Traditional and original decorations
- Garland - decorative chain made from interconnected objects. This year, the ideal solution would be to decorate the Christmas tree with an electric garland.

It is also very beautiful to decorate windows, houses outside (roof, doorway, windows, bushes and trees) and mirrors. Hanging a festive garland is much safer than installing candles, but no one forbids you to do this. The only thing is, do not forget to install them correctly.

Perhaps, if you have one, then it is worth hanging, but if not, do not buy. A couple of more years and it will completely lose its relevance. Hang the rain on christmas tree can be done in three ways: vertically, horizontally (storeyed) and spiral. Try each of the options to find out which one you like the most! Advice ! We recommend using the rain to decorate various items at home, not the Christmas tree.
- Unlike the rain holiday ribbons become more and more popular every year. It is they who are at the height of fashion as a decoration for the New Year tree. Today, a very large number of ribbons are on sale: from thin to very wide. One wide ribbon 5 meters long is enough for an entire spruce with a height of up to two meters. Advice! To decorate the Christmas tree with thin ribbons, use a maximum of 2 colors. The ribbons to match the colors of the balls will look very nice and sophisticated if you used 2 colors. If the balls are of the same color, then it is better to take the ribbons of any two other colors. How to decorate a Christmas tree with a ribbon? The best choice- a spiral. More options: lower several thin ribbons vertically or place medium-width ribbons horizontally, on the branches.

Thus, you will add nice tasty gifts for your children. The second option is to put the fruit under the spruce. Third, hang some monkey images. These can be toys made by industrial production or made by hand. It will even be enough to just stick a few images on the already hung balls to flatter yourself to the main symbol of the next year!

Of course, they will be quite heavy and only wide parts of the branches can withstand them, that is, hang them correctly closer to the trunk of the tree. But on the other hand, you don't need to spend a lot on such original balls, and at the end of the holidays you will be happy to eat them!
By adding a small wish under the decor layer, you can surprise your guests by inviting them to choose by Christmas ball from the Christmas tree as a gift.

Live tree- the main guest at the party. Not surprisingly, it should be the most important and eye-catching focal point. But how to make the tree look stylish, beautiful and pleasing to the eyes of the inhabitants, would be elegant and appropriate in your home?
It is very important that both the tree itself and the decorations: garlands, pendants are combined with each other and with other elements of the house in color, shape, material, texture, size, quantity.
When christmas decor the entire interior is made in the same style, and the outfit of the Christmas tree is combined with this style, this makes a whole, harmonious impression. In such a room, you can not only relax your body and soul, but also recharge yourself with a good New Year's mood for all the holidays.
What to consider when decorating a Christmas tree
Having installed the tree in a suitable place, decide where and in what surrounded by she is in what interior... Decide which mood You want to ask on new year holiday... When choosing colors
Do not forget that the tree itself is bright green and will look contrasting with many colors. Not worth chasing a lot of colors, it is better to limit yourself to two or three, choosing one of them, less bright, as the background. (We'll go into more detail on how you can match colors when decorating your Christmas tree later in this article.)
It is important to Christmas decorations by type and shape combined with each other and with the general interior of the room.
You shouldn't decorate the tree all kinds of jewelry- it may look too colorful and out of date.
Think if you overdid it with quantity.
Pay attention to which material toys are made. Use materials that are already in the interior.
To create a New Year's image at home, it is good when details on the tree repeat interior elements in shape, color or texture.
And, of course, don't forget about light - garlands, candles are always organic on the New Year's holiday.
And now a little more detail.
Color or color scheme
Usually enough toys and jewelry two or three bright colors and their shades. With the right combination, they will create an image that is both memorable and at the same time restrained and stylish.
Silver and gold colors are considered traditional in the New Year's decoration of a live Christmas tree. Silver is the color of snow, ice, frosty patterns. And gold is more likely associated with living fire and evokes the image of a winter evening, by candlelight, or by a warm fireplace.
Both gold and silver are great as a basis for decorating your home for the New Year. These colors are often preferred by manufacturers and are fairly easy to find in stores.
Color matching principles
Here are some examples of color matching based on color harmony: monochrome, related, contrasting combinations.
Monochrome color combination
All jewelry is selected in one, basic color, with only some changes in tone. Calmness and tranquility in the decor shown in the photo are guaranteed. Please note that the toys on the mantelpiece and the gifts lying below, in color and material, repeat the balls on the Christmas tree, and the star on the mantelpiece has a sister in shape - an asterisk-top.
In this case, the related color combination creates smooth, balanced transitions from one shade to another.
It also uses a monochrome combination of colors, but it creates a slightly contrasting impression. Christmas trees used to decorate different shades green: on a dark green background, the needles are bright green flashes, and light green cones are combined with light walls. A little intrigue has been added to the calm and cozy atmosphere.
Related color combination
Related colors are neighbors on the color wheel or rainbow spectrum. For example: red and purple, blue and green. The combination of colors close in arrangement expands the monochromatic palette, giving it some depth. Pay attention to how cool the toys, gift ribbons and decorative elements of the interior are combined in color: curtains, pillows, a glass tabletop and a flower vase.
Advice: If your interior has a lot of small details, colored or dark walls, it is better to limit yourself to monochrome or related color combinations. So the tree will not be "lost" against the general background.
Contrast combination
Contrasting colors always create bright and memorable compositions, they make New Year's decorations festive and elegant, and are especially popular with children, but the older generation may seem too familiar and a little boring. Traditional red, green, gold are an example of a contrasting color combination.
Advice: In a spacious room with light walls, you can easily use contrasting combinations, in this case the interior itself will become a good background for a colorful composition. If you manage to find intersections in color, shape and texture here, then you may well pretend to call your Christmas tree a real work of New Year's art.
In this photo, a Christmas tree decorated with toys in contrasting colors successfully complements the interior of the children's room. The purple balls on the tree match the color of the walls, curtains and carpet. And the gold color of the jewelry echoes the pillows and wall clocks.
Advice: In initially bright interiors, when decorating a Christmas tree, it is better not to add new colors, but to use those that already exist so that the interior does not become catchy, flashy.
Selection of Christmas tree decorations
Jewelry shape very important for creating a holistic image of the Christmas tree and everything New Year's interior... When using toys of different shapes, it is good if they are united by a common idea. Often, Christmas tree decorations are a reflection of history and a reminder of a certain period in our life. For example, old dolls or ornaments in the form of animals, when looking at a Christmas tree, draw the image of a fairy tale, magic, childhood, and snowflakes, stars and icicles are more likely to remind of the Soviet past.
Advice: If you or you need a lot of toys, these trees are not very lush, their branches leave a lot of free space, which is good for those who like to hang large balls and voluminous figures on the Christmas tree.
And here they are - these trees are much thicker, if you wish, you can decorate them with quite a few decorations, and they will look great.
In general, it can do without decor - it is so fluffy that it is sometimes difficult to find a place to hang a ball or pendant. In addition, its needles in themselves are shiny, beautiful - the best decoration of the holiday.
Materials (edit)
Christmas tree toys can be made of glass, wood, metal, plastic, papier-mâché, fabric, paper, foil, and more.
If your jewelry is very different in shape, let them be of similar or matching materials. Feel free to use dry twigs, pebbles, shells, dried fruits and buds. Thanks to their natural colors, they are easy to combine with each other.
In our gallery you can get ideas on how to make decorations from spruce and fir spruce branches.
Dried orange rings, cinnamon sticks - you can decorate a Christmas tree in such an original way with what you will surely find in everyone's house. Please note that the gifts under the tree correspond to the general style - ribbons of the same color as the beads on the tree itself, orange rings not only hang on the tree, but are also used to decorate gifts and are simply decoratively laid out on the cover that covers the stand.
Additional elements
Don't forget about pendants, ribbons, beads. These elements complement the New Year's decoration, they are used to decorate the Christmas tree at the very end, after toys and electric garlands.
Advice: Think about how you want to decorate the top - for this there are special top decorations: stars, icicles, snowflakes. You can leave the top empty - it always looks good on living Christmas trees with fluffy branches - for example, Canadian pine, Danish tree, Norwegian tree or Fraser fir
Details
To create a New Year's image of the house, it is important that the details of the Christmas tree decorations repeat the interior elements in shape, color or texture. 
Such a classic interior is rarely found in modern homes, but this principle is well illustrated here. The abundance of gold on the walls and ceiling is not overlooked on the tree itself, but only a few shiny toys hint at it. But the dark red shade of curtains and furniture upholstery is exactly repeated and is used as the main one on glass balls, icicles and beads. Added a small amount of the related red purple color.
In this photo, toys and beads on the tree are matched to the upholstery and gifts. The orange tint of the decorations emphasizes the flickering of a living flame in the fireplace.
In this elegant understated space, the armchair, curtains and picture frame on the wall are all in shades of beige. In the same colors, Christmas tree decorations and gift wrap... Here, the red-brown ribbons on the Christmas tree echo in color with the elements of the painting in the background and the ornament of the carpet, and the gold and silver Christmas tree decorations repeat the colors of the fireplace and the mirror above it.
Lighting
We also take into account daylight- in a room on the sunny side, warm, yellow shades will prevail, and in rooms where there is little sunlight, colder ones. This impression, if desired, can be enhanced or, on the contrary, muted by choosing the appropriate colors of Christmas tree decorations in warm or cold tones.
Proportions
Spacious rooms with wide windows and good light allow the use of many fairly large decorations - large balls, wide ribbons. In small rooms, consider buying smaller toys. Due to the balanced interaction of elements in the room, the tree will look more harmonious.
Stand and accessories
When buying a Christmas tree, you should think about how and what it will be mounted on. Appearance will complement the image of a Christmas tree, but an ordinary cross or a bucket of water can greatly ruin it. In this case, it is worth considering how to close the stand. Firstly, for beauty, and secondly, to close access to it for pets, if you have one.
For this purpose, you can use artificial snow, a special rug-cover or fabric, which is combined in color and texture with the rest of the materials. In the same way, you can hide the wires of electric strings.
In this photo, the stand does not stand out against the general background, since it is decorated with a special fabric.

An old legend tells that on the day of the birth of the baby Jesus, all the plants of the earth came to worship him and brought their gifts. The spruce came last and for a long time did not dare to approach the baby, fearing to prick him. She had nothing to give as a gift except sticky tar and tough bumps. Then the trees and plants shared their gifts with the timid spruce, and it shone with bright balls, rang the bells and went up to Jesus. The baby smiled, and the star of Bethlehem shone over the top of the spruce. That is why, according to this legend, it is the Christmas tree that is decorated for the New Year.

- Decorate the tree with the included garland... In this case, it will be better to see where which light will lie, and what it will highlight.
- For big ate choose large balls, small ones on it will look ridiculous.
- Large parts are hung first, evenly distributing around the entire perimeter (it is advisable to decorate the bottom of the tree with large elements). Then more small toys filling the empty space and preparing the tree for the New Year.
- Desirable do not place identical toys next to each other unless it is conceived by the concept.
- The final stage will be tinsel, beads, rain, sparkles.

Street tree decoration
It's great if you have a Christmas tree growing on the street (at least in the courtyard of a private house or in the country). In this case, you can decorate the yard and turn it into a real fairy tale.
Choosing a Christmas decoration for street tree, you need to focus on two things:
- Security... This mainly concerns the use of a garland. Only use appliances that are designed for outdoor use. Also, do not leave the device switched on unattended.
- Sustainability... Try to fasten the "outfit" as tightly as possible so that during snow, rain and wind they could not fall or damage your tree.
Christmas decorations for a street tree can be purchased or made by hand. In general, all of the above recommendations and tips apply to the street beauty. The only thing - crafts made of fabric, paper are not suitable(there is a risk that they will deteriorate due to precipitation, wind).
Advice! You cannot cope with such a difficult task alone (especially if the tree is rather big). So, invite guests, relatives, kids to decorate and create a beautiful and original composition for the New Year together.
In many families, decorating the New Year tree is a whole tradition, a ritual, a notification that the holiday holidays will begin soon, that the New Year 2020 will be soon. This is especially pleasing to the kids who like to help decorate the green beauty, hang balls on her, pull sweets. It's fun and brings the family together. I hope the tips and tricks will help you decorate your Christmas tree in a fun and beautiful way!

Many people notice that the older they get, the more difficult it is to re-experience that magical feeling of a fairy tale and miracle that always came to us in childhood on New Year's Eve.
But we are in site sure - the New Year mood will not keep you waiting if with my own hands craft one of these wonderful home and tree decorations. Almost all, with the exception of two or three, do not require much time and any special materials - they can be made in half an hour from what is at hand.
Thread sprockets
A wreath of balls and an old hanger
In just half an hour, you can make a colorful wreath by buying a couple of sets of inexpensive balls. Blogger Jennifer, the author of this article, recommends unbending an old hanger, but if you don't have one, a piece of sturdy wire is perfect.
- You will need: a pair of sets of balls (20-25 balls different colors and sizes), wire hanger or wire, fir branches, braid or ready-made decoration for decorating a wreath.
Snowflake tablecloth
A delicate and surprisingly festive tablecloth will turn out from snowflakes, on which we have stuffed our hands since childhood. You can sit down and cut snowflakes with the whole family, and then lay them out on the table and fasten them with small pieces of tape. A great solution for receiving guests or just dining with your family during the holidays.
Multi-colored beanies
The cutest colored hats can be made from leftover yarn, which can be used to make a garland for a Christmas tree or to decorate a wall. Or hang them on a window or chandelier at different levels. Children over the age of five will do just fine with this simple decoration too. See details.
- You will need: sleeve toilet paper for rings (or ordinary cardboard or thick paper), scissors, multi-colored yarn and a good mood.
Lamp "Snowy City"
For this charming lamp, you need to measure a piece of paper around the circumference of the can with a small margin (to glue it together), depict and cut out the simplest city or forest landscape. Wrap around the jar, and put a candle inside.
- You will need: a jar, thick paper of any color, you can white, any candle. Alternatively, you can coat the top of the can with "falling snow" using a special "snow" spray that is sold in hobby stores.
Balloons with photos
A great idea for decorating a Christmas tree or for a gift to relatives and friends. The photo must be rolled up into a tube so that it goes into the hole in the ball, and then straighten it with a wooden stick or tweezers. Small black and white rectangular shots will do, and you can also cut out a photo to fit a ball or silhouette (like with a cat in the snow).
- You will need: plastic or glass balls, photographs, various sundries to fill the ball - tinsel, garlands, coarse salt (for snow).
Christmas lamps
And this miracle is a matter of five minutes. It is enough to collect balls, fir branches, cones and put them in a transparent vase (or a pretty jar) and supplement with glowing garlands.
Embers
Glowing garlands hidden among cones, branches and pine paws create the effect of embers smoldering in the fireplace or a cozy fire. They even seem to give off a fever. For this purpose, a basket that has been lying on the balcony for a hundred years, a nice bucket or, for example, a wicker container for small things from Ikea, will do. Everything else (except for the garland, of course) you will find in the park.
Floating candles
A very simple decoration for New Year's table or for a cozy evening with friends in new year holidays- composition with candles floating in a vessel with water, cranberries and pine twigs. You can use cones, orange circles, fresh flowers and leaves from a flower shop - whatever your fantasy tells you. And as a candlestick - deep plates, vases, jars, glasses, as long as they are transparent.
Snowman on the fridge or door
Children will definitely be delighted with this - quickly, fun and very simple, because even a three-year-old can handle cutting out large parts. It is enough to cut the circles, nose and scarf out of self-adhesive paper, brown paper or colored cardboard and attach them to regular or double-sided tape.
Snowflakes on the window
An interesting use for a glue gun lying around. In order to glue these snowflakes to the glass, it is enough to lightly press them to the surface. For details, see our video.
- You will need: a stencil with a snowflake drawn with a black marker, tracing paper (parchment, baking paper), a glue gun and a little patience.
Christmas trees-sweets
Bright Christmas trees can be built with kids for children's party or decorate with them festive table... Cut triangles out of colored paper or cardboard, tape them to a toothpick, and stick the resulting Christmas trees into the candy.
- You will need: Hershey's Kisses or any other truffle candies, toothpicks, scotch tape, colored paper or cardboard with a picture.
Garland with pictures and drawings
New Year, Christmas - warm, family holidays. And it will come in handy with photographs, children's drawings, pictures. The easiest way to secure them is with clothespins, which can be decorated with hearts or snowflakes.

Painted spoons
Ordinary metal spoons or wooden cooking spoons turn into interesting New Year decorations using acrylic paints. This idea will surely appeal to children.
