8. New Year paper crafts. New Year cards made in the technique of iris folding
Original New Year's cards using the iris folding technique are offered by the Land of Masters website. The name of this technique - iris folding - can be translated as "rainbow folding". The drawing is filled with thin paper strips, which, superimposed on each other at a certain angle, create an interesting effect of a twisting spiral.
The name of this technique - iris folding - can be translated as "rainbow folding". The drawing is filled with thin paper strips, which, overlapping each other at a certain angle, create an interesting effect of a twisting spiral. - a template based on a triangle, which you can build yourself or print ready-made. For gluing, use a glue stick.
First, get acquainted with the technique of building an iris pattern. For this work, the template is built on the basis of a triangle with a base of 14 cm and a height of 16 cm. The step is 1 cm. These dimensions can be changed at your discretion.
- Cut strips of paper in three colors. The width of the strip should be twice the pitch, plus an allowance of 2-4 mm. For our step, the width of the strip is 22-24 mm. The very first stripes should be a little wider, as they cover the outer contours of the Christmas tree. It is difficult to calculate how many bands you need right away. It is better to cut them in the process of doing the job.
- Fold each strip in half lengthwise.
- Cut out five strips for the trunk of different shades in the size of 35x20 mm. Fold them in half.
- Draw a Christmas tree silhouette on the cardboard. Carefully cut it out using a utility knife or scissors. Draw or print the iris pattern.
- Lay the cardboard on the template with the wrong side. The cut-out silhouette can be a bit more template. Secure the template, for example, with paper clips. All work will be done from the inside out.
- Do the stem first. Lightly grease the area of cardboard around the slot on the right side with glue. Glue the first strip. The fold line on the strip should line up with the line on the template. To glue the second strip, you can glue the cardboard on top, bottom and the previous strip with glue. To prevent the strips from opening, they can be slightly glued in some places. Sometimes this technique does not use glue, but small pieces of adhesive tape, which fix the strips along the edges.
- Fill the entire trunk with stripes.
- Take the longest and widest strip. Just put it to work first. The fold line should be along the first line of the iris template. If the strip is too long, cut it. Glue the strip, smearing a little glue on the cardboard along the edges of the slot.
- Glue a strip of a different color so that it matches the rightmost line of the template.
- Glue the third strip from the bottom along the bottom border of the template.
- Prepare the next strip of the first color. First, attach, measure the desired length, cut, then glue. Glue smear not a strip, but the places of gluing! Use a little glue, just to make the strip “grab”.
- Glue the second strip of the second color, aligning it with the next pattern line.
- Glue the second strip of the third color along the next line. Continue gluing in the same order. Strictly clockwise, strictly alternating the selected colors. Each time the stripes will become shorter and shorter. At the end, small scraps cut off at the very beginning will go into action. When a small empty triangle remains at the end, cover it with a piece of paper in one of the three colors.
Now you can flip the work and admire the result. You can glue garlands and decorate the Christmas tree as you wish. We made these and other Christmas trees at the master class on 12/13/2007 in about one hour. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Making a New Year greetings card is not difficult, and this article provides some ideas for creating holiday cards for the New Year for children and adults.
Bright Christmas tree
New Year is associated, first of all, with a beautifully dressed forest beauty-herringbone. A fluffy Christmas tree is the central attribute of the winter festivities. So why not decorate your holiday card with this traditional New Year symbol?
To make a greeting card decorated with a colorful Christmas tree, you only need paper.
Advice. To make the postcard more original, it is best to use paper with a different pattern.
Make a semicircular paper blank, fold it, focusing on the picture. You should get something like a fan.
The second option is to make “branches” out of paper and glue the paper parts together, otherwise they will open up. To decorate the top of the Christmas tree, glue a small star or bead to the top.

A slide of presents
It is not difficult to implement this creative idea, and the joy of receiving such a wonderful postcard will be genuine.
Take a bright paper sheet, preferably with a pattern, and fold it in half. Mark three squares with a ruler (each subsequent one should be slightly larger than the previous one). The squares will serve as gift boxes. Using scissors, make cuts (not completely) at the top and bottom: this will make the drawers voluminous.
Decorate the boxes as you wish. The original congratulatory present is ready.
Unusual Christmas trees and a button snowman

You will need:

To create a paper tree, cut out a triangular blank, make the top long. Decorate the Christmas tree with two small bows from thin ribbon white. To decorate the top, use a snowflake with sparkles.
On a note! To make the Christmas tree elegant, use snow-white paper with a pattern.
Even more unusual is the Christmas tree, made of paper circles of different colors, differing in size. Details in the form of circles are glued to the base, creating an imitation of a Christmas tree.
The top of the Christmas tree on the card is crowned with a star.

This idea will allow you to make a baby card featuring an adorable button snowman. Take three buttons (they should differ in size). One button should be especially small and always with two holes (instead of eyes).
Glue the buttons one above the other, put a hat (for example, a paper bucket) on the snowman's head and tie a thread scarf to him.
Next to the snowman, draw snowflakes using a blue felt-tip pen. Tie a bright ribbon at the top of the card.

Using buttons, you can realize various creative ideas.
Make a button Christmas tree: beads, rhinestones or paper mugs are suitable to fill in the gaps. Buttons in one color scheme combine with decor elements of the same color.
You can decorate with buttons purchased greeting card or create your own unique masterpiece by forgoing templates.
Buttons do not have to be fixed with glue, they are also fixed with threads. Snowflakes, beads and ribbon bows are suitable for decorating a button tree.
Beautiful New Year cards, photo Not only Christmas trees are created from buttons, but also New Year's wreaths. The main thing is to choose good combination from buttons differing in size and configuration. Lubricate the bottom of each button with glue and lay them in a circle, forming a wreath, supplement it with a ribbon, gluing it to the base in the same way.
An analogue of a European postcard is ready - the composition looks festive and unusual. One wreath can consist of multi-colored buttons: feel free to create original drawings from them.

Beautiful New Year cards For manufacturing, you will need thick cardboard and a sheet of colored paper to match, an image of two socks (cut or drawn), a ribbon, beads, beads for final decoration.
If you have special scissors for cutting scallops and a hole punch, great: the tools will come in handy to make a hole for hanging our crafts.
We cut out a wide strip from paper, draw a cut line with scallops, and glue it. We sign a congratulation and glue the cut out socks. We decorate their lapels with beads or beads.
Through the hole made by the hole punch, stretch the tape and tie a knot.
For connoisseurs of minimalism
Those who like minimalism will appreciate the following idea: take thin emerald ribbons of different widths and fasten them one on top of the other using beads or colored buttons.
After performing simple manipulations, you will receive an unusual postcard.
Living Christmas Tree
Attach the stick to the paper base and tie ribbons of different lengths to it: they will serve as spreading branches of the spruce. Decorate the top with a miniature star.

scrapbooking
Do you want to create your own greeting card with an exclusive design, the likes of which you will not find in the store? Use the scrapbooking technique.
To make this craft, you will need the following materials:
- thick multi-colored paper sheets (preferably cardboard);
- scrapbooking paper (can be ordered in the online store);
- glue;
- pencil;
- decor elements.
First of all, decide on the size of the future Christmas tree and, depending on this, using scrapbooking paper, make rectangular blanks that differ in width.
Using a pencil, twist the rectangular blanks, forming tubes, and fix them with glue so that they do not unwind.
The resulting tubes should be glued together, starting with the longest. Glue the tube Christmas tree to the cardboard base. Decorate as you wish.
New Year cards, scrapbooking: photo Quilling card with the symbol of the coming year
Respect the patron of the coming year - the Fire Cockerel - and decorate the card with his image.
This requires the following materials:
- stripes of different colors for quilling;
- stationery glue;
- cardboard (for the base);
- ready-made stencil or pencil for drawing the outline;
- sequins and other embellishments.
On cardboard you need to create an image of a bird. Twist the quilling strips and, using a little glue to keep them from untwisting, form the desired configuration. Having prepared the details, “assemble” the image of the rooster by gluing them to the base.
Remember the bright plumage of a rooster and give the craft chic by decorating it with sequins, feathers and other decorations.
Don't forget to write warm wishes inside the card.
DIY creative Happy New Year cards Postcard with embroidery
Another way to decorate a New Year's card is embroidery.
For this you need simple materials:
- cardboard;
- multi-colored threads for knitting;
- needle;
- printed words or image;
- scotch;
- small details for decoration.
Fold the cardboard in half. Paste a set of words or an image according to New Year theme: You can temporarily fix it with tape at the base. Carefully use a needle to make holes along the outline of the letters or image.
To create an appliqué, use threads of different colors.
Advice! First, "draw" the contours, and then move on to decorating the inside.
Decorate the finished craft with ribbon bows or beads.
Consider another option for creating a postcard with a thread application, but it will look completely different.
To create a thread postcard, you will need:
- a thick sheet of paper (preferably colored) or cardboard;
- PVA glue;
- thick multi-colored threads;
- scissors;
- sequins.
Fold the cardboard sheet in half. Cut the threads into pieces, but with different length(from smallest to largest or vice versa). Attach the threads with glue to the base (the longest one is glued, the next ones are smaller, and so on). The order of alternating colors is not critical.
Glue two small pieces of thread (identical length) at the bottom of the postcard: they will serve as a trunk for the tree.
It remains to decorate the thread tree with sequins.
geometric herringbone
Here is another example of an original postcard with a Christmas tree. To create it, you need a thick paper sheet (very beautiful card it will turn out if one of its sides is white, and the second, for example, light green), a printed image of a Christmas tree, a clerical knife. If there was no printout of the drawing, you will need a pencil, as well as a ruler.
Fold the paper sheet in half (the green side should be wrong side). Using a pencil, draw a triangle (under the ruler, this is easiest to do, in this case the triangle will turn out to be even). Divide the inner part of the triangle into small triangles - it is important that they are the same.
Using a utility knife, carefully cut through the triangles without touching the base.
Turn the triangles down from the front of the card.
"Herringbone accordion"
The principle of creating a congratulatory New Year's card "Herringbone-accordion" is quite simple, and for this you will need:
- cardboard;
- a sheet of green paper;
- scissors;
- decor elements;
- office glue.
Fold the cardboard in half - it will serve as the basis for the postcard. From a green paper sheet (you can take any other color you like), make six rectangular parts of identical width, but with different heights (each subsequent part should differ in height by 15-20 mm).
Form an accordion from each rectangular fragment. Try to make the harmonica proportional and identical for all parts.
Fold each of the resulting accordions in half and stick them on the inside of the card along the fold line, starting from the bottom and moving up.
On a note! The largest harmonica is glued first, and the smallest one is last.
The final touch is the decoration of the “Christmas tree-accordion”. Complete the composition with congratulatory inscriptions. Nice words- it's always nice.
Greeting cards with felt Christmas trees
To create a greeting card decorated with felt Christmas trees, in addition to multi-colored felt, you will need scissors, stationery glue, and thick paper.
Make trapezoidal and triangular-shaped parts from felt fabric, differing in volume and color.
Stick the fragments on the base and decorate with sparkles and congratulatory inscriptions.
There is nothing difficult in making homemade cards with congratulations for the New Year. Try to make such crafts with your own hands: the creative process is exciting, and needlework will give you a lot of pleasure and allow you to please others with unusual postcards.
Combine the suggested ideas with your own creative ideas, and you will make unique New Year cards that keep your hands warm and uplifting.
