How to decorate a house for the New Year
New Year, this is the time when even in small things you want to create a festive atmosphere, so you need to think in advance how to decorate your house by the New Year. The center of attention and the main character for the New Year is the Christmas tree. New Year without a green beauty is not considered a New Year. Previously, the tree was from the forest, and now it can be silvery, green, blue, artificial and so on.
If you have a very small apartment and have nowhere to put a Christmas tree, then on the wall in a wall vase we will place a bouquet of fir or pine branches. And you can make these branches "frosted". To do this, take a strong salt solution - one and a half liters of water a kilogram of salt. The solution is boiled and immersed there for 6 hours. Then carefully take out so that the salt is not shaken off and dried.
We decorate the Christmas tree not with toys, but fantasize. To do this, let's take and make homemade figurines of paper, bows, sweets, fruits. Toys will do long before the New Year. We will include children, our households, and on the Internet there are many recommendations on how to make toys with our own hands.
If you like shopping toys, bring your children to the store, for them, going after toys will be an adventure. When the Christmas tree turns into a beauty, you can proceed to the design of the house. A festive view of the house will give garlands that we will hang around the house, and before that we will fantasize what they will be in shape and what color. A wonderful view will give snow, it can be made from cotton wool or from aerosol snow. Let's remember our childhood, we will cut snowflakes from foil and paper and decorate them with walls and windows. Take thin color and white paper, scissors, foil, show the children how to fold the sheet and where to make holes and cuts.
The attribute of the New Year's Eve are candles
We will make them by our own hands or we will buy them in the store. The lesson is quite fascinating and not difficult. Now in any art salon or children's department you can buy sets for making festive candles. Candles also require candlesticks. When they are made of glass, you can draw on them a variety of Christmas and New Year stories, paint with different stained-glass paints. And the more naive the story, the funnier these drawings will be. Only you have to believe in yourself. You can decorate the painted lanterns with snow (cotton wool) and hang around the house.
New Year's holiday table
New Year's table by tradition should be beautifully served - with a Christmas ornament or a plain tablecloth, beautifully and originally folded napkins, candles, sparkling wine glasses. Candles should be placed so that they do not interfere with the communication at the festive table. On this family holiday there will be superbly colored napkins and a snow-white tablecloth, for example, a dark green color, under the color of needles. We roll them into a tube and tie them with ribbons of golden or silver color. If you want something colorful, bright, then pick up the tone items serving, dishes and tablecloth.
