Many, many different Christmas trees.

A cheerful and unusual card with a smiley face, with bright decorative elements, and colorful details is a good craft for April 1st. We need to use the most bright colors, the funniest faces, have fun and joke while performing unusual products. We present to your attention a postcard with a suitable theme. If you are looking for a craft for April 1, then you can use our tips.

The postcard shows a smiley face – a smiling face with huge eyes. His eyes are really huge, shifty, and disproportionate, but overall the figure looks lively and cheerful. Smiley is holding a set of bright balloons. The card is also decorated with cute insects, but you can choose some other funny characters whose faces will be relevant on April Fool’s Day.

To create such a craft, prepare:

thick cardboard beautiful chocolate color;
bright red pearlescent decorative tape;
yellow paper;
black marker and bright pen;
2 running eyes;
clippings from children's magazines of cute insects: butterflies, ladybug or some others;
several pieces of floss thread;
pieces of bright cardboard for balloons;
a piece of red foamiran or a ready-made number 1;
scissors;
glue.

How to make a craft with your own hands for April 1:

Take beautiful cardboard chocolate-colored, trim the edges evenly to create a card base.

Make a bright border. On sale in the stationery departments you can find completely different adhesive tapes: pearlescent, shiny, bright with a pattern. Pick up some nice adhesive tape; your child will definitely need it in the future. Glue the strips along the border to form a frame.

Cut out a Kolobok from yellow paper. This will be our future emoticon. Cut out balloons from several pieces of bright cardboard different sizes. Balls can be round and oval, wavy and so on.

Cut small pieces from brightly colored crochet threads or floss. These will be the strings of our balloons that the smiley will hold in his hands.

Glue the yellow circle onto the card, but not in the center, place it on the side. On the other side, glue the threads using thick glue.

Now the glued layer will be disguised as balloons. The threads will seem to come out of the tails

Add one of the smiley's hands on the side where he is holding the string. Cut a strip of yellow paper and glue it on one side, bend the tip of the strip. Now use the running eyes, gluing them to the right places. Draw a mouth with a marker. Cut out the number 1 from foamiran.

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 that are beautiful, original and, most importantly, “fast” New Year 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 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.

Grandfather Frost

A friendly Father Frost (or Santa Claus) can be made in just half an hour. Red hat and pink face- these are strips of paper pasted onto a postcard 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 create 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 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 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. 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.

Balls

Balls are one of the main symbols of the New Year and Christmas. These are made from velvety colored paper and ribbon. But balls are such a win-win option that you can allow yourself to fantasize: make balls from patterned paper, wrapping paper, fabric, lace, cut out from newspaper or 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.

April 1st can truly be the most fun day of the year if you prepare for it properly. And, of course, for little creativity lovers, one of the main stages of preparation will be the creation of souvenirs and fun crafts that will help lift their spirits and create a festive atmosphere.

Which ones can you make with your own hands? For children, it is not even the result of the work that is important, but the process itself. Therefore, in this case, you need to choose crafts that will be interesting and fun to make.

DIY sunshine for April 1st

For example, to decorate a room or room in kindergarten you can make the bright April sun. We stock up on paints in sunny shades: yellow, orange, red. Using a thick brush, apply paint liberally to your palms. We put a print on a sheet of paper.

On a separate sheet of paper we draw a circle with the same paints. When it dries, draw a face on it: eyes and a smile.

Cut out the handprints and circle and glue them to form a sun.

This sunshine will warm anyone!

Smiling sun on a stick for April 1

Very sweet spring craft for April 1 - a sun made of paper and thread on a stick. To make it, cut out a circle from yellow cardboard. We make holes along the edges of the circle.

Cut the floss threads. We insert them into the holes and bandage them. The more threads we insert, the larger the craft will be.

Using plasticine, we make a face on a cardboard base.

Cut out a yellow circle from cardboard and fix the craft on a stick, gluing it between the circles. We made a very fun April Fool's craft!

Using plasticine, threads, beads and toy eyes, we create the face of a clown.

We make an accordion suit out of paper. Glue the bead buttons.

Glue the handles from accordion-folded paper.

We make a cap out of paper. Our clown craft is ready! Let him remind us of how important it is to smile and be happy more often!

Cheerful fireworks on a foil stick

What could be more fun than bright holiday fireworks? To make it, take colored foil and cut it into fringes.

Take a plastic cocktail stick and wrap it in cut foil.

We fix the foil on the stick with glue and tape.

Straighten the foil.

Paper pendant for kindergarten “Laughing Children”

You can make a funny “laughing children” pendant for April 1 from ordinary colored paper. To do this, cut out pairs of people from colored paper.

Homemade cards self-made differ from ready-made ones, first of all, in uniqueness. In addition, their design can take into account aspects known only in your circle of friends - habits, tastes, interests, incidents in the lives of your recipients. The basis of an April Fool's card can be a photograph, collage, or drawing. There is complete scope for the designer's imagination. The principle of its construction is important. We will completely draw our e-card ourselves in just a few steps. This can be done in any graphic editor.

Making a postcard

1. We chose an old joke about two koloboks as the subject of our April Fool's card. We are building a postcard layout. We mark placement points for graphic objects and text blocks.

2. Draw graphic objects. These are two koloboks.
