Instructions
Step 1
Before purchasing the necessary decor in the store, think over the style in which you will compose the compositions. Make a list of what you need. This way you can avoid unnecessary expenses.
Step 2
Stock up on spruce or pine branches. To keep the bouquet fresh, strengthen it in a floral sponge. Sponges of all sizes are available in specialized stores. If you can't find the shape you want in the store, cut it out yourself using a sharp knife.
Step 3
Place the sponge in a deep container of water and leave it there for a few hours. Do not try to lower the sponge to the bottom, it should sink on its own - this means that it is completely saturated with water.
Step 4
Remove the water-soaked sponge and place it on the tray. Prepare everything you need for the composition and start collecting it. The bouquet can be based on pine, spruce or juniper branches. Cut them to the required length and stick them into the sponge according to the intention of the composition.
Step 5
White chrysanthemums will be a very beautiful addition to the New Year's bouquet. Choose small-flowered or large specimens. Strengthen them by sticking the pre-cut stems into the sponge.
Step 6
Perfectly decorate the composition and cones. For added conviviality, spray paint with gold or silver paint. Do not combine gold and silver in one bouquet - stop at one option. White and blue colors are suitable for silver decor, red and brown look great with gold. Ribbons or candles can be kept in these shades.
Step 7
Bouquets can be decorated with artificial snow. Buy it from the store or create an imitation by rubbing foam on a grater. Apply PVA glue to the spruce branches, gently sprinkle artificial snow on top. You can use sparkles instead - they shimmer very effectively in the candlelight.
Step 8
The composition in the form of a New Year's wreath is very effective and easy to make. A ring sponge is suitable as a base. Cut small spruce twigs and small flowers of white or red chrysanthemums. Stick twigs and flowers into the sponge in random order. They must be secured tightly without gaps. Attach a gold ribbon bow to the side of the composition, and a large candle can be placed in the center.
Step 9
An original wreath can also be made from cones. Take a wire cage or roll a thick wire into a ring yourself. Prepare some buds, some of which can be sprayed with gold. Cover the rest with varnish so that they do not open. Apply Moment glue to the bottom of the cone and attach it to the frame. In this way, glue all the bumps. Dry the wreath well. Top the composition can be sprinkled with artificial snow.
