Photo. 40+ more DIY New Year's card ideas for inspiration
Even a modest souvenir accompanied by a beautiful handmade postcard will be an excellent gift. Such a postcard will not only convey warm regards, but will also be an excellent home decor. We are sharing ways to make amazing New Year cards easily and simply.
1. Almost knitted card
You can put the leftover knitting yarn to work by making a DIY New Year's card out of it. Cut out a triangle from cardboard that will become a Christmas tree, generously coat it with glue and wrap it with colored thread. The more colors of yarn you use, the better. Then glue the Christmas tree onto a regular card and decorate it further if desired.
2. Contrasting textile applique
Pieces of brightly colored fabrics are useful for creating cards. Choose textiles that will not crumble. Cut out simple figures from fabric - Christmas trees, Christmas balls, animals - and glue them onto a white card. Contrasting color combinations look most impressive.
3. Balls and ribbons
Using ribbons in decoration is a win-win solution for those who want to create a festive mood. Draw the outlines of a New Year's ball on paper or lay it out using glued beads, and place a bow tied from a narrow ribbon in the upper part. The presence of three-dimensional elements makes the decorative card very original.
4. Christmas tree with voluminous branches
Roll thin tubes from multi-colored paper. Lubricate one of the edges with glue so that it does not unfold. Then glue the tubes different lengths on a postcard. The postcard with a three-dimensional Christmas tree is ready.
5. Laconic stripes
Fans of minimalism will appreciate a discreet but effective card, where Christmas tree branches are made from strips of paper. The only decoration of such a postcard is the decorative stitch on the paper branches and the frame along the edges of its front part.
6. Fragrant message
A card that not only looks great, but also smells great - really... pleasant surprise. Use cinnamon or vanilla sticks as the basis for a decorative composition, surrounding them with New Year's tinsel, beads, and pictures.
7. Winter lace
Lace white becomes snow-covered Christmas tree branches, and the sequins glued to it become New Year's balls. For the background, use paper of any pastel shade or textured fabric, such as burlap.
8. Simple drawing
Even a simple drawing on a New Year's card can look impressive. In order for the card to look noble, pay special attention to the accuracy of its application. We also recommend using rough craft or snow-white glossy paper.
9. Sewing on paper
An easy way to make a card three-dimensional is to sew on any paper shape with one seam running through the center and bend its edges. You can also use several figures of the same shape, stitching them with a common seam, and gluing one of them as a background. Then the image will be even more voluminous.
10. With quilling elements
Quilling is the art of creating decorative compositions from strips of paper. It will not be possible to fully master it in a couple of days before the New Year, but it is quite possible to apply certain techniques in the decor of a postcard. Circles of twisted narrow strips of paper become Christmas balls, and the Christmas tree is a green curved line drawn on a card.
11. Combination of several different textures
Another simple way to diversify the usual appliqué is to use materials with a different texture. For example, knitted fabric, cardboard, regular thin paper. Then, despite the simple shape of the elements, the postcard will look non-trivial.
12. Eye-catching contrasts
It is not at all necessary to use white paper as the base of the card and make the applique bright. Do the opposite, and the decorative composition will sparkle with new colors.
13. Either an inscription or a drawing
To apply inscriptions and designs, choose paint that contrasts with the paper base. The more intricate and decorative the inscription, the better. Don't forget to surround it with small, simple designs.
14. Lovely landscape
A simple landscape applique will become a real decoration for a New Year’s card. Complete it with voluminous elements - cotton wool imitating snow, beads, sequins, and even chains. This DIY New Year's card looks very cozy.
15. Elegant brutality
On thick, richly colored paper, make holes along the outline of the triangle. Pull the threads between them in a chaotic manner. You shouldn’t make too many stitches - our New Year’s card is valuable for its brevity.
16. Maximum shine
Draw a Christmas tree on paper and generously coat it with silicone glue. Then add sparkles and beads. After drying, you can glue a thick thread along the contour. This DIY New Year's card will sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow.
17. Paper snowmen
The basis for the snowman card is white paper folded several times. Lubricate it a little with glue so that the snowman holds its shape. From the leftover fabric, make a hat and scarf for the snowman, and draw his face.
18. Second life of old buttons
In every home there are many buttons that are no longer needed, but it’s a shame to throw them away. On the eve of the New Year holidays, buttons will come in handy. Glued onto a postcard, they become New Year's balls. Complete the composition with a simple inscription. Your DIY New Year's card is ready.
When gifts for loved ones are ready, it’s time to think about decorating your own home. Don't forget
On the eve of the New Year, we are increasingly thinking about gifts that we can make for our family and loved ones with our own hands. These are the times when handmade is a luxury. This is individuality. It's not like others. This is an opportunity for self-expression in creativity. Handmade gifts are more valuable than store-bought ones. It’s a pity that there are fewer and fewer gold pens in the world, and not everyone can and wants to create a miracle with their own hands. If you want and are able, we will be happy to show you a master class of a very beautiful postcard with a Christmas tree, which can be a great New Year's gift from you to someone.
Any paper from the scrub set or colored paper or even plain white printing paper and cardstock will work for making a card. You also need scissors and glue. Using white paper as an example, we’ll show you how easy it is to make beautiful postcard with a New Year tree.
We cut out 5 squares of different sizes from paper: 12x12 10x10 8x8 6x6 4x4cm. Fold each one in half. Fold the top corners towards the middle. You will get 5 volumetric triangles.
We fold a sheet of cardboard in half - this is the base of the postcard. Glue the triangles from top to bottom on top of each other, starting with the smallest one. Glue a star to the top of the tree.
Improvise, and your handmade card will become one and only!
Ideas for postcards with a three-dimensional Christmas tree
The simplest thing is to make 4 slits of different lengths, bend them and voila - the Christmas tree is ready!

I come with gifts, I shine with bright lights,
Elegant, funny, for the New Year I am in charge. (Christmas tree)
There was a Christmas tree in the snow -
Green bangs,
Resinous,
healthy,
One and a half meters.
An event occurred
One winter day:
The forester decided to cut it down! -
So it seemed to her.
She was noticed
Was surrounded...
And only late in the evening
She came to her senses.
What a strange feeling!
The fear has disappeared somewhere...
Glass lanterns
They burn in its branches.
Jewelry sparkles -
What an elegant look!
At the same time, without a doubt,
She is standing in the forest.
Not cut down! Whole!
Beautiful and strong!..
Who saved her, who undressed her?
Forester's son!
Mikhalkov Sergey

For the next version of the postcard we will need green paper. Cut out a large triangle.
Fold the triangle like an accordion.
Glue only the top and bottom parts of the Christmas tree onto the background. We decorate it to your taste, dress it up. We paste the work onto colored cardboard to form a frame. Our third version of the Christmas tree is ready.

1. DIY New Year cards (“Christmas tree”)
The New Year tree is an indispensable attribute of the holiday. Therefore, postcards with her image will be especially appropriate. Plus, these cards can be very easy to make.
The New Year's tree applique can be made from plain or multi-colored strips of paper. Even a small child can make this New Year's craft with his own hands.
Strips of paper can be replaced with colored tape or braid. They also make very beautiful New Year's cards.
A more complicated option is a New Year's card "Christmas tree" made from paper tubes. This original three-dimensional postcard for the New Year "Christmas tree" is made of paper straws. The Christmas tree is decorated with multi-colored buttons. Its trunk is made from a twig. To make this New Year's card, it is advisable to use special scrapbooking paper or corrugated cardboard.
It’s very easy to make a Christmas tree applique using store-bought stickers. Even a two-year-old can do this craft for the New Year with his own hands.
Simple and effective - homemade New Year's cards "Christmas tree" from ordinary buttons.
You can also embroider a Christmas tree with threads. Only in this case, the New Year's card should be made of high-density paper or cardboard. The holes must first be carefully made with an awl. The simplest option Christmas tree see photo below.
More difficult option for New Year's cards with a Christmas tree made of threads, see here >>>> To make this New Year's craft with your own hands, you will also need sequins or beads.
By the way, you can embroider not only a Christmas tree with threads, but also something else, New Year’s. For example, this cute deer.
You can make an original DIY New Year's card from a fern leaf or any other plant similar to it. For example, cypress branches. Just take the top of the leaf and glue it onto the card. This will be a Christmas tree. All you have to do is decorate it with sequins or confetti made using a hole punch from colored paper. Instead of confetti, you can glue multi-colored pieces of plasticine to the Christmas tree. Even a child can do this part of the work of making a homemade New Year’s card.
You can make a New Year's card either from a whole leaf of fern, or just from its upper part.
The technique for making volumetric Christmas trees is similar to the manufacturing method New Year's balls. See the link >>>> But you don’t need to glue them completely, instead glue the Christmas trees onto the card.
Option 3.
Do-it-yourself voluminous New Year's card. To make such a voluminous card with a Christmas tree for the New Year, you will need three square sheets of green paper: large, medium and small. Also, in order to make a Christmas tree trunk, you will need a rectangular sheet of brown paper.
Fold each square piece of paper in half first (horizontally and vertically) to mark the center lines. Then fold them two more times diagonally. After this, fold each sheet into a pyramid (see photos 3 and 4). Glue a Christmas tree from the resulting pyramids by inserting them into each other. How to make a trunk for a Christmas tree is shown in photos (8, 9 and 10). Finally, glue the Christmas tree to your New Year's card.
Option 4.
Do-it-yourself voluminous postcard for the New Year. Making this voluminous paper card is much easier than it might seem at first glance. First you will need to cut out 5 halves of circles of different sizes from green paper: large, smaller, even smaller, etc. Fold each half of the circle in half, then in half again, and in half again. Unfold each piece and form accordion folds (see photo).
Now insert one piece into another and glue them together along the three central folds.
For the trunk, cut out of paper brown rectangle and also fold it like an accordion.
Glue your paper Christmas tree onto the card base. The easiest way to make snowflakes is from white paper using a hole punch or by drawing cotton swab.
Option 5.
Very beautiful New Year's craft with your own hands, accessible in complexity to a preschooler - a voluminous New Year's card "Christmas tree". The Christmas tree is made of rectangular strips of paper folded like an accordion. But there is one nuance here. If you look closely at the photo, you will see that the tiers of the Christmas tree are made of strips of paper of different widths: the ones at the bottom are the widest, the closer to the top the narrower. In addition, the depth of the fold of the accordion is also different. The bottom strips of paper are folded into an accordion with a large "step". The higher you go to the top, the shallower the bend depth.
Here are two more voluminous cards with a New Year tree made from a triangular-shaped sheet of paper folded like an accordion. Simple and tasteful!
Option 6.
Another voluminous New Year's card. Again, this New Year's craft for children is attractive not only in appearance, but also in its ease of manufacture.

We would like to introduce you to another interesting technique for making New Year’s cards with your own hands. The Christmas tree and New Year's ball in the photo below are made using this technique.
To make a Christmas tree card, you will need:
Red cardboard sheet
- a sheet of colored origami paper (on one side - dark green,
on the other side - light green)
- scissors or a special knife for cutting paper
- glue
Print a stencil on a piece of green origami paper. Make cuts along the lines on it. Where the trunk of the Christmas tree is located, cut out a piece of paper completely. If you fold a sheet of paper in half before making cuts, you can cut it with scissors. In this case, even a preschooler will be able to make a postcard. If you want to avoid a fold in the center of the card, then it is better to make cuts with a special knife for cutting paper. Now all you have to do is fold the corners back and stick your workpiece onto the cardboard.
The "New Year's Ball" card is made in the same way. The stencil for making this original New Year's card can be downloaded from the link >>>>
The snowflakes from the section were made using the same technique. They can also decorate a New Year's card.

Now cut out and fold your New Year's card in half. If you want to write inside New Year's greetings, then glue an additional sheet of green paper so that the letters do not show through the holes.

The last card with which we would like to complete our review of DIY New Year cards is the three-dimensional “Snow Globe” postcard. In the photo below it is shown on the left side. This Christmas card is made using a clear dairy lid. You will find a master class on how to make such original three-dimensional postcards on Veronica Podgornaya’s website.
These two postcards were made by the author of the blog Naftusina's hand-made art. A snowdrift and a cloud are cut out of felt. Christmas tree and bear - figured buttons. There are white beads sprinkled inside the card. The postcard looks incredible! You shake it and it snows! On this site you will find two more interesting DIY New Year cards. Santa Claus and the Snowman are hurrying through the snowy snowdrifts. The snowdrifts and cloud are cut out of felt, the characters are made from buttons and felt, the tree is a real twig, which is slightly pasted over with pieces of padding polyester, snowflakes are drawn with a helium pen.
