Instructions
Step 1
Prepare your apartment or house for decoration by doing a general cleaning. Then take out the Christmas tree decorations, garlands, Christmas tree (artificial) and check if everything is intact, everything works. If something is missing, and there is an opportunity to purchase new items, then it's time for you to go to the store. Remember that already in mid-December, shops are like a buzzing hive.
Step 2
Start with the Christmas tree, the hero of the occasion. Real or artificial - it does not matter, the main thing is that it is fluffy and beautiful. First, stretch a garland of lanterns between the branches, plug it in and check if the light is evenly distributed. Now put pieces of white cotton wool on the edges and centers of the branches, like white snow. Surround the base of the tree with tinsel, cotton wool and rain, put Santa Claus and Snow Maiden here, and later hide the gifts.
Step 3
Christmas decorations. The assortment of Christmas balls will delight the most picky buyer. Glass, plastic, transparent, made of glass like a disco ball, sprayed under the "snow" - the choice of toys is huge. However, do not hang everything on the tree, otherwise you will get bad taste. Observe the harmony of style and color. Classics - gold ribbons and scarlet balls, plus a thread of small beads. But the balls can be either gold or blue, if the tree is white. Toys in the form of figures of animals, little men or cones with huts of "hedgehogs" - let your children fasten them. And you make sure that, ideally, everything looks harmonious.
Step 4
Rain and tinsel. Tinsel is both monophonic and colored, with elements of stars, bells, hearts. Delicate one-color openwork tinsel looks great both on Christmas trees and in interior decoration. Due to the dense core and fluffy halo, everything looks very tempting. For door openings and as a hanging garland, use Ancona tinsel (very dense and voluminous, presented in three colors). Decorate the Christmas tree with silver rain, and throw colorful holographic decorations on home flowers, for example, on tall palms.
Step 5
Snowflakes. Give this task to the children to cut the decorations out of white paper and foil. You can buy ready-made snowflakes - fix them on glasses. In addition, snowflakes can be hung from chandeliers and attached to garlands. For example, if you have tinsel stretched around the perimeter of the room, throw a thread or fishing line over it and tie your crafts.
Step 6
There is a beautiful custom - to put New Year's gifts in Christmas boots (socks) fixed by the fireplace. You can take this idea and sew similar jewelry with your own hands. You will need red cloth, decorative ornaments, applique patches, ribbons, a sewing machine, and a couple of hours of free time. There may not be a fireplace in an ordinary apartment, but an ordinary clothesline will help you out. Tie the ends to something to make it taut. Hook the finished holiday boots with clothespins on the rope. This idea will appeal to both children and adults.
Step 7
Candles and New Year's figurines. The holiday will not do without candles. There are snowmen, and animals, and gel ones with beads in cups, and tapers in sparkles. Such decoration will serve as a decor not only for rooms, but also for a festive table. Do not forget to buy figurines with a winter theme, arrange them on the shelves, on the TV, on the computer desk, let a wonderful and kind fairy tale come to life in every corner of the house.
