The coming 2021 will pass under the sign of the Metal White Bull. The owner of the year does not tolerate artificial things, flashy bright colors and an abundance of small chaotic details. To attract good luck and success in New Year's decor, you need to play with the colors inherent in the iconic animal. In 2021, these are all shades of grass and water, as well as white, metallic and black.
Compositions of colored balls
Christmas balls can be used not only to decorate an evergreen tree. A shiny element can become an independent holiday attribute or part of a larger composition. For example:
- Balls of two colors on shiny ribbons are easy to hang around the window at the same or different heights. In this case, you can place protrusions with the symbol of the New Year on the glass.
- Place large and medium-sized balls in wide vases and tall transparent flasks. Complete the composition with beads, ribbons and colored rhinestones.
- Dry the branch, decorate with balls and place the ikebana in an empty vase or container filled with stones. The decor is suitable for decorating a room in a fashionable high-tech style.
Fairy lights
To create a feeling of magic and celebration in a room on a budget and simply, you need to pay attention to garlands with numerous glowing bulbs or figures. Best options:
- In doorways, garlands with flowing chains and glittering figures look impressive.
- It is better to hang a large mesh not on the window, but attach it to the ceiling with glue dots or tape to create the effect of a starry sky.
- A shimmering curtain with lights placed on a window will improve the mood of the owners and neighbors of the house.
- To make a spectacular lantern, you need to wrap a long garland around a large glass goblet with a stem or other shaped container.
Felt toys
Simple toys cut out of felt, snowflakes and snowballs made from pompoms will help add positivity to the room.
Merry characters must be cut out from felt in two copies, sewn together, decorated with beads, scarves, hats and sparkles.
Sewn owls, bulls, Santa Clauses or snow-covered huts are especially suitable for the holiday. Cheerful and funny characters can be easily seated under the Christmas tree, each animal can be placed near the guest as a surprise, or seated on window sills illuminated by garland lights.
Christmas wreaths
Traditional American decorations include bright and spectacular wreaths made from natural and artificial materials. They can be placed outside on the front door or hung on the interior door leaf. Options:
- The classic version is a wreath of spruce branches woven on a dense basis, decorated with toys, beads and balls.
- The wreath will be woven from thin vine or straw, which the Ox will especially like.
- The decoration looks especially impressive from tightly packed Christmas tree balls of different sizes.
- The wreath will become especially original if you use dried orange slices, cinnamon sticks, viburnum and rose hips when making it.
Vases
Large and small flower pots can be placed outside and inside the house.It is better if they are decorated in the same style. Place fir branches, ikebana, and figures of Santa Claus or Snowmen in pots. To create the effect of weightlessness, the branches can be decorated with serpentine and Christmas tree decorations.
Candles
New Year's bright compositions made of candles create a special comfort, warmth and solemn atmosphere. Even a few candles lit on the fireplace or on the New Year's table will be an appropriate addition to the festive decoration. Beautiful candlesticks can be easily made from jars and tall glasses with stems. A homemade decor made from a wooden log with candles inserted into it, decorated with shiny coating, beads, fresh flowers or sprigs of greenery, looks original. It is important that the candlesticks are stable and that the use of candles does not lead to a fire.
New Year's socks
Colorful decorative socks hung by the fireplace are considered a traditional addition to festive European decor. You can easily make roomy boots with your own hands by cutting and sewing them from felt according to a template. You should also stretch a garland between the socks so that the composition sparkles attractively in the evenings. If there is no fireplace at home, the boots can be hung on the Christmas tree, nailed to the wall, or placed along the staircase railing.
Photozone
To capture the best moments of the holiday, it is advisable to take care of a beautiful themed photo zone in advance. The easiest way is to print out a background image of Santa's sleigh in poster format and stick it on the wall. Next to it, glue a garland and cotton wool clouds onto tape. Make an invisible transition from the wall to the floor to connect the surfaces.An alternative could be a stylized place near the fireplace or a rocking chair with a cozy blanket, a stylish Christmas tree and lanterns.
Window painting
To create unusual patterns on windows, you can involve representatives of all generations in the family. These can be thematic pictures, patterns or entire collages. You can draw on glass using materials such as:
- white toothpaste;
- stencils;
- new sponge;
- water;
- toothpicks;
- bowl;
- scotch.
How to make a painting yourself? Roll up the sponge, wrap it with tape and dip it in toothpaste diluted in water. Apply the design to the window using a stencil or a brush. Draw small details of the image with a toothpick. The advantage of this method is that the paste can be easily washed off after the holiday.
Chandeliers
You can decorate chandeliers for the New Year with almost all types of holiday paraphernalia. Better options:
- Place glass balls on beautiful ribbons at different heights.
- Decorate the horns with symbols of the year, serpentine, rain and snowflakes.
- Cut out several ballerinas from white paper according to a template, cut out a pack from blue paper or napkins and put on the blank, hang on a fishing line, decorate with lumps of cotton wool or small stars.
Simple and affordable decor options will make the New Year 2021 bright and unforgettable. It is important to take care of the tastes of the owner of the year: give preference to natural textures and calm colors, do not use flashy red shades and focus on simplicity of design. The design should be in harmony with the decor of the house, emphasize the beauty of the Christmas tree and delight all household members.
