There are several types of artificial fir trees that do not require decoration. They either already have built-in flashlights, or the colors of such a "tree" do not imply additional decor. Silver, white, golden and even red spruces are popular. The ranok is so diverse that everyone can choose for themselves exactly the option that will delight and truly create good New Year spirit.

Everyone knows how to decorate a room with their own hands for the new year 2018 with the help of a Christmas tree. But how to make sure that the festive tree fits harmoniously into the interior, and the toys do not just hang absurdly from their paws - let's talk further.

Any decor has its own tricks - the Christmas tree is no exception. Decorating a tree with balls can be done in several ways:

• chess - colors Christmas balls it is better to pick up contrasting ones and hang them according to the rule chess board... This method not only looks very advantageous on the tree, but also contributes to financial well-being in the new year (according to Feng Shui specialists);

This method of decoration is safe, since the option of a short circuit from electricity is excluded, as well as from open fire. original candles... But the LED decoration looks no worse than real candles.

Of course, no one cancels the decoration of the Christmas tree with other toys. It is not necessary to use only balls. The decor market is full of various shapes: everyone can choose something symbolic for themselves and decorate a New Year tree with it.

New Year's table

If the celebration of the New Year is planned to be held at home, but you cannot do without a table with dishes. Usually, New Year's table decorate with a festive tablecloth. Its color can be classic white, or bright red with a gold pattern. In fact, the shade of the tablecloth is not important - the main thing is to correctly combine it with the rest of the decor of the table and room.

In addition to beautifully folded napkins and a festive service, candles can be placed in the middle of the table. You can make candles yourself or buy, not forgetting about the candlestick. It is better to buy it on a leg - so that it does not take up much space on the table, which, as a rule, is always scarce due to the abundance of dishes.

Candlesticks can be made from orange or tangerine by carefully removing the core from the fruit. Place a candle in the hole and enjoy not only the romantic view, but also the aroma. Such candles will look great not only on the festive table, but also on the windowsill or on the fireplace.

In addition to candles, you can place a homemade composition of fir branches in the middle of the table. Collect something like a bouquet by decorating sprigs of confetti or small balloons. The smell from a living tree will fill the whole room with a real exciting feeling of celebration.

If your chairs have a back, then it's a sin not to decorate it. Chairs can be beautifully tied with ribbons, a festive bow, beads, tinsel can be attached to the back. The main thing is not to overdo it so that the decor does not look ridiculous. It is important to know the measure in the combination of colors.

The New Year's table is the center of attention of all those present at the holiday. Therefore, do not skimp on decorating dishes. Even one sprig of dill can change the look of ordinary cheese slices, and a rose made from tomato peels will perfectly fit into sausages, giving the dish a solemn look.

We decorate windows

Now it is not necessary to cut snowflakes - there are enough in stores beautiful stickers on the New Year's theme, which after the holidays will not put aside the terrifying stains and stains on the glass.

Silicone sleighs with deer, Santa Clauses, Christmas trees and gifts have long been loved by people for their ease of use and their bright colors. Moreover, they are also reusable. Carefully peel off the sticker from the glass - it can be removed until the next holiday.

Thus, you can attach the New Year's rain, which, with a light breath of the breeze, will beautifully sway from side to side.

The warmth emanating from the hearth, the crackling of wood in a real fireplace, of course, cannot be compared with anything, but such a luxury happens only in country house, and even then not everyone gets it, so we propose to limit ourselves only to visual effects. Who knows, maybe you don't want to part with the craft after new year holidays... And we will do it from ordinary cardboard boxes.

	We lay out the boxes with the letter "P" and glue them together.
	For this purpose, use Moment-Crystal glue or such a glue for tiled ceilings.
	First glue the boxes two at a time, put a weight on top so that the glue seizes.
	We glue the fireplace stands.

	We lay out the next rows of bricks in a checkerboard pattern.
	The fireplace is ready. Install it and decorate.

Woodwork: star, wreath

Stars as an element of New Year's decor are not inferior in popularity to snowmen, Santa Claus and Snow Maidens. The closeness of Christmas affects, and we start the celebration at night. Let's try to make a big star out of wooden slats.

	For a Christmas star, you need a wooden box, in which vegetables and fruits are sold in the market.
	Remove three planks.
	The boards are quite wide, so we will cut them in half. Let's outline the middle for convenience.
	Sawing.
	Sand the boards so that there are no burrs. Don't forget about the corners.
	We need 5 such narrow creepers. Basically, if you have narrow slats, you can skip the steps listed above.
	Spray the strips bright red with a spray can.
	We fold the slats into a star and hammer them together with nails, on the back side we bend the nails.
	You should get a star like this.

Pom-pom crafts: a cozy wreath and a cute snowman

In winter, when you come home from work, and it's cold outside, it's dark, the wind howls, you want to wrap yourself in a soft warm blanket, eat a hearty meal, drink hot tea with mint, touch something fluffy (cats will do). Fluffiness causes a surge of peace in many. Pom-poms are one of those things that are pleasant to admire and which deliver a pleasant tactile sensation. Let's make some pom-poms crafts.

The first idea is a wreath.

	To make a wreath, you will need two skeins of thread of different colors - in this case brown and white, two cardboard blanks in the form of slingshots of a slightly different size, scissors.
	Wind the threads around the stencil.
	Pass the thread through the hole and pull off the wound threads.
	Remove the skein from the stencil and cut the threads on both sides with scissors.
	Make 10 large and 5 small pom-poms. Do the same with brown threads. There will be 30 pom-poms in total.
	Now you need a metal ring. It can be made from wire or a cheap metal hanger.
	Simply tie the pom poms to the metal base.
	Additionally, decorate the wreath with Christmas decorations.

You can use the most different elements decor for decorating a wreath, such as bells or bows. We have about tying bows.

Now let's make a snowman out of white threads.

	Take the thread. Wrap it around three fingers 170 times.
	Tie in the middle across.
	Cut the threads along the fold. Trim with scissors.
	Next, we wind the threads on 2 fingers 150 times. We do the same: remove, bandage, cut.
	Then we wind the threads only on the thumb 100 times.
	We take a cocktail tube and string the pom-poms on it. We cut off the excess.
	We make a nose, mouth, eyes, hands from thin twigs. We glue it.

You can make a New Year's composition by placing a snowman on a cut of a tree trunk, decorating it with painted cones, Christmas balls, fir branches, artificial snow.

Garlands for decorating the room and windows

Who among us in childhood did not make garlands at home with relatives or at labor lessons before the New Year? Now, by the way, there are significantly more opportunities for creativity, due to the availability of materials for needlework, but the Internet is simply replete with an abundance of ideas. You can decorate the nursery with garlands by hanging them from the ceiling. The child will not get to them, will not tear or get confused.

Paper garlands - all kinds of flags, chains, snowflakes - can be made by many, not everyone knows that felt is also used for this purpose. Let's make a garland with gingerbread men out of this material.

Garlands on the window look especially beautiful. If you choose the right material, then it will shimmer, reflecting both daylight and artificial light. We propose to decorate the window with a garland made of ordinary padding polyester, decorated with lurex.

	Gut a padding polyester pad, or get one at a craft store. Roll up small balls.
	Then wrap each ball with lurex.
	String the resulting blanks on the same lurex thread.
	To prevent the balls from piling up, drop a drop of hot glue onto the thread in the right places. It will not be visible due to the fact that it will drown in the synthetic winterizer, but the balls will hold in their places.
	You will get an excellent garland for the window opening.

To make a garland on the window, you can also use tinsel. You won't need a lot of it, since we will cut it into small pieces.

	After cutting a piece about 1 to 2 cm long, twist it and flatten it with your fingers.
	You should get such a blank.
	We do many, many details.
	Then we string the "snowflakes" on the fishing line. If you choose a thin line, it will not be visible at all, and it will turn out as if "snowflakes" are floating in the air - very beautiful.
	See how it looks.

You will find even more master classes on making Christmas garlands.

Candlesticks and lamps - creating a cozy atmosphere

Subdued light will create a secluded, calm atmosphere in the room, which is what you need if you are going to celebrate the New Year together. Although it is not a sin to decorate the room with candles in original candlesticks or LED lights to take a break from the hustle and bustle of long winter evenings.

When the reflections of the candle on the wall are combined with the indescribably cozy scent of cinnamon, it is doubly pleasant.

And inside a glass cup or vase, which is used as a candlestick, they recreate a winter forest in miniature. Want to try? The more interesting and detailed the composition, the better. except decorative trees made of paper, figures of people, snowmen, houses are placed there. This installation is very mesmerizing when it is lit by candlelight.

	You will need a round vase, salt, a candle, green colored paper, glue, toothpicks. Pour salt into a vase, place a tea candle inside.
	Cut out strips of 1.5 * 20 cm from colored paper.
	Let's make a small fringe.
	Cover the toothpicks with glue and wrap with colored paper, fringed up. Break off the excess part of the stick.
	Fluff up the fringe.
	Stick the trees into the makeshift snow.
	Decorate with beads.
	Draw snowflakes with a stroke, white outline, white marker or acrylic paints.
	The decorative candle is ready.

Another version of the candlestick is made from a whiskey glass, which is decorated with finely chopped tinsel.

In the beginning, we talked about lamps. How to implement the simplest option, read below

	Take an ordinary LED string, which is sold in almost any supermarket on New Year's Eve, and put it in a narrow tall glass.
	Cover the top of the glass with clear tape.
	Place the glass in the jar.
	Fill the space between the glass and the jar with artificial snow.
	Close the jar with a lid and turn on the garland. The room will be filled with soft, pleasant light.

Transformation of interior items

New Year's mood is created not only by special decorative items, but also by interior items. How you can decorate everyday things, see the master classes. For example, do you want to turn an ordinary chair into an original decorative item?

Now let's add a New Year's flavor to the room through decorative pillowcases. They are also suitable for decoration. sofa cushions in the living room and to decorate the bed in the bedroom.

	Take two pillowcases: one white, the other red, rhinestones, fabric paints, sequins, scissors, scotch tape, sheets of paper and a printout with a deer.
	For the first pillowcase, cut out a snowflake from a sheet of paper.
	Place something under the fabric inside the pillowcase, as paint can stain the other side of the pillowcase and the surface on which the pillowcase lies.
	Fix the snowflake with tape. Then, armed with a sponge and fabric paint, paint over the holes in the stencil.
	Peel off the stencil and decorate the pillowcase with rhinestones, glue them.
	Cut out the head of a deer from paper, use the sheet as a stencil.
	Paint over with golden metallic paint.
	We remove the stencil.

Panel. When you want more holiday

The more New Year's details, the more interesting. Do not disregard the shelves and bedside tables, decorate them with original panels.

	Take the blank for the panel. In this case, a canvas on a stretcher is used. Although it is possible to use cardboard painted with white paint.
	Tear off a piece of foil. Foil, which is intended for baking, is suitable.
	Tear off small pieces of foil and crush them to get irregular shapes.
	Having previously laid out all the pieces, stick double-sided tape on the back side.
	Glue all the pieces in place.

We will make another panel from threads. Let's make the background the most New Year's - red. To make a panel, prepare two identical rectangular sheets corrugated cardboard, hammer, acrylic paint red, double-sided tape, thick threads (you can knit), small carnations, a silhouette of a deer head printed on paper.

	We glue the cardboard with double-sided tape. If possible, you can take a wooden blank instead of cardboard.
	Now we evenly cover the entire cardboard with red paint.
	Don't forget about the edges either.
	If the panel is large, you do not need to print the template, but transfer the silhouette from the screen to sheets of paper glued together.
	Drive in the studs along the lines, especially where the contour line curves. Fill the middle with studs.
	Peel off the paper carefully.
	Tie a thread to one of the nails. Fill in the silhouette with threads not too tight. In order not to be mistaken, when winding threads, refer to the drawing. To select a path, you can walk along the path again.
	Drive a carnation into each corner and make a frame out of the threads.

	Now we will wrap the cone with knitting threads. Again, put the tip of the thread on hot glue, then, tightly laying the thread, wrap the entire cone. Finally, secure the thread with glue.
	We will decorate the Christmas tree with bows and beads. Make small ribbon bows.
	Use hot glue to secure the decor.

And how great it is to treat yourself or your children with sweets in anticipation of the holiday. Let's make a sweet calendar for December. It will be much more enjoyable to count the days until the New Year. The Christmas calendar is one of the attributes of European Christmas. But the idea is good: to eat candy every day and feel the approach of the holiday. Someone who, let alone children, will definitely be delighted with this decorative object, you will not be dragged by the ears.

	Take a hanger, wrapping paper, a ruler with a pencil, double-sided tape, scissors, scrap paper, candy.

	Wrap each candy in paper to form these “gifts”.
	Cut out rectangles or stars from scrap paper, in general, any shape, and write numbers from 1 to 31 on them.
	Punch holes in the rectangles with a hole punch, string them with string and tie around the wrapped candies.
	When everything is ready, tie all the candies to the hanger using twine.

Pendant toys: for the Christmas tree and for decoration

With toys that can be hung on a Christmas tree, you can perfectly paint a room, and not just a Christmas tree, especially since they are made from a variety of materials at hand. For example, use this decor to decorate windows, trees, walls.

	From glue on a piece of cellophane, which can be a regular file, draw a snowflake with hot glue.
	When the snowflake hardens, peel it off the cellophane.
	Sprinkle in some glitter. Apply a second layer of glue to the snowflake.
	Dip the snowflake in sparkles. They will stick where you applied the glue. You can make a multi-colored snowflake if you apply sparkles of the same color to some areas, and when the glue dries, coat other areas with glue and dip the snowflake in sparkles of a different color.
	It is better to apply glitter in parts so as not to be smeared with glue.

New Year's Eve days are filled with pleasant chores, you need to buy groceries, choose a lot of gifts, take care of your outfit. But do not forget about the decor of the premises. How do you plan to decorate the room for the New Year? Most of us don't think much about this question. As a rule, we take out toys, tinsel and garlands and quickly hang them up, not even noticing that the decor of the room does not change from year to year.

And if you approach the matter creatively and involve other family members in it, then another very pleasant and interesting New Year's tradition can appear in the house. You need to think over the style of the future decor in advance, buy or make new jewelry details yourself.

Various ideas for decorating a room for the New Year can be found in magazines that cover interior design issues. The photos presented there are mesmerizing with their incredible beauty. One problem - in magazines, as a rule, decoration options are presented. spacious rooms private cottages with fireplaces and bay windows. But what if you live in an ordinary apartment of a small area?

Don't worry! It is quite possible to beautifully decorate a room with your own hands, even if its area is not striking with its size.

Christmas tree

Of course, the main element of the New Year's decor is the Christmas tree. It can be a living tree with a height for the ceiling or a small artificial Christmas tree. The choice is determined by the size of the room. If the room is cramped, you can do without a Christmas tree at all by buying several spruce branches, from which you can easily make a beautiful New Year's bouquet.

To do this, you need to put the branches in any suitable vase and decorate them with balls and rain. You can wrap the vase itself with tinsel and decorate our composition.

From spruce branches it is easy to make a beautiful wreath, which is usually hung on front door... Making this decor item is not difficult at all. This will require a wire. From a rather thick wire, you need to roll a ring - this will be the base of the wreath. Then using flexible thin wire, you need to start attaching spruce branches to the base. To decorate the wreath, we take Christmas tree decorations, cones, ribbons and bows.

You can make a wreath for a door or window from cones. To do this, you will first need to cut the base in the shape of a foam ring. Then you need to wrap the legs of the cones with wire and stick this wire into the foam base so that it goes right through. On the reverse side, the "tail" of the wire must be bent so that the bump is held firmly. To make a wreath, you will need a lot of cones, you need to make sure that the base is not visible. You can use red or gold ribbons to decorate the wreath.

Small decorative "Christmas trees" can also be made from cones. A simple version of such a decorative craft:

• take a big cone, paint it in green color... You can use silver or gold instead of green paint;

• Place the cone, stem down, on a stand or in a small flower pot;

• to decorate our improvised Christmas tree, we use colored beads.

To make a large Christmas tree from cones, you will first need to roll a cone out of thick cardboard. The size of this cone will determine the size of our craft. Then you need to file the back of the cones, giving them a flat shape. We glue our cones using a hot glue gun to the base.

You need to place the cones tightly, glue the largest ones at the bottom, on the wide part of the cone. You can decorate a Christmas tree made of cones in different ways. Beads and bows from satin ribbons, rain or tinsel. Or you can do it differently: even before assembling the tree, paint the cones and sprinkle them with sparkles, then our product will sparkle and shimmer without decorations. With the help of such an improvised Christmas tree, you can decorate a small room for the New Year.

Garlands

A mandatory attribute of the New Year is a variety of garlands - electric and homemade. You can decorate a Christmas tree with a garland or hang it on the walls. Electric garlands must be bought ready-made, they are presented in a wide range and have quite affordable prices.

But homemade garlands are rarely used today to decorate rooms. And yet they look pretty impressive. For example, it is very easy to make cute corrugated paper garlands. Necessary:

• cut long strips of the same width from corrugated paper of different colors (we choose the sizes arbitrarily, depending on the desired result);

• Frequent cuts should be made along the edge of each strip to create a fringe. Make sure that the cuts end at least 2 cm before the edge of the strip;

• now you need to take two strips of a contrasting color and twist them together into a flagellum;

• we got a fluffy garland that can be hung over a window or door, or you can hang it from the ceiling.

Garlands of lanterns look cute, which must first be cut out of colored paper and strung on a strong thread.

Window

You can beautifully decorate a room without a Christmas tree, but New Year's decor without window decorations will be incomplete. There are many options for decorating a window:

• various garlands;
• paper figures;
• decorative "curtains", etc.

The most common option is to decorate the window with snowflakes. They can be bought ready-made, but it is much more interesting to cut them out of paper yourself. You can even arrange a competition between family members, whose snowflake will turn out to be the most beautiful and delicate.

Snowflakes are glued to the glass by simply dampening the paper with a little water. For greater effect, you can spray on top of "artificial snow" from a can.

To decorate windows, you can use other images; they are cut out not only from white, but also from colored paper. Images can be copied from children's books or drawn by yourself. It can be Christmas bells, silhouettes of snowmen, or whole New Year's stories. Everything will depend on your artistic ability and patience.

Another option for decorating a window is New Year's "curtains". You can beautifully decorate the window with a rain, fixed on the cornice instead of tulle. Instead of rain, you can hang thin satin ribbons of different lengths on the cornice. At the free ends of the ribbons, Christmas balls, gilded cones, dried orange circles are fixed.

An interesting version of the New Year's curtain will turn out if you make a lot of small pompoms from multi-colored threads in advance (you can take yarn with the addition of lurex so that the pompoms shine in the light). Then the pom-poms are attached in a chaotic manner to the line segments that are fixed to the cornice. In order for the line segments to hang evenly, you need to attach some kind of "weighting agent", for example, a metal bell, to the lower end of each of them. Such a pretty curtain can also be hung in the doorway.

Candles

V new year decor candles are often used. Today you can buy a variety of candles, but in order to decorate the room in an original way, you should make your own candlesticks.

It is very easy to make a beautiful candlestick from a glass. In the house, you can often find one or two glasses that were left from the set. They can be used to make a beautiful candlestick. The leg and edge of the glass can be decorated with braid, rhinestones, beads, and a flat tablet candle can be placed inside. For the New Year holidays, you should choose scented candles with the smell of citrus, cinnamon, vanilla and, of course, pine needles. These scents are associated with home comfort and the New Year.

Original "flashlights" can be made from ordinary glass jars... Small volume jars (200 grams) of original shape are especially suitable for these purposes. The outside can be wrapped with lace braid, and a candle can be put inside. If lace is not available, you can use foil or paper to cut beautiful silhouettes. Backlit by a candle placed inside a jar, these silhouettes will cast whimsical shadows.

For table decoration, it is worth choosing floating candles. You need to take a small crystal vase, pour some water into it and place a few flat candles. You can sprinkle some sparkles on top to make our composition look even more festive.

Features of decorating a nursery

When planning to decorate a nursery for the New Year, you need to think not only about beauty, but also about safety. However, one should not forget about safety when decorating other rooms, since it is unlikely that children sit in their room without getting out.

Here are the basic rules:

• if your baby is less than five years old, then try to place jewelry at such a height that the child cannot reach them from the floor;

• small toys that a child may accidentally swallow or stuff into his nose is better not to be used to decorate rooms where babies are;

• you should not use glass Christmas tree toys, now you can find beautiful and safe balls from polymer materials, they will not break, even if they fall to the floor from a height;

• if there are kids in the house, it is better to do without using New Year's compositions with burning candles;

• the tree must be very carefully secured so that it does not tip over from accidental touch.

So, decorating rooms for the New Year is a very exciting creative process. Think over the decor in advance so that you have time to make various elements... After all, it is the handmade jewelry that makes the decor interesting and unique.
