- We put a pencil or felt-tip pen inside each sector, bend the edges inward and fix it with glue.
- Let the workpiece dry completely. For one paper decor you will need 4 blanks.
- We take the workpiece and attach another one to it (with the inner part). We also connect the two remaining blanks together.
- Then, using a thick needle, we make a hole in the middle of the blanks and thread a thin fishing line with beads.

Instructions on how to make a simple decoration for the New Year 2017 from scrap materials
- First you need to decide on a color palette to decorate the garland. It is best to take traditional New Year and Christmas colors. Since the coming 2017 will pass under the sign of the Fire Rooster, it is advisable to use bright shades, for example, red or orange.
- Having decided on the color, we move on to the design. To do this, we cut narrow strips of fabric 6-7 cm long. The number of strips depends on the length of the garland. Prepare enough blanks so that for every 2 light bulbs there is 1 fabric strip.
- Take the strip and tie it in a knot between the two light bulbs. We alternate different colors if we use several shades.
- We use all the blanks, filling the garland along its entire length with fabric “bows”. Ready!

Compositions of pine branches, candles, and cones will complement the table setting. You can put small surprises and gifts near the devices for your family and friends.
You can use citrus fruits as candlesticks: lemons, oranges, tangerines.
The kitchen where New Year's treats will be prepared also deserves attention: gingerbread houses, arrangements of tangerines and apples, bright poinsettia flowers.
Oriental aromas will fill the kitchen if holiday candlesticks are made from cinnamon sticks.
The front door is where the home New Year’s fairy tale begins: traditional Christmas wreaths, twinkling garlands, animal figurines.
Decorating windows and window sills has become fashionable again - movable modules, cut out figures, paint designs.
Involve your children, spouses, and grandparents in creativity. Creating New Year's compositions is a labor-intensive task; extra hands won't hurt. Joint creativity will not only bring joy to everyone, but will also unite the family and give all household members the opportunity to be together.

The cuttings are not difficult to make, the technique is quite simple. The result exceeds all expectations - frosty patterns bloom on the window glass, cartoon characters and fairy tales appear.
You can make modules from cut out figures. Volumetric snowflakes, lanterns, Christmas tree decorations made of paper sway and turn at the slightest movement of air. You can cut out an entire city or a snow-covered forest from thick paper. The backlight “revitalizes” the composition. I want to look through the windows or under the Christmas tree and see who lives there. And come up with a magical New Year's tale.
Lamps, lamps, floor lamps can become magical and change their appearance. You can cut out any pattern and plot from paper. You can turn the most ordinary glass jar into a lamp.

You can turn any New Year’s picture you like into a cutting template yourself. To do this, you need to enlarge the picture using any graphic editor and transfer it to a worksheet using carbon paper. Utility knives work well for cutting. To avoid cutting the table, use special mats.
The advantages of cuttings are the availability of materials and the simplicity of the technique itself. To complete complex compositions you will need patience and perseverance.
New Year's garlands
Garlands for home decoration are the most popular option. Store-bought and home-made, electric and made from natural materials. Paper, fabric, tinsel and glass toys, traditional and original - the choice is huge.

The usual interior becomes mysterious, mysterious when garlands are lit in houses. The most ordinary things become magical. The lights, reflected in the old mirror, beckon you into a New Year's fairy tale.
The most ordinary garland can be made original. A little imagination, glass Christmas balls - and your window decoration is ready.
LED garlands go well with garlands made of paper or fabric. Made with your own hands, they fill the house with warmth and love. Ordinary paper snowflakes strung on a string turn a room into a winter home for a Blizzard or Blizzard.
Multi-colored Christmas trees, gold stars, white circles, snowmen, penguins, mittens, socks - any New Year's figures are suitable for a garland.
Garlands made of fabric or felt are simple, but so warm and homely.

Door of a house or apartment: entrance to a fairy tale
Just by looking at the decorated front door and porch of a country house, you get the feeling that the holiday is already close. Therefore, it is quite justified to first decorate the front door, hallway, terrace, veranda or porch, in other words, the entrance to the house.
As you can see, it’s nothing complicated: other containers, fir branches, cones and balls will do their job:
You can make such a simple but effective composition (it’s better to buy decorative apples):
If there are logs in the yard of your house or dacha, then give them the opportunity to participate in the New Year’s decor :)
All these ideas can be implemented for residents of city apartments.
Decorate the hallway, not the entrance group
If there is not enough space in the hallway for such large compositions, then you can always make them more miniature. Or decorate the windows! When you return home, be filled with a festive mood, looking at the cozy windows :)
Catch the idea! Miniature logs can also be placed on the windowsill
To the branches you can add fir cones, mounted on skewers for barbecue, as well as branches with red berries (viburnum, rose hips, elderberry, wild apple):
Very soon, decorative twigs with red berries will appear on sale, which are ideal for composing:

Festive tableware and textiles for the kitchen
The kitchen is the place where the whole family spends most of the pre-holiday and holiday days. If you have dishes with New Year's decor, then slowly begin to take them out of the cabinets and place them on open shelves:
Buying a New Year's service is not a cheap pleasure, but it does not have to be done at once. Most stores sell dishes from the same series PER PIECES. Build your collection gradually.
By the way, the dishes can be quite everyday, but if you add just a few themed plates or mugs, the mood will immediately change to exciting and playful:
And even if you prefer dishes of neutral colors (not red), they may well become part of the New Year’s decoration - put New Year’s figurines, a Christmas tree, and festive textiles on the shelves:

Bed linen, pajamas and pillows, pillows, pillows...
Have you ever thought that you can literally immerse yourself in the holiday atmosphere with the help of bed linen? I didn't think about it either...
... but now, imagining how children would enjoy bed linen with snowmen, Christmas trees and snowflakes, I seriously thought that I should buy one)
New Year's home textiles, of course, are also available for adults:
If buying several new sets of underwear at once was not part of your plans, then you can start small - buy only one. If you like this idea, then by next year you will plan in advance to buy the missing kits.
And don't forget your pajamas! Or buy only pajamas - it will be cheaper, but no less atmospheric!
Blankets are also an alternative to bed linen. If you have not yet acquired your own, but have been wanting to do so for a long time, then start with one or two this year and continue in subsequent years.
Traditional New Year's colors: red, white, green.
Prints: all kinds of checkered patterns, New Year's ornaments.
Fabrics: cotton, linen, faux fur, knitted fabric
You can make your home blanket more festive using braid with balls if you sew it around the perimeter of the blanket. A wonderful idea, you must agree!)
Oh, what! New Year's compositions with candles
The cuts can be not only round, but also oval. In addition to them, a straight board or even driftwood is suitable as a base:

Easy to create channel garland Ideas for creativity:
Collect a collection of bullfinches and waxwings. Just imagine what a magical atmosphere your home will be filled with during the long winter!

Christmas wreaths, easy to make
It is impossible to imagine foreign homes without an abundance of Christmas wreaths. Of course, we would also like to decorate the front door with a wreath, but it’s a pity to give wasted money or time and our efforts to those who like to take what is “badly” lying around. Therefore it is safer.
Among the simple options that do not require special materials and skills, there are these:
Simple wreath with paper star decoration
Wreath as a base for a mobile and a miniature wreath pendant
Tatiana Abramenkova shows how to make a wreath from the same flat piece of wood as in the photo above (you can also use thick cardboard):
Embroidery hoop - why not the basis for a Christmas wreath!?)
After seeing this photo, you will look at skis from a different angle :)
Christmas stockings and how to hang them
Not everyone is ready to hang Christmas stockings around the house yet. Having seen enough beautiful pictures from foreign sites, many people think that socks definitely need a real fireplace. But this is not true at all. Just look at how many ways you can hang them!
Hang your socks on a hanger in the hallway, or on the stairs, or next to it:
If you want to hang it by the fireplace (but there isn’t one), then make an improvised one:
Absolutely any hanger with hooks, a strong rope or just a thick branch will be suitable for socks:
It is not necessary to embroider socks, and then also sew them (not everyone likes or knows how to do this). You can knit socks and even buy regular ones, but with New Year’s prints.
Great idea with photos!
Another way to use skis in a non-standard way)
Socks can be any shape, size and color
You can knit not only socks, but also mittens!
Socks hung on a rope
Socks on a branch - minimalism in its purest form
A real “discovery” for me was the homemade decorative fences on which resourceful needlewomen hang knitted or sewn socks:
MASTER CLASS ON THE TOPIC
But if you want embroidered socks, then a master class will help you
A decorative pole or holder for New Year's stockings is an incredibly cool thing!
The holder blank can be ordered from a carpentry workshop:
And if you don’t want to bother with all sorts of hangings, then knit/sew a giant sock for gifts and hide it under the Christmas tree:
Wow! Creative Christmas trees
What creative people can’t come up with (I consider it my duty to show you these finds)! Maybe among the readers of Krestik there will be those who want to place the same creative Christmas tree in their home?)
