The main winter holiday is approaching. The aroma of spruce needles and tangerines is already in the air. To make the celebration bright and unforgettable, it is important to create a mood - to decorate the house for the New Year 2020 from the outside and from the inside, to fill every corner of it with a fabulous atmosphere.
Bright decoration of the house for the New Year
IN New Year adults and children should get a piece of magic and faith in a real miracle.
It is important to take a responsible approach to the New Year's decoration of the house, especially if children live in it. Installation and decoration of the Christmas tree
It doesn’t matter if it’s live or artificial, but in any case there should be a Christmas tree. The last option is even better. No need to encourage tree cutting, buy every year a new Christmas tree, carry out a serious cleaning when the needles begin to crumble.
What is the best way to decorate a Christmas tree. Balls are a classic. Bright, shiny and beautiful, they will look great.
If the decorations are large, do not use too many toys. There should be at least one empty branch between them so that there is no feeling of redundancy.
It would be a good idea to decorate the Christmas tree with toy cones. They look elegant and natural. Many people do not like this monotony. They believe that the Christmas tree should be as bright as possible.
In this case, the use of different toys is welcome: balls, cones, icicles, fairy-tale houses, souvenirs.
Children are delighted to see such diversity and beauty. You can also deviate from the canons by inventing your own style of decoration. For example, use ribbons, pendants, children's toys, bows, feathers. Such a Christmas tree is admirable, but there is a risk of overdoing it.
Do not forget that the Christmas tree should fit into the environment. To make it look stylish, you can turn to minimalism.
You can decorate a spruce only with balls, combine them in size and color. You can "play" with the surface - use matte and glossy balls.
You need to hang them so that there is enough free space between them. The Christmas tree and its green fragrant branches are beautiful in themselves.
Just do what you want. The house should look bright, beautiful and festive. There is no point in sticking to any patterns. You can make your own toys.

A few ideas for decorating windows in the house for the New Year:
Garlands in the interior
Can not imagine New Year's interior without LED lights. With them, the room begins to play with new colors in the evening and is transformed beyond recognition.
Many stores sell inexpensive LED strips. They are monophonic and multi-color, with different modes of switching the intensity of the diodes.
You can decorate with such garlands a Christmas tree, stair railings, window and door openings, mirrors and furniture.
By choosing the color of the diodes, you can create the necessary atmosphere in the interior. Whites, blues and blues look cold, while reds, yellows and oranges look warm and cheerful.
Fairy-tale composition in the interior of the house From a long garland, you can make a festive inscription on a free wall or depict a Christmas tree. Lights can be used to decorate the bottom of a spruce, a wreath on a wall, a headboard or a festive table, simply by placing a short ribbon in the center.
If it is possible to spend a few extra thousand on decorating your home, then you can buy several one-color ribbons to create a whole exposition of a Christmas tree, snow, gifts, etc.
The picture can be of any complexity. It all depends on the level of skill, imagination and financial capabilities.
Many prefer not to rack their brains, but simply fix (usually with tape) the tape on the wall, laying out an inscription, for example, “Happy New Year”, or “Goodbye 2019, hello 2020!” If the tape is not too long, you can simply lay out the four digits of the coming year.
Sparkling and shimmering in different colors, they will bring a special atmosphere to any home, reminding every second that the time of the New Year and miracles has come. Many people like to use a garland instead of the main lighting.
Decoration of living rooms
Decorating living rooms, whether it be a living room or bedrooms, is a very exciting and interesting thing that allows you to enjoy the holiday atmosphere. The main thing is not to overdo it.
Remember that all rooms should be decorated in the same style. Otherwise, you end up with a vinaigrette in which the styles are mixed up, and the house looks more like a warehouse of Christmas decorations.
hall decoration
A good solution would be to use delicious decorations. It can be oranges, tangerines or apples wrapped in foil. Candies in bright packages or glazed gingerbread will look great.
An unusual, but even more original decoration can be large transparent vases filled with tangerines, sweets and unbreakable Christmas decorations.
A simple technique that allows you to “tie” all the rooms into a single whole is to use the same decor in all rooms. For example, vases with fruits or sweets, spruce branches with bright balls or ribbons, garlands under the ceiling, wreaths on doors and walls between windows.
Original toys: snowmen, Santa Claus, bunnies or bear cubs in red hats, vintage lanterns or gift boxes - can appear in the most unexpected places:
- on the stairs,
- on the windowsills
- under the tree,
- on shelves and upholstered furniture.
During the New Year holidays, thematic paintings and panels can be hung on the walls in the rooms.
Decorate the walls with snowflakes, tinsel, garlands. You can make them yourself.
DIY garlands: master class
Making a garland with your own hands is easy. It is enough to hang paper snowflakes on a thread. Here are some tips for making them.
Abstract snowflakes, similar to circles of oranges or fancy flowers, are made from thick colored paper. You will also need a string and a glue stick.
The algorithm is the following:
- Two sheets are folded like an accordion.
- Harmonicas are connected by tying with a cord.
- The edges of the accordions are glued together to form a circle.
- A small paper circle is glued in the center on both sides.
The next option is voluminous snowflakes. They can be arranged in a garland or hung separately on walls or curtains.
One snowflake will take no more than 5 minutes. For her, you will need six squares of A4 sheets, scissors, transparent tape and a stapler.
The folded square is cut in three places and a snowflake beam is formed. The procedure is repeated with the rest of the squares.
The resulting parts are glued or fastened with a stapler, forming a three-dimensional figure.
You can also easily make an openwork paper snowflake.
To do this, two sheets are folded into an accordion and cut. Then the accordions are fastened with a cord in the center, and the edges of the snowflakes are glued together.
The holiday starts from the corridor
The entrance hall is the first room where guests come to celebrate the New Year with you. Therefore, despite the small area of the corridor, it is necessary to find a place in it for a festive decor.
The walls of the corridor can be decorated spruce branches, which will give a festive flavor, adding an indescribable aroma. Small Christmas decorations can bring a little comfort and festive mood.
Here it is better to focus on lighting. Add bright light bulbs, garlands, but do not clutter up the space. It will not be superfluous to decorate the mirror, use the space under the ceiling, if its height allows.
You can decorate a house for the New Year and Christmas holidays in completely different ways: someone resorts to traditional New Year and Christmas, someone uses unusual decorative elements to decorate windows, etc. The most important thing in this business is enthusiasm, anticipation of a mysterious and magical holiday and an atmosphere of comfort and warmth.
How to effectively decorate the front door for the new year
The front door creates a general impression of what the house might look like inside. This is a kind of portal to the New Year's pre-holiday atmosphere, so you need to decorate the front door in a bright, original and tasteful way.
You can create unusual compositions (some kind of garlands) using spruce branches. You can use both real and artificial ones, but it is better to opt for the second option: save the trees and create a luxurious decoration for the front door that has not changed for a long time.
It is very simple to make such a decorative element: we put the branches into a rather dense and wide garland and wrap them neatly with ordinary threads, then fasten them outside along the perimeter around the front door.
A New Year / Christmas wreath has long been a traditional attribute of the front door in the pre-New Year period. It can be done from absolutely various materials: fir cones, Christmas toys, tree branches, Christmas tinsel, sweets and much more.
Also, bright red bows (the symbol of the coming year is a big lover of everything catchy and bright), unusually decorated flowerpots, figurines of fairy-tale or New Year's characters (soldiers, Santa Claus, etc.) lanterns, etc. can become a wonderful decoration for the front entrance.
How to decorate the facade of the house with your own hands
Of course, a win-win- decoration of the facade of the house with festive bright garlands. A house "dressed" in such illumination will attract attention from several hundred meters away. The garland can be concentrated on the front door, railings, windows, roof, or you can create a huge composition around the entire facade of the house. In addition, now there are a considerable number of various luminous designs of animals and New Year's characters on sale, with which you can decorate, for example, the roof of a house, creating an unusual effect.
Of course, New Year's decor cannot be considered complete without window decoration (meaning glass decoration). There are a huge number of different templates on the Internet to create amazing New Year's drawings on glass. They can either be cut out of bright colored paper and glued to glass, or you can make a template to draw the outline of the picture.
Advice. There is a very simple and effective way to create stunning Christmas arrangements on window glass. To do this, you only need a template you like and toothpaste. It must be diluted in warm water to the consistency of thick sour cream and with a sponge, with light jerky movements, “drive” the pattern onto the glass.
We decorate the courtyard of the house with our own hands
There are a huge number of ideas on how to decorate the courtyard of your own house beautifully, spectacularly and tastefully. We will focus on the most popular and creative:
- tree illumination. In order to decorate the area near the house, you will need not ordinary, but special garlands for decorating street objects. Since the light illumination should be bright, we choose more garlands. We take a garland and wrap the crowns and branches of the trees of the home garden in the order you like. Try not to distribute the lights too asymmetrically so that you don't get the effect of sloppily decorated trees.
- Flowerpot decor. If you have flowerpots in your yard, even small ones, be sure to decorate them. Fir cones, walnuts, decorative branches, bows, garlands, acorns, etc. can be used as decorations.
- Decoration of the yard with Christmas toys. This is not about ordinary New Year's balls, but about huge ones. It's hard to find these for sale. But it doesn't matter. Let's make them ourselves. As a basis, you can use large balls-balls, which are sold in stationery stores, or foam balls. First of all, the balls need to be weighted: we fill the balls with small pebbles and then inflate them. Styrofoam balls can be “planted” on a metal base by piercing them with a flexible wire, which we then stick into the ground. We cut out beautiful snowfields and patterns from shiny multi-colored foil and stick them on the balls. It remains to make the tops: we use ordinary cardboard for these purposes, from which we form a kind of cylinder, shaped like a drum. We make two holes in them, into which we thread a thin wire (it will act as a suspension) and glue the cardboard forms onto the balls. Finished decorative elements can also be decorated with a bow, New Year's tinsel, etc.
New Year's illumination
- Using hanging pots. This is an unusual and very effective decorative element. You can buy either ready-made planters in the store, or make them yourself if you have willow branches or thick wire in a sheath at hand. You can decorate New Year's flower pots with decorative beads, a garland, small New Year's balls, paper stars, etc.
- snowmen. This is, as they say, a classic of the genre. So be sure to organize a mini snowman building adventure for your family. And you will gain positive emotions, and you will do the job. Be sure to decorate the Snowman's head with a traditional bucket, or get creative and replace the bucket with a hat and add a fashion accessory - a butterfly.
- Use of children's sled. Old children's sleds can become wonderful decoration for a courtyard next to the house, the most important thing is to correctly bring this idea to life. For example, you can place a sleigh near the path leading to the front entrance to the house, put an old lantern with a candle inside on top of it, and next to it put a bunch of spruce branches / brushwood, beautifully decorated with a decorative ribbon.
- ice decorations. These can be balls, cups, pots, etc. How to create this charm? - you ask. Very simple. To create ice balls, ordinary inflatable balls are used. Pour some water into them food coloring and add various decorative elements: spruce twigs, leaves, rowan berries, etc. We tie a ball. Then you need to cool its contents. This can be done using the freezer (if its size allows), or in the fresh air. After some time, cut the ball and take out the finished ice mold. Similarly, we create ice forms using ordinary glasses, flower pots, etc.
Advice. To get the frozen form out of the hard shell, dip it for a few seconds in a deep bowl of boiling water.
Our article is coming to an end. We looked at a number of original ideas that will help you create a unique festive atmosphere near your own home on New Year's Eve. We wish you creative inspiration!

Living Room Interior Design Ideas
Especially carefully you need to think about how to decorate the house for the New Year. The main decor is usually located in the living room. There are a lot of design ideas, but there is no universal solution, just as no two interiors are the same. To create a holiday in your home, you need to use fantasy. Below are some examples of creating New Year's decor with my own hands for decoration of various areas of the living room and hallway.
Let's start right at the front door. For its decoration in the European style, wreaths of spruce branches are used. With dark in green pine needles go well with golden balls, red ribbons or silvery cones. In a private house, a beautifully decorated wreath can be hung from the street.
It is very convenient to use garlands to decorate walls and stairs. They can be from LED bulbs, paper rings or snowflakes, large or small cones, miniature soft toys or knitted socks, sweets and oranges, etc.
In a festive interior, a composition of candles, fir branches and balls will look very appropriate. The color scheme of the composition should be selected taking into account the chosen general design style. Alternatively, you can use decorative candlesticks.
You can hang balls, angels, short rain, snowflakes or any other new Year decoration.
If there is a fireplace or an additional decoration zone is created. The mantelpiece can be overlaid with spruce branches and a garland with flickering light bulbs. You can make it with figurines of Santa Claus and a Snowman, create a “pillow” for laying out tangerines from needles, decorate it with a composition with candles or decorative gifts.
You can put a miniature Christmas tree made of cones on a bookshelf or coffee table: simple and original.
A snow-white and soft Christmas tree can be made from cotton pads. Which are glued to a paper cone.
From felt, you can sew cute figures that are suitable for making a garland, and as independent elements.
To decorate a room in an original way for the New Year with your own hands, you do not need to spend a lot of money. You can use any materials, but it is important to observe the measure and maintain color balance.
Decor for the New Year's table
Since the dining table on New Year's Eve will turn into the central area of \u200b\u200bcelebration, its design will need to be thought through as carefully as the festive menu. If the serving is planned in a bright color, then it is better to choose a light plain tablecloth. Conversely, with a discreet decor, a tablecloth with a gold pattern is suitable. It is important to maintain the style and color scheme.
On a large table, you can place a bright composition, and if there is not enough space, it is enough to confine yourself to a small decoration of candles.
Beautiful wine glasses or jars will help save space, in which you can place a spruce twig, rowan brush or bright beads. If you turn the glass over, you get a very interesting candlestick. A few of these wine glasses are sure to add a festive mood.
It is also worth considering serving accessories that are more interesting to make with your own hands. These can be cutlery bags, original napkins, napkin holders and more.
If you start preparing in advance, then there will be time for sewing original covers for high backs of chairs. As a chair decor, you can also use sewn toys suspended from the back, and large bows from a wide ribbon.
If there is a set of bright holiday dishes, then it does not need to be additionally decorated, but transparent glass goblets can be decorated with a ribbon to match the main color of the serving or do something more complicated.
Small crafts made from cones and pine twigs, or figures bought in a store will help diversify the meal. Just do not overdo it so that there is free space for a comfortable dinner.
Private house: decorate the porch, facade and courtyard
Having at your disposal a house with a garden, you can not fail to take the opportunity to create a real winter fairy tale. After midnight, guests will not refuse to go out into the fresh air to launch fireworks, so it is worth taking care of street decorations so as not to disappoint them.
The facade of the house is often decorated with LED garlands. You can simply hang them up or depict any figure (Christmas tree, snowman, star). If desired, garlands can decorate trees and shrubs in front of the house.
A small live spruce in a tub will look good on the porch. Ribbons, felt toys and fruits are suitable for decorating it.
You can also put the sled and "load" them with large gift boxes. If you lay out large pine branches around the sled, you get a realistic composition.
The door can be decorated with a wreath and spruce branches. The wreath is created from any material, it all depends on the imagination.
Recently, luminous animal silhouettes have become popular, which are easy to make with your own hands. First, a frame is made of steel wire or rods, then the frame is wrapped with a garland. A small flock of deer in the garden will delight both children and adults.
For the garden, you can make a large wooden star from dry shoots of medium thickness. In addition to simple garlands, this decor will make New Year's Eve magical.
How to please the owner of 2017 - the Fire Rooster

This year, more than ever, flickering lights and candles are relevant in the interior. Fill the room with light and sparkles. Of the colors, preference should be given to bright yellow, orange, carrot and red. The background can be green or white.

Christmas window decoration, ideas, templates
Ahead is a series of New Year holidays, for which we always prepare in advance.
And, if you follow Western fashion, there is still time to decorate the house, down to the window frames and glass.
We suggest using templates, thanks to which you can create a festive New Year's atmosphere.
They can be placed on the slopes or the glass itself, both outside - on the street, and inside - in the rooms of the dwelling.
- Fairy lights. Light bulbs of different sizes and different luminescence, which will perfectly fit into the night atmosphere. Home evenings with such lights will become not only festive, but also romantic;
- New Year's greetings. Arm yourself with a penknife, a special dense mat for work and, of course, patience. Cutting letters is not an easy job;
- Christmas decorations. They are not only round, but also flat from plain white paper. Cut blanks will look great fastened with a thread or suspended from a slope;
- Animals, nature. One of the popular themes for window shapes. An excellent addition to a large composition;
- Christmas tree. The main symbol of the New Year. If desired, it can be colored or printed on a color printer;
- Father Frost. The white old man is ideal for windows of any size. He is already waiting for the holiday and is ready to give gifts;
- Angels. Divine creatures are so beautiful that they seem to be about to fly off the window and rush to heaven;
- Paintings. The finished drawing does not need to be invented and made from different pieces of paper: castles, snowmen on a sleigh, Santa Claus and Christmas trees, Snow Maiden, snowflakes, angels, gifts, toys, garlands - fill clear glass and create a magical atmosphere of the upcoming holiday;
Similar stencils exist for applying paint. The drawing is printed on paper and the traced details are cut out using nail scissors or a construction knife. A can of white paint is sprayed on top. Why white? White color looks best on glass and harmonizes with window frames.
New Year 2020 on the street, decoration of facades for the new year
Following the example of European countries, Russians decorate their homes more and more beautifully every year. Since September, shops have been filled with stylish New Year decorations that will fit perfectly into the interior of the house, facade, street and even the garden plot. And everything that you have not found, but would like to use for facade decoration, you can always order on or any other suitable site.
The facade, first of all, is the walls of the house, and paintings and posters will be the simplest and at the same time suitable decoration for this. Draw them, cut them out, color them and attach them to the wall with a couple of screws. Drawings by themselves are not durable for street decoration. They are affected by precipitation and air humidity, but you still have a couple of weeks to please your eyes.
Spruce decorations, which everyone can make, will decorate not only the facade, but also the entrance. You will find ready-made compositions made of artificial material in every hardware store. Additionally, unbreakable Christmas decorations, decorative lanterns will look beautiful on the walls. And if your area is warm and there is no snow, then artificial snow is quite suitable for seasonal decoration.
Another New Year's addition is decorative sticks of artificial plants. Bright branches of mountain ash, viburnum, golden petals of plants, and simply beautiful leaves go well with spruce branches. They can be put on window sills or the top of the facade. Such a composition will look good under a protruding roof.
The most beautiful and bright, but at the same time very expensive, are luminous jewelry. The empty space of the walls can be filled with multi-colored garlands, luminous figures, diode strips of various widths. Any facade will be transformed and sparkle with new colors right at night. The reflection of such illumination will be visible to the whole street.

A homestead is an area that is looked after by the homeowner. It must be kept in order and clean, and, if desired, it can be decorated on the eve of the New Year holidays. There are no limits to your holiday fantasy. Decorations are appropriate on the fence, gate, backyard flowerbed, trees, in the gazebo, barbecue.
In many localities, competitions are provided where households compete for the best New Year's decorations and maintenance of the house territory. According to the results of the competition, commemorative prizes and signs “House of exemplary maintenance” are issued. To decorate the street, street garlands are provided, which have special insulation. Such garlands are much more expensive. Unlike ordinary garlands, they have an IP54 degree of protection and a durable rubber wire. When choosing such garlands, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of a module for sequential switching.
In household supermarkets or online stores, garlands of different lengths, widths, and lighting designs are sold. To decorate trees with a height of three meters, you must choose garlands of at least 10 m. for each meter of wood, approximately 3 meters of illumination are required. With more frequent winding of the branches, the length is doubled. The more lights on the tree, the brighter and more spectacular the trunk looks.
In addition to luminous ribbons on trees, you can add hanging balls made of wood, plastic, which are also equipped with diode lighting.
Some garden trees have grown in size so much that the owners cannot reach the top to simply lay out a few luminous wires. In this case, the garland will look great on the bare part of the trunk. Just wrap it around the barrel in height and connect it to power.
But not only luminous lights symbolize New Year's celebration. Wreaths, toys, figurines - all this will be in harmony with the festive atmosphere. Some homeowners like to celebrate New Year's Eve right on the street, they put up festive tables and a Christmas tree in the yard. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to put some beautiful gift boxes under the Christmas tree. You probably still have boxes from household appliances, shoes, children's toys. Wrap them up beautiful paper and tie a bow.
Place garden figures along the trees. The unconditional symbols of the new year are a snowman, Santa Claus, deer, Snow Maiden, and if you have a symbol of the year, then it's just great. Your yard will be with you waiting for the arrival of a new pet.
The most elegant, of course, in every yard should be a Christmas tree. On a tall or small forest beauty, you must definitely hang the symbol of the year. In addition to the "master of the year" add balls, bows, beads, plastic serpentine, fabric ribbons, in other words, whatever you like from jewelry. Don't forget the backlit garlands. It is desirable that all paraphernalia be unbreakable. Otherwise, the slightest breath of wind can knock down a Christmas tree toy and damage it.
How to decorate a house for the new year with your own hands, ideas with explanations and photos
Decorations for the New Year are sold in many supermarkets, and if you have a desire, you can make them yourself and save a decent amount. The house begins with the front door and that is what we will decorate first. In a private house, and even in an entrance with normal neighbors, the entrance can be issued from two sides. We will hang wreaths inside and outside the door. From spruce branches, snags, burlap, cones, lanterns or toys, as well as any other material that is suitable for such a composition. Shop options are sold mainly from artificial material.
The wreath is easily replaced by a wicker garland of spruce branches, which just symbolize the New Year. Also suitable would be a bouquet of pine, fastened with a ribbon and decorated with bells or, as in the photo below, a hanging lantern.
Entrance railings, stairs and the territory adjacent to them are also decorated as desired. Arm yourself with several figurines, flowerpots or pots. Arrange them near the entrance so that they do not interfere with the passage.
WITH reverse side door, which is already a home territory, wreaths and decorative garlands of toy sweets, mittens and Santa Claus stockings, hanging toys, cones, snowflakes are very popular. For those who have a good sense of humor, you can use comic stickers or collages in the theme of the upcoming holiday.
Cabinets, cabinets, chairs and tables, shelves - will look great in New Year's tinsel. Fluffy ribbons are easily tied into bows, and on the shelves they are easily fixed with transparent tape. Small pieces of adhesive tape will be reliable fixators throughout the holiday, they are not noticeable and harmless to the surface of the furniture.
Candlesticks can be placed on tables and cabinets, beautiful tablecloths, napkins can be laid, and fairy-tale characters can be placed on the tops of cabinets. Jewelry will look harmonious if they are combined with each other in style, theme, color. As for the colors, the New Year loves everything bright and shiny: a combination of colors of green, red, white, black, gold.
Glass cabinets, mirrors and windows can be decorated with carved snowflakes, figurines of New Year's heroes.
A chandelier and free space in the ceiling space will look pretty with hanging decorations made of ribbons and toys. Homemade paper toys, balls, beads, decorative ribbons, tree branches, dense colored threads are suitable as blanks.
Often the walls of a house or apartment are decorated with paintings. Print on the printer instead of them simple white pictures of flying snowflakes, a deer flying on a sleigh, or Santa Claus on a wagon with gifts. Attach it to a free place with tape or tailor's needles.
And, if you don’t have a Christmas tree or you simply have nowhere to put it, then make a Christmas tree on the wall from plain paper. There are a lot of advantages to such decoration: it does not take up space, creates a festive atmosphere, and is made from improvised materials.
You can also replace such a Christmas tree with more voluminous decorations, for example, build a tree from scraps of a plastic pipe of different diameters or form it from a luminous green garland.
To place gifts, hang on the fireplace, closet, wall, Santa Claus boots. They need to be placed according to the number of people living in the house. A gift is placed in each such boot. Wrap the rest of the gifts in beautiful glossy boxes, holiday packages.

But you can save money and make street Christmas decorations with your own hands - the cost of making them is most often minimal. The main thing is to connect fantasy and imagination. If there are no ideas, read the article in which we will tell and show several options for budget decor.
Classics of the genre
Wreaths are very common Christmas decorations. Street entrance doors will be transformed with the help of such decor and will be given right from the threshold. Very cheap cost beautiful
It was made obscenely simple - they took a wire hanger as a basis, bent it into a circle. Then plastic rings were glued to the cones and strung on a wire. They decorated it with a large bow and a bright wreath, shown in the photograph below, was made in a similar way.
Of course, its cost will be higher, but the manufacturing process is even simpler - after all, the balls already have a loop with which they can be strung on an unbent wire hanger.
New life for old things
Have you recently renovated? If you still have pieces of PVC pipes of different diameters, then do not throw them away - they will make beautiful New Year's decorations. Outdoor wreaths made of plastic will last more than one year without losing their aesthetic appearance. For their manufacture, it is necessary to cut pipes of different diameters into pieces of the same length and glue them together with strong glue. Then you need to drill holes in 2 side elements to thread a strong rope or chain to hang the decoration.
In order for it to completely stop giving out its ignoble origin, the wreath must be painted with golden paint and balls glued inside the pipes. But what if you liked this idea, but there are no materials? Use cardboard tubes as a base for toilet paper rolls or kitchen towels. Of course, such a wreath will last only one season, but it is easy to make without special tools.
natural materials
If there is a small forest near your house, then you can make street Christmas decorations with your own hands for almost nothing. From large cones, you can make not only a wreath, but also a long garland that will decorate the front door. Just fix them on the wire with glued plastic rings and add beautiful ribbons, light unbreakable balls, artificial berries.
An empty bucket can be turned into an original flowerpot. For a deliberately rough, rustic look, put long poles, sprigs of spruce and cones in it. For a more festive look, add toys, ribbon around the rim, and a garland to beautifully illuminate the contents of the bucket from the inside. And so that the composition is not "tied" to the outlet, you can use small candles with LED-light emitting diodes that are battery powered.
Comfort and warmth
The flame of candles in winter acquires a special beauty and charm. For example, you can make elegant and beautiful New Year's street decorations with them directly for New Year's Eve. Photos of possible options are presented below.
If you have a thuja or boxwood on your site, then you can break a few twigs, take glass glasses, put a thick candle in them and cover it with a layer of salt and red berries. Just before the chiming clock, light the candles: now you are ready to celebrate the New Year and set off fireworks.
You can also give new life to an empty jar. With help acrylic paints and artificial snow, it is quite easy to draw a snowy town, and a few small candles inside will fill it with a warm glow. It is convenient to rearrange such jars and create different compositions with them. If you make loops of wire around the necks of the cans, then they can be worn like a flashlight. Just remember that fake snow is flammable, so only spray it on the outside of the glass.
Magical atmosphere
Shining lights are perhaps the most spectacular Christmas decorations. Street garlands will instantly transform the look of the house from the outside and create an amazing atmosphere on New Year's Eve. A classic of the genre is to decorate the house with lights along the contour, but there are a few more original solutions.
With the help of several empty beer bottles, you can effectively decorate the path to the porch of the house - push part of the garland through the neck of the bottle, leave about a meter to sag and decorate the bottle again. So, the wire will not touch the ground and will not be damaged by moisture.
You can also make a so-called garage Christmas tree - on the garage door, make a tree outline from a long garland and glue a few light plastic balls with tape. A large red bow will decorate the composition and give it completeness.
If you have a live Christmas tree growing in your yard, wrap it generously with a garland.
Non-standard approach
You don't have to buy new things to make Christmas outdoor decorations for your home. As you can see, sometimes you can use seemingly unnecessary items and accessories. For example, from individual boards or pallets, you can make the original Christmas tree shown below.
She is not afraid of snow and rain. This tree will last more than one season. Another non-standard example of using old pieces of wood is snowmen. You don't have to be an artist to color them. In addition, from shreds of fabric you can make beautiful clothes for them.
Do-it-yourself Christmas street decorations made of cardboard cannot boast such durability as a pallet tree or a pipe wreath, but this does not mean that you can forget about them. Large boxes can be wrapped with beautiful foil paper and decorated with bows made of cardboard. With such protection, the cardboard will not get wet during the holidays. Old tires also took pride of place in street decor. But in the form of huge balls, you probably have not met them yet.
