We offer you some simple tips on how to make the New Year's holiday even more magical and memorable for your children:

1. It is important that New Year's gifts are not just beautiful, but intricately and magically packaged so that they beckon the child with their wonderful and mysterious sparkle, their fabulous secret.

Show your imagination, even if there are several layers of packaging, you can come up with a game according to which the baby unfolds each next wrapper, solving a simple riddle, for example. But even without any games, unwrapping bright, colorful, iridescent packaging will give the child a real pleasure.

2. In order to create a festive mood for the child in advance in anticipation of the New Year, you can craft, write, draw New Year's greetings, gifts, toys for the Christmas tree and even a family wall newspaper with him.

Older children can be asked to prepare a performance or a congratulation for a family celebration, or just any holiday surprise they want.

3. Give New Year's gifts to children in the most unusual ways:

1) For example, for young children who are already familiar with some animals, it is these birds and four-legged friends who can “bring” gifts in exchange for treats. For example, nuts or seeds sprinkled on the balcony will disappear, and sweets supposedly brought by squirrels will appear instead. Or mice for a piece of cheese left under the door will bring the baby a toy. And you can exchange the treats left for the animals for gifts on New Year's Eve.

2) Great will be the joy of a child who finds a wonderful gift from Winter itself on a balcony or in a snowdrift during a walk!

In order to prepare such a surprise, you need a small gift that is not afraid of cold and moisture. Pack it in an airtight metal or plastic box, wrap it in festive packaging and freeze it in a saucepan of water - on the balcony or in the freezer of the refrigerator. There, in the water, you can add spruce twigs, cones or needles, or tinsel.

With these gifts, you can put a transparent block of ice on the balcony or hide it in a snowdrift, turning the search for a magical gift for a child into an exciting game.

3) During a walk in the hood, the baby can be thrown small gifts (possibly edible) even by the invisible elves of Santa Claus - for good behavior and a great New Year's mood. Of course, before the walk, you should tell the child the appropriate fairy tale, and put gifts in the hood unnoticed and then wonder how they got there.

4) If your child has already grown up a little, and you want to give him some money, you can arrange for him the classic "miracle field" from the fairy tale about Pinocchio. Let him bury a coin in a pot of earth on the eve of the New Year, and the next morning, together with the coins, he will find a tree branch “grown” in the ground with money-leaves attached to it.

4. If you want Santa Claus or Santa Claus to come to your baby, it is not at all necessary to invite an actor or dress up dad in a beard and fur coat. Real magic is elusive, and traces of what came to the child will delight and intrigue the baby no less than a real figure.

Therefore, a late doorbell (ask friends or neighbors), snow footprints at the doorstep and a gift tied to the door will be a good surprise for a child who ran to open the door to Santa Claus.

A beautiful congratulatory inscription or a drawing from Santa Claus on the frosted outside of the window on the morning of the new year, along with gifts left on the balcony or window sill outside (decorated with toys or a spruce branch), will have no less effect on the child.

We parents are long past the age when we believe in fairy tales and wait for magic. Somewhere, even with regret, we recall that carefree time, when on New Year's Eve everything became mysterious, and Santa Claus's light tread was heard outside the door. And how much joy and happiness we had, from early morning running to look under the Christmas tree! Yes, of course, there, as expected, were the long-awaited gifts. There was no doubt: Santa Claus came.

Now we can watch with tenderness the behavior of our children. We look at them, smile furtively when they listen to the steps outside the window and wonder how Santa Claus manages to get into the house: through the window or through the chimney? And how does he know all the children, without forgetting about anyone on this amazing night? We feel great satisfaction when kids jump for joy when they see bright boxes with gifts, and maybe this is our adult fairy tale - to make the New Year magical for our loved ones.

preparations

A significant component of the New Year's mood is preparation for the holiday. Remember your feelings when, as a child, you went to a store where Christmas balls, garlands and tinsel were laid out on the shelves. From the sight of these decorations, the soul became warm and pleasant, because we understood that the long-awaited holiday was approaching, and everyone around was preparing for it.

Start preparing for the New Year now. Around sell a lot of all kinds of decorations for the holiday, they will certainly come in handy for you. Do not be sad if you do not have money for expensive things, because a lot can be done with your own hands. This will add even more pleasant pre-New Year fuss to your family. Children are happy to make New Year's crafts from colored paper and cardboard. In the store you can buy special "semi-finished products" - books made of paper and cardboard with wonderful Christmas tree decorations drawn in them, which need to be cut and glued. A little imagination - and a world without borders will open before you, every day you can make something new and interesting from eggshells, yogurt jars, salt dough and many other materials at hand.

Tell your child in advance about what awaits him in the New Year, help him learn the rhyme, even if he does not go to kindergarten. Invite the kid to think about what gifts he can give to each family member, perhaps these are drawings or crafts that need to be made in advance. The involvement of the child in preparations for the holiday will help him feel the approach of a fairy tale.

Decorate the room

The first thing we do a few days (and some weeks) before the holiday is the New Year's decoration of our home. The Europeans are ahead of us in many ways and we have a lot to learn from them. Look in magazines, on the Internet, ask yourself the right mood: what to buy, where and what to hang.

To see the contrast, you can remove all the souvenirs, photo frames and other things that have decorated your room all year, and put New Year's candles in their place, hang wreaths, hang tinsel and garlands. You can make wreaths yourself from willow branches, multi-colored sequins, bright rags and everything that you don’t mind putting on improvised material. If you have pictures from previous New Year's celebrations, you can leave the photo frames intact, just replace the photos in them with New Year's ones.

Try to have your room decorated differently this year than last year. Let there be no familiar and boring details that you hang in the same places from year to year. Dress up indoor flowers, make a small Christmas tree from bay leaves, green fluffy tinsel or other unusual materials. It doesn’t matter that you already have a large fir tree with lights and a star on top in the hall, small Christmas trees on the windows in flower pots can make your interior stylish and unusual.

Spray cans with silver and gold paint will be a godsend for those looking for new ideas in home decoration. After all, if you hang several Christmas balls with red bows on an ordinary branch, painted in silver, you get a very modern decoration. If you are a supporter of the classics, the same can be done with a spruce branch: powdered with gold from a can, it will look very impressive anywhere in your home.

In addition to the visible details of the festive decoration of the dwelling, there are also invisible ones that you need to pay attention to, because. they play a huge role in creating mood. These are smells. The right scent for New Year's Eve will help make the atmosphere in the house festive. To find what you like, look for air fresheners, scented candles and oils for lamps, and other items designed to add fragrance to a room. There are special New Year's scales: needles, cinnamon, tangerine.

Outfits for New Year's Eve

What is a fairy tale without clothes? Make getting ready for New Year's Eve a part of a great time. Let crowns, masks, wings, sparkling with multi-colored highlights, create a pre-holiday spirit in your home. Children are very fond of trying on their costumes, running around in them, spinning in front of the mirror and imagining how they will come to the holiday, where everyone will admire them.

Just a few small details will help to make an original outfit for your baby. Do not be too lazy to embroider the girl's usual dress with shiny tinsel, and the boy's shorts and shirt with sequins in the form of snowflakes. Make the children feel that not just another holiday is approaching, in which you need to dress neatly, but a fairy tale is coming that wants to make the kids a part of it.

Princesses and Snowflakes, Bunnies and Pirates, Butterflies and Malvinas, Cats and Clowns - all these are the heroes of the upcoming performance. Tell the children how they should behave according to their role. Princesses are well-mannered and neat, Bunnies are quiet and kind, Butterflies are graceful and smiling, Pirates are courageous and strong. Come up with a suitable character for the image of your child, remind him periodically before the holiday, say that the baby should now learn to behave the way his hero will behave in the New Year. This can be a great incentive to develop good habits in a child.

Program

Don't expect New Year's Eve to be great if you don't prepare for it. In order for the holiday to be a success and to be remembered for a long time, you need to work hard.
Plan your evening. Write down all the important moments that you think should be on the holiday. Think about when and what is best to do. For example, the performance of children is best put before 12 at night, while the kids have strength and enthusiasm. More adult games are best taken as late as possible, when, perhaps, the children will already be sleeping.

Find some original numbers, games or pranks that haven't been played in your family yet. To get a thrill, there should always be something fresh in your program.

If guests come to you, give them the task of preparing a game or performance. Stock up on little surprises to reward kids for rhymes, songs, and dances.

Think about whether Santa Claus will come to you and at what time. It can be a disguised neighbor, and even dad. Children in a storm of emotions will not notice the temporary disappearance of the head of the family. Poems and songs can be shown to Santa Claus and he can give prizes. Make the penetration of the magical grandfather into your house mysterious (light tapping, quiet ringing of a bell, rustling in the hallway, etc.). If Santa Claus gives gifts to the kids, this can be the logical end of the evening for the children: the performance is over, they saw Santa Claus, they received gifts - you can sleep.

Those who live in a private house can, secretly from children, fabulously dress up some part of their yard. Come up with your own New Year's story, build a magical wagon, put a plush hare with a big shiny bow in it, act out a scene, let the hare (in your voice or the voice of a hidden participant) tell the children about some secret, maybe tell that the Squirrel Queen wanted to take one of the gifts from the children, and hid it in the yard. Let the kids look for him, and the hare will tell you where he can be.

Include neighbors or friends who have children in your submission. Adults can help you arrange everything and, as if by chance, they will come along with their children on a festive night to visit you. Children will be impressed by what is happening and will remember this New Year for a long time.

Surprises

We all love pleasant surprises, and the more unexpected they are, the more delighted we perceive them. Think about what you can do for your family, as well as for visiting guests. Perhaps our tips will give you an idea and help you find an idea.

words of recognition. They can be written down on a piece of paper, and then read at the right moment. You can confess to anyone and anything, as long as your words come from the heart and are harmonious for the addressee. Make up short speeches dedicated to each person who came to the evening. For example, voice everyone's strengths and praise them for them.
Congratulations notes. Prepare small sheets of congratulations in advance, you can name them, and discreetly place them on the participants of the holiday. They can be in the most unexpected places: in a pie, in a pocket, on a plate.

If you have prepared gifts for everyone present, do not rush to give them: do it in an unusual way. If you put gifts under the Christmas tree for children, quietly do it for adults as well. If Santa Claus should bring gifts to children, let him unexpectedly bring gifts to adults.

Dress up with your children in costumes and go to the neighborhood kids with congratulations and gifts. Introduce yourself as the heroes of a fairy tale, act out the performance. The participation of your children in such a congratulation will also be part of a wonderful holiday and will bring a lot of pleasure, your children will be pleased to see surprise and admiration on the faces of the neighboring kids.

Music and video

Make a special musical selection of adult and children's New Year's songs and just music. Turn them on every day before the holiday. Winter audio fairy tales will also come in handy. There are entire discs with such records. They will evoke a pleasant feeling of the approach of the beloved New Year.

Also look for good films for family viewing, cartoons and fairy tales with New Year and Christmas themes. Make it a tradition to watch just such films with your family a few evenings before the holiday. They will help you not only immerse yourself in the right mood, but also give interesting ideas for the New Year's decoration of the house.

Remember that a woman has always been the keeper of the hearth. And it was on her that the mood of all the relatives around her depended. Warmth, peace and comfort emanated from her.

We should not forget about our role in family holidays. I would like to wish all of us a successfully created fairy tale, not overshadowed by fuss and fatigue. May the joy of the upcoming New Year give us enthusiasm in the implementation of our plans.

What can come out of crepe de chine or a crumpled newspaper, even a person with a very rich imagination cannot guess. Unraveling what they are conjuring in this cramped workshop becomes even more difficult after the designer Polina takes out a glue gun.

It's like a laboratory for the production of miracles. After a couple of minutes, faceless shreds and paper balls take on quite definite outlines. Not just flowers, owls, hares - unique Christmas decorations. The dream of many is the very famous "handmade". Hedgehogs are as popular in 2009 as they were a hundred years ago.

In Minsk, the imagination of artists went even further. It seems that what can be created from an ordinary light bulb, pasta or buckwheat? Then the light bulb is painted, the base is hidden under the "skirt" so that no one would guess. And here it is - a bewitching New Year's toy. Art critics are sure: the wholesale folk needlework is not from poverty, but from fatigue. The same type of balls or bumps cause despondency.

There are toys - real works of art. They are exhibited in real museums, where visitors are afraid to touch them.

Now Christmas tree decorations are absolutely free, in the sense that they can be in any image or style. For example, in the form of an apple made of shells or a camel in an earflap. And even 50-70 years ago, a special, ideological burden was assigned to New Year's toys. In museums of ancient jewelry, they know for sure that the history of a country can be taught not from books, but from figurines.

Elena Belyakova, senior researcher at the Department of History of the Sverdlovsk Regional Museum of Local Lore: “Probably the most reflective of politics is the 30s-40s, because it reflects what was going on in the country then, and there were toys of that theme. 50 -60s - this is technical progress. It is also reflected in toys. "

During its existence, Christmas toys have experienced several funny moments. In 1937, a whole series of balloons depicting members of the Politburo was released, during the Great Patriotic War, Christmas trees were decorated with cotton soldiers, and in the 60s, corn cobs were especially popular. And now - in the days of hi-tech, Christmas trees and decorations made of lacquer fabric come into fashion.

Schoolchildren at the exhibition are like on a holiday. This is the rare case when history can not only be examined closer, but also turned in one's hands. Today's toys, probably, will also someday also be considered and, admiring the mysterious light emanating from shiny balls, they will be surprised - they knew how to do it.

In the meantime, in the dark workshop for the production of New Year's decorations, only the eyes of the master Galina Nikolaevna shine. Behind the wall - even hotter. The material is melted to 1200 degrees. For glassblowers, the main thing is not to miss the moment - the material is very fragile.

Alexei Korol, glassblower: "Glass tends to cool very quickly, so you need to have time to finish it while it is hot, cut it so that it does not crack yet."

In a few hours, glass snowmen and Santa Clauses will leave this workshop throughout the country. Christmas tree decoration is a special thing. Such a toy is kept like a jewel, passed down from generation to generation. All because deep down, each of us remains a child, for whom the twinkling balls on the Christmas tree are the main New Year's miracle.

Leading: Until the most joyful night of the year, when it will be possible to give gifts and arrange grandiose fireworks, there is very little time left. And in all this pre-New Year's turmoil, many of us forget that the holidays can be a serious test for the smallest - for our children. How to protect them from an overabundance of impressions during the holidays, psychologist Natalya Suvorova will tell us about this. Tell me, what is the best way to make New Year's Eve a real holiday?

Guest: It is necessary to proceed from the interests of the child, his capabilities and abilities. Because if the child is smart, active, the programs should be extensive, including some kind of sports competitions, hiking. If this is a melancholy child, afraid of many things, then it should be such a very modest, but gentle, lyrical, family holiday. And if we want this holiday to be remembered for a long time, then the materialized memory of this can be gifts, which will also be different in the first and second cases.

Presenter: Well, what is the best way to present this gift, put it under the pillow, under the Christmas tree?

Guest: It depends on what holiday scenario you choose. You can entrust some of the gifts to Santa Claus, and put some of the gifts under the Christmas tree. Part of the gifts on the windowsill, if the guys believe in fairies, elves, and so on, it depends on the fairy tales that are read to the child. If the child believes that, say, mice can bring him something, then you can put something in the corner of the bed, sofa. And you need to remember how to pack a gift. Because while the child will untie it, he will look forward to it, he will be impatient. And it can also become part of the holiday.

Presenter: How to properly prepare a child for the arrival of Santa Claus?

Guest: The child should know that Santa Claus can ask him to read poetry, sing a song, make riddles. He must know that with Santa Claus you can walk around the Christmas tree, that there will be a Snow Maiden with Santa Claus. And in fact, you probably still need to talk with him about what you need to thank for the gift and Santa Claus and all relatives. But from the very beginning, there must be someone at this meeting who insures, and the child does not go alone to Santa Claus, say, but hand in hand with grandma, grandpa, mom and dad. Maybe, first, one of the elders will answer the questions of Santa Claus, and then the child. Well, I guess in that case he won't be scared.

Presenter: And what should parents do if the gifts that the child asked for are unbearable for the family budget?

Guest: Long before the holiday, you can invite the child to write to Santa Claus and discuss what of what the child wrote, Santa Claus can really deliver. Talk to the child why he needs this or that thing. If he wants everyone to see that he has something unique, then it does not have to be an expensive thing. Just recently, I ran into a girl from a very wealthy family who was walking and beaming simply, and when I said: "How good you look today! What happened?" She said, "I'm wearing a dress that my grandmother knitted for me." You should have seen the faces of the children around! Here they have the opportunity to buy everything, but unfortunately not everyone has a grandmother who will tie. And if the child says that there really is such a thing, it is, of course, expensive, then you can agree with him that maybe not this year, but next year. And not Santa Claus, who will give a small toy, but the family, at the expense of something, will really give him what he needs.

Presenter: Is it possible to devote all the holidays to going to different matinees, to some fabulous performances? Will this be a burden on the child's psyche?

Guest: Everything should be in moderation, and joy too. After all, our task is not just to give gifts to the child, but to make the events unforgettable, to discuss something with him later, to make sure that the invaluable life experience that the child received is comprehended by him. And if every day we are in some kind of fuss, probably not everything will work out.

The New Year is a truly magical holiday that not only gives hope for the best, but also brings everyone around. The atmosphere of a fairy tale and possible miracles, of course, is created by bright New Year's paraphernalia. Today, what only festive decorations and souvenirs do not offer us shops. However, the best jewelry, as you know, are those that are created by yourself. We have several ideas on how to make your home fabulous in just a few hours ...

A window is like a door to a fairy tale...

Let's start with the window. The easiest way to decorate it is with snowflakes. The whole family is usually involved in their manufacture, because it is so exciting!

Everyone knows how to make simple paper snowflakes. And we offer to make unusual snowflakes, for example, voluminous ones. To do this, we need colored paper, and absolutely any color, foil, scissors and glue. Now let's get to work. Take a sheet of paper, fold it like an accordion. If you take half an A4 sheet for a snowflake, then the diameter of the snowflake will be about 12 centimeters. Next, fold the accordion in half. It is necessary to make three such accordions. On each of them, make a figured edge, and then glue together three accordions. Close the circle. Decorate the middle of the snowflake with foil snowflakes. Our snowflake is ready!

Even a simple window decoration with beautiful paper snowflakes creates the mood of a winter fairy tale in the house, but in addition to ordinary snowflakes, we can create a real fairy tale plot from paper patterns on the window. How? Yes, very easy! Turn on all your imagination, and then you can get this window:

or like this:

or even this:

Christmas decorations will undoubtedly add a holiday mood to the room. A great idea is to hang them on a window with thin strong threads, so that it looks like the toys are floating in the air. Above them, you can attach, for example, a garland of needles.

If you like brightness, then instead of threads, you can use silk ribbons or thin packaging ribbons, which are used to tie gifts. Toys can be both monophonic and multi-colored.

Have you ever thought about the fact that you can decorate not only the window itself, but also the window sill. Here is a place for New Year's compositions, candles, various figurines, souvenirs, tinsel ... By the way, in addition to beauty, the idea of ​​​​decorating a window sill also has practical applications. You can, for example, put gifts there. Let this time the good Santa Claus leave them not under the tree, but on the windowsill.

An old dream comes true, or How to make a fireplace in a couple of hours

Have you been dreaming of a fireplace for a long time, but it is not possible for you to place it in your apartment? Then this idea is definitely for you, because in the New Year dreams come true! We offer to make a fireplace out of boxes. Such a decorative item will delight all family members, especially children, performing an aesthetic function and bringing a share of fabulousness to the upcoming holiday.

It is worth noting that there are no particular difficulties in creating a fireplace from boxes. Here's what you need: cardboard boxes from a TV or other equipment; stationery knife or any other sharp knife; pencil, long ruler or centimeter tape; adhesive tape of two types, double-sided and masking; optional - either wallpaper with a brick pattern, or you can use white paper; glue; drywall sheet for the shelf; decoration materials.

So let's get started. According to the drawing prepared in advance, it is necessary to cut out the layout of our future fireplace from a cardboard box, give it the desired shape using a clerical knife. We cut a hole for the firebox with a clerical knife, the shape of the firebox can be square or rectangular, or even semicircular.

We glue the cardboard folds with masking tape. To prevent the structure from bending, it should be reinforced from the wrong side with additional stiffeners. With a clerical knife, you need to cut the top drywall countertop. If there is no drywall, you can glue 2-3 sheets of cardboard together with glue. We fix the countertop to the floor of the finished structure using glue and double-sided tape. Additionally, you can cut a shelf and place it at the bottom of the firebox.

We decorate the resulting fireplace. There are a huge number of options for beautiful decoration of cardboard structures for the New Year. You can paste over the New Year's fireplace with bricks cut in advance. As one option, you can stick white paper and make various patterns and drawings with your own hands. And you can stick skirting boards or stucco. New Year involves various decorations in the form of garlands, tinsel and Christmas candles. Decorate your own fireplace with them. Believe me, both your children and guests will be delighted!

And may your most cherished wishes come true!

“They say: on New Year's Eve, whatever you wish, everything will always happen, everything will always come true” ... These are lines from a famous children's poem. Not only kids believe in miracles, but also adults. Why not make a wish tree for the holiday? Minimum effort, great results! Let's get started.

You can “lay out” such a Christmas tree, for example, on a large mirror or even on the same window. And you can use whatman paper, a sheet of cardboard or even an unnecessary piece of fiberboard for this purpose. What to write on the attached slips of paper? Yes, whatever! The main thing is that the wish be kind, you can even write it in verse or in a joking manner. After the chiming clock, invite your guests to choose their wish.

We hope that the New Year ideas proposed by us will appeal to you and you will take note of something with pleasure. Let your home be cozy, beautiful, and at least for a short time, miracles will settle in it...

2020 is coming soon. How quickly time flies! But not only years are running away, but also hours, minutes, seconds. If you want to feel the approach of the New Year in advance, meet it without fuss and haste, start decorating your home right now. New Year's decor ideas are already in the air, and many of them can be suggested by children who will gladly take part in this pleasant and exciting process. Moreover, the children do not need to be urged, rushed, and you yourself can safely add something new every day and gradually bring the festive interior to perfection. You may have to buy something, but most of the decorations can be made with your own hands from what is in the house.

Color matters: the main tone of the New Year's decor

Recommendations for choosing a color scheme cannot serve as the ultimate truth. New Year's decor should harmoniously fit into the existing interior and only give it an elegant, festive look. But some tips may be helpful.

Green, the color of the needles, will be present in any case. To dilute it, you need to attract not the entire rainbow palette, but only two or three contrasting tones. It is better to give preference to New Year's colors - red, gold, silver. Saturated, bright shades of purple, blue, turquoise also look good.

You can arrange everything in one color scheme - this is a very effective and stylish option. Just don't forget compatibility. If the interior of the apartment is designed in cold colors, choose the appropriate range and silver, add gold and New Year's red to warm shades.

Several Christmas trees in the house - easy and simple

You don’t want to hang tinsel and garlands on the walls, and you don’t need to. But the New Year without a Christmas tree is not a holiday, so we will definitely set the forest beauty. Everything is simple here: we prepared a free place, audited last year's toys, determined what needs to be bought, and you can decorate the main one.

But, if you approach the issue creatively, you can not buy the missing toys, but make them yourself. And one more thing - in every room you can find a place for a homemade Christmas tree, and let the holiday be felt throughout the apartment at once.

Additional Christmas trees can be:

• - from beads, garlands, photographs,
• from improvised materials - wooden sticks, cones, pasta,
• - tinsel, rain, sweets and everything that comes to mind is glued onto the cone,
• knitted or collected from small balls,
• beautifully shaped branches with silver or gold plating,
• ordinary houseplants, properly decorated.

Only let the Christmas trees be not of the same type, but different in texture, shape and method of execution.

Now, toys. Made with love and imagination, they will turn your New Year into the warmest, most sincere and cozy holiday. You can wrap simple Christmas balls with shreds of fabric, knit clothes from colored yarn, paint them with acrylics, make compositions from cones, funny felt figures. Bake in the form of stars and Christmas trees with a small hole for the ribbon and hang it on the branches - both tasty and beautiful.

Decorate windows and doors

Windows are the eyes of the house, the door is the face. Let your apartment look at the surrounding world and welcome guests with joy.

Let's start with windows:

• place compositions of their branches, cones and candles on the windowsills,
• lay out and hang bright Christmas balls,
• cut out from plastic bottles or thick paper,
• make garlands of flags, funny figurines, Christmas socks.

If you are fond of or just familiar with this technique, create fabulous illuminated, magical figurines and winter scenes.

Doors are usually decorated with wreaths. Dream up, create your own wreath or improve an existing one. Everything goes:

• dried citrus slices
• winter berries - mountain ash, cranberries,
• cut flower buds,
• bright lollipops,
• corks, beads,
• cones, coniferous branches, ribbons,
• bows, tinsel, garlands.

A wreath can decorate not only a door, but also a wall, window, furniture or a chandelier.

Christmas lighting and table setting

New Year is unthinkable without candles. Let there be many of them, make beauty with your own hands. Arrange white and colored candles in glass vases, glasses, ordinary jars, one-third filled with sea salt or red berries, wrap with cinnamon sticks, cover with green twigs.

A composition with live fire will come in handy anywhere, and especially in the center of a festive dinner. It is better to serve the table in the same colors that prevail in interior decoration. Each plate can be provided with the guest's name or a small wish card. Dishes to your taste, but it is very desirable to depict some kind of New Year's symbol on each.

Decorate your home with love, connect all the household and you will have a real pleasure. And also - a nice bonus in the form of quite tangible savings, since you can create all the New Year's beauty with your own hands. Happy winter evenings and Happy New Year!
