You can make all these wonderful things with your children or your significant other. New Year's holidays are a time of togetherness and fun.

Christmas ball made of acorns Materials: Acorn caps (approximately the same size); Silver or gold paint; Sequins; Ball (diameter of your choice). If you have a foam ball, you will need to paint it first; Twine (threads); Decoration ribbon; Glue gun. It is quite simple to make such a ball. Below are step-by-step photos, looking at which you can easily make this Christmas tree toy with your own hands.

Christmas balls made of fabric Do you have a bright colorful dress in your closet that you will never wear for anything? Then feel free to take scissors and start creating. In order to make a Christmas tree ball out of fabric, you will need: Base. It can be a foam ball or even an old sock that needs to be stuffed tightly until a hard ball is obtained; Sheathing material; Rope or ribbon for the loop, for which we will hang the ball on the Christmas tree; Glue (glue gun) or thread with a needle. There are many options for attaching the fabric. The decorative trim can be sewn on or glued on. In her role, there can be strips of fabric gathered by frills, which need to be sewn in circles. You can cut the fabric into small squares and sew them to the base, grabbing only the center of each square. Place their centers closer to each other and you will get a charming shaggy ball.

Christmas balls made of threads and lace Another wonderful decoration can be balls made of threads. You will need: Balloon; PVA glue; Sequins; Threads of the Iris type. It is very easy to make such a decoration. We inflate a ball of the size corresponding to the size of the future toy. Tie one end of the thread to it. The threads can be dipped in glue or covered with a brush. Leave some space near the base of the ball. Sprinkle sparkles on top. We are waiting for the glue to dry. Now all that remains is to pierce the ball and pull it out of the workpiece. It remains to hang our toy on a string or ribbon.

Are your children or do you like animals? You can decorate the Christmas tree with adorable penguins made from old light bulbs. You will need: Waste and old damaged light bulbs; Paints; Paints; Brushes; A little glue; Thin ribbons.

Making a penguin out of an old light bulb is very simple - just paint the light bulb. After the paints are dry, glue a ribbon in the form of a loop around the base. It will be convenient for hanging our penguins on the spruce branches. You can borrow hats and scarves from dolls or build them yourself and dress up penguins.

In order to make hats for penguins or use as an independent decoration, you will need: Thick threads (you can use the rest of the yarn from any of your products); Toilet paper rolls. We cut the cardboard blanks into rings. The width of the cap's lapel will depend on the height of the ring.

Now we cut the threads 30 cm long.

Simple felt herringbone

A fairly simple and bright Christmas tree will serve as an excellent decoration for your home on New Year's holidays. Make a cone out of thick paper, prepare felt (preferably in several colors, so your Christmas tree will become brighter), glue (you can replace it with double tape), as well as scissors.

Cut out many circles of different diameters from the fabric, as shown in the photo. Prepare cardboard templates in advance, so it will be easier to cut the circles. Glue the tinsel to the bottom of the piece and make cross-shaped cuts in the center of each circle. Do not make the cuts too large, the felt mugs should fit snugly against the base.

Glowing Christmas tree.

A bright Christmas tree will be a great addition to the Christmas decor of your entire home. Prepare a floristic mesh (it will be better if you choose several shades), a sheet of cardboard for a conical base, polyethylene, pins, garlands, scissors, glue, floristic wire, as well as additional decorative items if desired.

First you need to wrap the cardboard cone with cellophane. Make a solution consisting of glue (preferably PVA) and not too much water. Cut the floristic mesh into separate oblong rectangles to be dipped into the finished mixture. Now glue all the pieces to the base, wrapped in plastic. Place the mesh in different directions, alternating its colors. Additionally coat all the edges of the rectangles with glue so that they are fixed on the base as firmly as possible. Secure all sections with pins and wait until the glue mixture is completely dry. After the structure is completely dry, carry out the second layer in the same way. After the glue is completely dry, remove the structure from the base. Thanks to the cellophane layer, this procedure can be done quickly and easily. Place the garland inside, attaching it to the mesh base with floral wire. Decorate the Christmas tree according to your preferences, and it will serve as a bright accent in your New Year's interior.

Christmas tree on the wall.

An excellent solution for decorating a small apartment will be a Christmas tree made on the wall, it can reach absolutely any size.

Christmas tree potpourri.

The Christmas tree, decorated with dried fruit wedges and pine cones, looks unusual and charming. And it depends not only on the general appearance of such a decoration, the main originality lies in the associations. The potpourri tree looks very “tasty”, exotic and rich. Mixed scents fill our home with that delightful feeling of magic coming.

How to dry citrus fruits properly.

Cut the fruit into rings no more than 0.5 cm thick. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper and place the pieces of fruit on it, it is important here that the slices do not come into contact with the surface of the baking sheet. Next, it must be placed in an oven preheated to no more than 50-60 ° C, the process itself takes about 5-6 hours. Do not try to speed it up by heating the oven to a higher temperature. Thus, you will only spoil the fruit, and you will have to start the whole process from the very beginning.

When the fruit is ready, you can coat it with a special varnish for extra shine. Of course, this will make the pieces of fruit much brighter and stronger, but you will have to forget about the smell. Although if you look at it, dried citrus fruits do not give a strong fragrant smell, basically, this function falls on cinnamon sticks and cloves umbrellas.

Finished citrus slices must be strung on a thread or fishing line and glued to a cardboard base.

A truly original Christmas tree will turn out if, in addition to fruits, you use nuts, cones, lace, ribbons and other decorations for which you have enough imagination in the decor.

Original candlesticks with your own hands.

Flickering lights of light on a winter night warm and create a magical atmosphere of a winter fairy tale. Small and large candles in original handmade candlesticks will be a wonderful decoration for New Year's Eve, cute and pleasant gifts for loved ones and loved ones. To create such magical crafts, you will need candles, imagination, inspiration, a little time and improvised materials that are in every home: ropes, threads, glasses, jars, nuts, cinnamon and, of course, tangerines and even pieces of wood. In general, do not be afraid to show all your creativity - any little thing can come in handy. The easiest option would be to wrap thick candles with cinnamon sticks, tie a ribbon and a truly festive and fragrant craft is ready.

For the next candlestick you will need:

Candles; Artificial snow; Glue; Jars; Cones.

It's very simple - put artificial snow and candles in jars. Apply a little glue to the edges of the cans and cones, cover with artificial snow on top and attach with sisal threads or any material you like.

If you have logs of birch or other trees prepared for a fireplace or barbecue, you can use them to make a wonderful candlestick. For him, in fact, you only need birch bark - the upper part of the bark, a glass cup and a candle. You can also use small woodpipes whole. They just need to hollow out or cut out recesses for the candles.

In a transparent container - a glass or a jar - you can add a little water and various decorative details - berries, Christmas tree branches or flowers. Place a candle in there and you're done!

In order to make a wreath from coniferous branches, prepare wire, wire cutters, needles branches, Christmas tree decorations and other decorations in the form of cones, ribbons, beads, etc. This wreath, undoubtedly, can become the best decoration for your home on the eve of New Year's celebrations. Branches for its production can be used both from artificial materials (when you need to get rid of old artificial spruce), and natural, which can be easily found in the forest. Use whatever decorations you like to decorate your wreath. Initially, you should start making a base, on which coniferous branches and Christmas tree decorations will subsequently be fixed. Make a pair of thick wire rings. The diameter of one of them should be slightly larger than the diameter of the second. Fix them together by tying all the same wire.

Make a wire frame on which all the toys will be strung. Considering the size of the balls, string them on the frame, alternating small with large ones. Pass a wide ribbon through the entire frame and hang the wreath at the front door. It can also be placed on a coffee table or some shelf.

Sometimes the simplest and most familiar everyday things can find new, extraordinary and creative application. For example, you can make a wonderful New Year's wreath out of ordinary coffee filters.

What you need:

• foam circle;
• about two hundred coffee filters;
• hot glue;
• decorations to your liking.

First, fold the filter in half. Gently crumple the bottom of the filter to form a flower at the top. Apply hot glue to the bottom.

Glue the resulting “flower” onto the circle.

Repeat until the circle is completely covered with filters (except for the back, which will lean against a door or wall)

Use scissors to trim the wreath. All that is left is to decorate the wreath according to your tastes and imaginations with the help of hot glue.

Lightweight rope ball garland

You can use any colors, and in the evening, when you turn on the lights, the space will be filled with very interesting patterned shadows.

Twine balls are used in a variety of ways, from decorating chandeliers to decorating your dining table, so why not use them in your New Year's garland? They create an interesting lighting effect and their vibrant colors will always delight the eye.

The mixture of glue and cornstarch dulls the colors of the string, so if you prefer a more subdued color scheme, you don't need to do anything else. However, if you are striving for a brighter and more vivid color, it is recommended to paint the balls with spray cans after drying. In this way, you will also save yourself the extra expense of a multi-colored string.

First of all, inflate the balloons, one for each balloon, and draw a circle on top of the balloons where you will start winding the string. Then apply a thin layer of Vaseline to each ball to prevent the string from sticking to the balls.

Tie a piece of string to the end of each ball and wrap it around the support, in this case a block of wood. This way, it will be easier for you to work with the hanging balls. Place something on the floor to avoid staining it.

Now you need to prepare the adhesive solution. Take an old tray (you can use a disposable one) and mix PVA glue, a few teaspoons of cornstarch and warm water in it. The mixture should be homogeneous and not too runny. There should be a lot of it, since the string absorbs liquid very well.

This is the dirtiest stage of the job. Take the string and dip it in the glue mixture so that it is completely saturated. Then start winding it around the balls, vertically and horizontally, until you achieve the desired effect. Cut the end of the string and tuck it under the one already wrapped around the ball so it doesn't dangle. Repeat with all balls.

Leave the balls to dry overnight. They should harden by morning. If they are still soft, give them some more time to dry. The balls should begin to burst as they dry, but if they don't, burst them yourself and then pull them out.

Now you can paint the balls in the colors you want and attach them to the garland. For this, you can use transparent fishing line.

The garland is ready!

Garland of plastic cups

Today we will transform a faceless garland into a stylish and modern decoration for the interior. Such a mundane thing as plastic cups will help you decorate your home in an original way for the holidays.

We need:

• garland with non-heating bulbs;
• plastic cups (as many as bulbs in a garland);
• colored or wrapping paper, you can trim wallpaper;

Step 1

First, we need to create a template. To do this, take one plastic cup, cut off the bottom and top edging from it. Cut it to length, unrolling it gently and making it as flat as possible. Now we take sheets of paper and, according to the template, draw "shirts" on them for our garland.

The New Year is getting closer every day, and it's time to think about how to decorate the house for such a celebration. There are a lot of interesting ideas for this, and the decorating process itself will help create a festive mood. What is most relevant today?

When to start decorating your home for the New Year?

It is best to do this pleasant thing just before the holiday. It is possible earlier, but in this case, the New Year's decor can quickly get bored. If in addition to adults, small children and pets live in a house or apartment, then they can quickly deal with the festive interior. Decorations are usually bright and colorful, which means they will be very interesting for children. Therefore, it is best to start registration on the 30th-31st.

Outside decoration: home, yard, garden

Before this holiday, it is good to decorate the house not only from the inside, you should also work on the outside of the home. A beautifully decorated house will bring joy not only to your family, but also to people passing by. The decoration process will be pleasant for every family member. This will allow you to get inspired before the most important holiday of the year. Let's see how to decorate a house for the new year.

In the process, you can use everything that is at hand. So, various lighting equipment is usually attached to the facades - it can be LED strips, lanterns, various garlands. Also, before the New Year, you can arrange festive figures in the garden. If a spruce tree grows near the house, then they decorate it too - what is not a New Year tree?

Porch

How can you decorate your home for the New Year? It is worth starting with the porch - this is the element of the house that influences the first impression of the owner. He should be given maximum attention. Guests who want to celebrate New Year's Eve should feel the holiday right from the yard.

Nothing says so much about the closeness of the main winter holidays as well as the bright light from the garland lanterns. The entire porch should be hung with garlands. They are also hung on doors and windows. You can unusually complement an electric garland - it wraps around pine or spruce branches. Then all this is hung on the pillars and railing of the porch. After that, the garland will look more festive.

Wreaths are made from green winter plants. This is not just an element of decor, but a symbol of strength. The best way to welcome guests is to decorate your front door with a beautiful wreath. It is made from spruce branches or branches of other evergreens.

Flowers also adorn the porch. One of the symbols of Christmas and New Year is euphorbia. It is sold both artificial and live. A living flower is afraid of the cold, and it is placed indoors on the windowsill. An artificial plant is hung on the door - it will complement the flower arrangement at the entrance.

A minor but very important detail is the welcome mat on the porch. It is also a symbol of Christmas. It will perform not only a decorative, but also a completely practical function. Guests will be able to dry their feet to prevent dirt from entering the apartment or house.

Facade

Not only the Christmas tree should be dressed up for the New Year, but also the front part of the country house or permanently residential country house. This will make the walls look extraordinary. It is worth decorating the facade with garlands that glow with various colors, as well as tinsel. A sleigh with reindeer should be installed on the roof - again, they should be lit.

Ready-made options for New Year's decoration of premises in the house

New Year is a special holiday, but many people prefer to order the decoration of the premises to professionals. In this case, there is a risk of getting only a beautiful picture without a “soul”. It will not reflect individuality. Therefore, we decorate the house for the New Year on our own, with our own hands.

There are a lot of ready-made original ideas for the New Year, which you just need to take and translate into reality. For interior decoration, ordinary elements are suitable - these are spruce branches, balls, candles, garlands.

Hall

The main attribute of this room is a tree. In the New Year 2018, you should prefer not artificial, but natural wood. It is decorated not only with toys in a classic style, but a solid design in yellow or gold colors is selected.

The symbol of the year is attached to the branches of the tree - a figurine of a dog. It can be made from paper or purchased ready-made in stores. Dog figurines are also made from fabric and stuffed with cotton wool.

The windows in the hall are decorated with snowflakes - they are cut out of paper or using a toothpaste solution, and a paper snowflake is used as a template. The solution is sprayed with a toothbrush. When dry it will create a winter white pattern.

You can put candles on the fireplace shelf, decorate with compositions of spruce or pine branches and cones, wreaths and other crafts, lay decorative pillows in the New Year's style on the sofa.

The corridor

In the process of working on a new design of the corridor, you should not turn everything upside down. It is enough just to decorate the room with a mechanical garland that falls from the ceiling. Homemade stars from branches or other materials are hung on the chandelier. Colorful and catchy figures of animals and fairy-tale characters are placed on the floor.

Children

You have to start from the walls. While the children are in kindergarten, a New Year's themed applique is attached to the walls. Stickers or panels on the New Year's theme will do. Also, you can not do without garlands of tinsel, spruce branches. Be sure to put a Christmas tree in the nursery on New Year's Eve.

It is best to decorate windows with painting. With the help of paints or the same applications, the glass is decorated with New Year's images. The bed is covered with themed bedding. It should be bright and festive. A New Year's sock is hung on the bedside. Here's how to decorate a room for the New Year 2017, see the photo

Important! You shouldn't choose glass Christmas tree decorations, they can be unsafe for children. Replace them with homemade decorations: stuffed toys, pine cones, twig or thread balls, cookies.

Veranda

A bench is usually installed on the veranda and covered with a soft blanket, decorative pillows can be laid out on top, a mini-table, small Christmas trees can be placed, and New Year's wreaths and lanterns can be hung. Electric colored garlands are hung around the perimeter. They can be supplemented with spruce branches. Garden gnomes, flowerpots with cones and snowflakes will look great.

Bedroom

It is not recommended to install bright lights in this room for the New Year. The bedroom is synonymous with romance and intimacy. It is good to hang figures of little angels, set up a lot of scented candles. To feel the magic of the holiday, put a pot with a small thuja, fir or pine. The pot is decorated with tinsel, toys, and the walls with themed appliques and snowflakes.

Lighting design (garlands)

Before talking about the premises, let's walk through the site. It is fashionable to hang trees in the garden with garlands. It is recommended to purchase a garland that is outdoor, protected, frost-resistant. And then, let's consider how to decorate the house with them in an original way for the New Year.

Trees are best decorated with monochromatic garlands. Prepare extension cords and splitters in advance. In any other case, it will be difficult to get a burning trunk and evenly distribute the beam of light over the paws of a spruce or the crown of a deciduous tree. It is not necessary to completely flood the tree with fire - restraint is important in everything. Street garlands are not multi-colored, so if you need several colors, buy two or even three.

The roof of the house, veranda and porch can be beautifully decorated with glowing icicles. They will look great on tree tops too. Also, with the help of lanterns and luminous figures, you can decorate the driveway to the house.

Luminous figures have become very popular lately. They can be purchased ready-made or made by hand. The base is a metal frame wrapped in electric garlands. The facade of the house will look best in a festive multi-colored illumination.

In the house, doorways, windows, doors are decorated with lighting devices. Also, do not forget about the Christmas tree. It is not recommended to overdo it - everything needs a measure. A garland of light fixed to the ceiling will create the effect of a starry sky.

Private home decorating ideas

Fancy

Today it is fashionable to decorate rooms not with modern plastic and glass toys, but with homemade simple decorations. They are made from natural and natural materials. This method has taken root in all interior styles, from classic to modern. Why not ditch plastic in favor of real cones and spruce branches?

Original

It is better to move away from tradition and decorate the interior in the plot of a movie or book. Guests of the holiday should also dress up according to the plot. It will also be original to abandon the traditional Christmas tree - you can mow the tree in the shape of a dog, because it is a symbol of 2018. We decorate the tree with what the dog loves to eat - toy bones, dog toys, you can make figures in the form of the dog itself.

Stylish

For this new year to be stylish and unusual, you need to paint something themed on the windows. There must be a large luxurious Christmas tree with gift boxes underneath. Delicate LED illumination will look stylish.

How to decorate a house for the new year

Make a plan

You need to plan ahead what kind of Christmas accessories you would like to see in your apartment. It is advisable to start thinking about this from the inside of the house, gradually moving to the outside. Take pictures of the rooms in your apartment and the area around the house. This will greatly facilitate the planning process for the variety of accessories. These pictures should be taken with you on the day you go shopping for toys and other paraphernalia. So you definitely will not be mistaken with the choice.

Find a use for your Christmas tree branches

When you buy a real spruce, you inevitably have to prune individual branches from the tree before you start decorating. Do not throw away these scraps, as they can be successfully used as a natural garland. It can be used to decorate a staircase, doorway, fireplace or even your family's holiday table. In addition, the cut branches will come in handy for lovers of beautiful Christmas wreaths. It is customary to place them at the front door or window.

Choose a Christmas color scheme

The use of different color schemes for the New Year's decoration of an apartment is, of course, great. But during the organization of the holiday, we recommend that you draw up a certain shade scheme that will allow you to create a bright and original evening. You can decorate the whole house in the same color scheme. If desired, each room can be decorated in different ways. For example, you can use a red and gold scheme to decorate a festive fir tree, and a fireplace can be decorated with green and silver shades. In addition, you can use the listed colors to decorate the entire apartment.

LED lights on the facade of the house

If you have your own home and are attracted to the option of placing bright lights on its facade, consider using programmable LED lights that change colors. On a dark snowy evening, these accessories can create a fabulous Christmas mood. LED flashlights consume much less electrical energy than classic lights. This means that you can easily decorate the outside of your home without increasing your financial costs.

Scenery

Christmas decorations are the most versatile. You can give free rein to your imagination and choose the decorations to your taste. Decorations that traditionally hang on the tree can also be successfully applied to other parts of the house. You can also use transparent jars and containers. They can be stylish and cute to showcase the bright accessories located inside them. These transparent containers can be easily positioned on the dining table or in the bedroom on the bedside table. You can be sure that you will be able to create a great mood.

Likewise, detachable hooks can be attached to the bottom of shelves and cabinets for hanging garland decorations. A chain of colorful rain accessories can be hung along the kitchen cabinets. Would you like to decorate the shelves in the living room? Do the same.

Paper snowflakes

Another element that can be used to decorate a house for the New Year cheaply and sincerely. All you need is scissors and white paper. A significant plus of such an accessory is that you can attract your whole family to make it.

Holiday candles

To make New Year's Eve really special, dim the lights and place candles around the house. You can make candlesticks with your own hands: jars, flower pots, cones, and even cinnamon sticks are suitable for this.

Made with love

You can also make Christmas decorations with your own hands: for example, mold them from plasticine or sew them from felt or velvet. And if you don't like sewing, try making toys out of transparent balls or old light bulbs. To do this, cover the glass surface with glue and dip the ball or light bulb into a bowl of sparkles.

Let there be light

Glowing garlands are guaranteed to create a New Year's mood. Hang them literally everywhere: on stair railings, ceilings and walls, along cabinets and doorways, and, of course, on a Christmas tree. You can make garlands yourself - for example, from corrugated paper or foil.

Small but remote

A Christmas tree made of cones, buttons, lace, woolen threads or multi-colored stickers will be an excellent New Year's decoration. Decorate the finished Christmas tree with sparkles, beads and ribbons - and it will be able to compete with a real Christmas tree.

Draw with Santa Claus

Don't forget the window décor and draw some pretty frosty patterns. To do this, cut out stencils from thick paper and prepare paint: mix toothpaste with water until thick. Now it remains to attach the stencils to the windows and blot them with a sponge.

Delicious garlands

If you are looking for an original way to decorate your home for the upcoming holiday, bake a fragrant gingerbread cookie and make small holes in it. Pass the ribbon through the holes and delight your loved ones with an original edible garland.

A little bit of nostalgia

The tree can be decorated not only with tinsel, garlands or New Year's toys. Make the holiday brighter and hang printed family photos on a tree - such an original decor will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.

Joy for children

Do not forget about the children - make a beautiful Christmas decoration for them with your own hands. To do this, just put a children's toy and a Christmas tree in a jar, and use rice or cotton wool as snow.

To keep the toys warmer

You can make Christmas tree decorations from anything - even from an old scarf or sweater. It doesn't take long: take a Christmas ball and wrap it tightly with a woolen cloth. Now fasten the fabric at the base of the ball with tape - and you can hang the ball on the tree, windows or railings.

Tangerine mood

Let this year tangerines decorate not only the festive table, but also the Christmas tree. Fold the fruit into simple plywood crates lined with craft paper. When dry, garnish with ribbons or cinnamon sticks. Such simple yet fragrant crafts will look great next to other Christmas tree decorations.

Christmas decorations for the home. Felt ornament.

You will need:

Felt (preferably 3mm thick)

Ruler

Stationery knife

Scissors

Simple pencil

Glue, needle and thread or stapler

1. From a piece of felt, cut a 15x15 cm square with scissors.

2. With a simple pencil, mark several lines parallel to the sides of the square, leaving about 2 cm between them - you should get 3 parallel lines. Also draw a diagonal dividing the square into 2 equal parts.

3. Place the square in front of you with the diagonal line running vertically. Using a ruler and a clerical knife, make cuts on the left and right along the outlined parallel lines, not reaching the diagonal (center) line of about 6-7 mm.

* Take your time so as not to ruin the felt.

4. Begin to fold the ends of the formed squares in opposite directions, securing them with glue, a needle and thread or a stapler (see picture).

4.1 Fold the shortest ends first and secure them.

4.2 Flip the shape over and secure the middle ends.

4.3 Flip the shape over again (back) and bend and secure the large ends.

5. After you have formed the shape shown in the image, cut off a piece of thread and thread it through the shape. You can add felt balls or small pom-poms if you like.

* You can make several of these shapes and thread them through them to create a long Christmas decoration that you can hang in any room.

* Try experimenting with different sizes of squares as well as different numbers of cuts.

Beads
