Making New Year envelopes

With the advent of the New Year holidays, many children begin to dream of gifts that they will find under the green beauty. To do this, they write letters to Santa Claus. An envelope is required to send a message. How to make a holiday envelope with your own hands will be discussed in this article.

In order to make an envelope for Santa Claus yourself, you need to prepare certain tools and materials in advance. It is important that the product obtained is beautiful, because it should like Santa Claus. You can, of course, find ready-made templates, choose the option you like. In this case, the selected template is printed on a color printer and the workpiece is carefully cut with scissors. Next, it should be bent along the fold line, folded and glued.

To make a do-it-yourself craft, you will need the following materials:

• sheets of paper in A4 format;
• colored paper;
• PVA glue or glue stick;
• felt-tip pens and pencils;
• decorative elements.

It is impossible to imagine the New Year without a festive atmosphere. Everything connected with this magical holiday is usually decorated. Congratulatory letters to Grandfather Frost and envelopes for money are not ignored. To make a beautiful New Year’s envelope, just find the option you like and print it or make it yourself, using diagrams and templates.

To create a product yourself, you need:

• take a sheet of paper in A-4 format;
• cut 7 cm on each side to make a rhombus;
• connect all the corners of the rhombus in the middle;
• fasten the three corners, and bend the remaining one;
• glue the bonding lines with PVA glue or decorative tape.

You can take white paper and color it yourself with winter patterns. Also use ready-made templates. Such blanks can have different shapes and sizes. You can print not only a congratulatory envelope, but also an insert letter to it.

Typically, these options are bright, decorating them with decor, sparkles or tinsel. Drawn snowflakes, Christmas trees, animal figures can often be seen on winter packaging.

The easiest option for making crafts for the New Year is to purchase a ready-made envelope and decorate it. You can make it in the form of a deer face or the image of Santa Claus, having previously cut out the necessary details. To do this, a deer face with horns is glued to a clean envelope or a snowman outline is cut out, etc.

For holiday cards, you can use the resources that are at hand. As a basis, you can take wrapping paper, which is left from gifts from last year. Using the template printed on the printer, it is worth making blanks for the future envelope. In this case, pieces of lace, satin ribbon, as well as beautiful napkins, can come in handy.

From the available materials they add up the product and make up the composition. For the lower layer, use a lace napkin, decorate with lace and ribbons, supplement with pictures.

It is easy to build a message from A4 paper. To create a masterpiece you need:

• take a white sheet or colored paper;
• using the selected template, print it;
• with a simple pencil you need to transfer the sketch to the prepared sheet;
• cut the workpiece;
• using a ruler, bend the edges of the product in the form of an envelope;
• stick together.

In this case, the drawing can be either cut out of colored paper or drawn independently. You can decorate the model using quilling or origami technique.

In the classic version, the holiday envelope is made of A4 paper. But, using imagination, you can build an unusual craft of dense fabric, felt leather or cardboard. The selected template is applied to the material, circled and cut along the contour.

You can use glue to glue parts, but for such materials it is better to use a stronger mount. Needlewomen can sew parts on a sewing machine with threads or sew them by hand.

Adults, like children, are waiting for the New Year holidays to come, because this is a time of miracles and magical accomplishments. As a gift, adults are often given money. Just giving money is not entirely correct, so it’s better to put it in the original envelope.

Of course, now you can buy envelopes for money in any store, but such packaging is unlikely to bring as much pleasure as an independently made craft. During operation, use plain or colored paper, or choose cardboard. According to the template, the product is cut out and an envelope is formed. It is desirable that it has an oblong shape. Its dimensions should correspond to the sizes of notes that will be placed there.

Making the New Year’s envelope, you must adhere to certain rules and make products according to templates and schemes. But you can achieve an equally good result by making a craft with your own design. An important part of the workflow is the decor of such products. For a beautiful design, you can use a lot of decorative elements. Even food and spices can be used.

You can decorate the message with shiny Christmas toys, decorate with a spruce twig and fix with decorative twine. Such an additional decor instantly transforms the craft. If the child is small, parents should help the child in the design of the crafts.

Even a minimal number of decorative elements will make an original congratulatory envelope. It is enough for this purpose to take kraft paper, fold it in the form of an envelope and apply a winter pattern with white paint.
