New Year's decorations from what is at hand! 6 DIY ideas

December 17 is the time to decorate the house and get ready for the New Year. And while the kids are waiting for the holiday and gifts, we adults are thinking about how to organize all this, creating a memorable New Year's atmosphere in our home. And preferably with the least financial losses for the family budget!

Good afternoon dear friends!

Is it a joke when a green living beauty starts to cost from 7500 rubles. (I don't stutter about artificial ones at all), or decorative toys such as a gnome / deer from 1200 rubles, or a meter garland - from 1050 rubles. This is where you start to think about the budget for the New Year holidays. After all, things of this type will be needed oh, how many. And you also need to buy gifts, set the festive table! In general, there are a lot of costs, but money, as always, is back to back. The question arises: how and on what can you save money so as not to spoil the holiday so beloved by everyone?

I suggest starting with

1.Delicious garland. All you need to create this kind of decor is to cut and dry orange and lemon wedges. Then string them on a simple rope or twine, and then hang them on a Christmas tree, window or wall. I am sure the result will pleasantly surprise you!

And yes, this garland is literally edible. You can remove the slices, rinse with water, and then add them to tea, compote or mulled wine.

2.3D snowflakes. Surely, you made snowflakes out of paper as a child. This year, I propose to recall past skills and repeat them in three-dimensional format. But since environmental friendliness and reuse of materials are in fashion, I suggest cutting snowflakes from craft or old packaging paper. There are many step-by-step tutorials on how to draw 3D shapes today.

And when the New Year comes into its own, carefully pack the snowflakes and hide until next year. This decor will be in trend for several years to come.

3.Advent calendar. Waiting and counting the days left before the New Year is more enjoyable with the help of such a fashionable contraption! It can be made whole with pockets for all December days, or it can be in the form of individual packaging for every day. Here as your heart desires. One tip: To avoid splurging on wrapping paper, use cloth, cardboard, newspapers, or unnecessary boxes.

And you can put anything inside the calendar! Small gifts, souvenirs, goodies... The main thing is that he makes the expectation of the holiday even more pleasant and exciting.

4.Cloth, not paper! It used to be fashionable to give gifts wrapped in bright cellophane packaging or paper. Now the modern trend of Furoshiki is different - they are hidden in a fabric wrapper. Often made from unnecessary T-shirts, blouses or sweaters.

A great idea aimed at preserving nature, because such packaging can be used more than once!

5.Natural decor. A huge number of things can be used as a natural decoration: dry tree branches, pine paws, cones, pumpkin seeds, acorns, lavrushka and rosemary from the store. From all this, a unique festive decor is obtained, there would be an imagination or a desire to decorate the house for the New Year outside the box!

For example, you can make glass jars with Christmas trees inside, or weave a wreath from pine paws, etc.

6.Perennial Christmas tree. What New Year is without a New Year's beauty? That's right, none! Therefore, instead of buying a spruce or fir at the bazaar every year for "big" money, I advise you to get yourself a real live Christmas tree in a pot. So you will solve all the problems at once!

If you are not ready to have such a pet, then you can replace it with a coniferous bouquet made up of fir, spruce or pine branches.
