And you can make them yourself. Keep 10 simple and beautiful DIY Christmas card ideas!
1. Postcard with corrugated paper herringbone
Take a few strips of crepe paper and fold them slightly with an accordion. Lay the tree in tiers and use beads, glitter or rain to decorate.
2. New Year card with paper balls
Take all the same corrugated or just thick origami paper and cut into long thin strips. Make many small notches before reaching the edge. Roll up the ribbons on a toothpick, fluff up the balls and lay out the New Year's pattern with their help.
3. New Year's card from the ribbon
Take a long satin ribbon, a glue gun, and some pretty decorative buttons or beads. Lay out the Christmas tree from the tape in eight and fix it with glue. And then cover the intersections with decorative buttons, like Christmas decorations.

4. The simplest New Year card
So easy that even small children can make such a card on their own! All you need is colored cardboard for the base and thick colored paper for the Christmas tree. Fold it like an accordion, fix the top and glue, and then decorate with beads, sequins and anything else.
5. Postcards made of felt
Cut the multi-colored felt into thin strips and put the Christmas trees out of them on the glue. Instead of a base, you can use thick cardboard or the same felt sheet. It sticks well with a regular pistol, but you can also sew it on. Ideal for sending - nothing will break or wrinkle.
6. Volumetric New Year card
Cut out several squares of different sizes from thick wrapping paper. Fold each in half and fold into a triangle-book. From several of these parts, lay out the Christmas tree on a cardboard base.

7. Postcard with Christmas trees
Use wrapping paper again or paint plain white with different patterns. Cut out three triangles for each tree and glue them like a book. You can also paste beautiful beads or small notes with wishes there.
8. New Year's card made of threads and beads
Using a thick, dense thread, lay out the outline of the future drawing - Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars or gift wrapping. Glue the thread on a PVA or glue gun and fill the base with it with an even layer. Chaotically fill everything with small multi-colored beads and glitter.
9. Postcard in quilling technique
For quilling, you need thin strips of multi-colored paper, glue and a toothpick. Roll each strip in a spiral with a toothpick, shape by hand and secure with glue. Use the ready-made modules to lay out the drawing on the postcard.
