How to make a beautiful bouquet of fir branches for the New Year? New Year's compositions on the table, photos and master classes

A holiday in life is like a bow on a gift box. To find out what's inside it is worth unleashing, especially when it comes to the New Year. But we will rather discuss how to prepare all this, how to decorate the house for the celebration and make a New Year's composition with our own hands. And we will also learn how to turn a festive table into a fabulous one.

In English, there is even the concept of "Centerpiece" - a composition for decorating the central part of the table. In Russian, we do not make such a distinction and just talk about crafts and. And yet let's imagine that the creation we are about to make deserves a central place in the Christmas interior of the Queen of England.

You can create your own New Year's masterpiece with the help of candles, cones, a basket of toys, decorations from pinwheels and snowflakes. Whatever we choose for the idea, it must fit into the overall interior. Thus, the heart will become the quintessence of the entire decoration of the house.

Make beautiful vases from glass bottles. When doing this, wrap each of them in a musical notch to give the impression of a label. And the label of the New Year's composition, of course, will be snowflakes, which can also be made by hand. Attach tiny bells in the middle of the bottle and tie everything with twine or ribbon. Arrange these vases on a tray, decorating it with spruce branches and silvery balls. You can also apply patterns of shimmering sparkles to the glass.

If our table is the decoration of an apartment in miniature, then the focus of attention of all those who dine should be a Christmas tree. Candles in the form of a Christmas tree are an amazing symbol of the winter celebration. Place several of these wax beauties side by side, combining them in height and color. Light several at once. Who knows if all the candles will burn out during this most fleeting night of the year? One thing is clear that this symbol will lose its meaning in the morning.

Add coziness to the New Year mood with a nest tray. This is an incredibly original, warm New Year's composition, made, it would seem, by nature itself, and not by hand. Don't be afraid to be called a magpie-crow: put as many shiny toys and tinsel in the roost as possible. You can put boxes with in the nest.

Why not create a composition in the form of a children's sled in the center of the table? Who knows what this year will bring? We will not think beyond the holidays, but rather we will try to put all the most interesting things into the sled. Wooden toys, large candles, rough-bound books - perhaps a sleigh filled with souvenirs will look good not only on the table, but also under the Christmas tree.

If you come across Christmas decorations in a set, then you should take them without hesitation. Usually, though not always, they are a design solution to the problem of decorating a celebration space. The attention of guests will probably be attracted by an ensemble of several gilded glass Christmas trees or large balls. Of course, they often combine accessories belonging to different masters, but unity, a common canvas, must certainly be visible.

A delicious solution would be a dish with nuts and dried fruits. But whether the guests will perceive it as a central decoration depends on the accessories. Don't forget to add celebration elements such as lights, lanterns or candles.

Get ready for the New Year in advance, because you never know what adventures you will encounter along the way. Good luck and, most importantly, good health!

New Year holidays are traditionally one of the most popular in our country. They are expected for almost a whole year, and when only a few weeks remain before them, the houses are cleaned and decorated. It is thanks to the decorations that the New Year holidays are very bright and fun. And the festive mood largely depends on the decoration of our house. And the dominant role in decorations has been played by flora, or rather the queen-tree, for many years.

However, the New Year's mood can be created not only with the help of a Christmas tree, but also with New Year's floristic compositions, bouquets of fresh flowers with a New Year's "orientation". These days, small Christmas trees, bouquets made from fir branches, special holiday compositions with candles and cones, as well as Christmas trees made from dried leaves are literally everywhere. Such an effective addition can only once again emphasize the New Year's decor, but even become an independent replacement for the Christmas tree.

Sometimes, observing the beauty of New Year's floral compositions that are present on the pages of fashion magazines or in flower shops, the thought creeps in that only professionals who are familiar with all the nuances of this skill are able to create this beauty. However, very interesting and great-looking compositions are quite within the power of any person! But how nice it will be to decorate the house with floristic compositions made by yourself. If you bring in your original ideas, you will be able to create an outstanding interior, in the center of which there will be your own floral masterpieces!


Choosing blanks for compositions

Before you start making your own New Year's composition, you need to think through everything and purchase or find the materials that you may need for the creative process. At the same time, the most popular components of New Year's bouquets and compositions are:

Cones (spruce or pine). They are used to give the floral composition the right New Year's tone. Moreover, it is better to choose closed cones, which are less whimsical, look more impressive, and therefore are more in demand.

Cedar cones. Mainly used for decoration.

Lush cones-Christmas trees. Such open cones, reminiscent of a small Christmas tree, are frequent guests in New Year's floral arrangements.

Clusters of viburnum and rowan. Natural or artificial berries can give your composition the necessary brightness.

Pomegranate fruit. They are used not only for a bright festive mood, but also as a symbol of life and fertility.

Vine or other thin branches. They will give the whole composition a certain charm, in addition, many additional decorative components can be created on their basis.

Natural or artificial twigs of conifers. Where without the main symbol of the New Year holidays?

Additional accessories of your choice.

You can get all or almost all of these components in the forest, and if there is none nearby, needles and cones can be found at Christmas markets, and clusters of viburnum or mountain ash on nearby trees. Moreover, even the most inconspicuous component, with the manifestation of a sufficient amount of imagination, can turn into an unusual miracle in your hands, which your friends will appreciate.

A metal pallet or tray, dry branches, glass or ceramic vases, tree bark or pieces of their roots, a wire frame, a cut of a tree trunk, a vine, or even foam plastic pieces can serve as a basis for a New Year's floral composition. That is, as you can see, the materials are quite accessible to everyone. In addition, to give your floristic composition additional charm, it will not be superfluous to stock up on dry branches and tree roots, decorative or preserved berries or fruits, fresh flowers and herbs, and moss.

Do not forget about additional materials, without which you can not do without. Glue, plasticine, sand, nails, needle holders, thin wire, candles, Christmas decorations, floral sponge, test tubes, ribbons, serpentine, rain and other New Year's tinsel - all this should be at hand. In addition, if you manage to get a spray can of white, silver or gold paint, it will be generally excellent. Thanks to the application of paint on cones, nuts and branches, they can be turned into fabulous and magical elements to give the whole composition the desired charm.


Preparing a Christmas wreath

The Christmas wreath appeared in domestic floristry not so long ago, but surprisingly quickly became one of the most beloved New Year's floristic compositions, especially since such beauty can be prepared with your own hands from simple components that everyone can get.

So, for a beautiful Christmas wreath of spruce branches, we need:

Base for the circle. The simplest base can be made from a circle of foam plastic or a floristic sponge, which is used to attach spruce branches. But even in the absence of a base, a circle of spruce branches can be made by simply fastening the branches in a circular shape.

Wrapping. It will be needed to decorate the circle. Instead, you can use artificial moss.

Twine or hemp rope.

Glue gun.

Any jewelry that your imagination will tell you.

Making a Christmas wreath is quite simple and takes very little time. To begin with, we attach small spruce branches to our base, tightening them with twine. In the case of using a floristic sponge, such branches are first stuck into it, and then rewound with a rope. After that, it remains to attach decorative elements and decorations with glue. Ideas can be drawn from your own imagination or you can choose the most suitable option on the Internet.

Usually a Christmas wreath in Catholic countries is the main decoration of the front door. He, according to legend, attracts fun, good luck and good people to the house. However, you can hang it anywhere!


Simple Christmas compositions with fresh flowers

It is very convenient to use a floral sponge for New Year's compositions. Then you can include fresh flowers in its composition - roses, carnations, freesias, hyacinths. You can buy it at any florist shop.

To compile such a composition, we need:

A basket or planter where a container with a sponge will be inserted;

Branches of coniferous trees;

Necessary decorations.

At the initial stage, it will be necessary to place the floral sponge in the selected container so that it fills the entire volume. From spruce or pine branches, cut the most aesthetically pleasing small branches. You can insert them into the sponge along with the selected fresh flowers in any order, the way you like it. The only condition is that the density should be such that the sponge itself is not visible behind the coniferous branches. If the "hairiness" of the branches does not allow this, you can use natural or artificial moss. Or mask the necessary places with tinsel or Christmas tree decorations. Then simply insert the container into the basket and decorate it the way you want. At the same time, the main thing is not to overdo it with decorations so that the composition looks organic.

Such a New Year's basket with fresh flowers may well become the main element of New Year's decor if there is no Christmas tree in the house. It can be hung from the ceiling or placed in the center of the festive table. In addition, you can put gifts in such a basket, delighting the kids. In order for the floral composition to please you for a long time, do not forget to periodically water the sponge with a small amount of water.


Winter floristry for the New Year

Despite its simplicity, New Year's floristry enjoys well-deserved attention and one of the most popular compositions for the New Year holidays is a candle surrounded by coniferous branches and cones. Moreover, it is the work with cones that gives an almost unlimited flight of fancy, if you know some secrets of working with these gifts of nature.

The easiest way to transform the appearance of the cones is to paint them with silver or gold spray paint. If you need the cones to open, they must be held over boiling water for several minutes. But if it is necessary that they remain closed in a warm room, they must be generously treated with strong hold hairspray. An interesting decor can be given to cones by lowering them with a saturated saline solution heated to 70 degrees. After that, the cones should be pulled out and taken to the cold for about a day. During this time, sparkling ice floes will appear on the cones - salt crystals adhering to them.

It is no less beautiful to decorate the New Year's floral arrangement with ordinary branches, if traditional holiday elements could not be obtained.

They can be painted with silver or white paint and decorated with Christmas decorations. From large branches, you can even make your own Christmas tree, which will look, if not more beautiful than a coniferous tree, then certainly more original. As a base, you can use an ordinary glass jar, on the bottom of which foam is laid. The jar itself can be decorated with a cloth and tied with a satin ribbon.

As we can see, with imagination and simple composite materials, you can make amazingly beautiful Christmas-themed floral arrangements in order to prepare your home for these holidays loved by children and adults.

Feel like a real florist and try to create DIY Christmas compositions. And to make this science easier for you, we offer today's material to help you, in which, in addition to photographs of interesting things, we will also analyze the theoretical aspects of the correct composition of the composition.

DIY Christmas compositions

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


The principle of the classical composition of the bouquet is to choose the basis on which the whole composition will be located. It can be a beautiful plate or dish, a vase, a jug, a special stand or fasteners, which are often used to place indoor flowers. For transformations, both desktop 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 eaves, are suitable. So, the base is filled with background material, it is fixed there, depending on whether you need to keep it fresh or not. If we are talking about coniferous branches or artificial material, then they do not need to be specially fed, so nothing fits under the base. But if you want to use turf, grass or live plants that are now fashionable, then you will need a special spongy material, an oasis that fills with water, and then gradually gives it to the stuck plants.


Accessories and additions to the bouquet create the very personality that can distinguish one craft from another. Indeed, by and large, it is the details that increase the value of the work at times. Additional materials are ribbons, fabric, artificial flowers, small Christmas decorations, sweets, natural materials such as cones, acorns, chestnuts, shells, cotton bolls. If your goal is do-it-yourself Christmas composition for kindergarten, then it is best to supplement it with animal figures, small toys of a snowman, Santa Claus, deer and so on. All this is placed directly on the coniferous flower pillow, while you can use hot glue to attach all the elements, but learn that it will be much more difficult to disassemble everything after the holiday is over and some elements may no longer be suitable for further use.


In general do-it-yourself children's Christmas compositions- this is a special art, usually kids want to turn bouquets into a whole fairy-tale world. If you want to give a gift to a kid, then don't forget to complete the most beautiful arrangement with a few chocolates that he can find and eat. This, believe me, will not spoil the impression at all, but will only make them even more desirable and attractive in children's eyes.

DIY Christmas compositions: photo


The correct location of the decorative composition in the interior is just as important as its attractive appearance. Large DIY Christmas compositions, photo which you might like in this article are designed to decorate rooms as a main accent. It is better to use them in a single placement for a bedroom, a children's room or a kitchen, that is, where exactly the composition will remind everyone that the holidays are going on. 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 works. The ideal option would be one in which the materials, colors and decoration elements will be repeated both on a large Christmas tree and in a table composition, this principle of pairing is used by designers everywhere.


You can see a simple example in the drawing lesson. do-it-yourself New Year's compositions, master class which is above. For work, green juniper branches were chosen as the basis, since they give a dense opaque base, which fits well in one layer and allows you to well fix the rest of the elements. Take a dish with high sides, if it is not too decorative in itself, then you can tighten the walls with cloth or corrugated paper. In our case, this is a special wicker basket, which is designed for fruits, sweets and the like. Put juniper branches on the bottom of the container to get the most even circle with the tips of the branches outward. Pine cones on this background can be somewhat lost, so they need to be given color, for this, apply a little white paint to the tip of each scale with a brush, it will turn out as if the cones are a little powdered 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 rest of the elements, such as fir cones, small fabric roses, silver and golden Christmas balls. Choose decor so that you get an overall harmonious color scheme. A wide candle is installed inside, which should also match all the other elements in color, it is not even necessary to set it on fire, it will create an accent on its own. A string of beads will finish the work, which can be stretched or put on top so that a small part of it hangs from the wall of the stand.


Needles do not have to become a star in crafts, for example, for do-it-yourself New Year's compositions, master-the class of which is located above, ordinary cones become the basis and main element. Any schoolchild knows how to harvest and prepare them for work, but most often kilograms of cones brought from a forest or park lie unclaimed in the house. You can just dump it conceptually into a heap, explaining it as fashionable, or you can decorate them a little, turn them into a decoration for a window sill, shelf, coffee table or cabinet. Again, the container in which you will put the cones is of no small importance, the more beautiful it is, the more beautiful your craft automatically becomes. Each bump is painted in exactly the same way as in the previous master class, moreover, they do not have to be the same in appearance and size. In a single whole, we combine spruce, pine, cedar, 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. Then we lay out the cones in the right order and glue small roses on the ends of the branches, which are made from the smallest, softest cones (you still have to work with sharp tools, so be careful).

New Year's composition on the table with your own hands

If earlier on the festive table you simply strive to put as many dishes as possible and already saw sufficient decor in their decoration with parsley, today they are already approaching the correct serving with more responsibility. Central New Year's composition on the table with your own hands will attract even more attention than the Christmas tree, because it is on it that most of the eyes will be turned during dinner. It does not make sense to make it very large, it will interfere with people at the table, and there will be less space for all cutlery. If you have a round table, then it can occupy its inner part, but if you put a rectangular, elongated table, then it is better to make the flower decoration rectangular.


Among all the examples, needles, branches, I would like to highlight fashionable rustic bouquets. This deliberately rough, rustic style has become a favorite for organizing weddings, birthdays, and today it is already actively reclaiming New Year's venues. In the photo above you can see interesting examples solved in this style. Please note that for the preparation and decoration of such bouquets you will not need significant financial costs, 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, desktop works can obey the same rules as everyone else, with a few exceptions, because they use candles, branches, only those that are not fragile, do not crumble and fall apart from touch, because they will often touch the bouquet at the table. It would also be appropriate to add a few elements of an edible plan to the craft, this will make the decor related to the dishes on the table. A good example of this approach is the apple flower coasters that are placed in the center of the table.

New Year's composition from branches with your own hands


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

Make a Christmas composition with your own hands

We offer you based on branches make a Christmas composition with your own hands. For this, in addition to the main element, you will also need a couple of clusters of mountain ash.


Branches and berries will need to be painted; at home, this is easiest to do with thick paper, such as magazine pages. A large number of sheets are folded with an overlap on the surface, you lay branches on top, then you fold the paper into a bag and spray it inside with spray paint with a metallic sheen.


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

For every holiday, you want to decorate your home, make it elegant and even more welcoming in accordance with each season. And the meeting of the New Year requires special sophistication. New Year's compositions are assembled ahead of time or in a matter of minutes, from beautiful little things that are at home or from cones brought from a forest or park, painted or natural, pine and spruce branches, balls, nuts, flowers, garlands and snowflakes. And from glitter! Iridescent, luminous, sparkling Christmas decorations and a variety of candles, in general, everything that pleases the eye, warms the heart and awakens inspiration, all this will make a beautiful composition that can decorate the New Year's table and window sills and put on a table or bedside table or on a chest of drawers near the mirror.

Let's not beat around the bush for a long time and see a few ideas. I do not have a permanent annual set to create a New Year's composition. Every year I look for something new, and every time it turns out that this is not there, then this, then the recommendations for making curiosities do not correspond to reality. Therefore, I picked up different compositions, something, but there will certainly be at home to implement the idea or so that you can buy it without ruin. And also, I want to talk about a negative experience with pomanders and bleached buds.

1.Glitter appeal of Christmas balls

How to assemble a composition and make sure that the balls do not scatter, look at the video in the article

2. We use luminous garlands, on batteries or from the mains

Here is the key detail, a glowing snowball garland.

3. Attract indoor flowers

Cones and a candle radically change the look of a simple houseplant, giving it the mood of Christmas comfort.

As well as flowers from the garden, such as rejuvenated and roses.

4. But magnificent artificial flowers have also found application.

4. Of course, bumps.

Amazingly beautiful, different, inspiring. They are great to collect, this fun event already has a premonition of a home holiday.

Cones can bleach, dye, decorate with beads and artificial snow. When bleaching It is important to know that the buds do not bleach to an absolute white color, but they will still acquire a beautiful appearance. You need to bleach for at least 24 hours and it is better to take pine, spruce bleaches worse.

bleached buds

So that they do not close, hold them on a battery or in an oven at a low temperature, that is, dry them so that they do not close. And then, you will succeed as in the blog plumperfectandme.blogspot.com Purple Hues and Me

Ice and cones.

Painting

Simply paint the buds by dipping them in paint cans and then hanging to dry. And yet, such a loop screwed into the cone will make it easy to hang the cones on the Christmas tree or help to hang them to dry:

A simple composition with cones and Christmas decorations is also fraught with craftsmanship.

Acorns, chestnuts and citrus fruits get along well with cones. Oranges are cut and dried.


6. About pomanders

I would really like to make a composition of fragrant pomanders, but the experience of last year stops me, although they look very beautiful in the pictures. And, directly, it is believed that they have an amazing smell.

What you see is done just for one time table decoration. After a couple of days, the oranges will start moldy. Even if you follow the advice to dry them, they will look different, not so attractive, and there will be no smell from a shriveled brown orange. True, maybe someone will succeed, but my experience was bleak and it was a pity that money and time were thrown away.

7. Fragrant compositions

But really fragrant New Year's compositions can be made if you smear the cones with glue, roll them in ground cinnamon, cloves or cardamom, and even place them near the candles, then you can hope for success.

8. With houses

In a previous article, I talked about backlit. New Year's compositions with houses that you can make with your own hands look absolutely amazing.

Or bake gingerbread gingerbread houses. Watch the video on how to make such a wonderful composition.

9. Outdoor decor

Let's not forget the outdoor decorations, you don't even need to use fake snow. If you keep flowers outside the window in summer, beautiful compositions of fir branches, red ribbons or balls can be placed in their place in winter. I always put some beauty on my balcony. See the article "".

Outside the window, you can make it beautiful and useful by arranging Do the plants on the balcony look great in winter? Read
Happy New Year. Always with you, .

Good afternoon - today our article will be devoted to New Year's compositions. This means that we will compose with you small ISLANDS OF NEW YEAR HAPPINESS. I will show you how such small compositions can decorate the New Year's table. Or how to decorate a room with their help - giving it the spirit of expectation of a fabulous holiday.

We will have…

  • small DESKTOP New Year's compositions with crockery... with candles… Compositions from natural materialEdible Christmas crafts...
  • …there will be SUSPENDED compositions to decorate a window or wall…
  • ...and there will be MAJOR crafts to decorate the fireplace area or decorate part of the room.

So, let's see how you can decorate the house for the New Year ...

TABLE compositions - with BEADS, BALLS and WARE.

The simplest idea is to take a beautiful wide vase or a ceramic SALAD BOWL - put candles of different sizes in it .... To the bottom put Christmas decorations between the candles and distribute a beautifully long string of glass beads - You can see an example of this idea in the left photo below.- everything here is sustained in a single silver-gold color. But you can have a blue composition ... or red ... to match the color of your service and tablecloth on the New Year's table.

More ... (right photo below - look how original ...) you need to take round CAKE STAND(on a high leg). And on this round "podium" arrange wine glasses, glasses, vases- which to fill with Christmas decorations (small balls), beads, glass crystals.

Not necessary such "ware-New Year's" compositions to do in one color. It can be a bright combination of three or four colors. Moreover, you can lay them randomly ... or you can GROUP by shade(as in the left photo below) - where the Christmas tree decor in blue tones lies in one pile ... purple tinsel is collected in another ... red ... yellow ... green - it all forms rainbow arrangement of fir tree toys on one big platter.

And you can use as bright colors not only juicy fir balls - but also bright DENSE-COLOR LIQUIDS in pot-bellied decanters and glass saucers(see left photo below).

And also ... you can add TRIANGULAR CONICAL SHAPES to round balls - that is, buy bright wrapping paper (in the gift wrapping department) ... roll it off bright cones ... and arrange here and there in our composition- it turns out an imitation of Christmas trees. If these cones decorate with glue rhinestones(sold in any newsstand - sticker rhinestones) - then our cones-herringbones will be quite elegant. This is also a simple idea.

They also look good in compositions for the New Year's table - tall flat vases for fruit and cakes… They are single-tier (as in the purple photo below) ... or multi-tiered (as in the red example in the photo below).

They can also be decorated with a scattering of Christmas balls and colored lozenges.

You can also flip ordinary wine glasses.– and their flat base makes a great candle holder. Under the "head" of an inverted glass, you can put a flower, glass beads or a scattering of small Christmas balls-babies (such tiny balls are sold at any New Year's fair).

Do you know? ... how to put balls in a glass and not scatter them, when will you turn the glass upside down? It's very simple - you need to pour balls into a glass - put a cardboard on top. Turn the glass over on the table - remove the cardboard from under it - and you're done: all the balls remained under the glass. And we get a beautiful New Year's candlestick.

And in New Year's table compositions, you can use a GARLAND ... It can be placed at the bottom of colored vases and wine glasses. Or hide among the tinsel, beads and floral material (leaves, flowers).

Or you can buy crystal trees (during the season they are sold in almost every major store) or Christmas tree lamps. Put such a Christmas tree in the center of the future composition - surround it with candles and other New Year's decorations and ... light all this splendor in the evening. The fire of candles will be reflected in the crystal of the Christmas tree, in the shiny silver of the tray ... in the candlesticks wrapped in foil.

Can be used as a basis not a tray ... a WITTED BASKET… And add to standard candles and balls tape ... and a fan, in the same colors as Christmas decorations.

And you can do without any vessel or container ... just make a beautiful layout on the table New Year's tools...

Arrange heart shaped balls… add spruce twigs… cones… tablet candles… dried orange slices… and fragrant bundles of cinnamon sticks tied with a ribbon

look good compositions with a big star... already for this it is worth buying it ... or you can make a beautiful New Year's star with your own hands ... How exactly I will tell in a separate article and then a link to it will work here.

And if you find DEER FIGURINES on sale ... then you can make a beautiful craft on a flat dish covered with moss ... with a small artificial spruce and acorns ...

or in a ROUND BELLOW WIDE VASE (or aquarium) with SALT poured into it (like snow), stick cones (like Christmas trees) into a salt snowdrift ... and insert a white candle ... which in the evening will illuminate this small piece of the winter world ... with handsome deer.

New Year's compositions - made by YOUR HANDS.

You can make beautiful elements of New Year's decor with your own hands. It could be A CHRISTMAS SPOTLIGHTED WITH GLITTER.

It is done simply - we fold a bag of thick paper - cut off the bottom edge of the bag-cone (so that it stands exactly on the table). We smear the cone with silicate glue - and sprinkle it with shiny sequins ... You can fill the gaps between the sequins with a manicure powder (it is small enough to close all the tiny gaps).

If you feel sorry for the money for sequins(such an amount will cost a lot) ... you can do it easier and cheaper. We buy in the store the usual fluffy foil garland... and cut it all "makhrushka" with scissors- we get a whole bunch of crayons of sparkles - they can be strewn with a cone-blank of a Christmas tree.

And you can also make a WITTED CHRISTMAS WEB ...(Here as in the left photo above... pale golden, see?) ... It is also made super-simply - just below I am attaching step-by-step instructions.

Workshop on making a Christmas tree from threads.

1. We take the same paper cone - a bottle of silicate glue (old Soviet). Golden threads (or beige threads) are smaller in size ... and a little bit thicker in size (you can use a cord or twine).

2. We make a hole in the glue bottle (right in the barrel)- through and through on both sides - we thread our thread into the hole (using a needle) - and it turns out that our thread is calmly pulled through the glue (wetting evenly). We put the spool of thread on the bottom of the glass jar (so that it does not jump on the table).

3. And now our paper cone we will entangle with this glue thread- we just pull it through the bottle ... it immediately comes out smeared with glue ... and we wind it in a chaotic manner on our conical Christmas tree blank.

4. When the main winding is driven, the whole product can be sprinkle with gold dust(it could be nail powder… it could be a spray can of gold paint… it could be a shredded gold garland)

We also smear the cord with glue (you can not shove it into a bottle of glue), but simply immerse the cord in a bowl of glue. Take out and attach in a SMOOTH LINE from the top of the tree to the very bottom. And do it IN SIX DIFFERENT PLACES. And then with this cord make a circle-ring at the very base of the Christmas tree.

6. After drying (5-6 hours), you can carefully separate the paper cone from the openwork cobweb of frozen threads ... Just poke paper through the holes - it should move away well (if it’s bad to move away somewhere, you can moisten it with water - ONLY from the back of the cone.

You can make original Christmas trees and snowmen from balls of cotton threads… It turns out a stylish composition in snowy tones. From white wire, you can make accessories for snowmen (shoes, pens, smoking pipes).

You can collect cones, paint them in gold and silver paint y (from a can) - and put mixed with balls in high cylindrical vases.

And you can do it yourself beautiful Christmas trees from Christmas balls. How to make such a Christmas tree with your own hands in 30 minutes (without a drop of glue ... that is, dry work, you can trust the children, they won’t get dirty) I’ll tell you now.

Everything is simple and really fast.

Step 1. We make the base in the form of a cone. We take thick paper (we buy a sheet of drawing paper in stationery). We take a large dish (round, the size of the dish can be 2 times the sheet) - put the dish on the sheet and circle it with a pencil so that it turns out FLOOR CIRCLE. We cut out half a circle and turn it into a cone, fasten the cone flaps with a stapler or double-sided tape.

Step 2. Fill the surface of the cone with large balls. We take the wire and pierce it the bottom of the cone- on a wire tail we string Christmas balls, on metal ears. We wrap the wire with balls around the bottom of the cone, the balls are distributed evenly around the cone, in a tight row. Next, the wire, when it reaches the closure of the circle, we pass a couple of times through the place where the wire leaves the cone (that is, we close the circle). And now we make the second circle (it will be higher than the first one). We string the balls again and again wrap the wire with the balls around the cone. We make as many such wire rings with strung balls as necessary in order to close the cone from top to bottom.

Step 3. Fill the holes with small balls. Between the big balls we will have gap holes. They need to be closed with smaller balls. To do this, cut the wire into short pieces, thread a ball into each segment separately. And we will fix each such ball separately. We pierce the cone with the wire in the place of the hole - in two places - we twist the tails of the wire with the hanging ball into a knot inside the cone .. So that the wire does not break through this place of the cone - this zone can be sealed - before piercing on the inside of the cone in this place, stick an additional piece of paper on double-sided tape - even if the child pulls on a small ball, the wire will not tear the puncture site.

SWEET Christmas compositions with a gingerbread house.

OR ... you can make your own hands DELICIOUS NEW YEAR CRAFTS ... for example, this Christmas gingerbread house.

Such a house sets on a rectangular base... so that it is convenient to carry it ... And if you make several gingerbread houses, you can build a small village ... If you place such a village on a mirror (as in the photo below), you get the feeling that the houses are on the shore of a winter lake ... Very beautiful composition.

You can make a THREE-TIER CHRISTMAS PENDANT (as we can see in the pink photo below)…

Your child can do it (it's so simple) ... you have to buy soft aluminum wire(it is very cheap in any hardware store, kiosk) and turn right away THREE RINGS in different sizes... Connect the ring-tiers with a pyramid (using the same wire) and wrap it all with a garland of foil... and then put an ELECTRIC GARLAND with LEDs along the same rings. It turns out a beautiful New Year's chandelier.

And it's even easier to do SUSPENSION FROM THICK CORPORATED CARDBOARD. That's exactly what we see on the left photo above (with purple flowers) ...

We take dense carto n from the box - cut out the circle… in a circle poke three holes- in holes we pass the ribbon(our suspension will hang on it). We place on this circle to composition of moss, twigs, dry herbs and flowers and small candlesticks (necessarily in glass cups) so that the branches do not flare up. (Or lay out an electric garland). And we get a beautiful New Year's pendant.

Here are more options decoration of the New Year's hanging composition... You can make your own design - the author's... under your general style... under the color that you have chosen as the main color of the Christmas tree.

And you can make everything easier ... tie balls on threads to the chandelier ... make threads of different lengths - so that each ball occupies its own SEPARATE AIR SPACE and does not come into contact with another ball.

And I showed an interesting version of the suspension in the article

And in the same ideological vein, you can make a New Year's hanging decoration for windows . We attach bright ribbons (or white ropes) to the same cornice where the curtains hang and tie Christmas toys or home-made flat stars made of gold cardboard on them.

We also make ribbons and ropes MANDATORY OF DIFFERENT LONG - so that each toy in the row takes its own LEVEL, its place - so that they do not crowd in a row like cows at a watering hole.

You first think how do you want to see this New Year's holiday row on the window-

  1. lay it out on the carpet toys and ribbons...
  2. adjust(right on the floor) the length of the tapes and the level of the position of the toy ...
  3. and when you like the composition, then start transferring it ONE PIECE to the curtain rod ...

Or you can make a hanging composition not at the window opening ... and the little one… Hang spruce legs from above (directly on the wall) .. a beautifully lower the ropes from spruce paws with fancy balloons... and cookies. The main thing is to watch from time to time ... whether the decorating New Year's cookies have disappeared from the wall into the warm womb of your kids.

Well, now it's the turn of the candles ...

Compositions WITH NEW YEAR'S CANDLES.

Candles in the New Year are the main thing. Without them, New Year's Eve is no different from non-New Year's Eve. There should be candles - and they should flicker ... And what beautiful compositions can be made with them, we will now analyze ...

Can be taken a long plate (for example, a herring, if a fish is drawn in the herring, cover it with foil) ... Put the balls on a plate ... put candles in a row ... For extra style, you can cut one long candle into pieces of different sizes with a knife - AND ARRIVE IN ORDER from large to small to make steps ...

You can just randomly arrange candles on a table or mantelpiece (if you have a fireplace). And you can make beautiful candlesticks from ordinary glasses.

The tutorial here is simple... We buy in stationery a couple of cans of stained glass paint And one tube with a stained glass contour(the contour is a thick paste) ... On the glasses, draw cells with a contour (for example, square ones, as in the photo below). We let the contour dry - 4-5 hours ... and fill the cells of the contour with different colors of stained glass paint ... If the instructions on the package require baking, then we bake such a painted glass in the oven - the temperature is 120 degrees (average is obtained) ... 5 minutes.

You can decorate a New Year's candle GREENED with sequins or sparkling powder to decorate a manicure or beads ...

For this the surface of the candle must first be made sticky ... You can hold the right places over the fire ... so that the barrel of the candle heats up and begins to melt slightly ... And while the melted side is soft and sticky - pour the sprinkle on it - gently press down, pressing it into the soft side of the candle. It turns out an elegant decorated New Year's candle.

You can also have candles put on upside down crystal goblets... and below scatter imitation of snowballs. Do you know how to make snowballs?

How to make beautiful snowballs from felt or cotton.

There are two ways. The first way - cotton wool, put in a bowl with pva glue- and when she gets wet, we roll the ball with our hands - we put it to dry for the night ...

The second way is to buy felt for felting ... Pour soapy water into a bowl(we use any white soap) - tear off a lump of felt. We immerse it in soapy water - and wet a piece we roll into a ball ... The longer we ride ... the harder we press with our palms, the denser we get a felt snowball ball. As it rolls, you can add pieces of felt to it - if you want a bigger ball. They will stick to it - like clods of snow stick to a snowball. And we roll ... we roll. Children will love to roll such soapy wet lumps of felt.

Such lumps can be pierced with branches- and it will turn out like branches in the snow ...

And you can make FLOATING NEW YEAR CANDLES . They are sold as round candles... or triangular floating cone candles.

A container of water for floating candles can be decorated with beads, branches of flowers and shrubs. Such compositions look especially beautiful with red-style decoration (red berries, beads, candles) ... I collected a lot of ideas on red decor for the New Year in a separate article

Can do red apple candlesticks , and decorate with a ribbon and a sprig of evergreen fir. You can tie a candle with a bundle of reeds, or long caramel sticks.

You can put candles in small flower pots (as tiny as cathus) and decorate them with moss and cones.

And since we have already touched on the topic of moss, cones, it’s worth moving to a new paragraph ...

New Year's compositions - from NATURAL materials.

Can you make your own candlestick? from plump saw cuts of large branches or logs. In such a cut of the log, you need to make a recess (drill or slot) and insert a candle into it. You can paint such saw cuts with gold paint.


You can make a floral New Year's composition - simply by laying natural material on the bottom of the container, forming a dry bouquet or leaves, cones, herbs.

Can be used as a base beautiful wooden box... cover it with a lace napkin (or satin fabric) lay sprigs of needles, cones, Christmas balls ... And you can also make Christmas cones with your own hands - in a special article

Can it be made from natural material? make Christmas trees. Very simple Christmas crafts. When thin branches are glued onto a paper cone ... flakes of bark from a tree ... white airy flakes of cotton wool or white yarn.

SCALE compositions for home decoration for the New Year.

New Year's compositions are not only desktop ... You can make large decorative islands- placing them on the floor by the fireplace ... or in the corner of the room next to the Christmas tree ... on the flight of stairs ... or on the porch at the front entrance to the house.

Christmas composition can be made from the sled ... from the cart. You just need more spruce legs, red ribbons, Christmas decorations, cones and more ...

These are the ideas of how to make New Year's compositions for decorating your home for the New Year yourself.

And also…
