DIY New Year's compositions

The basis for almost any DIY New Year's compositions becomes green needles or materials that look like them. We really love this green background and clearly associate it with the New Year holiday. At the same time, florists noticed that in our countries it is more typical to use pine, spruce, and juniper needles in combination with fresh flowers, pine cones, and dry plants, but in Western European countries they cannot imagine without the bright red leaves of holly, which create the necessary accent. That is why the classic color scheme for any work of this kind, if you are not aiming to achieve a certain shade of the interior, is red-green.

The principle of classic bouquet composition is to choose the basis on which the entire composition will be located. This could be a beautiful plate or dish, a vase, a jug, a special stand or fastener, which is often used to place indoor flowers. For transformations, both tabletop works, the size of which can be limited only by the width of the window sill, and hanging ones, which will be attached to the cornice, are suitable. So, the base is filled with background material, it is fixed there, depending on whether it needs to be kept fresh or not. If we're talking about about coniferous branches or artificial material, then there is no need to specially feed them, so nothing is placed under the base. But if you want to use turf, grass or living plants that are now fashionable, then you will need a special spongy material, an oasis, which fills with water and then gradually releases it to the inserted plants.

Accessories and additions to the bouquet create that very individuality that can distinguish one craft from another. After all, by and large, it is the details that increase the value of the work significantly. Additional materials become ribbons, fabric, artificial flowers, small Christmas tree decorations, sweets, natural materials, such as cones, acorns, chestnuts, shells, cotton bolls. If your goal is DIY New Year's composition for kindergarten , then it is best to complement it with animal figures, small toys snowman, Santa Claus, deer and so on. All this is placed directly on the coniferous-floral pillow, and you can use hot glue to attach all the elements, but remember that disassembling everything after the end of the holiday will be much more difficult and some elements may no longer be suitable for further use.

In general DIY children's New Year's compositions- this is a special art, usually kids want to turn bouquets into a whole fairy world. If you want to give a gift to your baby, then do not forget to complement the most beautiful composition with several chocolates that he can find and eat. This, believe me, will not spoil the impression of them at all, but will only make them even more desirable and attractive in children’s eyes.

DIY New Year's compositions: photo

The correct placement of a decorative composition in the interior is as important as its attractive appearance. Large DIY New Year's compositions, photo which you might have liked in this article are designed to decorate rooms as the main focal point. It is better to use them in a single placement for a bedroom, children's room or kitchen, that is, where exactly the composition will remind everyone that they continue holidays. But in the living room, where there are already a lot of decorations and, moreover, a luxurious green Christmas tree is installed, you need to use smaller-sized works. Ideal option there will be one in which the materials, colors and decoration elements will be repeated as on big Christmas tree, and in tabletop compositions, this principle of pairing is used by designers everywhere.

You can see a simple example in the lesson on composing DIY New Year's compositions, master class which is located above. For the work, green juniper branches were chosen as the base, since they provide a dense, opaque base that fits well into one layer and allows the remaining elements to be well secured. Take a vessel with high sides; if it is not very decorative in itself, then you can cover the walls with fabric or corrugated paper. In our case, this is a special wicker basket, which is intended for fruits, sweets and the like. Place juniper branches on the bottom of the container to create the most even circle with the tips of the branches facing out. Pine cones against this background they may get a little lost, so they need to be given color; to do this, apply a little white paint to the tip of each scale with a brush, it will look like the cones are a little dusted with snow. We glue them in a circle at certain intervals, without trying to make a perfect circle; five pieces will be enough. Between the cones we place the remaining elements, such as fir cones, small roses made of fabric, silver and gold Christmas balls. Choose the decor so that you get an overall harmonious color scheme. A wide candle is placed inside, which should also match the color of all other elements; it doesn’t even have to be lit, it will create an accent on its own. The work will be completed by a string of beads, which can be stretched or placed on top so that a small part of it hangs from the wall of the stand.

The needles do not have to become the star in the craft, for example, for DIY New Year's compositions, master- the class of which is located higher, the basis and main element are ordinary cones. Any schoolchild knows how to harvest and prepare them for work, but most often kilograms of pine cones brought from the forest or park lie unclaimed in the house. You can simply throw it together conceptually, explaining it as fashionable, or you can decorate it a little and turn it into a decoration for a window sill, shelf, coffee table or cabinets. The container in which you will place the pine cones is again of no small importance; the more beautiful it is, the automatically more beautiful your craft becomes. Each cone is painted in exactly the same way as in the previous master class, and they do not necessarily have to be the same in appearance and size. We combine spruce, pine, cedar into a single whole, in general, everything that can be found. On one side and in the center of the base we lay artificial coniferous branches or a garland cut into pieces that imitates pine needles; it should also be slightly modified with strokes of white paint. Next, we arrange the cones in the required order and glue small roses, which are made from the smallest, softest cones, to the ends of the branches (you will still have to work with sharp tools, so be careful).

DIY New Year's composition on the table

If earlier on festive table If you simply strive to serve as many dishes as possible and already see sufficient decor in decorating them with parsley, then today they approach proper serving with greater responsibility. Central DIY New Year's table composition will attract even more attention than the Christmas tree, because it will be where most of the eyes will be drawn during dinner. There is no point in making it very large; it will interfere with the people at the table, and there will be less space for all the cutlery. If you have a round table, then it can occupy the inside of it, but if you are placing a rectangular, elongated table, then it is better to make the floral decoration rectangular.

Among all the examples of pine needles and branches, I would like to highlight fashionable bouquets in a rustic style. This one is deliberately rude country style has become a favorite for organizing weddings and birthdays, and today it is already actively conquering New Year’s venues. In the photo above you can see interesting examples, solved in this style. Please note that to prepare and arrange such bouquets you will not need to spend significant money, but you will have to spend time and make efforts to, say, get a beautiful cut of a tree or knock down a wooden box as a stand.

Otherwise, tabletop works can obey the same rules as all others, with a few exceptions, because they use candles, branches, only those that are not fragile, do not crumble or fall apart when touched, because touching a bouquet at the table will be often. It would also be appropriate to add some edible elements to the craft; this will make the decor similar to the dishes on the table. Good example This approach includes stands made of apples for flowers, which are installed in the center of the table.

DIY New Year's composition from branches

Both table bouquets can be made based on tree branches; this trend is very popular and is not losing ground. For DIY New Year's composition from branches they can be painted, decorated with paper, glitter, varnish, or used without any processing at all, but still look amazing. You can see examples of design and decoration of branches in the photographs in this section.

Make a New Year's composition with your own hands

We offer you based on branches make a New Year's composition with your own hands. For this, in addition to the main element, you will also need a couple of rowan bunches.

The branches and berries will need to be painted; at home, this can most easily be done using thick paper, such as magazine pages. Folds up a large number of sheets with an overlap on the surface, lay branches on top, then roll the paper into a bag and spray it inside with aerosol paint with a metallic tint.

When the branches are dry, place them in a jar, but not a simple one, but additionally decorated with golden braid, and add the decor necessary from your point of view.

You don't have to stick to standard Christmas shades. Instead of red and gold, complement the pine branches with silver balls and ribbons the color of spring grass. This decoration will look great on a light door without unnecessary decor.

4. Balloons with natural decorations.
