DIY Christmas card for children for the competition. DIY Christmas card. Great photo ideas

At Christmas, like at any other holiday, it is customary to give cards. Christmas cards are not much different from New Year's ones: the same snowflakes, Christmas trees, snowmen. True, you will not see Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden on them, but angels, stars and wreaths can be present in abundance.

Let's create some Christmas cards together: the simplest ones that can be made with children, and the complex ones that an adult can do. Let's start, as usual, with light postcards.

Postcard "Christmas tree from tinsel"

To create such a postcard, we need:

  • a sheet of paper for the base;
  • a sheet of paper with a pattern;
  • a sheet of plain paper;
  • shiny Christmas tree tinsel of any color;
  • glue and scissors.

Let's start making a postcard.

  1. Take a sheet of plain paper for the base and fold it in half.
  2. Take a sheet of paper with a pattern. Cut out a rectangle slightly smaller than half of the base sheet with curly scissors. Glue the patterned paper onto the base.
  3. Take a sheet of plain paper and cut out a smaller rectangle from it than from colored paper. Stick on colored paper.
  4. Take Christmas tree tinsel and fold it into a Christmas tree on a postcard. Glue with glue.

The postcard is ready.

Here is another postcard with a picture of a Christmas tree.


This card is made just as easily as the previous one. The key to success will be the correct selection of paper for the base and for decoration - the background for the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree itself is made in the form of strips of paper, one edge of which is cut into “noodles”.

When the Christmas tree is glued to the base, it is necessary to draw a strip around it along the contour with a brush with glue. Then “throw” on the glue either finely chopped tinsel or crushed Christmas tree decorations. After the shiny decoration is securely stuck, the remnants are simply shaken off the postcard. The Christmas tree itself can be dressed up with sparkles and pieces of tinsel.

Volumetric Christmas tree

Making a voluminous Christmas tree is much easier than the previous one from Christmas tree tinsel and sparkles.

For such a postcard, you will need strips of green paper or any other if you want to make an original Christmas tree. The strips must be folded like an accordion and glued to the sides of the base of the postcard, as in the photo.

Volumetric postcard is ready. It remains only to write a congratulations.

Postcard "Snowman"


A wonderful voluminous postcard with a beautiful snowman is within the power of everyone, only adults should help kids cut out a snowman. To make such a postcard, you need to take two identical sheets of paper. We leave one sheet for the base, and on the other, exactly in the middle, we draw the outline of a snowman.

Look carefully at the photo, and you will see exactly how to cut, along which lines. Where the contour is not marked, it is not necessary to cut the paper. It is better to cut not with scissors, but with a scalpel. Scissors are suitable only for manicure, with sharp thin ends.

Now you can color the snowman in white or silver, as you like. You can also decorate the edges of the card with silver paint or broken toys.

The final stage of the operation "Snowman" consists in gluing a sheet with a cut out snowman onto the base of the postcard. Be very careful not to glue the snowman itself to the base.

Here is our postcard.

Volumetric card with Christmas deer

Such postcards are made using the kirigami technique. This is a Japanese word and it means paper cutting. For the manufacture of such postcards, special skill and skill are not required, it is enough just to redraw the template on a sheet of paper, cut out the deer along the contour, glue them together and glue them to the base of the postcard.

And here is the template for the deer:


Christmas cards: embroidery, balls, photo cards

Christmas cards can be embroidered.

To do this, you just need to buy a suitable pattern for embroidery and embroider it on the fabric. Then the drawing should be carefully cut out and glued to the base for the postcard.

Postcards can also be made in the form of balloons with a surprise.


It is not difficult to make them, but as a surprise, you can use photos of relatives.

A branch of an evergreen tree, covered with gold or silver paint and decorated with a ribbon and toys, looks very interesting and beautiful on a postcard.

A few more ideas:






Now you can make a great Christmas card yourself and please your family, friends and acquaintances.

Thank you very much for the postcards! Helped a lot! Very useful site, I advise everyone!!!

    As an example, a voluminous postcard for these celebrations can be made using such a currently very popular technique as scrapbooking.

    And here is this option:

    And you can build a postcard like this using the quilling technique:

    And you can also work on such options for bulk postcards:

    I won’t tell you how to do it, but which ones are not very difficult to do, I want to show you.

    Here are a few that aren't very difficult.

    This is for loved ones

    And if the upper ones can still be somehow repeated, then the lower 2 works are aerobatics! Take my word for it, I know how it is done and what is needed for this.

    In general, there are several ways, but they all boil down to what, in fact, to make an application, that is, take and cut out a beautiful and intricate pattern and New Year's patterns, and then take them and stick them.

    Now it is very fashionable to make gifts with your own hands, including postcards. Yes, indeed, such a postcard will be doubly pleased to receive. There are many options for making them. Here's a very pretty one, but it's a little tricky to make:

    And here's an easier option:

    You can make the whole postcard voluminous by cutting and bending the base. Such a postcard will be able to confidently stand on the table. Here is the layout of the cardboard base sheet. The places of folds are marked in white, the lines that need to be cut are marked in black.

    Having done these manipulations, get such a basis for the postcard.

    You can make some details on the postcard voluminous. Here, for example, is how to make Christmas trees and balls on a postcard.

    You can make a postcard that looks ordinary on the outside, but three-dimensional elements are revealed inside. Here is a step-by-step photo-master class for making such a postcard.

    A three-dimensional postcard for the New Year or Christmas can be made in the form of a folding one, with an application or a surprise from the inside.

    Inside the card, a whole drawing or a small stand is cut out, on which you can stick an application, as on a card with a Christmas tree:

    It is not difficult to make a card with a snowflake with your own hands. To do this, you need to fold paper or cardboard in half and cut out a beautiful snowflake. To make the snowflake symmetrical, you need a ready-made template that you can draw in advance or take on the Internet (redraw, reprint). This technique is called kirigami, an image inside a postcard that becomes three-dimensional when it is opened and unfolded:

    Such postcards are not difficult to make with your own hands and give to loved ones for the New Year. A handmade gift is the most extraordinary.

Snowflakes are circling quietly and smoothly outside the window, the light of a Christmas tree garland is reflected in the dark windows, and the most amazing New Year and Christmas holiday awaits us ahead, and during this period, both children and adults want to believe in a miracle, that a fairy tale is somewhere nearby . A greeting card is able to convey to everyone who received it a wonderful feeling of magic, wonder and childhood. The image of the Christmas tree on the postcard is not only the imagination of the artist, but a very real world that brings a joyful mood of the holiday with it to the house.
And how nice it was to receive a Christmas card with angels and an ornate inscription with kind warm wishes?! Less and less often we send greeting cards to each other by mail. But still, before the New Year, and then before Christmas, we rush to choose the most colorful, brightest postcards and write with pleasure words that we would not say at a meeting.
Let's delight loved ones with our own work?!
Let's make a postcard "The Night Before Christmas" using the Isothread technique.
Choose by color and texture cardboard sheet, determine the size (13.8 * 19.8).
We carry out the sketch pencil on the wrong side of the product. Almost all the details of the composition will be the same in shape (spirals) - the only difference is the size. Along the contour of the parts at a distance of 2-3 mm, we make punctures with an awl or a needle.
The reverse side looks like this:


Front side:


Today we offer you, as the main method, to stop at thread filling the spiral.
On a separate sheet of cardboard (to master this technique, in order to avoid mistakes in work), you can perform this exercise (especially important for those who are not familiar with the technique). The algorithm of actions is as follows. On the wrong side of the cardboard we draw a spiral, mark points at a distance of 2-3 mm from each other, make punctures.


Work begins from the starting point of the curl, the stitch length is selected from 3 to 5 punctures (depending on the size of the spiral). The filling of the spiral is done by advancing towards the end point in the same direction all the time. We fix the thread with tape on the wrong side.


Important: From the wrong side of the product we perform short stitches, from the front - long!
We connect the points with stitches: 1-4, 4-5 (short stitch on the wrong side), 5-2.2-3 (short stitch on the wrong side), 3-6.6-7 (short stitch on the wrong side), 7-4, 4-5(short stitch inside out),5-8,8-9(short stitch inside out),9-6,6-7(short stitch inside out),7-10,10-11(short stitch inside out ),11-8,8-9(short stitch inside out),9-12,12-13(short stitch inside out),13-10.
We fill the silhouettes with threads. On postcards, we begin to embroider the figure of an angel with white thread.


Then we fill in the silhouette of a spruce with green threads.


Snowdrifts are made with metallized blue threads. Please note: spirals are embroidered "to meet each other."


As the work progresses, the embroidery looks like this:


Wings of an angel, a halo, the radiance of a star are performed with metallic threads.


The trunk of a spruce, the hands of an angel are performed with one large stitch. Angel's palms - "knot". To do this, we make several turns of thread on the needle and, holding the thread with your finger, carefully make a puncture. The more turns, the larger the knot.


The star can be glued or sewn on.


Decorate sequins and beads.
The base of the postcard is ready!


We carry out a "frame" for embroidery. We carry out a drawing on a sheet of blue cardboard (length 28 cm, width 20 cm). We divide the sheet in half. On the right, we outline the silhouette of the window, in the lower corner, the curls are decorations.


We make punctures, embroider with metallic threads, fasten the snowflake with a thread. Cut out the silhouette of the window.


We duplicate the cover of the postcard on a blue sheet of paper. We cut out the silhouette of the window, connect the cardboard and a sheet of paper with glue or tape. On the right half of the postcard (in a turn) we place embroidery.


But that's not all!
Above the window we place a strip of adhesive tape.


We fix 2 organza sheets (14 cm * 20 cm), form folds. We glue a strip of paper to match the cardboard.


Tie a ribbon bow. Glue the tape as a curtain.





Embroidery options are as follows:

Christmas bells. The ringing of bells at Christmas time came to us from winter pagan holidays. When the Earth was cold, it was believed that the sun died and the evil spirit was very strong. To exorcise the evil spirit, it was necessary to make a lot of noise. The Christmas tradition of ringing bells, singing and shouting at the same time has survived to this day. Church bells ring out at Christmas time in churches all over the world. But not to drive out evil spirits. Thus, people welcome the coming of Christ.


Christmas angel. Since time immemorial, it has been customary to decorate your home and Christmas tree with angel figurines for the Christmas holiday. We believe that angels have supernatural powers and can bring happiness to a home.

Hello! The other day I was visited by a fantasy, and I came up with some original Christmas cards made of paper and other materials that you can quickly and easily make with your own hands for a competition or just for kindergarten and school.

Very soon the New Year, followed by the Nativity of Christ and the Baptism of the Lord. For all the holidays, you need to have time to prepare postcards, so I decided to give you a few ideas right now. These crafts for Christmas can be bought, but it is best to do it yourself.

Today, postcards will be exclusively from colored paper, cardboard and improvised means.

In order to make a DIY Christmas card, you will need:

  • White cardboard.
  • A small piece of narrow tape.
  • Green corrugated cardboard.
  • Glue with scissors.
  • Pencil or compass.

If you do not have any materials, they can be replaced, do not worry. For example, change the corrugated cardboard to a regular one or print a sheet of white paper with a green pattern. No ribbon, not a problem either, attach a few beads or buttons in its place.

DIY Christmas card from paper

  • We take white cardboard, fold it in the middle, run our hand along the fold, so you smooth out all the folds, the card will turn out beautiful and even.
  • Draw a circle in the center of the card. It can be done with a compass or a regular pencil. I circled a regular mug with a pencil.
  • We cut squares from a white sheet and green cardboard. I did not measure them, I cut them as my heart desired.
  • Now we grease the circle on the card with glue, you can use pva, you can hot.
  • We fasten the squares in a circle. Look carefully, you need to do this in an overlap.
  • In the center we place an angel. After the glue dries, circle the angel with a pencil.
  • From a green segment of a narrow satin ribbon forging a bow, we fasten it to glue.

A decorative Christmas card made of paper with an angel is ready, it is not at all difficult to make it with your own hands, as a result it turns out to be voluminous, of course, not 3d, but still very beautiful. And here is a template for this angel. I suggest you print and cut it out.

Another famous New Year's character is the snowman. Most often, he is depicted as three balls of snow, with a carrot instead of a nose and a bucket on his head. But if you approach the process creatively and show imagination, you can achieve a more interesting effect. For example:

  • We take the finished postcard with the image of a snowman and cut it into different strips. From them we add an application in the form of a Christmas tree.

  • We make a snowman from a paper fan.
  • We make a Christmas character using the quilling technique.
  • Instead of a bucket, we put a hat on the snowman's head and dress him in a suit.

These are just a few of the most popular options. You can safely think of how to arrange postcards and surprise your relatives with them. Ready-made figurines of New Year's characters are glued to the base from which the postcard is made.
