Making cards with the kids

In it you will find not only a lot of ideas, but also get acquainted with the basic rules for creating postcards.

Any cockerel drawn by your child can be placed on a postcard. If it’s difficult for the kid to figure out how to draw a rooster with his own hands, then show him this step-by-step instruction:

And then, a matter of technology. Cut out the cockerel and make it the central part of the composition. For example, your postcard can be so simple, but cute. In your work, use New Year's paper and bright red ribbon, add snowflakes, twigs and other holiday paraphernalia. When you have a basic idea, the process of creating a postcard becomes much easier!

If your child likes to color in black and white pictures, give him the opportunity. Print out the rooster postcard template on thick cardboard and let the kid get to work.

Colored paper roosters

Colored paper appliqué can also be placed on a greeting card. But such an application itself can act as a postcard. To draw and carefully cut out all the details, the children will need the help of their parents, but they can stick it themselves.

Olga-15 offers to make funny paper cockerels in her master class.

A Rooster blank is a rectangular sheet of flexible paper or thin cardboard folded in half lengthwise. Its size is 13.5 × 10 cm. We make 7-10 inclined cuts along the fold line (after about 1 cm). The angle of their inclination is 50-70 degrees, and the depth is ¾ of the height of the folded sheet.

Ekaterina Ivanova in her video tutorial shows how to make a red rooster using the Origami technique:

Roosters in quilling technique

A very interesting idea is to lay out only a luxurious rooster tail from quilling paper. It's not as confusing as laying out a whole cockerel, and it can turn out very effectively! Here is a rooster without a tail as a basis (how it looked in the original, see the photo below).

Print it on a color printer, and fantasize over the tail later. As an example - one such work (although the tail is modest here, but you will try, right?))

And if you are not afraid to make a whole rooster using the Quilling technique, then you can take this finished postcard as a basis:

Or this template:

Crochet Cockerels

Many needlewomen with a hook on “you” and will be happy to knit a cockerel from multi-colored threads. And "Cross" will help you decide on the model and offer several master classes on this type of needlework.

You can also buy cockerels knitted from Svetlana.

Roosters from felt

The fastest and most uncomplicated options for creating a symbol of 2017 are felt roosters. The material is easy to process, keeps the shape of the toy well, does not require seams. On the contrary, manual seams on the face of the product give it a special flavor and charm.

Do-it-yourself paper cockerel for children - template and photo step by step




New Year is the most joyful, solemn and long-awaited holiday. Such a special day is celebrated by a lot of people. And each of them wants to beautifully decorate their home, giving it a fabulous touch. With the approach of the New Year, almost everyone is interested in which symbol will take over the reign this time. By the way, the Rooster stencil for cutting out of paper will just be at the meeting of 2017, because it is the Fire Cockerel that is the future predecessor, and it will not be difficult for each of us to print templates with his image today.

Traditions for New Year's Eve









Undoubtedly, no one canceled the traditions, and they are an invariable decoration for the New Year. For example, "lianas" from garlands, which are made of paper with their own hands. Or tinsel shimmering in different colors, with which you can create beautiful elements, as well as various Christmas decorations, by the way, will come in handy to create a festive mood.

The forest green beauty is also traditionally decorated with various toys, multi-colored LED lights, iridescent rain, and so on. But we must not forget about the most important task, that is, it is imperative to plant the predecessor of the approaching year on the Christmas tree. After all, as you know, this will really please Petushka, who will not remain indifferent to this act.










According to tradition, it is known that those who please the ruler of the coming year should not be afraid of any difficulties in the New Year. The predecessor will be merciful and protect from problems and worries. Of course, with the approach of this holiday, it is not difficult to buy a figurine with the image of a rooster, but it would be better and more correct to make it yourself.

Today there is a fashion to decorate window glass with a symbol of the coming year. In this connection, a lot of people are trying to decorate their homes with beautiful cockerels. Moreover, many of which almost constantly make figures on their own with the help of auxiliary elements.









Some use a rooster template, which is not difficult to print today through special devices. After that, it is not uncommon to create bright beautiful figures with the help of paints and sparkles. Moreover, it is very interesting to create such art with your children, who surprisingly help to turn real masterpieces into reality.

Creating your own paper cockerel is not at all difficult. To begin with, you can draw it on a sheet with a pencil. Or just print the templates, taking, for example, and then choose the appropriate stencil. Then use ordinary toothpicks, glue and a set of multi-colored sparkles. With the help of such auxiliary elements, it is necessary to decorate the predecessor of the year.







To begin with, draw all the lines well. After that, apply glue to the area to be painted. Then, using a toothpick, apply glitter as if decorating with a felt-tip pen. The fact is that a shiny crumb will allow the drawing to shimmer with colored paints for a long time. For each shade, you should take a separate toothpick so as not to mix colors.

A New Year's composition can also be cut out of a conceived figure, but since the year of the Fire Cockerel is approaching, I want to please this symbol and fall into favor with it. Therefore, today the patterns of just such a bird are used.

Improvised tools for cutting patterns:









- a sheet of white paper, you can take a standard format - A 4;
- a wooden surface (plank) on which cutting will take place;
- pencil, ruler and eraser;
- scissors;
- stationery knife.

The creative process will not take much time, and the result will please everyone who wants to try their hand at this art. It just takes patience and a little effort.

The finished template or the drawn figure must be carefully cut out of paper with scissors. If the figurine requires delicate actions when cutting, it is better to use a clerical knife, then the product will be neat. Using sharp tools, work should be done on a wooden surface so as not to cut the table or other interior items.









Then, when the product is ready, it is best to stick it on the window using a soapy solution. You can pre-pour warm water into the container and add pieces of soap there. While the figure is being cut out, the soap will dissolve and it will turn out, a ready-made product for gluing.

In order to create a fabulous composition on the window, the Fire Cockerel can be painted in bright colors and planted on a fluffy spruce branch, which, in turn, can be beautifully decorated with a toy and snow. To reproduce this, you need to show a little more patience than when creating one cockerel.

Beautiful Christmas composition









An auxiliary tool will need exactly the same as when creating a cockerel. Only now you need to draw or print a beautiful fluffy spruce branch. You should choose a stencil taking into account the fact that the symbol of the year itself will sit on top of it, and under it on the branch itself, depict a patterned ball that will be a New Year's decoration. Snow can be drawn.

After the spruce branch and the New Year's toy ball are picked up, they should be attached to the window with a soapy solution. After that, the compositions are allowed to dry, and then decorated with bright colors. You can add multi-colored sparkles.







From white sparkles to depict snowflakes that will shimmer brightly. The cockerel needs to be painted in multi-colored colors of paints, then it will look like a real fairy-tale character. Draw a spruce branch with rich green paint, because the window is transparent and pale colors will not work here. A toy - a ball should also be dressed up in different shades of colors. Only then you get a real New Year's composition.

There are many options for how you can decorate your home for the long-awaited holiday. After all, I want to please all my relatives and friends, giving them a real holiday and good mood. The proposed options will just come in handy, by the way, and will help make all your dreams come true. You just need to try and then everything will work out.

Vytynanka - what is it?

What is this strange word - "vytynanka"? Everything is very simple. This is a kind of creativity, which consists in cutting out patterns from paper. Such products decorate windows, postcards, gifts and much more.

The history of vytynanok originates from the distant Old Slavonic times, they came to our region from China. Then, with the help of creating "silhouettes" of plants, people, animals, they decorated the facades and walls of houses, windows, clothes. Also, vytynanki found in people's lives not only domestic use, but also widely used for religious purposes - in church traditions and on holidays.

Masters for their manufacture took not only paper, but also wood, birch bark and even metal.

For New Year-themed vytynankas, white paper is most often used. To reproduce all the small patterns from the templates, you will need nail scissors or a clerical knife. For larger patterns or when a child is working on protrusions, ordinary large scissors will suffice.

We decorate the window with New Year's vytynanki

To begin with, the window space must be divided into zones. At the bottom, it is best to place protrusions that require completion, “earths”: for example, snow, houses, snowdrifts, Christmas trees, snowmen, children playing. In the center, it is best to place snowflakes, Christmas decorations, angels, fir branches.

Above - the stars, the moon.

Here are a few examples of windows that, with the help of skillful hands, turned into New Year's masterpieces.

How to cut a New Year's vytynanka?

Let's start simple. You can draw them yourself, but it will be more convenient to use ours - we have prepared beautiful schemes for you.

Prepare in advance:

We make do-it-yourself vytynanki-snowflakes on the windows

Get ready - the work will be filigree, because, as you know, the pattern of each snowflake is unique. For snowflake-shaped protrusions, you will need nail scissors with sharp tips. Just look what you can do with your own hands!

  4. Repeat patterns from templates or show your own creativity;
  5. Expand the snowflake and see what happens.
