If you don't have money for Christmas tree, you should not leave toys in a box on the closet: hang the balls on satin multi-colored ribbons of different lengths from the chandelier - the light from it will shimmer on the toys and add festiveness to your interior.

In addition, you can make a Christmas tree with your own hands. Stick a cheap LED garland in the shape of a Christmas tree outline on the wall. If the wall allows, finish drawing directly on it. Or, for example, cut out the necessary pictures from magazines. You can lay out pages from an old book or your favorite photographs on the wall in the form of a Christmas tree. Office plasticine will help you attach paper to the wall - it leaves no traces. Beautifully decorated gifts will perfectly complement such a festive installation.
You can also use old textiles to decorate your apartment. Tear old beautiful rags with bright patterns into ribbons. Don't be afraid of torn edges: they will add charm to the decoration. Ribbons can be tied to the tree as decorations or tied around gifts.
If you don’t have New Year’s toys, it doesn’t matter, you can make them yourself. For example, you can buy the cheapest plastic toys and make unique jewelry out of them.

Idea 1
You will need a glass or plastic transparent ball, an old CD, glue and scissors. The disk is cut into small pieces of various shapes (triangles or squares are best). These parts are glued to the Christmas tree ball and you get an unusual toy.

Idea 2
Using glue, the desired pattern is drawn on the ball and sprinkled with small glitter on top.

Idea 3
The Christmas ball is pasted over with old black and white newspaper clippings - the result is a very stylish decoration.
Idea 4
You can put small multi-colored candies in a transparent plastic ball and pour culinary beads into it. Or even mold Santa Claus out of plasticine and place him in this ball on a piece of cotton wool (for this, the plastic ball must consist of two opening parts).
Idea 5
If you know how to knit even a little, then you can use a 1.5-2 mm hook and cotton thread to knit the Christmas tree balls themselves. To do this, take a hook, thread, air balloons, PVA glue or starch. Crochet half of the ball according to any pattern you choose, then crochet the second. Connect. Through the hole, insert a balloon inside our tied one and inflate it so that the top balloon stretches well. Then either place the workpiece in starch, or dip it in PVA glue diluted with water in a ratio of 2 to 1. Leave the balls to dry for a day. Then simply puncture the balloons and remove them. Ready-made toys can be left like this or decorated with sparkles.

To create Christmas mood in each room, you can cut out small (and not so small) Christmas trees from cardboard and place them throughout the apartment. To do this you will need ordinary cardboard (you can use colored cardboard), a pencil and scissors. First you need to draw the outline of a Christmas tree on a sheet of cardboard and cut it out with scissors, make a cut on one piece from top to bottom to the middle, and on the other - from bottom to top to the middle. By “assembling” the two halves, we get a three-dimensional Christmas tree. You can decorate it as you wish - make funny wish inscriptions with colored markers, paste it with funny pictures cut out from magazines, an old newspaper, or decorate it with patterns using special glue with glitter (sold in office supplies). You can put small plasticine gifts under the Christmas trees - you can make them together with your children.

In Europe, it is customary to pack each gift - regardless of size - in a separate box, wrap it in beautiful wrapping paper and tie a bow. You can use this idea in your own way. Surely there are houses regular boxes and boxes. Gifts can be placed in them. If the gift is smaller than the box, you can tear some cotton wool and put the gift on top. The box can be covered with children's colored paper, and then packed in regular kraft packaging paper and tied with twine. With a black marker, you can write a small wish or draw a funny face directly on the packaging.

With the help of candles it is very easy to create an intimate and festive atmosphere. They are quite inexpensive (tablet candles or ordinary household ones will do), and candlesticks can be easily made with your own hands.
In lemons, oranges or apples, you can cut the pulp to the size of candles and insert them into the fruit. Such a “candlestick” will not last long, but it will look original.

You can also make unusual candlesticks from ordinary cans. To do this, you need to spray them with white paint from a can or simply decorate them with tinsel, and then pour half of the water into them and lower burning floating candles into it.
The third version of the candlestick can be made from small wine glasses on legs. Fir branches are glued to them on the outside, the ends of which are trimmed, and small candles are placed inside.

In addition, from the usual glass jars you can make something beautiful Christmas decoration. It is enough to take an ordinary glass container, paint its lid with silver or, at worst, white paint, put tinsel or artificial snow, cotton wool, fir branches and small toys (if you don’t have New Year’s ones, you can use figurines from Kinder Surprise). After this, the jar should be placed on the windowsill, decorated with tinsel. You can make several of these decorations different sizes, setting them in height.
You can decorate your room inexpensively balloons: glitter is poured into them, after which the balls are filled with gas. You need to tie postcards or small souvenirs to the threads, and then release them to the ceiling. It will look beautiful and unusual above the holiday table.

Preparations for the New Year holidays begin not on December 31, but several months in advance, but sometimes they are not enough to properly think through the entire decor. We draw ideas, inspiration and think through every element of the future decoration of the premises.
The holiday comes to us!
Choosing a color is not an easy task for everyone. Let's try to help you choose the best solution.
What colors are considered the most “New Year’s”:
This does not mean that you cannot use white and blue tones, or that you should deny yourself the pleasure of making the entire decor silver. We are talking about traditional New Year's flowers.
Let's look at the most successful color combinations using the photo as an example.
Cinnamon, chocolate and the smell of fresh pine needles will envelop the house in New Year's mystery. To achieve such soaring aromas in the apartment, aromatic oils and aroma lamps are used.
Christmas wreaths take their rightful place on doors, protecting the spirit of festive fun from adversity and bad mood.
Sleigh is the main thematic figure of the winter holiday. This also includes sweets, a bright poinsettia flower star, figures of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden under the Christmas tree.

It is doubtful that people who have chosen minimalism in the interior will suddenly turn their apartment into a New Year's fair decorative ornaments. In order not to spoil, but rather to decorate the rooms, you should act within reason when decorating the holiday.

Sometimes it seems that if the apartment is small, then you won’t have much fun with the decoration - we’ll put up a Christmas tree, but that’s fine. Or, on the contrary, the apartment is so large that you can hear an echo in it, and it seems unrealistically difficult to dress it up. Each area requires its own approach.
How more meters, the more possibilities in choosing decor. Even the biggest artificial fireplace will look grand if decorated with pine garlands, and you can choose a Christmas tree without worrying about the fact that you will still need to somehow squeeze past it.
There are few principles for decorating a small living space:
In any case, the decor should not clutter up the passages and interfere with normal life in the apartment.

A composition created from a dry branch with shiny balls of different sizes also looks great. To create a sounded product, you need to prepare: a glue gun, balls of different diameters, a dry branch, PVA glue and a gloss that matches the tone. So, using a glue gun, we glue the prepared balls onto the branch, after which we generously cover some parts of the branch with a layer of PVA glue and sprinkle with selected glitter, and leave the product to dry!
Let's start with the window sill. A spectacular composition created from the most ordinary thick paper, complemented by luminous garlands, looks truly festive. How to create such beauty? For work you will need: thick paper, scissors, stationery knife, pencil, tape, electric garland.

Such miniature Christmas trees will perfectly complement the interior, and making them is not at all difficult, take for example a Christmas tree made of tinsel... We make a cone from thick paper (how to make a cone, and you can also look at a lot of examples of all kinds of miniature Christmas trees), glue pieces of double-sided tape onto the cone, after which we begin to wrap the cone with suitable tinsel (it is better to wrap it from top to bottom).
We select a dry branch that resembles miniature tree, install it in a pot with stones and decorate it with Christmas tree decorations. For greater effect, the branch can be pre-painted in any color you think is suitable.
Classic balls or retro toys with intricate motifs will look great on them; below you can see some striking examples.

You can make a festive wreath yourself. Fold several spruce branches and tie them with a beautiful ribbon. The decoration can be supplemented with accessories, for example, figurines of bells, snowflakes and other New Year's paraphernalia. You can also decorate the door with multi-colored garlands or lay out lights in the form of a pattern, for example, a Christmas tree. In the dark, the lights of the garlands will sparkle, attracting the attention of passers-by and giving them a mood of celebration and miracle.
Place figurines symbolizing the New Year on shelves and window sills. These can be figurines of Santa Claus or Father Frost, Snow Maiden, miniature Christmas trees and, of course, figurines of the symbol of the year.

In addition, there is big choice interesting candles in the form of figures, including New Year’s ones. They will not only add visual beauty to the room, but also fill it with warm festive light.
