We make New Year's wreaths with our own hands

This wonderful tradition of decorating the house came from America and Western Europe. The doors of private houses and apartments, festive tables decorate there with wicker Christmas tree branches and toys. We can both buy ready, and make New Year's wreaths with our own hands. And how much joy this occupation can bring, especially if you involve the younger members of the family.

In order to create New Year's wreaths with our own hands, we need a foundation. It can be either a thick wire, or a bundle of straw, like a vine or foam rubber. In the sale there are special foam plates, thanks to which you can make New Year's wreaths yourself in just a few minutes. Having chosen a basis, think over the concept and color scale.

Original crafts from natural materials look . To the branches of pine or any coniferous species we add nuts, almonds, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, dried fruit slices, for example citrus fruits. Stylish New Year's wreaths with their own hands (photo of which we publish in the article) can be made from lace, decorated with serpentine, colored ribbons, beads. In the center you can put a vase with spruce branches or dry flowers. The color scheme of the scenery can be any, however it is most often used against the background of dense greenery: bright red, golden, blue and silver. A special solemnity will be given to the decoration of the table (and a New Year's wreath, made with his own hands, as a rule, is located in its center) pearly white and cream.

When choosing color, remember the style of decoration of the Christmas tree, the tastes of guests and the general design of the living room or hall.

It is always appropriate and attractive to look at such hand-made bumps. Both natural color, and silver-plated or gilded, they perfectly match with different shades of greenery.

Often New Year's wreaths decorate with their own hands and snowflakes, and usual Christmas-tree toys (in this case they can be fastened around the base with a thin wire or satin ribbons). Natural materials, such as nuts, clusters of mountain ash, berries of ornamental shrubs, dried rosehips or acorns, can be covered with gilding spray with gilding or "hoarfrost". Decorations are attached with a glue gun, with a thin wire or sewn-for this purpose the base can be wrapped with a suitable tulle or organza in color. "Sea" a New Year's wreath with your own hands - if you particularly like the water element - you can decorate with large shells.

Artificial or dried flowers, stars made of foil or paper, glass angels or lacy snowflakes - there can be many ideas. To maintain harmony, it is worth remembering that the wreath should not have more than 4 colors, for example, 2 basic and 2 additional. By the way, the form also does not need to be round. For example, the New Year's wreaths, made in the form of hearts, look original and attractive. As a decoration, especially if there are children at home - you can use curly cookies and sweets, attaching them to threads or ribbons. Even a simple ring-shaped base, braided with satin ribbon, can turn into an excellent table decoration. And you can attach to this wreath and small candlesticks - and gatherings can drag on until the morning.
