Lots of quick New Year cards

When there is very little time left before the New Year, but you really want to give handmade cards to your loved ones, you can use the following idea.



The materials we will need are:
- White and black (or any other dark)
- Gouache
- Satin ribbons
- Remains of colored paper
- Pencil
- Stationery knife
- Sponge
- Hole puncher
- Lighter (or matches - for burning ribbons)
- Twine
- Black pen
- Stroke (if any).



Let's get started. From cardboard we cut out the required number of rectangles, approximately 7x11 cm in size. Plus another rectangle of the same size.



Using a spool of thread, draw curves on the corners of the cards.



On the remaining rectangle we draw the silhouette of a Christmas tree.



Then, placing unnecessary magazines, newspapers or thick oilcloth under the cardboard, cut out the Christmas tree with a stationery knife.



Now we put the stencil on the blank for the postcard and with a small piece of sponge, put a little white paint on it, and apply the design.



We do the same with white blanks, only instead of white paint now it is green.



I use other colors and use my finger to “draw” balls on the Christmas tree.



We cut colored paper into small rectangles and squares, glue them under the Christmas tree, using a black pen and a stroke (can be replaced with white gouache) we turn the pieces of paper into present, drawing patterns and ribbons on them.



We make a hole with a hole punch and thread ribbons and laces into it - whatever we can find. Postcards are ready! And it didn’t take much time to make them. Children will especially enjoy this type of creativity - fast, easy and colorful!
Good luck!
