Yes, yes, the Christmas tree, like a true lady, is a big fashionista and prefers a stylish outfit.
Fashion for Christmas toys
Christmas tree fashion is changeable. At the beginning of the 20th century, naturalness and simplicity were relevant - decorations for the Christmas tree were made of colored cardboard and straw. Then the forest beauty began to be dressed up in garlands and toys having completely different themes and textures:
- transparent, golden and silver balls;
- foil flashlights;
- beads sparkling with tints of lights;
- crackers and flags made of crimson and silver paper.
In Soviet times, the New Year tree was thickly hung with threads of rain, the top of the head was necessarily crowned with a five-pointed star.
A few years ago, the Western trend came to us to decorate the Christmas tree with balls of two colors. But everything is changing rapidly and monochrome jewelry is no longer so popular. Fashion is not so categorical, you can mix modern and grandmother's toys and decorate a Christmas tree, but the chaotic outfit is unlikely to charm anyone. It's much more fun to pick one topic and follow it.
How to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year
Compositions can be made of colorful bright garlands, sets of New Year's toys in retro style, chic modern balls. Or hang candies, fruits wrapped in shiny wrappers on the Christmas tree. Homemade toys made of straw, fabric, wood are relevant. These can be clowns, dolls, gnomes, animal figurines made with love and faith in miracles.
Regardless of what kind of Christmas decorations you prefer, the tree should organically fit into the interior. During the New Year and Christmas holidays, it becomes the main subject and should not be discordant with the design of the room. To make the New Year's beauty look harmonious, designers are advised to adhere to some rules.
The size of the spruce should correspond to the area of the room. A small Christmas tree in a huge living room will simply get lost and, on the contrary, a large tree in a small room will look ridiculous. A fluffy Christmas tree should not be overloaded with toys, it is beautiful in itself. If the tree is "bald", then the thickly hung tinsel will hide all the flaws. Beads, serpentine, garlands should be hung horizontally, not from top to bottom.
Place the glass balls near the lights of the electric garland, the light will be reflected in the balls and create a beautiful mysterious shimmer. Try to distribute the toys evenly, at the same distance from each other. Start up large toys at the bottom, hang small ones at the top. Place the Star of Bethlehem on top of your head. Touch up the tips of the branches with gold or silver spray paint. This technique will add splendor to the forest beauty. And do not forget to decorate the tree with the symbol of the New Year, in 2017 it is the Fire Rooster.
