Progress of the master class
Guys, I am glad to welcome you to today's master class.
Do you like holidays? Which?
For most people, their favorite holidays are Birthday and New Year. Guess the riddle:
Who comes to us in winter
To visit everyone's home,
With a beard and a staff,
And a gift bag?
There is a red nose above the mustache.
Who is this?..(Santa Claus) (Note: the riddle was taken from the Internet. Access mode: http://mirdetstva5.ru/zagadki-pro-deda-moroza)
Santa Claus is a character famous not only for his kindness, but also for his fabulous congratulations. And everyone is used to him bringing us gifts. But you can also congratulate Santa Claus himself. After all, he has his own birthday. The official birthday of Santa Claus is considered to be November 18th. This date is associated with the onset of frost in the homeland of Father Frost, in Veliky Ustyug, and was chosen by the children themselves back in 2005. On this day, Veliky Ustyug celebrates the birthday of the famous birthday boy. Do you want to congratulate Grandfather Frost?
You can all write a letter to Santa Claus and attach a postcard with congratulations to the letter. Today we will make this card.
- For work we will need the following materials and tools: thick landscape sheet, colored paper, buttons of different sizes, sequins or rhinestones for decoration, ribbons, ribbons, double-sided tape, scissors, glue, hole punch, ruler, pencil, black marker or black felt-tip pen or black gel pen.
So, everything is ready. Let's start making the postcard.
Take a landscape sheet and place it in front of you. Fold the right and left parts as follows:
Please note that we do not bend the left and right parts evenly, this will make the card more interesting.
The base of the card is ready. Set it aside for now. Let's start decorating it.
I have the Christmas tree and snowman templates prepared in advance.
Take colored paper. It is better to take soft colors. Trace the templates on colored paper. The resulting shapes must be cut out. Remember to follow safety precautions when working with scissors.
Now take the base of the card and glue (using a glue stick) the resulting colored Christmas tree and snowman onto different parts of the card as follows:
To make our snowman and Christmas tree come to life and become voluminous, we use buttons. You can use buttons of different sizes and colors. It all depends on your imagination!
I'll start with the snowman. I'll take 2 white buttons of different sizes. First I'll put them on the construction paper snowman on the card, check if they fit, and then stick them on with double-sided tape.
Note: Most 2nd grade children still find it difficult to cope with some types of double-sided tape (it doesn’t cut well and sticks to scissors). Therefore, it is best if one of the adults cuts off the pieces of tape. If the child can cope with this work, then he performs all the actions independently.
Now let's turn our attention to the Christmas tree. Let's take buttons of different colors and sizes and place them on a Christmas tree made of colored paper on a postcard. I took green buttons of different sizes and small colored buttons. If everything is satisfactory, you can glue the buttons using double-sided tape.
Using buttons we will depict multi-colored balls hanging from above. Let's put everything on the postcard first and check if everything suits us. Buttons can be glued using double-sided tape.
There are empty spaces at the top and bottom of the postcard. They can be decorated with ribbons or ribbons. I chose a red bindweed ribbon. In order to glue it evenly, you need to draw straight lines using a ruler and a simple pencil.
We also use a pencil to draw string lines to the button balls at the top of the postcard. If necessary, you can use a ruler. Using a pencil we draw arms and a hat for the snowman. Once we have finished working with a pencil, we can outline the lines with a marker, black felt-tip pen or black gel pen (except for technical lines for the braid). I'll use a pen.
Then we measure out pieces of braid of the required length and cut them with scissors. Then, using a glue stick, glue the braid exactly along the lines.
Now let's decorate our card with sequins or rhinestones. You can also make confetti. I use snowflake shaped sequins. First I'll put them on a postcard. I like everything. You can glue the sequins using double-sided tape.
All that remains is to make the ties. Use a hole punch to make holes.
And insert a ribbon (mine is red) into the holes and tie a bow.
Our postcard is ready.
Now all you have to do is write a congratulation to Santa Claus inside the card and send or personally give the birthday boy a handmade card.
The master class was held for 2nd grade students. The guys made these postcards.

Snowmen made from palms
No holiday is complete without greeting cards. A child should be taught to be creative from childhood. You can make this card with a child of any age, because in fact, the main task of your baby is a palm print. Let's get started.
- colored cardboard,
- paints,
- colored paper and glue,
- markers.
A sheet of cardboard needs to be bent in half, this will be our future postcard. Since paint spreads on cardboard, take a sheet of colored paper and glue it onto the cardboard. You need to put a child's handprint on a sheet of colored paper. To do this, we smear your child’s hand with white gouache and put an imprint on the sheet.
To make the print even, you need to paint on the unpainted areas with a brush.
When the paint has dried, we draw a snowman from each finger.
The front side of the card is ready, now let's work on the inside.
We draw snowflakes and a snowman with white paint and write a wish. That's all.

Postcard “Mitten”
Another work from Olga Kiseleva from Iskitim. This is a wonderful New Year's card in the form of a mitten.
“I live in a small Siberian town. I have been doing handicrafts since childhood. All the children who go to kindergarten know how to make cards. Just like I learned in kindergarten, I still make cards with my own hands and give them to family and friends.
I'll tell you how to make a mitten card.
To make it we will need:
- PVA stationery glue;
- glue Moment crystal;
- scissors;
- white cardboard;
- colored paper;
- lace, ribbons, braid, lace;
- beads, rhinestones, sequins or other decorations.
Draw a mitten on the back of colored paper. And we cut it out. Then we place this mitten on the cardboard and outline it 3 mm wider on all sides, cut out the resulting figure.
We lay out lace and braid on the colored part of the mitten. When we have determined the location, we stick them on. Then we glue the colored part of the mitten to the cardboard part. Here, if you decide to make a loop, then the ribbon needs to be inserted between the parts of the mitten.
Congratulations can be written on the back of the mitten. Or you can print it on a printer and glue it.
We chaotically glue sequins around the congratulations.
We decorate the front part of the card with beads, half beads, a felt snowflake, and a pattern cut out of white cardboard.
The mitten card is ready.

Postcards are not difficult to make, especially if you know the simple technology.
You can create regular cards with beautiful patterns, or voluminous ones with a surprise, so to speak.
Let's look at a few options.
How to make a voluminous New Year's card
Here we will look at how to make a voluminous New Year's card with a Christmas tree. First you need to draw the shape of the Christmas tree, or you can simply print the image from the site and then follow the instructions below.
You will need:
Sheets of colored cardboard;
- a simple pencil;
- ruler;
- scissors;
- glue.
1. Place the paper on a flat surface. Take a ruler and draw a line for yourself that will mark the middle of the sheet, also known as the middle of the tree.
* If you decide to draw a Christmas tree rather than print it, try to draw it exactly in relation to the center line. It is also worth drawing straight lines along which you will further cut the paper (see picture).
3. Carefully start cutting along the lines as shown in the picture, leaving only the side lines of the tree untouched.
4. From the very top, begin to carefully bend and unbend parts of the Christmas tree. Then straighten the paper a little and start pushing the “branches” of the tree in the opposite direction (see picture).
This is what it should look like.
6. Fold the sheet in the middle and leave it on the table.
7.
Apply a thin line of glue to the left and right of the Christmas tree sheet.

Use ribbons
You will need:
Colored cardboard or thick paper;

- scissors;
