New Year's card with a snowman step by step

Making a snowman

Use a template or draw a snowman yourself, consisting of two circles, where the bottom larger size, and the top one is smaller. The upper part of the upper circle should be cut off.

Using your own or the provided template, cut out 5 blanks from white paper.

Fold each of them in half.

Now you need to glue all the blanks together. Apply glue to one side of the folded piece and glue the other to it.

Glue all 5 parts in exactly the same way, carefully adjusting the edges so that the snowman is as complete and neat as possible.

Making a cylinder

Now cut out 5 cylinders according to the template.

Fold each one in half. And then glue it together, just like the snowman.

The voluminous snowman and top hat are ready. They are not yet glued to the base, so they can later be positioned as you please.

Making a broom

If desired, you can make a broom for the snowman. To do this, fold brown paper into a thin tube. Then cut a strip of yellow paper and cut its wide edge into thin strips.

Finally, wrap the yellow fringed strip around the brown tube.

What could a postcard with a snowman look like?

All the parts of the snowman are ready, now you can make a postcard. You will need cardboard. You can cut a rectangle out of it, a little larger than a snowman, and glue it in the center of the snowman, a hat on top, add a broom, draw eyes, a smile, and buttons with a black felt-tip pen. Decorate the card itself with snowflakes or any desired decor. You can also fold the cardboard in half, glue a snowman on top, and write a congratulation in the middle.

Another great option for decorating a card with a snowman is to fold the cardboard in half, having previously decided on the height and width. And then glue the snowman to the very center, in the fold area. Due to the fact that the snowman and his hat are folded in half, they fit perfectly into the fold, and the card can be opened and closed without any problems. The rest of the card area can be decorated as you wish.

In stores today you can find New Year's cards for every taste. But the editors website believes that homemade ones are much warmer. After all, when we make something for someone with our own hands, we put our love into it.

Below we have collected ideas for beautiful, original and, most importantly, “quick” New Year’s cards, the creation of which does not require any rare materials - beautiful paper, cardboard, and colorful ribbons and buttons lying around the house.

Volumetric Christmas trees

Volumetric Christmas trees made of white and colored paper are so simple to make that you can make them at the last moment. Read more on the Bog&ide blog.

Making 3D Christmas trees even faster. All you need is a ruler, sharp scissors and cardboard. This blog shows you how to cut them.

Penguin

We really liked this penguin, well thought out. You will need black and white cardstock (or white paper), an orange paper triangle, and 2 miniature snowflakes, which we all know how to cut out. The eyes are, of course, the highlight of the postcard, and you will have to look for them at a hobby store (or tear them off from an unnecessary children's toy, with the consent of the children, of course).

Gifts

This cute and simple card requires 2 sheets of cardstock, a ruler, scissors and glue. And also pieces wrapping paper, which you have left over from gift wrapping, ribbon and ribbon. The manufacturing principle is very simple, but for those who want more details, we recommend taking a look at this blog.

Santa Claus

A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. The red hat and pink face are strips of paper pasted onto a card or gift bag. The fur of the hat and beard are made like this: you need to take drawing paper and just tear off the strips the desired shape to create jagged edges. Place on the card over the red and pink stripes. And then draw two squiggles - a mouth and a nose - and two dots - eyes.

Simple drawings

An irresistible idea in its elegance - to draw with a black gel pen Christmas balls with patterns. The main thing here is to draw the correct circles and mark the lines for the patterns. Everything else won't be difficult - stripes and squiggles that you draw when you're bored.

The same principle that underlies the postcard with black and white balloons. Simple silhouettes, painted with simple patterns, this time in color - best done with felt-tip pens. Warm and very cute.

Many, many different Christmas trees

This is where patterned paper or cardboard left over from children's crafts or wrapping paper for gifts will come in handy. The Christmas trees are sewn in the center - this is not at all necessary, you can glue them on. But if you really want to, you first need to make holes with a thick needle along a ruler, and then sew with thread in 2 rows - up and down, so that there are no gaps left. Draw a snowball with white gouache.

Laconic and stylish idea- a grove of Christmas trees, one of which is glued to foam double-sided tape (and therefore rises above the rest) and decorated with a star.

This card requires 4 or 3 layers of cardboard (you can do without the red one). You can use paper rather than cardboard as a color layer. In the top, white one, cut out a Christmas tree (a stationery knife will do a good job with this) and glue it with double-sided tape for volume.

A round dance of Christmas trees made from various leftover cardboard, scrapbooking paper, and wrapping paper, tied with a simple ribbon and decorated with a button. Try playing with colors and textures - here you can find an incredible number of options using different colored ribbons, paper and even fabric.

Wonderful watercolor so in the spirit of New Year and Christmas! A simple watercolor sketch can be done by anyone, even those who last painted in school years. First, you need to outline the patterns with a pencil, color them, and when dry, carefully erase the pencil sketches and complete the patterns with a felt-tip pen.

Winter landscape

For this card it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Using sharp scissors, cut out the snowy landscape and moon and paste it onto a black or dark blue background.

Another, white-green, option for a winter landscape that will take a little more time. If you find velvety cardboard (remember, back in school they made crafts out of this), it will be great; if not, you can simply color the Christmas trees with a felt-tip pen. Snow - polystyrene foam disassembled into peas. You can also use a hole punch to make circles out of cardboard and glue them to the card.

Hugging snowman

Snowmen peering inquisitively into the starry sky will look better if you can find a bright ribbon for a scarf.

For that postcard on the left, You need unpainted cardboard, white drawing paper and foam tape to glue the snowman with. Drifts are made simply: you need to tear off the drawing paper so that you get a ragged wavy edge. Fill it in with a blue pencil and blend it with anything, even with your finger or a piece of paper. Also tint the edges of the snowman for volume. For the second You will need buttons, a piece of fabric, eyes, glue and colored markers.

You will want to keep this card for a long time. All you need are circles made of cardboard, a nose and twigs made of colored paper. All this must be assembled using double-sided bulk tape. Draw eyes and buttons with black paint, and a snowball with white gouache or watercolor.

Balloons

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbon. But the balls are so a win-win, what can you allow yourself to fantasize about: make balls from paper with a pattern, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut from a newspaper or a glossy magazine. And you can simply draw the strings.

Another option is to stick paper with a pattern on the inside of the card, and cut out circles on the outside with a sharp stationery knife.

Volumetric balls

For each of these balls you will need 3-4 identical circles of different colors. Fold each one in half and glue the halves to each other, and the two outer halves to the paper. Another option is colored stars or Christmas trees.

Multi-colored balls

Wonderful translucent balls are obtained using a regular eraser on a pencil. It’s worth starting with a pencil to outline the outline of the ball. Then dip the eraser into the paint and leave marks on the paper. Fun and beautiful.

Cards with buttons

Bright buttons will add volume to the cards, and will also evoke subtle associations with childhood.

The main thing is to find buttons of interesting colors, but the rest is up to you - to “hang” them on the Christmas tree, on a branch with cute owls, or on newspaper clouds.

The tradition of giving gifts to family and friends is very old and good. On New Year's Eve, you can buy ready-made New Year's cards in stores for every taste. But better and more enjoyable give a handmade card. Making cards with children is a pleasant pastime and development creativity children.

Little children really like to make crafts and they will be happy to help you; older children, following our instructions and step-by-step instructions, will be able to make this card themselves.

We will tell you how to make a postcard with a whole round dance of figures - snowmen, rogue bunnies, nesting dolls, dolls. Let them dance together in the postcard.

Merry New Year's card with your own hands

To make a postcard you need:

Thick paper (cardboard);

Colored paper;

Scissors;

Paints, gouache;

Glue and brushes;

Napkins (to remove excess glue).

Making a three-dimensional New Year's card with snowmen

1. Prepare white thick paper measuring 16X24 cm. Glue blue paper onto it along the central fold.

2. Fold in half along long side white paper size 10X20 cm. Divide the outer sides in half with a dotted line and bend the edges towards the central fold. It turned out to be a small accordion.

3. Let's draw a snowman on the accordion.

4. Cut out the snowman without unfolding the accordion. (Attention: do not cut all the pieces on the folds to create a single chain.)

5. Let’s unfold the accordion on the table.

6. Let's color the buckets and scarves for the snowmen.

7. Apply glue to the back of the first and last snowman. Glue the outer snowmen to the card so that the fold lines of the card and the central snowmen coincide.

8. You can glue clouds to the postcard. They are cut from an accordion folded in four.

9. Close the card by bending the un-glued snowmen forward. We unfold the postcard - snowmen (clouds and snowdrifts) move forward.

❄ We’ll make a beautiful inscription on the outside of the postcard:

“Congratulations!” or "Happy New Year!"

Decorate the card with snowflakes (draw or glue tiny pieces of cotton wool).

❄ If you draw a flower, a bunny or a house on an accordion, you will get a “summer” postcard.

DIY paper “Snowman” postcard: description of production in step-by-step photos

Step 1. Making the base for a card with a snowman.

Cut a sheet of white A4 cardboard or landscape paper into 2 equal parts. Fold 1/2 sheet of cardboard in half.

Step 2. Making a frame.

1/4 sheet of paper of blue color reduce by cutting 1.5 - 2 cm on both sides (the amount depends on how white you want to leave the frame).

Using a corner hole punch, punch out the corners on blue paper.

Apply glue to the underside of the edges of the blue paper and stick it onto the white cardboard so that there is a white frame on all sides.

Step 3. Making a snowman template.

Cut cardboard according to the size of the postcard (from a notebook cover or from a box of chocolates), on which to mark two circles with a compass: the top one is slightly smaller in size than the bottom one, or circle any two round objects. IN in this case the diameter of the top circle is 4.5 cm, the bottom one is 5.5 cm. Cut out two circles, getting a shape in the form of a number 8 inside the cardboard.

You will get a sheet of cardboard with a hole in the shape of a number 8 inside (our snowman template).

Place the template on the postcard blank.

Step 4. Draw a snowman.

Attach the cardboard template to the card with paper clips. Dip a sponge or piece of foam rubber into white paint and stamp it on the blue paper inside the circles, leaving the very top part, where the snowman’s hat will be, unpainted.

Step 5. Let's see what we got.

Remove the template from the postcard. This is what you got.

Step 6. Draw snowdrifts.

Similarly, apply white paint around the snowman - these are snowdrifts. You can press the sponge stick harder to imprint a white circle - snow lumps.

Step 7. Draw the snowman's hat.

Draw a hat with a lapel and a pompom in a bright color.

Step 8. Decorate the snowman's face.

Draw the nose – the carrot – in orange. Mark the mouth with black paint, and use an ear stick to put two dots - the eyes.

Step 9. Draw the scarf.

Paint a scarf and fringe with bright paint. And draw stripes with several lines of black paint.

Step 10. Draw handles and buttons.

Using dark green paint and using an ear stick, put 3 dots on the bottom circle of the snowman - these are buttons. And use brown paint with a thin brush to paint handles - brooms.

We admire, our snowman is ready!

Of course, you can choose the colors yourself! Instead of a hat, you can draw a bucket, a pan, a hat with earflaps, a beret, a cap - this is your creativity!

This is what happened to Nastya, 7 years old

Or you can decorate the corners of the card with shiny stickers - there are a lot of them on sale now and such a variety!

Creative task:

— Learn any poem about a snowman. Draw a snowman and design a New Year's card. What is the personality of your snowman? How did you portray his mood in your card?

— You already know several ways to draw trees. Draw winter tree. Make several snowman templates in different sizes and draw a winter landscape with snowmen under a tree on another card.
