How to decorate a room for the New Year: creating family traditions. We decorate the house for the New Year We make the New Year's decor of the room

Hello everyone! Today I decided to supplement my article with new pictures. There I also mentioned about balloons, but I could not put many examples, as there are a lot of photos with ideas.

And more ... If you combine the design of the room with a scenario where there will be a lot of entertainment with balloons, it will be great! Here are mine for a children's party.

How to decorate a room with balloons for a home party

We will not consider how professionals do it. They have a skill, special equipment and a large number of ideas with which, for obvious reasons, they do not share with us :-).

I have selected ideas that, in my opinion, are not so difficult to implement. Let's conditionally separate decorations from balloons on "Flying" and "Ordinary".

Let's start with the usual ones. The professionals have the concept of "primitives" - several options for simple shapes from balls, from which complex arches and columns are made. I cannot explain in words, let's see how the master does it (he will show how to make a simple and complex flower to decorate a room with balls) &

Make such primitives ( simple elements - blanks) from 4 balls easily. You can fasten it using special easy-to-remove hooks, they are available in all hardware stores.

These primitives can be intertwined with each other or simply used as single elements. If you use heart balloons, you get even more beautiful flowers.

How to make simple bouquets from balloons

I hope you have enough patience :-). Here master Class for making a bouquet of balls:

What else can you do with helium-free balloons?

I don’t know about you, but the colorful balls scattered chaotically on the floor immediately set me up for fun and holiday hooliganism. In my opinion, this is very cool (I remind you about :-)!

I also really like the palm trees from long balls... I don’t know what kind of trunk you’ll come up with for such a palm tree (professionals make it like a garland of primitives), but the “leaves” look very impressive. I think everyone can just tie 10-15 pieces into a bundle. The “orange” version resembles exotic flowers. Here are the pictures:

You can also order a surprise balloon! True, you can't do it yourself - you need special equipment. At first, he simply decorates the room (you need to hang it high from the ceiling), and then he will delight the little guests great effect... The fact is that a huge ball is filled with small balls, serpentine and small toys. At the most significant moment of the holiday, you need to find a way to pierce it with a needle ... Bah-bang !!! And the whole room, and the screaming children - everything is strewn with colorful happiness :-).

Numbers

Well, it's quite simple, as online stores offer foil balloons in the form of multi-colored numbers. Inflate, fasten with double-sided tape to wooden, plastic and glass surfaces. Sizes are different - from 40 cm to 1 meter.

Now about balloons with helium

Quite a lot of shops that sell flowers, souvenirs or offer gift wrapping have a helium bottle. You can come with your own balloons and inflate for a fee.

If you need a lot of balls, it makes sense to order with delivery.

How to decorate a room with helium balloons

There are, of course, much more opportunities here. Once again, I have eliminated all complex shapes from the balls that require special skills to make.

Foil balloons live the longest. They are expensive, but they also stay in the air for several weeks. You can pick up inflatable figures on the theme of the holiday, and nothing more to be wise.

Helium balloons can be put into free flight under the ceiling:

Tie in bundles and place the "bouquet" in the center of the table with a weighting agent or tie it to a cord to create an arch:

Ball fountains

I like these decorations most of all, since the effort is minimal, and the structures are large and very noticeable. If they are made at a height of 170-200 cm, it feels like there are columns in the room. You can also attach one ball to a weighting agent (usually this is also a ball, slightly filled with water). Tied together on ribbons of different lengths, the balls form an incomparable fountain. Like that:

Walking balls

The figure of Mickey (130-140 cm high) is inflated with helium, but at the same time does not take off, since there are weights in the legs. The children ran around, creating air currents from which Mickey also began to move. Such a handsome man costs about 900 rubles (already with helium). There are also Winnie-the-Pooh, Luntik, giraffes, cows, hares.

I hope you now have enough ideas to decorate the room with balloons on your own! Let your child's birthday always be the most wonderful holiday!
These ideas are not just for home celebrations.

By the way, the room can be decorated with ready-made paper balls and stars.

Here are examples of design:

Honeycomb balls ()

Accordion balls ()

Preparing home for the New Year is already a tradition that people love so much different ages... They decorate in different ways: they cut out snowflakes, mold small snowmen from cotton wool, take out tinsel and balls on the Christmas tree - who loves what and who is used to what.

Balls or large sticky ones will also work. You can put miniature Christmas trees on a desktop or a windowsill, so that no one will be left without a New Year's miracle.

Cutting a variety of snowflakes, green Christmas trees from colored paper, silhouettes of animals and birds, even letters to write a congratulation to others is perfect for family evening... You can stick them on the glass or simply pin them to the curtains, thereby creating a festive atmosphere.

You can come up with these decorations yourself, showing your imagination to the maximum, or you can buy stencils. Houses, a sleigh, and a Snow Maiden sitting in it, frisky deer, snowmen and squirrels - the assortment is so huge that it is impossible to list everything.

T so that everyone can find a picture to their liking, and with due interest, also a whole picture with details and details! For the most sophisticated, there are also sticky options!

The matter is not limited to stickers: wreaths, garlands, painted little birds, tinsel and "rain" - you can use whatever you want. Wreaths are very different, you can even weave them yourself, to the delight of yourself and your loved ones. All of this will create a very special atmosphere that we miss so much in the summer.

Look up

If there is not very much space or there are naughty pets or small children in the family, an option that will not touch the floor and thereby provoke an attack is perfect.

Decorate the room on New Year 2019 will help phosphorus stars and planets, they are good for this time of the year, moreover, after the holidays they can be left on an ongoing basis - who does not want to look at the stars before bed? Usually, there are a lot of them in stores, so everyone will find what they are looking for. Colored lamps are also used.

Garlands can comfortably sit under the ceiling, whether with colored lanterns or made by hand. Walls can also be decorated with figures and snowflakes.

The most noticeable thing on the ceiling is the chandelier. She is also in dire need of decoration. Here you can use rain or Christmas balls, falling snowflakes gently swaying from any breeze, or spruce branches exuding a delicate forest scent.

Furniture and fireplaces

Decorating the table for the New Year 2019 is simple. It will become especially solemn if you decorate it with a special tablecloth, a vase with gingerbread cookies (why not try making it yourself?), Sweets or completely inedible things - pine cones or bright Christmas tree balls.

You can even use Christmas tree branches and wreaths, various candles and candlesticks, figurines and crafts. Anything that can have a connection with this wonderful holiday.

Everyone at least once in his life dreamed of being "like in that movie" and celebrating New Year and Christmas by a warm fireplace, crackling fire and soft light. Those who are fortunate enough to have a fireplace at home can decorate it.

But be careful! The fire is insidious, do not have flammable jewelry, it can end badly.

Will look great fir branches - nice and cozy. In addition, fresh twigs exude essential oils, which has a beneficial effect on humans. You can cook artificial snow and arrange a small tender scene about the tireless snowman and his gifts under the tree.

The fireplace is decorated with flags and wreaths, you can plant a soft toy in a New Year's red cap, put a couple of candlesticks, lay out pine cones ... and tinsel! You can buy toy sleighs or Christmas socks where you can easily put small gifts.

Decorative pillows

There is another way to decorate a room for the New Year 2019, only this time you don't have to cut and glue. It is graceful and useful way bring a festive atmosphere even where other decorations would be inappropriate.

Small sofa cushions with christmas pattern will look beneficial anywhere. There are several ways to make these decorations by hand:

Use old sweaters and shirts. After all, each of you has the "same" T-shirt with deer, which you can no longer wear, but cool print? There is a great reason to give her a second life.
Just stitch.Can be made from any soft fabric or felt. It doesn't take long, and it takes less fabric than you might think.
You can embroider with satin stitch or a cross on anything.There are many schemes on various sites or in stores, but remember! Do not embroider immediately with a cross on the fabric! First, a special fabric is applied to it - a canvas - and then they just embroider. So the drawing turns out smoother and more correct at times.

In case you don't have time for creativity at all, you can buy pillowcases with the desired pattern.

Garlands

As you have probably already noticed, you can decorate anything with garlands, even an ordinary house palm tree with them seems special and New Year's.

Of course, there are unspoken rules that must be followed so that an elegant decoration does not turn into a bright bad taste:

Moderate lighting. An excess of bright blinking light from a garland is as bad as complete darkness. You can do a tricky thing - place the garland in only one place, and not throughout the room, then you get a cozy island of light.
Think about outlets in advance. It will be very ugly if the extension cords have to be pulled across the room.

Remember that garlands that are solid and unblinking are more pleasant and peaceful.

Ordinary garlands are made from:

Paper glued in different ways.
From felt, cutting out figures according to the pattern.
From cotton wool - roll up medium-sized lumps and put them on a thread.
From cones to threads.
From threads - pompons, braids intertwined, bright and intertwined.
From tree branches collected in the forest or left over from an old tree.

Inexpensive DIY jewelry

It is not always possible to spend a lot on decorations in the New Year, and some people themselves do not want this, preferring more budget options or even "as before". The New Year itself is associated with serious expenses, but what to do? After all, diversity is necessary so that such a bright event does not become boring from year to year.

It turns out that jewelry can be made with your own hands and very budget:

Paper-cut figurines on the windows.
Various paper crafts.
Crafts made from fir branches and cones are an eco-friendly decoration that can even replace a Christmas tree.
Felt toys.
Gingerbread Cookie. This is a pig in 2019, so you can make adorable patchwork cookies.
Cakes and salads in the form of a symbol to decorate the table for the New Year 2019.

In addition to being cheap, such decorations are very simple to design, how to make some of them we can consider right now. Let's start with a delicious decoration.

Gingerbread

Gingerbread is a great treat for both children and adults. They, spicy and tart, are associated with the holiday, joy and gifts. Unfortunately, not everyone likes classic recipe, after all, spices are still a delicate matter and require special treatment.

Why not hang these same gingerbread on the tree? Both delicious and nice to see!

There are so many recipe options, one of which, softer than the original version, is presented below.

We will need:

eggs - 3 pcs.;
butter - 150 g;
flour - 300-400 g;
soda, slaked in vinegar - 0.5 tsp;
sugar - 300 g;
nutmeg, salt;
ground cinnamon - 1-2 tsp;
chopped orange peel - 1-2 tsp;
vanilla sugar - 10 g;
vanillin.

What do we have to do:

Rub some frozen butter on a coarse grater and rub it with sugar.
Add eggs and mix everything thoroughly.
Add spices and vanilla sugar.
Add flour and knead the dough.
We roll it out less than half a centimeter thick. We form cookies by cutting out figures with special molds. Thus, you can make gingerbread men.
With a pencil we make holes in each blank for future ribbons, for which we will hang sweets on branches.
We bake at 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
Cooking the icing. Take egg white, icing sugar and a little lemon juice. Beat the ingredients with a mixer, gradually adding the powder. You can use food coloring to colorize the lettering.
As soon as the cookies cool down, decorate with icing.

Salty dough

Salted dough is another good base for making crafts, in cases where there is no opportunity or desire to buy figurines and jewelry. For example, you can sculpt a piece of jewelry or a cute little figurine to decorate a shelf with books. If the family has children, then you can take them too, this perfectly develops fine motor skills.

For an example of a Christmas tree decoration, a lamb is perfect; to create it, in addition to salt dough, we need acrylic paint, a stationery knife and a toothpick. In fact, everything is very simple, and you can see for yourself. Let's get started!

Step by step guide:

We make a medium-sized cake and a small ball.
Twist the sausage and divide it into 4 parts (2 of them are smaller), these will be the legs.
After we imitate wool with a toothpick or wooden stick and we make recesses for the peephole, there we fix the previously molded eyes.
Attach the remaining details and sculpted decorations.
Remember the need for a hole where we will push the tape in order to hang the toy on the Christmas tree. It's time for the lamb to dry.
When the lamb is ready, we color it.
In fact, you can blind absolutely any animal like that.

Some more examples of decoration

Decorations made of beads and beads will look unusual and very beautiful, so you can safely use wicker toys and balls, this will attract the attention of guests, and the play of light in the beads' edges ... it's definitely worth seeing!

Pom-pom pig - a soft and simple version of jewelry that does not require any skills at all. Even small childif you ask him to help you, and it's also a fun family activity!

Do you love to do new Year decoration with your own hands?

You need to cut out two circles from cardboard with a hole in the center, take a whole ball of thick threads of the color that is at hand or of your choice. It should be wound through the center, carefully and a lot, so that the cardboard is completely hidden. Then you should cut the joints of the threads along the edge of the circle, and remove the cardboard.

Do not forget to tie it with a thread, and then fluff it up, otherwise the pompom will not work. The only thing left is to draw eyes and a patch on paper or cardboard and glue it onto the resulting lush ball. You can decorate such a pig as you like.

From old socks that have long lost their pair, but for some reason have not been thrown away, and cereals, you can make very charming little snowmen. Rice is best. It is very simple to make such a toy: fill the sock with cereal, and then tie it with a ribbon, thereby forming the head and torso.

You can decorate it with bows, a bucket glued from paper or cardboard, a bright New Year's hat, button eyes, and also whatever you wish.

Another very common decoration is ribbon sweets. Above, an option with cookies was already presented, but if it is still used infrequently, preferring cookies in vases, then lollipops and chocolate candies hung up for every New Year. Take lollipops and wrap each with beautiful gift paper to hide the name, thereby add a surprise effect, and tie ribbons to them.

If there is no wrapping paper, it is allowed to hang sweets just like that, in candy wrappers, but this option is not so interesting and festive, although it is just as tasty.

DIY felt toys. Felt is considered one of best materials for needlework, and therefore for our toys. It lends itself perfectly to cutting and sewing, working with the fabric is simple and convenient, because the fabric is dense, and its edges do not crumble.

A holiday should always be a holiday, this is its essence. The New Year is a little special because it requires preparation and planning, buying or making decorations, preparing a large amount of food and gathering the whole family. This holiday allows you to express yourself, to remember that there is creativity in everyone.

Jewelry making is very important point, it undoubtedly brings people together who sculpt from salt dough or cut snowflakes, or do any other craft together. This is a chance to talk, be heard and understood. Home decoration for the New Year 2019 could be for you starting point in many things.

Talk with your loved ones, give them warmth, a divider of hobbies and look for yourself exactly that pre-holiday business that you like. There are infinitely many decorations that you can make with your own hands - you will definitely find something for yourself.

Do you want to plunge into a wonderful New Year's fairy tale without spending a lot of money on interior decoration? We will tell you how to decorate an apartment for the New Year stylishly and effectively with minimal investment to leave more money on the rich festive table and the most best gifts for loved ones.

Starting with the basics

Decorating an apartment and a Christmas tree is a real art. This is where knowledge comes in handy design techniques, delicate taste and skillful hands. If you just hang all the decorations in the house, you can end up with a messy and tastelessly decorated apartment. But even newbies shouldn't despair: our tips will help you easily cope with the task and turn the process of decorating your home into a pleasant and exciting experience.

Tip: Before you start decorating, think over the concept festive interior, present the big picture in advance. This will help you choose the right jewelry and get a result that will delight you and surprise your guests.

First step: picking colors

There are 2 options here: you can choose the classic New Year's color scheme or refer to the eastern calendar, according to which the White Metal Rat will become the symbol of the coming year.

Tip: to make the interior harmonious and stylish, do not use more than 2-3 primary colors. Combine with each other large quantity tones are much more complicated.

Traditional New Year's color combinations:

red and gold;
silver and yellow;
brown;
natural green.

Having decided on the color scheme, try to stick to it when choosing decorations: Christmas tree decorations, garlands, tinsel, ribbons and other New Year's attributes.

Good news for those who want to be in trend: the colors that "like" the hostess of the next year - the Rat - and correspond to the elements of the Earth, remain the same as last year, which means that you can leave some of the decorations from the last holiday. Suitable:

blue;
blue;
purple;
turquoise;
silver;
golden;
beige;
pistachio;
coffee.

You can revive and dilute these neutral and calm colors with red, orange, and gold. White is also acceptable, but in limited quantities to emphasize the basic tones.

Step two: choose materials

As you prepare for 2020, it is worth minimizing your use of traditional materialsbought in kiosks and shops - tinsel, plastic balls, garlands. The rat loves comfort, and in order for the decorations to match the symbol and elements of the year, they must be made of natural and natural materials. Suitable for us:

wood;

metal;
stones and minerals;

clay;
ceramics and glass;
paper;

dry branches;
cones;

spruce and pine needles;
sweet decorations - sweets, lollipops, gingerbread;

fruits - tangerines, oranges, apples, dried orange circles;
the cloth;

tree bark;

tapes;
linen cord, thread and yarn;

nuts (the rat's favorite treat);
vine and straw;

dried flowers;
spices - cinnamon sticks, star anise stars, cloves.

Natural jewelry - fashion trend, besides, it is quite inexpensive and very beautiful!

You can add elegance to natural accessories with the help of white, gold and silver paint, sparkles in spray cans (glitter).

By the way, it is desirable that the symbol of the New Year's holiday is also natural. Let the artificial Christmas tree stand for another year in the closet or on the balcony, and a real forest beauty will take pride of place. Those for whom the spruce branches do not seem lush enough can choose pine. Perfect option - living treegrowing in a pot.

Step three: prepare the decor

At this stage, we buy or make with our own hands decorations that we decided to use to create a festive atmosphere. Let's take a look at the most interesting and creative ideas.

Christmas wreath

The classic attribute of the New Year, which is usually hung on front door, moved to us from Western countries. You can make it from anything: from fir branches, balls, cones, beads, paper, ribbons, tinsel and any natural materials.

Prepare the base. The flat base is a cardboard ring 10 cm wide, the volumetric one is a newspaper rolled into a ring.
With wire and glue gun fix the spruce branches on the base, which should completely close it. Or decorate the ring with a cloth beautiful paper, twine, twigs.
On top, fix cones, berries, dried flowers, balls, Christmas decorations, spices, ribbons, paper snowflakes or others with hot glue decorative elements.
Decorate the wreath with gold paint, sparkles, artificial snow.

Take as a basis nice pictures or come up with your own original version!

Table Christmas trees

A large Christmas tree is usually installed in the hall, miniature copies can be placed in other rooms.

The easiest way to create a small decorative Christmas tree:

Of thick paper make a cone.
Apply glue or fix double-sided tape, wrap with tinsel, cloth, threads.
Glue stones, beads, balls, bows, cones, jewelry, tiny gift boxes - whatever you want.
Add paint or glitter as needed.

Christmas candles

Beautiful candles will be a great addition to your New Year's decor. Themed products in the form of houses, Christmas trees, snowmen and Santa Clauses are not cheap and do not always fit organically into the interior. You can take ordinary candles, preferably thick ones, and decorate them or arrange interesting compositions, as in the photo.

Suitable for these purposes:

glasses on thin legs;

beautiful spices;

fabric or knitted "shirts";

rope and thread;
cans and plain paper;

natural materials.

Vases with cones

Unusually simple but effective and original decoration... We paint the cones with paint in cans in bright colors, if desired, grease with PVA and sprinkle with sparkles, put them in transparent vases.

If you alternate cones with christmas balls, you don't have to paint them: the natural color will contrast well with bright toys.

Another option is silver and gilded cones mixed with nuts and balls of the same colors.

Tip: the composition with cones can be supplemented with a monochromatic glowing garland.

Don't think that paper jewelry looks cheap and undignified. Made by skillful hands, they are admirable. We offer you to choose the most beautiful and stylish paper garlands that you can make yourself or with your children.

Christmas trees. Greens go well with red or gold stars. If the background is bright and colored, they can be white.

Circles. They look spectacular on windows, shelves, chandeliers. Circles are cut from thick paper, sewn on sewing machine... The distance between adjacent elements is 0.5-1 cm.

Asterisks, snowflakes, mice. They are made in the same way as the previous garland, only the circles are replaced with the corresponding figures.

Decorative fireplace

It's great when the apartment has a fireplace: it will become the second most important item after the Christmas tree and will make the room even more festive and cozy. It is not necessary to buy an electric fireplace; a high-quality imitation will be enough to create a New Year's atmosphere.

False fireplace can be made of drywall, detailed instructions is . Such a product is durable and will delight the owners for many years.

For budget option, which will only be used on holiday, ordinary cardboard boxes will do.

You can use any materials at hand - plywood, wood, and even foam, as in the next photo.

Tip: candles or a garland with yellow or red lights will help simulate a fire burning in a fireplace. And you can decorate it with wreaths, tinsel, pine needles, socks for gifts.

Step four: decorate the house

Our main decorations are made, purchased items that cannot be made by ourselves, such as electric garlands. It's time for a fabulous home makeover!

Window

So, how can you decorate windows:

traditional paper snowflakes glued to glass;

compositions from natural materials;
electric lights fixed in the form of a light panel;
paper garlands or flags.

Tip: a composition of any materials laid out in the form of a New Year tree will look unusual. It will replace the symbol of the holiday in rooms where a large Christmas tree was not placed - in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the nursery, or in one-room apartmentwhere there is very little space.

Ceiling

The ceiling does not need a lot of decorations, but garlands, tinsel, hanging balls on ribbons, snowflakes and stars will be quite appropriate. They can be mounted both on the ceiling itself and on the chandelier.

Festive table

For decoration new Year's table you need to choose the right tablecloth. It's good if it matches the general colors and have nice edging. Or you can lay 2 tablecloths: the lower one is bright, it will be fun to look out from under the upper one, made in a neutral color.

Candles, bows decorating cutlery, holiday themed napkins will look good on the table. In the center of the table, you can set the symbol of the coming year - a figurine, a piggy bank or a toy depicting a rat.

We decorate the Christmas tree

To make the Christmas tree stylish and beautiful, and not tasteless and sloppy, you need to dress it up according to all the rules.

First, an electric garland is hung, and only then - tinsel, balls and other toys. In this case, the lanterns will shine among the branches without obscuring the rest of the decor.

To keep the tree well lit, you need to use a sufficient number of bulbs. On a tree 1 m high, at least 100 lights are required.
The size of the toys must match the dimensions of the tree. It is desirable to decorate a large tall tree with large balls, a small one with smaller toys.
The colors of the Christmas tree decorations should match the tone of the room decor.

Correct placement of decorations will emphasize the natural shape of the tree: large items should be hung at the bottom and in the middle, small ones higher.
In addition to the usual Christmas balls and traditional snowflakes, you can use bows, small gift boxes, cute felt figurines of rats, family photos and crafts made from natural materials.

Rain, glass balls, glitter, artificial snow will help to make the festive tree shiny and sparkling.
It is better to drape the crosspiece or a bucket of sand with the tree in it with a cloth or mask it with colored or corrugated paper.

In the next video, the designer will give several useful tips for decorating a Christmas tree.

	Make a 40 x 12 cm rectangle out of cardboard.
	Fold the blank into a box with 10 cm sides.

Continuing the topic of heating

smile

You should definitely remember about such a Christmas and New Year's attribute as a fireplace. The warmth emanating from the hearth, the crackling of firewood in a real fireplace, of course, cannot be compared with anything, but such a luxury happens only in a country house, and even then not everyone gets it, so we propose to limit ourselves only to visual effects. Who knows, maybe you won't want to part with the craft after the New Year holidays. And we will do it from ordinary cardboard boxes.

	We lay out the boxes with the letter "P" and glue them.
	For this purpose, use Moment-Crystal glue or such a glue for tiled ceilings.
	Glue the boxes two at a time, put a weight on top so that the glue seizes.
	We glue the fireplace stands.
	The mantel can be strengthened by gluing several sheets of cardboard.
	We cut the cardboard to size and glue the sheets together.
	You can glue the fireplace with cardboard from all sides.
	Glue back wall and the bottom.
	Place the fireplace on a pedestal. We make it from 6 sheets of cardboard glued together.
	We glue the pedestal to the fireplace.
	Glue the joints and corners with newspaper, placing it on PVA glue.
	When this job is done, paint the fireplace with white acrylic paint.
	Take a sheet of styrofoam 2 cm thick. Pour the styrofoam 4-5 cm wide. Cut first into strips, then into bricks.
	In principle, bricks 1 cm thick will be enough, so we cut the bricks in half again.
	We glue thick bricks with the first row, they form a decorative side.
	We lay out the next rows of bricks in a checkerboard pattern.
	The fireplace is ready. Install it and decorate.
	Inside must necessarily lie glowing garland, it is she who will replace the light of a real fire.

Wood products: star, wreath

Stars as an element of New Year's decor are not inferior in popularity to snowmen, Santa Claus and Snow Maidens. The proximity of Christmas affects, and we are planning a 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 boards.
	The boards are quite wide, so we 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.
	Use a spray can of paint to paint the slats bright red.
	We fold the slats into a star and hammer them together with nails, bend the nails on the back side.
	You should get such a star.
	Now wrap the whole star with an electric garland.

In Hollywood movies, even in Home Alone, you could see that wreaths are used for decoration. It is not necessary to take spruce branches for this purpose, we will do with ordinary branches without leaves.

Crafts from pom poms: a cozy wreath and a cute snowman

In winter, when you return home from work, and it's cold outside, it's dark, the wind is howling, 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 pleasant tactile sensations. Let's make some pom-poms crafts.

The first idea is a wreath.

	To make a wreath, you need two skeins of thread 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.
	Just tie the pom poms to the metal base.
	Additionally decorate the wreath christmas decorations.

You can use a variety of decorative elements to decorate your wreath, such as bells or bows. We have about tying bows.

Now let's make a snowman from white threads.

	Take the thread. Wind it around 170 times with three fingers.
	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.
	Take a cocktail tube and string the pom-poms onto it. We cut off the excess.
	We make a nose, mouth, eyes, hands from thin twigs. We glue.

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 in 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 reach them, 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 of ordinary synthetic winterizer, 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 bunching together, drop a drop of hot glue on 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 for the window, you can also use tinsel. It will not need much, since we will cut it into small pieces.

	After cutting off 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 "snowflakes" on the fishing line. If you choose a thin line, then 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 New Year's 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 lamps made of LED garlands 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. Besides 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 acrylics.
	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 to 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.
	We paint over with golden metallic paint.
	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 you can also use cardboard painted with white paint.
	Tear off a piece of foil. Foil is suitable for baking.
	Tear off small pieces of foil and crush them to get irregular shapes.
	Having previously laid out all the pieces, stick on back side Double-sided tape.
	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 piece of wood instead of cardboard.
	Now evenly cover the entire cardboard with red paint.
	Do not forget about the edges too.
	If the panel is large, you do not have 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 the path again.
	Drive a carnation into each corner and make a frame out of the threads.
	The result of the work looks as if you purchased this craft in the department of decorative items and gifts.

Other souvenirs

There is literally nowhere without New Year's souvenirs. You can not only decorate with them, you can also give them. Crafts in which you have invested a piece of your soul are likely to be accepted with great enthusiasm and gratitude. It would seem that there is a small boot with spruce branches, a cone-shaped Christmas tree made of cardboard, but how many of these products contain the anticipation of the holiday.

	To make such a boot, we use a plastic capsule from a chocolate egg.
	Let's cut it in two by cutting the connecting jumper.
	Mark the smaller part with a marker.
	Cut off the curved part with scissors.
	The remaining parts should be folded into a boot.
	Take a piece of paper and circle the bottom of the boot. We cut in. This is a template for making a "sole".
	Cut out the sole according to the pattern from dense black felt.
	Glue the boot details to the sole with hot glue. First, a larger part, then a smaller part.
	We also glue the parts together. We cut the sole if there are protruding areas.
	Now we glue the boot with red felt. Apply glue to the edge of the sole and glue a piece of felt in a circle.
	At the junction, cut off the excess and glue the joint.
	We cut off the excess length of the material, but not end-to-end.
	Fix the fabric on the front of the boot. Inside, apply a drop of glue approximately in the middle and press the fabric with your finger.
	Then we fix the two side folds with glue.
	Cut off the excess from above.
	With the help of white felt we imitate the fur edge of the boot.
	We glue the decor in the area of \u200b\u200bthe folds.
	We put several artificial twigs in the boot.
	We decorate the twigs.

The computer desk or the place where you work at home also needs to be decorated in a New Year's way. Let's make a Christmas tree in the form of a topiary. Putting it somewhere in the corner, you will remember that the New Year is coming soon, which means that New Year's holidays are close and you can give yourself a long-awaited rest.

	Let's wrap the cardboard cup in wrapping paper.
	Cut the protruding areas with a blade.
	Now let's make the base of the Christmas tree out of cardboard in the form of a cone.
	We glue the cone with PVA glue. In addition to the cardboard cone, you can use a commercially available foam cone.
	Align lower part Christmas trees to keep it stable.
	Circle the "bottom" of the Christmas tree on a piece of paper. Cut it out.
	Insert a piece of Styrofoam inside the tree.
	Apply glue and glue the cut out cardboard circle.
	A tree trunk can be made from sushi sticks. Decorate them with ribbons if desired. To do this, secure the edge of the tape with a drop of hot glue and wrap the stick. Insert the stick into the center of the tree, digging it into the foam.
	Now we will wrap the cone with knitting threads. Again, put the end 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.
	Cut a small star out of red felt and decorate the top of the tree with it.
	To install the Christmas tree in a glass, take plaster of paris and dilute it with water, according to the instructions. Place the tree in a glass and wait for the plaster to harden.
	Pour artificial snow on top and, having smeared the edges of the glass with hot glue, glue the artificial snow there too.

The house, which we will now tell you how to make, can be used as a receptacle for papers on the desktop, as a napkin holder, as a gift bag for light gifts, and much more.

	Take sheet A4 and draw the house itself and all the elements with which it will be decorated. Cut it out.
	We will draw a Christmas tree on the house.
	Now we will cut out all the felt details. First, cut out the front and back of the house, the two side pieces and the bottom from red felt.
	Now cut out the elements from the paper that should be white and green. Transfer them to the appropriate color felt.
	We cut out a window from green felt, as well as a herringbone, dividing it into several parts by tiers, snow on the roof of the house - from white felt - all in duplicate for two sides.
	Now we glue the house. We glue the bottom to one of the halves with hot glue.
	Then the side parts. We glue them to the bottom.
	Here's a house has already turned out.
	We glue white felt parts on the roof and pipe, as well as the Christmas tree backing.
	Then we glue the window, the trunk of the Christmas tree made of brown felt. And the tiers are green with a yellow star on top.
	Glue a handle cut out of the same red felt.

Christmas calendar

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 a piece of candy every day and feel the approach of the holiday. Someone who, let alone children, will definitely be delighted with this decorative object, you cannot drag it by the ears.

	Take a hanger, wrapping paper, a ruler with a pencil, double-sided tape, scissors, scrap paper, candy.
	Cut out 21 rectangles from the wrapping paper, focusing on the size of the candies that we will wrap in this paper.
	Wrap each candy in paper to form these “gifts”.
	From scrap paper, cut out rectangles or stars, in general, any shape, and write numbers from 1 to 31 on them.
	Punch holes in the rectangles with a hole punch, string them on a string and tie it around the candy wrapped in paper.
	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 only christmas tree, especially since they are made from a variety of materials at hand. For example, use this decor to decorate windows, trees, walls.

	Using 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 glitter of the same color to some areas, and when the glue dries, glue other areas with glue and dip the snowflake in glitter of a different color.
	It is better to apply glitter in parts so as not to be smeared with glue.
