How to make a table for the new year
First you need to decide what color scheme will be selected items serving. The main New Year colors are red, white and green. It's hard to say why, it's probably the colors of Santa's costume and the main New Year tree, or maybe for some other reason, but these colors are used most often for serving New Year's table. Each year, according to the eastern calendar, one of 12 animals accompanies each year and astrologers advise the colors with which it is desirable to meet the coming year. It will be interesting if the colors of the table will be matched according to their recommendations. But in general, if you want to depart from conventions and platitudes, you can give a move to your fantasy and do something delightful.
So, after you have decided on the color you need to decide on a tablecloth. It can be a tablecloth on the whole table, or small rugs for each person personally. It will be original, if the backs of chairs decorate in the tone of the tablecloth.

Next is the choice of napkins. Napkins can be used woven or paper. As for paper, their choice in supermarkets of any city can only be envied. But if you decide to use woven fabrics and if you know the skill of embroidery, you can embroider something original or sew, for example, a bell or a piece of tinsel.
Dishes. Of course, buying a new set of dishes for the New Year's Eve will be costly, you can use your daily dishes, but decorate it with something interesting. For example, you can put a snowflake or a twig of pine needles on each plate bought in the store.
Glasses can be beautifully painted with white or gold thin lines, decorated with sequins, made a sugar edging or tied something on a leg.
As for decorating the table itself, then the options are endless. Candles, spruce branches, cones, small Christmas trees, grandfathers frosts, snowmen or other New Year's attributes. The main thing is not to admit a certain mistake and not put on the table, what you liked, do not overdo it with decorations, so that the table does not look very jaunty and loaded.
If you put all this beauty on the table, and there is almost no place for food, you can consider several options. For serving dishes, you can use a side table or transfer meals in a circle. By the way, the dishes themselves can also be decorated similarly to decorating plates.
Do not overdo the color scheme, limit to two or three colors and stick to the chosen theme.
