As a rule, about New Year  we recall unexpectedly and are very surprised that only a couple of days remained before its onset. Of course, we are extremely happy for the holiday, because we have been waiting for it for a very long time.

But all the time, it seemed that there were still kilograms and even tons of time ahead to prepare for this main holiday of the year. And they didn’t save money, and put aside gifts, festive decor, drawing up a New Year’s menu, manicure, pedicure, hairdo for later ... And he took it and came! And we have no gifts, no money, no Christmas tree. Only without panic! Of course, you still have to spend money on the Christmas goose, but manicure and festive decor can be done with your own hands. And it will take a little time, and it’s not necessary to be a talented designer.

Ice fantasy inside

Great idea for New Year's decor for a personal plot! Inside this ice decorations  anything can be: shells, mint leaves, rowan berries, buttons, and even bright candies ... Ask your children what they would like to put in an ice castle - I think they will have a lot of ideas. And the children will be happy to share with you the fascinating process of decorating your home for the New Year.

If you liked this idea, then here is a short instruction: pour water into a plate and lay out in it everything that you managed to collect. If desired, you can paint over water by adding a little food coloring. Finally, cut the thread and fold it in half. Lower the loop into the water so that later the product can be suspended by it. The resulting "dish" we take out in the cold, where it should be until fully prepared, that is, solidification. When the Christmas toy reaches the stage of readiness, pour a little warm water on a plate and get your craft.

In the European footsteps


The fashion to decorate the house with wreaths came to us from Europe, and we gratefully accepted it. Because a Christmas wreath is convenient, stylish and inexpensive. And if you show a little ingenuity, then it’s completely free, because you can do it yourself. To do this, you just need to take small branches of spruce and tie them to each other in a circle with threads - the wreath is ready! It remains only to decorate it: to entwine with ribbons, braid or lace, to decorate with bows, tinsel and Christmas toys. By the way christmas decorations  also easy to do by yourself. More about this below.

Satin surroundings

In general, satin ribbons in such a thing as do-it-yourself Christmas decoration at home is an irreplaceable thing. So get them in advance. Tapes can be wrapped around anything, and this “anything” will immediately take on a festive look. For example, the most ordinary glass goblets, which are an obligatory attribute of all holiday feasts and have had time to feed everyone. Having thrown a couple of satin ribbons on themselves, they look elegant and unique, as if they had not been on your table for the previous six years.

Needlewomen note


To make such Christmas trees, it is not necessary to be a skilled seamstress. It is enough to possess such qualities as patience and good eyesight - this is quite enough to fall into the narrow eye of a needle with a thread. Got it? And now we sew volumetric triangles of different sizes from soft tissue. On them we sew pieces of shiny fabric, paste on sequins of various shapes, sew on beads, beads, braid, bows. Especially patient can embroider New Year's words and congratulations with a curly line.

Christmas tree garland


Felt is a wonderful material for making Christmas decorations. In addition to such Christmas trees for a garland, you can cut out New Year's balls from it, a figure of Santa Claus, a Snowman ...

Cookie toys


I think you should not tell how to make such Christmas-tree decorations. A “tasty” solution to the New Year’s problem (I think there is a kilogram of cookies in every house)! To add festive sparkle to unusual toys, you can spray them with glitter hairspray. True, eating them after this is not recommended!

Traditional solution


These snowflakes come from childhood. Surely most of us made them in kindergarten, school, or with your beloved grandmother. And again you can return to that carefree time, because the New Year is the most magical holiday of the year! Be sure to call your child for help! Just do not tell him, but try to interest him - do not forget that in the New Year's fairy tale you are his peer friend, and not a strict parent. While you will be doing the next workpiece, he will cut the previous one. Together, you will very quickly deal with this matter.

Non-electric light bulbs


Do not believe it - in front of you are ordinary bulbs. Yes, those who give us light and burn out at the most inopportune moment. A little paint, a little doll clothes, a little imagination - and such “lamp-poop” will become the best decoration of your Christmas tree!

Air charm


Such balls will transform any New Year’s decor, favorably complementing the main holiday decoration and emphasizing the necessary accents. Everything ingenious is simple: we dip the threads in PVA glue and carefully wrap them in the inflated balloon. When they dry, gently blow off the ball.

Pasta - on a string


A thread - on a needle (Christmas tree). It turned out a great Christmas decoration! To prepare such a miracle, you will need pasta, an adhesive gun, acrylic mother-of-pearl paints, glitters and ribbons.

No baking tins


And for the New Year's decor. A wreath of baking tins will not only decorate your home, but also amaze your guests - they certainly have never seen such a thing before! New Year is a great occasion to show your imagination and ingenuity. Look at ordinary things through the eyes of a child, and you will immediately find the right New Year's application for them. I heard some do it christmas toys  even from socks. Why not give it a try?

New Year is the most favorite holiday. Even a birthday is better, because this celebration is shared only by loved ones, and the whole world celebrates New Year. It is not surprising that they start preparing for it in a month, buy products for half a month, but they have to decorate at the last minute, because it is worthless to wait for a week for a festive decorated Christmas tree.

Year of the Fire Monkey

The idea: how you celebrate the New Year, so you live the whole year - long ago, from superstition turned into a strong tradition. And if a couple of decades ago it came down to a mandatory generous feast and friendly atmosphere, now the custom has also been added to meet the corresponding symbol of the year.


In 2016, a fiery monkey reigns. The animal in Chinese mythology is very special and revered no less than a fabulous dragon. Fun and varied fireworks are indispensable: the fiery monkey is a big fan of fiery fun and entertainment.


Red balls - an indispensable attribute on the tree. The patroness of 2016 adores red, orange and yellow, and also lilac - apparently, in quality, contrast. So the room and ceiling should shine in a fiery cheerful scale.


Of course, sweets in colored shiny wrappers. The latter should not only be in the vase, but also decorate the Christmas tree, fill the pockets of all guests, because on New Year's Eve candy is the universal currency, and even hang on ribbons from the chandelier.


And there is always a lot of colored tinsel: the monkey loves everything that is shiny and sparkling, so you should get the forgotten glass beads from the dressing table and use it for jewelry. Moreover, to do it yourself is very simple.


Rain and snow

Decorating the ceiling with rain and artificial snow is almost the same tradition for us as in Catholic countries to hang a sock over a fireplace. "Rain", or rather, tinsel of different lengths and degrees of fluffiness is acquired in the store, this time, giving preference to red and yellow. Snow is made independently.


You can decorate the ceiling for the New Year in different ways.

  • Garlands and "rain" - to make them the easiest. Sliced \u200b\u200balong the length of the tinsel, glued to the ceiling surface with pieces of adhesive tape. If the rain is very light, wet cotton can be used: when dry, it compacts and holds the product. Garlands are attached in the same way to tape.
  • The figures on the ceiling for the New Year - stars, snowflakes, the contours of a Christmas tree or even Santa Claus are laid out on the surface, tightly pressing tinsel and pulling it before fixing. Doing it yourself is a little more difficult, since you have to work in an uncomfortable position.
  • Applications - for this, a snowflake or star is cut out of thick cardboard and decorated with tinsel, sparkles, sequins and beads. And the finished product is fixed to the ceiling. As a rule, double-sided tape is enough. In the photo you can see such a "star".


“Snow” for the New Year is also made by different methods. The simplest one is ball-wound lumps of medical cotton wool that are strung on a thread and fastened with tape to the surface. Such an ornament can be diversified by collecting transparent glass balls, glass beads, pieces of polystyrene foam or snowflakes cut from it on the same string.

Decorate with openwork air "snow" may be so. Loosely wrap white threads on a cotton ball and grease with glue or varnish. When the glue dries, carefully pull the cotton wool from the inside. The result is a ball of shiny threads. Such work requires patience, but the result looks very impressive, as can be seen in the photo.


Jewelry on strings

The tree is supposed to be decorated with colored balls, toys, candles, as well as sweets, silver-plated nuts and even gingerbread people. The latter options have not been used for a long time, but the idea itself can be implemented in another way.


The ceiling is not decorated with completely edible objects, but with an imitation in the old style - easily.

  • Nuts and cones, like the most “Christmas objects”, are painted with metallized acrylic paint, strung on a stern thread - you can on a ribbon or braid, and fixed to the ceiling, curtain rod and chandelier. Silver shiny cones, especially together with glass beads or snowflakes, will turn an ordinary lamp into a chandelier from the chambers of the Snow Queen. In the photo you can see such a decoration for the New Year.
  • Snowflakes are a universal way to decorate for the New Year and windows, doors, and the ceiling, and the Christmas tree. Snowflakes can be made of tissue paper and thick paper, cut out of polystyrene foam and tied from wire and even strung from glass beads and beads. Snowflakes from thin delicate material are fixed on the plane of the ceiling, and from dense - the same polystyrene, strung on a thread and fixed.

A very beautiful idea is the mass of identical small snowflakes on threads of different lengths. But such a “snow whirlwind” is recommended to be fixed on its own base of cardboard. And the last to stick to the ceiling.


Snowflakes made of foam or the like can be painted with acrylics, greased with glue and sprinkled with sparkles or finely chopped tinsel. Such crafts are easy to make even at the very last moment, and they create a fabulous atmosphere.

The most joyful holiday for children and adults is the New Year. How to decorate the house and at the same time make half of the preparations with your own hands and our article will tell.

Russians are used to associating the New Year with the Chinese calendar, according to which 2014 will be the year of the blue wooden horse. For our public, this only means that the image of the horse will be present in every corner of the apartment. If you believe the Japanese, then the element of the coming year is a tree, so wooden toys, vases and horse figures should be presented to all those invited for the holiday, and at least one horse should be present in the house as an ornament.

There are a million ways to decorate an apartment, so let's focus on the most common and sophisticated.

In a classic form, an apartment decorated for the new year looks like this:

New Year decoration door

Christmas wreaths with bells and cones hang on the doors either above them, or simply on the wall, thereby attracting the eye and delighting. Making a Christmas wreath with your own hands is not difficult, you only need to buy some details and read it.

You can not spend too much money - put real pine branches in a wreath, but this method has both pros and cons. Of the advantages - every time you open the door, a fir smell will spread throughout the apartment. Less - pine needles dry out and crumble, causing confusion and minor injuries.

Another option is a wreath made of Christmas toys. Since you will hang it on the door, it is better to buy plastic New Year's toys - they will not break and will not rattle much. Balls selected in one gamut are fastened with a wire, and a beautiful bright bow is tied at the place of fastening of the ends.


The horseshoe decorating the door is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. You can use this symbol in combination with a wreath * (hide the horseshoe inside the wreath), or separately, and then devote more time to decorating the horseshoe door.

Curtains and their drapery with New Year's snowflakes

Tinsel is sewn to the bottom of the curtains, the top of the window, from one end to the other is decorated with special tinsel, or a chain made independently. Do-it-yourself rainfall and snowflakes are attached to the curtains.


Usually, they choose green, red, golden colors for tinsel, but, as they say, the imagination is limitless, so act as your heart tells you.

Ceiling Decoration for New Year


How to decorate the house and in particular the ceiling for the New Year? Here you need to know what it is: if its coating is not whitewash, then you can attach a rain with a thin adhesive tape, and hang a snowflake or a bell cut out of paper on each thread of the rain.

Some string pieces of cotton wool on a thread of rain, it turns out very interesting and gives an amazing winter look.

Colored balloons  suitable for decorating false ceilings, attach them in different places with tape. At the same time, the ball itself can be painted with white snowflakes - just draw them on the ball with a corrector.

Christmas decorations on the windows

The most likely way to decorate the window for Christmas and New Year is by gluing snowflakes, self-adhesive pictures to it. Creative people and families with small children often draw arbitrary pictures on the windows: a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and animals.

When choosing paints, it is better to use modern analogues. They used to paint with gouache, today they sell special stained-glass paints, which when dried turn into a thin film of the picture and do not spread when moisture gets into it. Stained-glass windows are painted on a transparent and dense oilcloth, sitting at a desk, then the picture is torn off and moved to the right place.

If you took care in advance and did not forget to buy LED lights in the form of a grid, then just decorate the window with them. Colored flashing garlands are the best decorations on the windows, they will cheer you up and give a boost of vivacity for the whole coming year!

Dress up the Christmas tree for the New Year. How to decorate a house with candles and serpentine

Be very careful about decorating the New Year tree itself - a symbol of goodness and wisdom.

If you want your Christmas tree not only to decorate the house, but also to lighten the mood for you and your loved ones, then you must take care of its appearance.

First, determine the place where to put the tree. If you have children, it should be spacious so that the guys take round dances around her. The Christmas tree should always be in sight so that you can enjoy it with your friends.

Dress up Christmas tree  first with garlands of lights, then with toys - evenly distribute them over the entire surface, then decorate it with tinsel.

Candles placed in suitable places are a symbol of longevity and patience. Choose them so that you like the smell and appearance. It is most reasonable to put candles on the window and on the festive table, but if the family has small children, then it is better to abandon this.

Do not forget about serpentine. If the New Year's holiday arrives, the decoration of the apartment should not resemble a boring ideal order: a serpentine thrown across the room, stuck somewhere on the furniture, funny painted faces on the mirror, decorative gift socks mounted on the wall - this is the condition that awaits under New Year's family and guests. Allow yourself to relax and have fun!

As you can see, decorating a house for the New Year and Christmas is not difficult if you closely deal with it.
