Do-it-yourself Christmas cards for children

New Year is a holiday that inspires a variety of creative feats. Both adults and children want to decorate the house, make original crafts. Creation of all kinds of postcards will be an especially simple and inexpensive solution in terms of money and time. So, we make Christmas cards for children with our own hands.

You can spend a very good and useful evening with your child by creating a joint postcard. For children it will be both fun and serious work at the same time. Of course, you can also make New Year's cards for children yourself. But it is difficult to imagine an adult who alone would devote himself to such an occupation, although if there is a need for this, then this kind of creativity can be afforded on the eve of the New Year. But it is wiser and more fun to do it together with children. First you need to stock up on everything you need.

You will need the following tools and materials:

• scissors;
• ruler;
• glue or glue stick;
• simple pencil and eraser;
• paints, colored pencils, markers;
• colored paper of all kinds: glossy, matte, holographic, glitter, velvet;
• colored and white cardboard;
• decor elements: sequins, sequins, beads, ribbons, spruce branches and small cones, beautiful buttons, New Year's tinsel.

These are just a few things - the most essential. You can use any elements in creating postcards. Anything that your fantasy tells you will do. The main thing is to decide on the plot and think over the general idea, since it should be not only festive, but also beautiful.

Any postcard starts with a foundation. For her you need to take cardboard - colored or white. Everything will depend on the idea.Applications can be placed on colored cardboard, pictures can be drawn on white.

Children's paper cards for the New Year can have a wide variety of plots. It can be Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden, deer with sleighs, Christmas trees, balls, snowflakes. In shape and design, there can be single or double folding postcards with three-dimensional pictures. But it's better to start with the simplest.

The most important attribute of the New Year is herringbone. And it is very simple to make it. To do this, you need to take a white sheet of cardboard, the background can be drawn with colored pencils. But you can take a colored sheet, for example, silver or gold.

Then green triangles are cut out of colored paper (you can take velvet or shiny). The number of triangles depends on the height of the spruce. Let's say there are five of them.

The next step would be gluing triangles to cardboard. After that, you can glue a brown barrel (a small strip of paper) at the bottom, or you can do without it.

Then decorations are placed on the tree.

But there is another way to decorate the tree. You can choose sequins that will be balls, beads are suitable as garlands. The tree will turn out to be very beautiful.

Next, you need to arrange a postcard inside. To do this, stick a piece of white paper cut with curly scissors. There will be a congratulation on it, which can be written with felt-tip pens or letters cut out of colored paper.

The very basis of the postcard can be made in any shape. It can be in the form of a Christmas tree, a house, a ball. The cover can be designed at your own discretion, and inside you can place a congratulation with wishes.
