if there is no hole punch, then first draw a star, then carefully cut it out with a clerical knife. By the way, before starting work, it is better to update the tip of the blade.

After you are done with the star. Take a thread with a needle and using your marks, start making stitches. Remember to string enough sequins onto the string after piercing the paper. It is not advisable to pull the thread tightly and it is also not desirable for it to sag.

Now you need to make notes through the cut out hole of the sprocket. So that its location can be seen inside the postcard. Use a sticker in the shape of an asterisk and any other, not necessarily exactly this shape, as long as it is not clear what kind of sticker it is when the postcard is closed.

That's all. Write something good inside and donate boldly!

Idea number 5. Postcard with a Christmas tree in origami technique.

Origami is a very complex and interesting technique. Her Asian roots give her a certain charm and mystery. At the mention of this technique, complex structures and intricate schemes immediately pop up in memory. But don't worry, the tree below is not aerobatics. You will definitely cope with it.

So, what do you need to create an origami Christmas card:
1. Colored thick paper, not cardboard.
2. Colored cardboard.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.

Let's start at the bottom of the postcard. Gently bend a sheet of multi-colored A4 cardboard (you can also use another one) in half.

Tip: Keep in mind some cardboard sheets tend to crack when folded. This greatly affects the aesthetics of the postcard itself. If you have trouble running into such cardboard, then the bend can be decorated with curly cut colored paper or tape, or even braid.

So, now we need to fold about three origami modules. More or less modules can be made depending on the original size. Accordingly, the herringbone will be larger or smaller.
Let's start from an example. Take three squares of heavyweight or scrapbooking paper. You can print any image you want on thick paper. The sides of the square, as we said above, can affect the size of the tree. In our case, 20 centimeters. The square needs to be folded diagonally, then expanded and bent again diagonally, crosswise.

You have conventionally marked four triangles, now you need to fill in two opposite to each other. Now press the resulting triangle to any surface and mark for yourself the conditional center of the figure, bend the bottom corner parallel to the marked middle. Repeat the procedure with the second corner. The module is ready. Add two more. You can take a different color of paper.

Let's start assembling the Christmas tree. Glue the origami module onto the base of the postcard. You can use glue or tape. The formation of the Christmas tree should be done from top to bottom, as if nesting the next module into the previous one.

The next step is to fill in the details for your postcard. How and what to decorate, choose yourself. As an example, we offer bows and buttons.

Idea number 6. Postcard with ribbon - herringbone

This idea is also minimalist. And it is not too complex a design. If you are looking for ideas for working with children, then this idea is perfect for you.

So, what do you need to create a card with a ribbon herringbone:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Decorative ribbons, scrap paper or clippings from brightly colored printed pages.
6. Stickers. In this version, it is important to take stickers in the form of stars.

We will start, respectively, with the preparation of the basis. To do this, bend a sheet of cardboard in half. Among the prepared materials, look for paper or tape in color that is closest to brown. We will decorate the trunk of the Christmas tree. The ideal option would be to cut a highly elongated trapezoid out of brown paper. On one of the halves of the base, glue the trunk of the Christmas tree. Try to place it exclusively in the middle of the sheet.

After you have completed work with the trunk, you need to pay attention to the crown of the tree. Namely, cutting the prepared material into strips. Each next strip should be longer or, accordingly, shorter than the previous one. It is better not to change the width. We suggest cutting strips of about 1.5-2 centimeters.

Now that you have visually imagined how many strips you need, you need to cut the corners of the cut ribbons at an angle of about 45 degrees. So that, in general, the tapes, already placed in their proper places, represent a triangle with a strongly pointed apex. It is better to do this not for each tape separately, but for all at once, with one, so to speak, notch.

Glue the star-shaped sticker to the very top of your tree. On this we can consider the work on this postcard finished. But you can add details with decorative elements. This is for your taste.

Idea number 7. Christmas card with original Christmas tree

And one more idea for inspiration for the New Year's variation. The idea is also not distinguished by the multistep and high cost of materials. And at the exit there is an original and cute decoration for a New Year's card. If you take pastel shades, or as makeup artists like to say, nude shades, then the postcard will have a rather bright feminine character. Such a card would be an appropriate addition to a present for a woman of middle age and older.

So, what do you need to create a greeting card with an original Christmas tree:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Double-sided tape and / or PVA glue.
4. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.
5. Round napkins or double-sided colored paper.

The first thing we do is smooth the cardboard across. Now the main part of the postcard is ready.

Now we are making a Christmas tree. To this end, you need to take a double-sided napkin in the shape of a circle and divide it exactly in half. In the future, you only need one piece to create one Christmas tree. Well, if you could not find suitable napkins, then you can make paper for this purpose yourself. The main thing is to decide what size your Christmas tree appears to you.

Since it must be borne in mind that the average printer is able to print any picture only in A4 format. Accordingly, based on this, it is necessary to calculate the size of the living tree. Alternatively, you can use heavyweight double-sided paper.
In favor of the option with a printout: if you print only a semicircle, the size of the tree will increase to 20-25 centimeters.

So, you have decided on the paper and there is a semicircle in front of you. In order to fold the Christmas tree, you need to do a fairly simple operation. Along the straight edge of the semicircle, step back about 3-5 centimeters and make an inconspicuous mark for yourself. This is where the top of your tree will be located. Now "accordion" smooth the paper. The step width is approximately five centimeters. Experiment with this. You may be satisfied with other options.

It makes sense to fix the resulting folds so that the Christmas tree does not strive to free itself like a spring. This can be easily done with double-sided tape. When your hand becomes more confident in folding the accordion, you can pre-fix the tape on a semicircle of paper.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree on one of the halves of the poor postcard. This can be done with tape or glue.
If you wish, add details to the card, decorate the Christmas tree with decorative elements.

We are all familiar with children's books since childhood. Who, not yet knowing about it, were the founders of the modern ultra-fashionable 3D. Turning over the next sheet, we met with foxes, wolves or Koloboks, who as if alive rose above the book pages. Agree, then for us it was almost magic. We have grown up, and now we can try on the mantle of a wizard simply by making voluminous cards for the New Year.

So, what you need to create a New Year card with a 3D effect:

1. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Curly scissors (optional).
4. Pencil and ruler.
5. Stationery knife.
6. Elements for decoration, at your discretion.

Let's start making 3D postcards for the New Year

It is required to cut out several triangles from colored cardboard; for this purpose, take curly scissors. In the future, these triangles will become tree crowns. You don't have to make them the same, you can experiment with the sizes.

Now let's get down to preparing the base of the postcard. For this purpose, you need to take two sheets of cardboard and paper. The cardboard will act as the backing, and the paper will be the inner thread of the card. And fold them in half

A sheet of paper that will play the role of an inner liner must first be outlined, and then using a clerical knife or scissors to make cuts. The marks are applied perpendicular to the fold of the paper and are something like steps, namely stumps for poor Christmas trees.

The crowns of the Christmas trees prepared in advance must now be glued into place. To do this, open the inner insert of the postcard, you should get something like steps, so stick the Christmas trees on them. Have you already understood the principle of the postcard?

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the idea for creating a very original greeting and not only New Year's card. But still, it will look like the sheets folded in half that we are used to. Although, here is a completely different principle. But the addressee will definitely like it.

So, what do you need to create a dynamic New Year greeting card:

1. Thick colored cardboard and / or paper. A4 format will suffice.
2. Scissors.
3. Stationery knife.
4. Compasses.
5. Sufficiently thick thread.

On a standard A4 sheet of paper, draw a circle with a compass. Then cut it out. Now fold the resulting circle in half and use scissors to make cuts that are alternately arranged and reflect the outline of the circle. As you move away from the center, the incisions should get longer.

After that, you need to straighten the circle. Glue the thread to the center of the circle. To make the product more interesting. The thread is passed through the top and circles made of cardboard, contrasting in color, are glued to it. The thread is positioned so that the glued circles are located under the base of the circle. Now, if you pull the string, the structure will turn into an unusual garland shaped like a herringbone. And inside, bright circles will playfully be seen.

Now you need to glue the Christmas tree after returning it to the folded state. While gluing, make sure that you do not glue too much, and the tree has the ability to creep out. The base to which you will glue your dynamic Christmas tree can be made of folded cardboard.

That's basically it. You have got an unusual and dynamic postcard, it remains to write congratulations and present.

Idea number 10. New Year's cards, decorated with double-sided tape with a backing

We offer you several options at once under one heading. Since they have a common element - in all versions, double-sided tape with a backing was used as a basis for decorating and fixing the elements.

So, what do you need to create a New Year greeting card using double-sided tape:

Double-sided tape with backing.
Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
Scissors.
Shaped hole punch, upon request.
Ribbons, cord, or thick thread.

Option 1. First you need to prepare the basics for the postcards. This is very simple to do - you just need to take a few sheets of cardboard and bend them in half. You can make not only rectangular shapes, but the simplest and most familiar ones. Triangular or cardboard ones will also be quite original, just keep in mind that not all decor elements look equally good, for example, on a round shape.

Video, DIY Christmas cards

Then we will prepare the elements for decoration. Using a shaped hole punch, cut out a lot of colored cardboard circles from colored paper. It is desirable that the size be different. Well, if a hole punch was not found on the farm, you can simply cut everything out with scissors. True, it will take more time, but we are not looking for easy ways? It is better to take paper that is hard and different in color. The ideal option would be to use colors that differ in several tones, but within the same shade. You can take paper that simulates a mirror surface and add it as an add-on.

Now you need to take the prepared base of the postcard and stick adhesive tape on it. By creating a semblance of a circle on the sheet. Then remove the protective layer from the pads of the tape and glue the multi-colored circles. Repeat this procedure as you add more layers. Try to alternate mugs of different sizes. The number of layers is yours. Add them until you get the desired result. Then just tie a colorful ribbon with a bow and glue it at the top, making the circles glued in layers into a kind of wreath.

Option 2. A fairly minimalistic option. Good for men or guys. You will need a prepared base of the postcard, on which you glue a piece of scotch tape, and on it a square of plain cardboard. Determine the size yourself. At the top of the cardboard square, place a slightly variegated ribbon bow. It will turn out to be a kind of stylization of the image of a gift.

Option 3. Cut out several rectangles of various shapes from colored cardboard. They must be wrapped with thread in the manner of wrapping gifts with ribbon and leave a bow on top. Then stick the postcards in a row on the double-sided cattle along the lower edge of the blank. You can succinctly add "Happy New Year!"

Simple DIY Christmas cards. Ideas for creativity

Idea number 11.

This is an extremely interesting idea. Because even the thought of stapling paper is already surprising. This idea is based on appliqué, which is fixed in place with machine stitching. Naturally, the stitching can also be applied manually, you can find a certain charm and originality in this. Both should be tried out as different suturing techniques can give your card a completely different look.

So, what do you need to create a New Year's card decorated with a sewing machine stitch:

1. Sewing machine. In principle, you can also sew stitches by hand.
2. Thick colored cardboard or paper. A4 format will suffice.
3. Scissors.
4. Additional decorations at your discretion.

Let's get started.

Now, from any type and coloring of paper, cut out decorative elements. It can be Christmas trees, balls, stars. And paper can be plain or variegated, monochrome. Wrapping, for scrapbooking, simple, printed on a printer or colorful pages of old magazines. Then fold all the elements on top of each other and sew with a typewriter. Try to fix all layers with one line. Take a bright thread so that you can clearly see it against the general background. Set the thread tension to the lowest setting.

You can place any one element or make many layers. Experiment as you please. The line can be laconically arranged or made a set, crossing them.

2. From green double-sided paper, cut 3 squares with sides of 70 mm, 100 mm, 130 mm. Fold the squares like this: diagonally in half, unfold along the other diagonal as well. Expanding the square gives you diagonal lines. Fold the blanks as shown in the photo to make a triangle. Fold the top edges inward.

3. When you have folded all three squares, begin to glue them with the smallest PVA glue to the base. The next square needs to be glued into the inside of the upper one, and the third - into the inside of the second.

4. Cut out the snowflakes or make them with a curly hole punch. Glue to the workpiece. Next, apply the toothpaste to the brush and using the "spray" method, brushing the brush along the comb, apply the toothpaste to the tree and the entire product as shown in the picture.

Glue this rectangle to the base using double-sided tape. Cut out several squares and rectangles of different sizes from colored paper. Stick them over the blank. Now, on the basis of a pencil, mark the schematic image of the Christmas tree. And paste over the drawing with beads, ranging from large, ending with small ones.

New Year's card "Santa Claus and deer" in quilling technique

For the New Year 2019, you can make a voluminous postcard "Santa Claus and the Reindeer" using the quilling technique. If you are not an expert in this field, then this is not a problem. After all, even your child can easily figure it out and create a wonderful New Year's product with his own hands in a couple of hours. To do this, it is recommended to purchase a ready-made quilling kit at a stationery store, or take colored paper and cut it into thin long strips. Then you should start your creativity.

To work you will need:

colored cardboard;
paper strips for quilling;
PVA glue;
toothpicks;
pencil;
ruler;
scissors.

Manufacturing process:

To make a postcard, take colored cardboard and fold it in half.
After we have the foundation, we need to start decorating it with the help of small paper parts, which are performed by winding a thin strip of colored paper onto a pencil or toothpick. As a result, multilayer rings are obtained, the diameter of which must be adjusted using the length of the paper lengths.
So that the resulting curl does not unwind, its edge should be fixed with PVA glue. But the product should not be tightly tightened, it should look airy.
Now we take our base - cardboard folded in half, and, if you wish, make sketches of the future drawing with a simple pencil. This will simplify your work and you can easily put all the paper composition together.
Having prepared all the details of Santa Claus, a deer and a gift, we attach them with PVA glue to our sketch, alternating colors in such an order so that it turns out as in the photo.
Deer eyes and antlers must be cut out of white and black paper, as these are small parts of the drawing and will be difficult to make using quilling. Although, if you try, everything is possible.
You can create the general background of the postcard by means of your imagination. To do this, it is advisable to use glitter, PVA glue (original snowflakes are made from it, supplemented with sparkles or rhinestones), acrylic paint or gouache.
When the drying process is complete, add some nice congratulations to your craft. Ready!

For the New Year 2019, you will create magic with your own hands that will cheer everyone up. Such a pleasantness will be kept by your family and friends for many years as a memento.

After reviewing our photo ideas, you will create several types of postcards and present them to your family and friends.

Our training video will teach you a few more types of quilling decorations, which can be used to beautifully transform your New Year's greetings.

Christmas card "Herringbone" in origami technique

A postcard made with your own hands using the origami technique will turn out to be quite expressive and catchy. Such a cute craft can be presented for the New Year 2019 to your parents or grandparents. And do not think that it will take certain skills to do this job. Not at all, I want to assure you. Our tips with step-by-step instructions will be enough for you, which will take you to the finish line.

To work you will need:

colored paper and cardboard;
PVA glue;
decorative ornaments at your discretion.

Manufacturing process:

We take colored cardboard and fold it in half to form the basis of our postcard. We select paper for making a Christmas tree, with which we will decorate our product, according to a harmonious combination. For this purpose, it is allowed to use not only colored paper, but also gift wrapping. It will look even brighter and better, which will significantly transform our craft.
We cut the handy material selected by us for the decorative finishing of the product into small squares of different sizes. This is necessary in order to fold the herringbone in a conical shape.
Let's start creating the individual details of our tree. To do this, you need to take the squares we cut out and first fold them in half so that you get a triangle. Then we fold the geometric figure that we have formed in half again. The triangle came out again, but a little smaller. Then we bend the edges of this part on both sides, attracting them to each other and connecting them in the center. Here we have got a part of our tree. Such paper elements should be prepared at least three to four pieces.
Let's start designing our New Year's card with our own hands. We take all the paper parts made by us and one by one from bottom to top (from larger to smaller - the top of the head) we attach them to our cardboard base using PVA glue.
After that, you should devote some more time to decorating our product. At this stage, you can apply whatever you like. These are, first of all, beautiful strings, colorful strings, satin ribbons, from which wonderful Christmas tree decorations in the form of bows, flowers, balls, etc. come out. A decoration made of beads and half-beads, beads, shiny pebbles - stickers, multi-colored glitter, acrylic paint, rain will look very impressive. Alternatively, it is worth considering a decoration made using broken glass from Christmas tree spoiled toys. We collect various fragments and in an iron container we grind them with a wooden crush into small colored chips. Do not worry too much, it is not dangerous and does not inject at all in such a treatment. So, it is very simple to apply such a blank. It is worth drawing the desired image on the selected congratulatory product, decorating it, greasing it well with glue, and then sprinkling it with our shiny "powder". For the New Year 2019, with the lively flickering of mechanical garlands, such an interesting hand-made craft will fascinate all your guests with its playing brilliance.

It's time to familiarize yourself with our wonderful selection of photo ideas, which will push you to new thoughts in the field of this creativity.

Holiday card "Snow Maiden" in the technique of facing

This type of decorative and applied art is very popular among children of preschool and school age. Making such New Year's crafts, children learn about the world around them, all its beauty and aesthetic directions. In addition, this type of activity has a rather positive effect on their inner world. They become kinder, calmer, more assiduous, more sociable, because such a process is still a collective matter, since it will not be easy for one kid to cope with his task at the initial stage. Therefore, parents, older brothers and sisters, or best friends come to the rescue. Having gained patience and having purchased multi-colored napkins, you need to start making cards for the New Year 2019 with your own hands. But do not forget that your mood should be at its best, since the quality of the work you do depends on it.

colored napkins or corrugated paper;
colored cardboard;
PVA glue;
scissors;
ruler;
simple pencil and colored;
felt-tip pens;
ballpoint pen stem.

Progress:

We take our colorful napkins or corrugated paper, cut 1 X 1 cm squares from it.
The next thing we need to do is draw an image of the Snow Maiden on a sheet of colored cardboard. If you do not really know the technique of fine art, then a carbon copy will come to your aid.
In order for the Snow Maiden's face to be set off from the general background, it should also be transferred to white paper, and subsequently cut out with scissors. Using PVA glue, attach the image of the fairytale heroine we cut out to the face previously drawn on colored cardboard. Make expressive eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth and cheeks using felt-tip pens or pencils.
Now we proceed to the direct facing. In this work, we need a pen rod, PVA glue and squares cut from colored napkins or corrugated paper. Let's start with the Snow Maiden's hat. We apply a small amount of glue to the heroine's headdress, and then we take a paper square and press it tightly against the tapered end of the handle, slightly scroll so that the napkin is slightly wrapped around the rod. Next, we attach our blank to the cap shown in the figure, press it a little so that it is properly fixed, and immediately remove the handle. In this way, we must process the entire headdress of the Snow Maiden. But the parts to be made must be fastened close to each other in order to get the terry effect.
Having completed the design of the hat and its very frills, we move on to the clothes. We decorate with your chosen multi-colored napkins all the details in the picture, without missing a single element. It is very important. Your 2019 New Year card should look rich, lively and colorful.
At the end of our work, the general background of the craft can be supplemented with snowflakes, also performing them using the technique of cutting from white napkin squares.
You have the right to decorate the finished work as you please. For this, a shiny glitter or some kind of mother-of-pearl sequins, with which you can perfectly express the snow shimmering in the light of garlands, the Snow Maiden's coat, some individual patterns depicted on all clothes, are well suited.

In general, that's all! If you really want to, you can make other types of postcards made using the facing technique with your own hands. To do this, check out our photo ideas.

To get a better understanding of the facing technique, we suggest you watch our training video.

We glue the finished paper tubes together and then attach them to our cardboard base with glue.
