In stores today you can find New Year 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), a triangle made of orange paper 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 of wrapping paper that 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 that you take a look at this blog.

Grandfather Frost

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 the beard are obtained like this: you need to take drawing paper and simply tear off strips of the desired shape to get uneven 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 idea irresistible in its grace - to draw 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

A couple more ideas from the Bog&ide blog. For the first, you will need decorative tape or colored cardboard (with or without glitter - now you can easily buy these at an office supply store or in hobby stores). For the second - elegant straws for drinks and good glue.

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 this well) 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 colors 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 time painted with paints 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 postcard, it is better to use structured cardboard, but you can get by with regular, smooth cardboard - it will still turn out impressive. Cut with sharp scissors snowy landscape and the moon and paste it on 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

The author of the blog My kid craft made this snowman with her children. The snowman throws his arms up in joy when the card is opened. You can write your wishes inside. Children will be interested in making an applique (and painting their hands and hat), but for those who want everything to be done quickly, the blog has ready-made parts that can be printed on a color printer and simply glued together.

More snowmen

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.

Balls

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 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.

Preparing for the New Year is a pleasant bustle, anticipation of magic, creativity, winter's tale. During this period, it will be very interesting to take up drawing, because hand-made drawings will decorate the holiday no worse than toys bought in a store. The first step is to decide what to draw on New Year. And then feel free to get creative.

Christmas tree
A Christmas tree hung with toys, garlands and “rain” is one of the most important symbols winter holidays. Coniferous trees can be seen in every home - this tradition came to us from countries Western Europe and was officially approved by decree of Peter I in 1700. If you decide to draw New Year's beauty, an article that describes in detail what a Christmas tree should be like can help you

The most important guests of the New Year's celebration are, of course, Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden. True, they are known only in our latitudes - in Europe and the USA, Santa Claus and his elves come to children on winter holidays. But if you still want to draw characters such as Father Frost and Snow Maiden, then these lessons will be useful to you.

Although the fashion for toys and other decorations for the winter holidays changes from year to year, there are some things that have become a tradition. So, more and more often during the Christmas and New Year holidays you can see a Christmas wreath and a New Year's stocking in homes. And, of course, you can’t do without such holiday elements as Christmas tree decoration or garland.

The first thing all children do when they wake up on the morning of January 1 is to run to unwrap gifts. They are usually placed under the Christmas tree, but are sometimes placed in special Christmas stockings hanging over the fireplace. Both a gift and a New Year's fireplace will help you draw detailed instructions with illustrations.

Winter means snowstorms, frozen rivers and lakes, patterns on windows and, of course, snow sparkling in the sun. Playing snowballs, sledding, and of course, a snowman are indispensable entertainment for children in the cold months. You can also catch a real snowflake on a mitten and admire it, because each of us knows how beautiful and graceful the most ordinary snowflake can be.

Winter is not only frosts and cold winds, but also beautiful snowy landscapes, frost-covered trees, frozen rivers, icicles and viburnum branches hanging from roofs. And if you want to take some of this beauty with you, then learning how to draw a winter landscape would be a great idea. And, in particular, to paint a winter landscape in watercolors.

According to the eastern calendar, 2019 is the year of the pig. So images of these human friends are already full of them in stores as souvenirs, posters and calendars. However, it is not at all necessary to buy ready-made paraphernalia - it would be much more interesting to make drawings depicting pigs and wild boars.

For a significant part of the winter, questions do not even arise on the topic: what should I draw? New Year's stories are born by themselves. A festively decorated Christmas tree, jubilant children and animals around it, Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden, bags of gifts, good-natured fat snowmen... And so on and so forth. Don’t stop there (with the usual drawings), go for inspiration in our MAAM library of New Year’s fine arts. We have something to surprise you with! And there is something to offer for immediate use in work. Choose from a variety of master classes that are suitable for your children by age, and the style that suits you.

Let's draw New Year! After all, he deserves it!

How to draw easy and beautiful New Year's drawings step by step with a pencil?

Let's start from the very beginning simple drawing. A child can handle it even without adult help. We use it for our drawing classic plot: a snow-covered park and a snowman next to a Christmas tree decorated with balls.

If the drawing works out, then start creating other New Year's pictures. There are many step-by-step lessons on such a blessed topic as “New Year” in this article.

In the lower half of the sheet, draw a slightly upward curved line. This will be the horizon.
On the left side of the sheet we will draw another line, which will be a fence, and from right side Let's outline tree trunks with several large branches at the tops.
The trees, like the fence, are far away, so we draw them small. As you can see, everything is very simple.

Draw a horizon line, several trees and a fence

Trees also rise above the fence: we draw them large at the edge of the leaf, and small ones closer to the middle.
Let's draw vertical lines on the fence. These are partitions. Closer to the edge they are located far from each other, and then - closer and closer.
Draw two circles in the center of the sheet. The bottom one is larger than the top one.

Let's draw a snowman in the center

Let's draw the third snowball of a snowman. And we will show the crowns of trees covered with snow on the right and left.

Finishing the snowman

We draw the snowman coal eyes, a long sharp nose and an arched short mouth.
There is a bucket on the snowman’s head; we’ll draw it as a rectangle, but we’ll mark the bottom with a small oval on top, because it’s covered with snow.

Draw hands, eyes and buttons

The snowman's hands are sticks with several branches instead of fingers. On the middle snowball we will mark the snowman’s buttons with dots.
Now let's draw a pine twig in the snowman's hand. Let's draw a line and draw a thick, dense line on it at a slight angle. These will be needles.

Drawing a pine twig in the hands of a snowman

Next to the snowman we will outline the top and base of the Christmas tree.
We draw a schematic diagram of the crown of the Christmas tree and use a small rectangle to mark the visible piece of the trunk.

Drawing a Christmas tree

An example of a drawing was taken from the site lesyadraw.ru.

Here are some cards that will help you create your own New Year's fairy tale.

Let's try to depict the Snow Maiden and Father Frost with a pencil, as artists draw them on postcards. What would New Year be without these characters? We will focus on this postcard:

DRAWING SANTA CLAUS

Let's outline the outline of the figure of Santa Claus in the form of a large cone with a circle at the top.
The circle is the head, and we will need to draw symmetrical facial features on it. Therefore, we draw two intersecting lines inside. We also divide the cone into two halves. Let us denote the arms and staff with short lines.

We draw without pressing the pencil, so as not to spoil the picture with indelible lines. Let's outline the legs of Santa Claus with lines.
Let's draw Santa Claus's face: let's start with the nose, the eyes are located along the horizontal line. Let's complete the lush eyebrows and mustache. The enlarged fragment of the figure shows how to do this.
Using a fluffy zigzag we will draw a hat, beard, collar, fur on a fur coat.
Drawing the face of Santa Claus. First we will draw the nose, then the eyes, mustache, mouth and eyebrows. Draw the mittens and belt with straight lines.

On both sides of the line that we drew for the staff, we will draw one straight line to give the staff volume. Draw a star on the top of the staff. Look at the picture to see how to make it shine.

All we have to do is erase everything auxiliary lines and add paint. Santa Claus is ready!

Did you find drawing difficult? Then look in the article for easier options.

A simple drawing of Santa Claus and a Christmas tree for drawing with a child 6-8 years old

A simple drawing of Santa Claus can be no less impressive. The main thing is to carefully read the description and repeat all the steps exactly.

The first lines are a rectangle on the left, with which we will mark the place on the sheet where Santa Claus will be.

Drawing Santa Claus

OPTION 1:

Let's draw the face of Santa Claus. First a big nose, and then a mustache, eyes and the outline of a hat.
Draw another oval around the already drawn outline. Let's draw a hanging cap and a pompom on it.

Let's draw a short line under the mustache for the mouth. On both sides of the mustache we will draw lines downwards, joining at the bottom. This is a beard.

OPTION 2:

Let's draw a fur coat. It is shaped like a cone, but with a cut off top and a rounded bottom.

We finish drawing two triangles with a rounded top in place of the sleeves.

Let's draw the boots.
Now the mittens. Let's mark the white edges of the fur coat with lines.

We wipe the line on the shoulders of Santa Claus. Let's finish drawing the fur coat by separating the white edges on the sleeves with lines.

OPTION 3:

Let's draw a Christmas tree.

Let's start from the top.
We draw the top branch like an asterisk.
Below we draw the second part of the Christmas tree branches with a triangle with ridges.
Using the same triangle, but larger, draw the third branch.

We can draw a bag of gifts under the tree. We outline the shadows with short dashed lines.

Decorating the Christmas tree.

If your child likes to draw, then invite him to draw the following New Year pictures:

Drawing on the theme of a New Year's window in pencil

To decorate a window for the New Year holidays, you will need thick paper, a series of suitable pictures and a little free time.

We transfer the drawing onto paper and cut it out with sharp scissors. We apply soap solution on one side of the picture and glue it onto the glass.

Drawings that are suitable for window decoration:

New Year's balls and toys: pencil drawings

It is impossible to imagine the New Year without the obligatory attributes: a Christmas tree, Christmas tree decorations and toys, all kinds of garlands. Let's try to draw New Year's balls and toys.

Here's what we'll draw:

Let's draw New Year's toys

Let's start with the simplest thing - the New Year's ball. It is not at all difficult to draw if you can draw an even circle.
After this, we’ll draw a “pimply” on top, to which the eye of the holder and the thread are attached: we’ll erase a small section of the circle at the top and draw the missing part.

New Year's ball with Santa Claus

Let's draw a toy with a “tail” narrowed at the bottom. It's more difficult to draw.

Draw a circle and divide it into two halves with a vertical line, continuing it beyond the boundaries of the circle.
We outline the outline, depicting the rectangular top and sharp bottom of the toy.
On the top part we draw a metal part-mount and come up with a pattern with which the toy is painted. Let's decorate.

Toy, narrowed at the bottom

Let's draw another New Year's toy. It resembles an icicle in shape, only the edges are twisted in the form of a spiral.

Let's start from the top: draw a figure as in the picture.
Let's draw two more segments from below, and make the last one sharp and elongated. Again we draw the mount on the top and color it.

We complete the segments of the New Year's toy from below

New Year cards: pencil drawings

Interesting New Year's cards are those that depict not the usual scenes with Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, but children playing in the snow, a round dance around the Christmas tree, kids with gifts or animals with gifts.

Let's draw a postcard showing a baby in a New Year's suit. The baby is dressed in a New Year's deer costume. That's what we will draw:

Let's draw two circles: one on top of the other. The lower one (this will be the body) is larger than the upper one and has the shape of an oval, the upper one (this will be the head) is a small circle.
On top of the small circle we will draw another small semicircle and add a decorative element of the hat - a protruding deer nose.

Let's paint a small circle - the nose. Let's draw the initial lines of the branched horns and ears.

Paint over the nose and outline the horns

Let's complete the horns by drawing one more line at a short distance and connecting them at the tops of the horns.
Inside each ear, stepping back a little from the edge, draw another line. This will be the light part of the ear.
We draw the feet, which are made in the form of hooves, and the lower part of the baby’s body.

Let's draw the horns and ears

Along the body we will draw two lines of lowered arms and lines of the white part of the suit.
At this stage, you can erase the auxiliary lines.

Select the white part of the suit on the stomach

We finish drawing the baby’s face: eyes with large eyelashes, eyebrows, nose and smiling mouth.

Drawing a face

The suit has a large bow. Let's draw it, and then draw another line on the cap behind the horns, thus marking the seams on the cap.
To make the feet look like hooves, draw two elongated ovals inside and shade them. Let's add volume with short dashed lines throughout the suit.
The drawing will become truly New Year's if you add fir branches and New Year's toys. The baby is holding in his hands balloon with the inscription: “Happy New Year!”

Drawing a bow

Add shadows, a spruce branch and a balloon

Let's draw a postcard with a symbol the coming New Year - with a rooster. Our drawing will be stretched horizontally. Therefore, a landscape spread is suitable for drawing. You can take one album sheet, but then the drawing will turn out small.

We begin the drawing with the image of the head of Santa Claus in the upper half of the sheet. We draw a circle, and in it there are two intersecting lines.
Focusing on them, we will depict the facial features of Santa Claus: eyes, nose, mouth, beard, eyebrows and wrinkles. The picture shows how to draw correctly.

Drawing the face of Santa Claus

Draw a hat with a fur flap and a pompom, and at the bottom of the sheet draw a long rectangle for the inscription. Above the rectangle we draw the edges of the congratulatory canvas.

Finishing the congratulatory canvas

Let's depict the hands of Santa Claus. On both sides of his head we will draw rooster heads with round bulging eyes.

We draw the hands of Santa Claus and the heads of cockerels

Let's clarify the shape of Santa Claus's hands and add ribbons to the sides. Let's finish drawing the necks and bodies of the cockerels.
We will write an inscription on the congratulatory canvas and add falling snowflakes to the picture.

For coloring we use bright markers.

In the video you can see how to draw Santa Claus.

Drawing - New Year's fairy tale in pencil

One of the popular New Year's stories is Santa Claus rushing to the children with gifts on a sleigh. Let's try to portray it too.

Let's draw 2 lines that will divide the sheet into 4 parts (but don't press on the pencil. We need very light lines that can then be easily erased. We will be guided by them in order to maintain required sizes each element in the figure.
At the bottom of the left side we draw a ski from a sled. There will be a horse on the right.
The wavy line under the sleigh is the ground covered with snow.

Drawing a ski from a sled

We draw the sleigh in the lower left square so that it does not protrude beyond the lines. To draw a horse with opposite side sheet, outline the initial contours with three circles.
The circle for the head is the smallest. Let us denote the legs of a running horse with curved lines.
Now we outline all three circles to create the body of a horse. At this stage you can draw the eyes, ears and nostrils.

Draw the initial outlines of the sleigh and horse

Let's draw a lush mane for the horse, a tail, the tip of which is “hidden” behind the sleigh, and two legs bent high.
To complete the contours of the horse, you need to draw the second pair of legs and hooves.

Drawing a horse

Let's start drawing Santa Claus. Let's limit the future outline of the character with two vertical lines. Let's denote wavy lines fluffy brim of the hat and collar.
Let's finish drawing the cap and a few curling hairs sticking out from under the cap.

Let's draw the eyes, nose, and beard of Santa Claus. Add a line for the arm and a fluffy edge for the sleeve. Let's draw a mitten.

Next he draws a face, beard, hand, mitten

Santa Claus has a long beard, reaching to his waist. Let's draw its continuation next to the belt. Let's draw another hand.

Santa Claus holds a bridle in his hands. Let's draw it with two lines located at an angle.

We finish drawing the wooden elements of the harness and saddle.

We finish drawing the wooden elements of the harness

Add some lines on the sleigh. We draw a big bag behind Santa Claus.

You can start coloring, or you can also add “Happy New Year!”
