Which year you take out a box of boring ones from the closet Christmas decorations? But in vain, there are many other ways to make a Christmas tree smart and save on Christmas tree decorations. Before you 10 original ideas.

1. Rosewood
Down with bumps! Flowers on the Christmas tree - one of the main New Year's trends. You can decorate the Christmas tree with live roses and even make whole flower garlands following the example of the Indians. But they are unlikely to last through the entire Christmas break. Therefore, we recommend buying decorative flowers made of fabric, hairpins-crabs - also a ready-made toy for the Christmas tree. If desired, it is easy to make them with your own hands: from beads, thread or paper. Place them directly on the branches or make special cones-bouquets of paper and satin.

2. Japanese style
This tree is the reign of origami. All toys and decorations are made of paper. Multi-colored cranes can be folded even by a child, as well as the simplest fans (one of them adorns the top of the Christmas tree). Garland - decorative umbrellas for cocktails strung on a thread. Or you can make a simple chain of bright paper rings. The main color is, of course, red. Just keep candles away from such a tree.

3. We walk in black
Black needles look not only shockingly original, but also truly festive, and most importantly, fashionable! The main thing is to arrange (more precisely, hang out) the right accents: red garlands of dry amaranth and black sparkling plastic balls. Such a spruce will look most spectacular in a black flowerpot.

4. Harvest Festival
Ideal for a country house. We collect a Christmas tree outfit from the gifts of the garden and the garden: instead of toys, we hang potatoes, onions, apples, nuts, etc. on ribbons. From red capsicum you will get a bright garland. In small frames, you can put photos of the main country achievements of the year - the largest pumpkin or zucchini grown on your site. Seed bags and pictures from agricultural magazines are also suitable. Christmas tree - the honors board is ready!

5. Christmas tree in the nursery
Of course, the fluffy beauty delivers the most joy to children. But how to explain to a kid that spruce does not grow in a bucket and it is dangerous to grab it by the branches? And he, having forgotten that a minute ago he pricked himself on the needles, again pulls the handle to the shiny balls ... Therefore, such a fenced Christmas tree cannot but please parents. After all, the sides of the arena reliably protect both the tree and the garland switches hidden under it from children's encroachments. And you can decorate it accordingly - with toys and even baby things (why not?).

6. Containers-bars, stationery
Multi-colored markers and stickers, glue sticks, folders for papers... Almost all stationery, without exception, is suitable for decorating an office Christmas tree. The main thing is a non-trivial approach to the process and, of course, teamwork. There is no better Christmas tree stand than the “leg” of an office chair. Thanks to the wheels, the design will turn out not only very stable, but also mobile. In the absence of a live or artificial tree, you can put the Christmas tree on the wall using colorful stickers.

7. Wool tree
AT New Year's decor natural materials should prevail. Therefore, a Christmas tree in woolen pompoms will be what you need this year. This idea is for real needlewomen who crochet: after all, it will not be difficult for them to knit unbreakable balls, beads, garlands and other toys and decorations. By the way, for gift wrapping this year you can also use woolen threads- just wrap them around the boxes several times.

8. Application lesson
It's so nice to prepare for the New Year's holiday with the whole family - and this tree will provide you and your child with a real springboard for creativity. We offer to decorate it with the simplest paper toys. All you need is to cut and glue - circles, squares and stars. To do holiday garland, glue circles around a strong thread. By the way, do you remember how paper lanterns?..

9. Snow Queen
The easiest and fastest option for hastily from the category "How to make a holiday out of nothing." We take a package of cotton balls and string them on a thread. The result is a snowy spruce at room temperature. In addition to cotton wool, you can take white woolen threads and wrap them around the Christmas tree in a spiral. There are various sprays that will allow you to cover the green branches with artificial frost.

10 Gingerbread Tree
For decorating an “edible” Christmas tree, both ready-made cookies and gingerbread cookies (choose curly ones with holes so that there is where to thread the ribbon) and baked according to homemade recipes are suitable. Be sure to add ginger, cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon to the dough. The only disadvantage of such a Christmas tree decoration is its exceptional appetizing. It will be very difficult to resist the temptation and keep this fragrant beauty in its original form until the chiming clock ...

The ceremony of dressing up the Christmas tree is a very important astrological ceremony. By hanging balloons and garlands, we create a model of the cosmic universe with its planets and comets. With the help of the ceremony of decorating the Christmas tree, you can attract a lot of good things into your life, achieve the fulfillment of your cherished desires. After all, each of us, creating "his own sky", i.e. decorating the Christmas tree, hoping that New Year will bring him happiness.

If you want to increase the growth of your material well-being, "call" money into your life, then when decorating a Christmas tree, use coins among decorations, as well as cookies, sweets, marmalade and other sweets. For example, apples tied to spruce branches are considered a symbol of fertility. To tear off a candy from a New Year's tree and eat it means to live the whole year in abundance, this is an old sign.

If the issue of health is relevant for you, then stock up to decorate the spruce with silver and white garlands, bows, balls and bells. White color- the color of purity, it helps to neutralize diseases.

For lonely people, the Christmas tree helps to find their other half. If you want good luck in your personal life, if you want to attract love into your life, decorate the Christmas tree with red balls and hearts painted with eggs - a symbol of harmony in love.

If you dream of having a child in the family, hang small children's toys on the green sorceress and decorate the Christmas tree with bows - pink or blue - at your discretion. And do not forget about the nuts in a golden wrapper, symbolizing the secret of divine providence.

Good afternoon friends!

Every time we start decorating a Christmas tree, this question always torments us, where to hang something to make it look interesting, well, there’s not enough imagination, so you spin around and hang around endlessly. It's good that now with the Internet you can turn to the advice of designers, which I did.

There is still time to think about how you can decorate the Christmas tree and see photos of beautifully decorated Christmas trees and new ideas.

We will consider not only the classic rules for decorating a Christmas tree, but also how to decorate a Christmas tree in an original, stylish and modern way, what colors to use in 2020.

How to beautifully decorate a Christmas tree for the new year with your own hands

When buying a Christmas tree, give preference to pine over spruce, as pine is more magnificent, and this is an important factor in a smart holiday tree.

In addition, ask the seller for a certificate, the tree must be safe for health. This is especially true of artificial Christmas trees and the material from which they are made.

Of course, someone likes the tree to smell like pine needles and prefers only the living one, and many buy artificial Christmas tree reusable and every year then you do not have to worry about acquiring it.

Now on sale are such lush beauties of any color and size. I have a Christmas tree with silver branches, I love it very much.

It is better to install a Christmas tree somewhere in the corner so that it does not interfere with anyone.

All decoration rules are the same for both live and artificial Christmas trees.

Let the live Christmas tree stand at home in the warmth for 2 hours, let it get used to and warm up, and then you can start decorating.

How to decorate a Christmas tree with a garland

First of all, you need to hang a garland on the Christmas tree, so that later it would be easier to determine where to hang Christmas decorations.

When buying a garland, like toys, you also need to check for a certificate. But here we also recall the rule: “trust, but verify!”. The garland must be checked not only for work, so that all the lights come on, the modes switch.

Please note: if the bulbs heat up, such a garland cannot be used, it can be flammable!

The garland should be chosen with lights that are in harmony with the colors of the toys. Therefore, first we decide on the toys, with the composition that we will create on the Christmas tree, and then we already get the necessary garland.

When decorating a Christmas tree with mostly red or gold balls, a garland in warm colors, for example, with yellow bulbs, is suitable. For a white Christmas tree with blue balls, it is better to choose a garland with cold white lights.

The color of the garland cord also matters, it must be in the tone of the tree, otherwise it will be difficult to disguise it later.

The more lights, the more spectacular the tree will look. So, you may have to hang more than one garland.

We hang the garland from top to bottom around the Christmas tree in horizontal circles and / or in a spiral.

How to beautifully decorate a Christmas tree with toys

We hung the garland, now it's the turn of Christmas decorations.

It is more customary for us to decorate the Christmas tree with colorful toys. different types from the accumulated stocks, especially if the old ones, from the Soviet times, have been preserved.

I tried to figure out how best to use toys in the year of the dog, and I saw conflicting opinions: some say that this year we need restraint in jewelry and prefer small toys, some, on the contrary, their abundance. I don’t know how it’s right, but I think it’s so that you yourself like it and everything is harmonious.

There are some rules here as well.

1. Selection of colors and themes of toys

Especially the Christmas tree will look spectacular if you pick up toys in one color scheme or in the same subject.

For example, decorate the Christmas tree in red, or blue, or purple balls.

You can also mix colors, but all toys must be combined in color. Attach a couple of toys to the Christmas tree and see if you like it.

If you give priority to decorating the Christmas tree to color, then it doesn’t matter what theme the toys will be. It can be balls, and icicles, cones, animals and others.

If you use multi-colored toys, it will be interesting to pick them up in the same style - only balls, or only, or old toys from your grandmother's chest.

And it is especially fashionable, of course, now to make New Year's decorations with your own hands, for example, or to make symbols of the years, by 2020 we have a collection of ideas with patterns and master classes.

2.Size matters

The size of balls and other Christmas decorations depends on the size of the Christmas tree. On a large Christmas tree, large and medium balls will look, on a small one, small ones are more effective.

3. How to hang toys on a Christmas tree

We begin to hang the toys from the bottom, where we place the largest ones, and to the top - the smaller toys. This will help keep the tree's natural shape and splendor.

Toys can be hung in a chaotic manner, and preferably in tiers, repeating the direction of the garland: in a circle or spiral.

If the tree is set in the center of the room, then the toys should be hung evenly around the tree. If the Christmas tree is in the corner, then the most interesting and bright toys must be hung in a conspicuous place, and with reverse side- not very spectacular and repetitive decorations.

Toys of the same color and shape (if different multi-colored toys are used in decoration) are hung away from each other, so the tree will look harmonious.

To highlight some nondescript toy, you can come up with additional bright decorations: beads, bows, hanging them nearby.

For example, hang a red bow next to a white toy, the toy will sparkle more brightly and turn out to be especially festive.

4. Additional decorations

At the end, we put on the crown, scatter a little multi-colored or silvery rain.

What colors to use to decorate the Christmas tree in 2020

All the beauty in decorating a Christmas tree is created not by an abundance of toys, but by color.

You can decorate the Christmas tree in any color scheme, there are no specific rules. But, I repeat, it is desirable that the toys are combined in color.

The following colors are perfectly combined: white and red, purple and gold, gold and brown, orange and red.

A green Christmas tree with white and gold decorations creates coziness and solemnity in any home.

The white tree itself is already an ornament. No need to hang it with a lot of toys. Against the background of a white Christmas tree, a combination of blue and silver balls will look better. With them, the Christmas tree seems to be crystal, delicate and charming. You can also decorate a white Christmas tree in soft pink color very beautifully.

We add red to the white and gold color - we get an even more solemn Christmas tree, such an elegant Christmas tree creates a more energetic, joyful and warm mood.

Red and gold are a classic combination for decorating a Christmas tree.

These subtleties are always relevant and it is not necessary to select decorations by color for each new year.

But if there is such a desire and opportunities, let's see in what colors it is proposed to decorate the Christmas tree in 2020.

So, in the year of the golden metal rat, it is better to use yellow, sand, brown, gold, and also grey colour. They will contrast wonderfully on green branches, and such outfits are gorgeous on a white Christmas tree.

It is better not to use blue and green colors this year, as the rat does not like them.

How to decorate a Christmas tree for the new year in an original and stylish way

A Christmas tree decorated with balls of the same tone, hung in tiers in a spiral, or in flowers that smoothly turn into one another from tier to tier, will look very stylish.

And now, instead of rain, it is fashionable to decorate a Christmas tree with ribbons, large flowers, home-made tinsel, which can be made from nuts wrapped in foil.

By the way, on the Christmas tree of 2019 there will be figurines of piglets.

You can make a themed Christmas tree by hanging decorations in the form of musical instruments or fairy-tale characters. Or make a fruit and vegetable tree, where toys - corn, carrots and lemons - will come in handy.

Moreover, you can decorate the Christmas tree with edible products: bananas, tangerines, drying, gingerbread, nuts, apples and sweets, hanging them on strings.

You can tie apples with a beautiful braid, and cut tangerines into rings and dry, and then tie ropes, or make cuts in a whole tangerine into which to insert a braid.

How else to decorate a Christmas tree in an original way? For example, in retro style postcards, antique toys, beads and bells. Or in a modern way, using CDs. In the light of a flickering garland, the discs will shimmer with bright colors.

If you want the new year to bring you a lot of money, attach more banknotes to the branches of the Christmas tree. After all, money attracts money!

How to decorate under the Christmas tree at home

But that's not all! The final beautiful festive image will turn out only after decorating the place under the Christmas tree.
Under the tree, you need to create a fairy tale using any homemade toys that you have, a little bit of New Year's branches.

Spruce came last and for a long time did not dare to approach the baby, being afraid to prick him. She had nothing to bring as a gift, except for sticky resin and hard cones. Then the trees and plants shared their gifts with the timid spruce, and it shone with bright balls, rang bells and approached Jesus. The baby smiled, and the spruce shone over the top of the head star of bethlehem. That is why, according to this legend, it is the Christmas tree that is decorated for the New Year.
