The New Year is very soon, which means it's time to create an appropriate mood at home: romantic, joyful and magical. Moreover, this can be done almost free of charge. Bright candlesticks, festive garlands and original Christmas tree decorations - we will tell you how to find use for improvised and seemingly unnecessary things and make decor items out of them.
Idea number 1: holiday atmosphere
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.
Idea number 2: made with love
Christmas decorations can also be made with your own hands - for example, molded from plasticine or sewn 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.
Idea # 3: more 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.
Idea number 4: gifts of nature
Beautiful Christmas decorations can also be made from cones. To do this, simply attach the cones to a tape or thin string. Now it remains to hang garlands all over the house - to the delight of loved ones.
Idea # 5: Home Party
And from the toilet paper sleeve you will get a bright New Year's firecracker. Simply wrap it in corrugated or colored paper and tie the ends of the resulting cracker with string or ribbon. Do not forget to put bright confetti inside the firecrackers.
Idea number 6: art wreath
Make festive wreaths from fir branches: they will fill your home with warmth, berries and give a wonderful New Year scent. Decorate the wreaths with sequins, ribbons and berries, then hang them on the windows, doors, and walls of your home. You can also make wreaths from Christmas candy or family photos - just tape them together.
Idea number 7: a small miracle
A great New Year's decoration will be a small Christmas tree made of cones, buttons, lace, woolen threads or multi-colored stickers. Decorate the finished Christmas tree with sparkles, beads and ribbons - and it will be able to compete with a real Christmas tree.
Idea # 8: Welcome
Don't forget the window décor and draw beautiful 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.
Idea number 9: edible garland
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.
Idea number 10: curvy shapes
If your Christmas tree does not differ in volume, put a green tinsel garland at its base. This will make the tree appear more magnificent. You can save the situation with the help of decor: the more toys and garlands on the tree, the more voluminous it looks.
Idea number 11: retro style
The Christmas tree can be decorated not only with tinsel, garlands or New Year's toys. Make the holiday brighter and hang printed family photos on the tree - such an original decor will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.
Idea number 12: like in a fairy tale
An elegant Christmas decoration can be made from a regular branch. Spray it with silver spray paint and attach it to your chandelier or cornice. Now hang the Christmas tree decorations on the branch - a fabulous atmosphere is guaranteed.
Idea number 13: for the little ones
Make the kids happy and make a beautiful Christmas decoration with your own hands. To do this, just put a children's car and a Christmas tree in a jar, and use rice or cotton wool as snow.
Idea number 14: soft decor
You can make Christmas tree toys from anything - even from an old scarf or sweater. It doesn't take long: take a Christmas tree 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.
Idea number 15: fragrant decor
Let tangerines decorate not only the festive table, but also your Christmas tree this year. 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.
Idea number 16: floating balls
You can decorate with Christmas balls not only a New Year tree: they will look no worse on windows or a chandelier. The balls are easy to fix on colored ribbons and hang, for example, on a curtain rod.
Idea number 17: falshkamin
A cozy fireplace is one of the main attributes of the traditional New Year's decor. You can also make it yourself: for this you need a large rectangular box. Glue it to the wall and paint it white. Now it remains to draw brickwork on the box and decorate the resulting fireplace.
Idea # 18: An Unusual Approach
A small apartment is not a reason to refuse a Christmas tree. Moreover, the traditional spruce can be easily transferred to the wall: draw or compose its silhouette from separate small objects. It will turn out to be a real art object! Read how to do this here.
Idea # 19: bon appétit
Do not forget to decorate the dining table: complement the usual tablecloth with a table runner with a bright pattern. And classic linen napkins can be decorated with a sprig of spruce or rosemary, folded into a snowman or Christmas tree. The picture will be complemented by scented candles and New Year's wreaths.
Idea number 20: in the rhythm of the holiday
It is quite simple to make ordinary glass glasses bright in New Year's way: just decorate them with colorful satin ribbons. Just a few minutes - and the usual glasses will change beyond recognition.
