Creating bright posters for the New Year with your own hands, using a ready-made template or developing your own author's version, is an exciting entertainment that both children and adults will have to do on the eve of 2024. Most often, such New Year's "wall newspapers" or "mega-postcards" can be found in educational institutions and offices, although you can decorate almost any room with a poster, beating the theme of the workplace in an original way.
Today we will tell you how to create a beautiful poster for the New Year 2024 with your own hands, and also offer some original design ideas.
Poster techniques
What exactly your New Year's posters will be in 2024 depends on many factors:
- drawing skills;
- availability of paints, markers, pencils;
- possibility to print items on a color or black and white printer;
- availability of free time;
- individual preference.
We will offer a number of the most popular poster making techniques, among which you are sure to find your own.
Coloring poster
The easiest option for those who can print a contour image on whatman paper, because the format is a standard A1 poster. Alternatively, you can split a large image into parts (in any graphics editor or Word program), print it with a regular A4 printer and glue the sheets together, creating a single large drawing.

The main thing is that even a child can make such a beautiful decor for 2024 with minimal help from adults.
Drawing version
New Year's papers drawn with felt-tip pens, paints or pencils are well known to those who were schoolchildren in the Soviet period, because in the absence of printers and the Internet, the only way to create a beautiful poster was to improve your artistic skills.
Of course, in 2024, even such a task as drawing a poster by hand is greatly simplified, because on the network you can find a lot of templates and blanks for depicting the main New Year's heroes, such as:
- Santa Claus;
- Snow Maiden;
- herringbone;
- Snowman;
- Rabbit (symbol of the outgoing 2023);
- Dragon (symbol of the new year 2024);
- snowflakes.
It's also easy to find font options for the inscription on the net, and choose each character you need for work, taking into account the style of your picture. Here are some interesting ideas:
Sticker applique
A fairly quick way to create an original DIY 2024 New Year poster for those who don't like to draw or just don't have enough time but have access to a color printer.
The idea is as simple as possible - all the elements necessary to create a composition are printed on ordinary office paper, cut out and pasted onto the base (usually A1 drawing paper).
To get an interesting author's poster, you can use the following elements:
- new year inscription;
- snowflakes;
- christmas toys;
- congratulations in verse (you can type on your computer);
- basics for the text, if you plan to write the congratulations by hand (ovals, clouds, outlines of Christmas trees, stars, stickers, etc.);
- Santa Claus and Snow Maiden (or maybe Santa Claus).
Of course, a poster for the new year 2024 (the year of the Green Dragon) cannot do without this cute fairy-tale character. We offer several beautiful dragons for the design of an exclusive poster using the application technique (cartoon, fabulous, traditional oriental).
If the poster is created for an adult team, then you can add a calendar for January, which will mark all weekends of the month and the first working day of the new year, or a poster about working moments or team achievements.
Vytynanka appliqués
A very interesting option for a stylish poster for any holiday, but in the New Year theme the idea looks especially original, because openwork carved snowflakes, Christmas decorations, as well as silhouettes of Santa Claus or Santa's flying sleigh (as in the photo) will fit perfectly into the design .
In the classical sense, vytynankas are used as window decor, but congratulations made in this style look very unusual and creative.
You can also download many templates for New Year's vytynanok on the pages of our website.
It is best to make such a poster on a color basis (blue or green will be optimal, or maybe your corporate version with a combination of shades). Vytynankas will look more advantageous on a dark contrast base.
3D details
3D New Year's posters look very unusual and will always be popular in 2024.
To complement the standard elements inherent in a classic hand-drawn version or a poster with applications, you can use such three-dimensional objects as:
- 3D snowflakes;
- tree with 3D branches;
- miniature Christmas decorations that can decorate a drawn or voluminous Christmas tree;
- boxes with gifts under the Christmas tree;
- Elements of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden clothes made of cotton wool and sequins;
- opening stickers with congratulations, wishes or predictions for the coming year.
How such a finished 3D poster might look like, look at the photo:
Ideas for volumetric elements can be taken from workshops on creating 3D postcards.
You can make such a poster with a whole team of children. In this case, each participant receives the task of creating their own three-dimensional element to decorate the composition.
