How to make an ordinary New Year's bottle

Which bottle exactly? Yes, whatever! On New Year's Eve, everything should be New Year's Eve. It uplifts the mood and gives a sense of celebration. So.

We take a clean dry bottle. It will be empty or filled with some kind of drink, it is not so important.
We buy a regular balloon. However, not quite ordinary, but with a New Year's pattern. On New Year's Eve, they are sold on every corner.
Pull the balloon onto the bottle. For greater beauty, we tie the neck of the bottle with a bow or ribbon.

That's the whole craft! The bottle has acquired a New Year's look.

bottle cover

A separate topic is textile decorations for bottles. Agree, when a festive feast is decorated with fairy-tale characters or elegant Christmas trees, then the mood is completely different, right? I want to start celebrating as soon as possible.

Textile covers with a printed pattern for partial embroidery will not take much time to make. You can embroider them literally in a couple of evenings, and the magnificent result will not leave anyone indifferent.
If you have enough free time, you can make elegant aprons for bottles. Cut them out of colored or white canvas or uniform weave fabric, embroider a festive motif, trim the edges with braid – and you're done!

A little time and patience, and you will have a wonderful set of textiles for the New Year's table.

Crown

The frame of the crown is made of thin wire. The main ring, corresponding to the circumference of the head, is decorated in front with triangular or rounded wire loops. The joints are hidden with multi-colored wire or bright braid.

Wall compositions from snowflakes

Volumetric compositions of snowflakes look very creative on the walls. They are very easy to make. For the product, you will need a lot of wooden popsicle ice cream sticks, which can be collected for some time or ordered at a very low price in some online store.

If the walls are white, then the red, golden or blue color of the composition will look very advantageous, so you also need to prepare the gouache of the selected shade. You will also need glue.

Wooden sticks are laid out on the floor in the shape of a snowflake. The places of intersection of the edges of the sticks are glued together. When the glue is dry, the snowflake design is placed on the newspaper and painted red, gold or blue over all surfaces.

After the snowflakes have dried, it is hung on a satin ribbon and hung on the wall.

Compositions in vases

Horizontal surfaces also need a festive decor. Multi-colored, gold or silver cones in transparent round glass vases look especially elegant. It won't be hard to make them.

You will need:

dry pine and spruce cones;
acrylic paints, colors of your choice;
paper;
round synthetic brush.

Procedure

Paint the cones in different colors.
Lay on paper and let dry.
Put in a vase.

By the way, if you wish, you can replace the cones with multi-colored balls, as long as they are made in the same style.

We advise you to complement the composition with an artificial coniferous twig or holly leaves, as well as small sweets in monochromatic shiny wrappers.

Deer

You can make a deer out of tinsel or even a symbol of the New Year. The main thing is to choose the right template.

We will need:

thin tinsel (preferably on a wire);
stencil;
small decor;
thin tape.

Draw an image of a deer using a stencil (you can find it in our selection). Or take any other New Year's picture.

Lay out the tinsel along the contour and bend it in the right places, fix it with tape. Horns are best made not from whole tinsel, but from pieces.

This decor will especially appeal to young children. If you have a child, put a deer at his door.

Volumetric paper ideas for decorating a room

Volumetric paper crafts look very nice. Most often they make a star or snowflakes. They hang above the ceiling and create a fabulous atmosphere. Below are two tutorials on how to make a paper snowflake.

The second master class is simpler. At the same time, the craft is also incredibly beautiful. Instead of paper, you can use felt or foamiran.

A paper house can also become a voluminous decoration. From them you can create a variety of compositions. And also use as photo background.

Several patterns for printing and cutting.

The blanks will look something like this. The thicker the paper, the larger the house can be assembled. It will be stiffer and stand better.

We can't do without a master class. The following shows step by step how to assemble such a winter hut.

And you need an ordinary box of milk or juice. It needs to cut windows and a roof.

Then we glue the roof with masking tape and decorate the workpiece as we wish.

The next idea has long been our favorite. This house is also a stand for twigs or candles.

The elements with dimensions are shown below. The parts are glued alternately with PVA glue or hot silicone glue and decorated.

From snowflakes cut with your own hands, you can assemble garlands. Let me remind you how to cut them.

They are also suitable for creating children's Christmas wreaths.

And, if you collect a sheet of paper with an accordion and glue the edges together, then there is a basis for a different number of ideas. For example, for toys.

Or Christmas trees on the wall.

Or another New Year's wreath.

The next option is more related to decorating the Christmas tree. You can make a similar grandfather from strips of paper. Twist the beard with a pen and glue the opposite edges of the part.

It turns out a cute and interesting pendant.

Of course, a variety of garlands are exactly related to volumetric decorations.

There can be a huge number of them. Ideas with step by step instructions are below. As an option, New Year's multi-colored light bulbs.

There may be such. Only this option is more complex and requires accuracy.

Offhand, already these decorations should be enough to transform not only your house, but also your neighbor's! And we don't stop. After all, it is necessary to have time to prepare not only your housing, but also public places.

window stickers

Bright stickers will quickly bring the New Year mood into the room. They decorate windows, glass cabinet doors, mirrors.

You can independently cut graceful snowflakes, Christmas trees, figurines of birds and animals. If desired, colorful stickers with deer, the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus and other symbols of the holiday are bought ready-made, choosing the right color combination. When mastering painting skills, it is easy to depict magnificent snow-covered landscapes, fairy-tale houses and other images on the window using gouache and even toothpaste.

What decorations can be made from branches and cones

One of the most accessible winter materials is cones. It is worth taking a walk in the forest or park and you can pick up a whole bag of them. And they make wonderful Christmas decorations. You can make hedgehogs or Christmas trees from cones.

But that's not all. Their convenient shape allows you to connect them one by one with each other. The result is a real garland. It can be hung on the wall or laid out on the fireplace.

If you paint over the surface of the cones, you can get a bouquet of them. It is especially beautiful when they take fruits of different breeds and different degrees of disclosure.

Unusual is their tandem with candles. But remember that this material is easily flammable, so it is better to use diode candles.

Another decor idea in a glass. Instead, transparent salad bowls, candlesticks and vases are suitable.

One of the simple elements of decor is to use a bunch of cones in the suspension.

They can decorate the doorknob.

The tape is glued to the wide side of the fruit with a hot gun or glue moment.

A similar bow can be tied according to the scheme below.

Natural material looks very advantageous in decor. Now it is very popular to make beauty out of ordinary things that are lying under our feet. This is literally. For example, branches. What can be made of them? If you apply imagination, you will get wonderful Christmas trees.

Volumetric balls for decor

Volumetric balls of frozen threads are the most common New Year's product that adorns many public places and educational institutions.

The thread wound in chaotic directions is covered on top with several layers of PVA glue. After waiting for complete drying, the ball must be burst with a thread.

Fold the fabric or felt in half inside out. Attach the pattern so that the top is on the fold line.
Cut out the checkboxes. You should end up with a sort of double piece with a fold line in the middle.
Place the pieces upside down.
Put a decorative cord on top. Apply glue and glue both halves together.
Continue until you have the desired length of garland. Make sure that there is an equal distance between the flags.

Button balloons

All kinds of balls are a traditional Christmas decoration. They are hung on the Christmas tree, they often serve as a New Year's interior decoration. It is also easy to make a wonderful ball from buttons.

We are preparing the base. For her, a foam ball is best suited.
Next, we stock up on a lot of different buttons and safety pins (preferably with colored heads).
We begin to pin the buttons to the foam base with pins. We arrange the buttons in dense rows so that the base is not visible.
Having chipped the entire base in this way, we attach a wire loop to the ball and, for greater beauty, tie a ribbon or bow to it.

The ball, if desired, can be made of any size – depending on the size of the base.
