With the advent of New Year's holidays, many children begin to dream of gifts that they will find under the green beauty. To do this, they write letters to Santa Claus. To send a message, you need an envelope. How to make a festive envelope with your own hands will be discussed in this article.

In order to make your own envelope for Santa Claus, you need to prepare certain tools and materials in advance. It is important that the resulting product is beautiful, because Santa Claus should like it. You can, of course, find ready-made templates, choose the option you like. In this case, the selected template is printed on a color printer and the workpiece is carefully cut out using scissors. Next, you should bend it along the fold line, fold and glue it.

To make a DIY craft, you will need the following materials:

• A4 sheets of paper;
• colored paper;
• PVA glue or glue stick;
• felt-tip pens and pencils;
• decorative elements.

It is impossible to imagine the New Year without a festive atmosphere. Everything connected with this magical holiday is usually decorated. Congratulatory letters to Grandfather Frost, envelopes for money are also paid attention to. To make a beautiful New Year's envelope, just find the option you like and print it or make it yourself using diagrams and templates.

To create a product yourself, you need:

• take a sheet of paper in A-4 format;
• cut off 7 cm on each side to make a rhombus;
• connect all the corners of the rhombus in the middle;
• fasten three corners, and bend the remaining one;
• glue the bond lines with PVA glue or decorative tape.

You can take white paper and paint it yourself with winter patterns. They also use ready-made templates. Such blanks can be of different shapes and sizes. You can print not only a congratulatory envelope, but also an insert letter to it.

Usually, such options are made bright, decorating them with decor, sparkles or tinsel. Drawn snowflakes, Christmas trees, animal figures can often be seen on winter packaging.

The easiest option for making crafts for the New Year is to purchase a ready-made envelope and decorate it. You can make it in the form of a deer face or the image of Santa Claus, having cut out the necessary details in advance. To do this, glue the muzzle of a deer with antlers on a clean envelope or cut out the outline of a snowman, etc.

For holiday cards, you can use the resources at your fingertips. As a basis, you can take the wrapping paper that was left over from gifts from last year. Using a template printed on a printer, it is worth making blanks for the future envelope. In this case, pieces of lace, satin ribbons, and beautiful napkins can come in handy.

The product is folded from the available materials and a composition is made. For the bottom layer, an openwork napkin is used, decorated with lace and ribbons, and supplemented with pictures.

You can easily create a message from A4 paper. To create a masterpiece you need:

• take a white sheet or colored paper;
• using the selected template, you should print it;
• using a simple pencil, you need to transfer the sketch to the prepared sheet;
• cut out the workpiece;
• using a ruler, bend the edges of the product in the form of an envelope;
• glue.

In this case, the drawing can be either cut out of colored paper or drawn independently. You can decorate the model using the quilling or origami technique.

In the classic version, a festive envelope is made of A4 paper. But, using your imagination, you can build an unusual craft from thick fabric, leather felt or cardboard... The selected template is applied to the material, traced and cut along the contour.

You can use glue to glue the parts, but for such materials it is better to use a stronger fastener. Needlewomen can sew parts on a sewing machine with threads or sew by hand.

Adults, like children, are waiting for the approaching New Year's holidays, because this is a time of miracles and magical accomplishments. As a gift, adults are often given money. Just giving money is not entirely correct, so it is better to put it in an original envelope.

Of course, now you can buy envelopes for money in any store, but such packaging is unlikely to bring as much pleasure as a self-made craft. During work, use plain or colored paper, or choose cardboard. The product is cut out according to the template and an envelope is formed. It is desirable that it has an oblong shape. Its dimensions must correspond to the size of the notes that will fit there.

Making a New Year's envelope, you should adhere to certain rules and make products according to templates and diagrams. But you can achieve an equally good result by making a craft with your own design. Decorating such items is an important part of the workflow. For a beautiful design, you can use a lot of decorative elements. Even food and spices can be used.

You can decorate the message with shiny Christmas tree decorations, decorate with a spruce twig and fix it with decorative twine. This additional decor instantly transforms the craft. If the child is small, the parents should help the child to decorate the craft.

Even a minimal amount of decorative elements will allow you to make an original congratulatory envelope. It is enough for this purpose to take craft paper, fold it in the form of an envelope and apply a winter pattern with white paint.
