Did not have time last year with the New Year’s design, and this year almost with laziness. So Christmas flew by, it’s good that the New Year has not yet. You can even mark the oriental calendar. It’s time to freshen up the faded decorations for the Christmas tree and at home.
If you lay it all out on the shelves, the Christmas-tree interior comes in three varieties: ordinary-modern, old-fashioned and extraordinary. Guess which one’s the most interesting??
Honestly, it’s not fair to ask so, all the beauty is in each of the kinds in the decor. Beautiful antique Christmas tree decorations, like on pre-revolutionary postcards: cones and gilded nuts, gingerbread and candy. However, Soviet Christmas decorations, the 70’s would also fit into the retro style. Maybe who remembers: streamers, glass beads and paper flags, of course, the red star on top of the tree. These uncomplicated treasures are kept by many grandparents, because it’s a pity to throw away, and “to decorate the house is all for the sake of the children. Don’t forget the special, festive lighting. You can look for something suitable on the elektrika website.
Common-modern decorations, presented in colorful in the pre-New Year’s issues of all magazines. For example, you can hang the Christmas tree and the apartment with tinsel and balls of only one color. Or miniature tigers – with an eye on the horoscope. Or save a living tree and make its likeness on the wall – rock art, XXI century, tinsel, wallpaper. I’m not kidding you, such decorations are also good if made with love.
Remains the last type of interior – extraordinary, so I call the absolutely incredible decorations and those that are made by hand and at that – skillfully. If the snowflakes on the windows are three-dimensional, if the stars under the ceiling, then they are rustling and shiny. There is a special charm in self-made, don’t even ask why.
I’m already itching to do something beautiful. I generally like paper, I want to make a couple of balls in the technique of origami. The balls have an exotic name – kusudamy. One kusudama I made – out of candy wrappers and foil.
Oh, by the way, and now I have a Christmas tree decorated with salt dough toys. Many toys, already “played” – the house at first was a hut on chicken legs, and the angel is not so ruffled.
To decorate the house and Christmas tree with unusual items – this is another option for unique decor in your own home. For example, a friend told me that instead of toys it is possible to take playing cards. And instead of flags do and mittens, not necessarily use the real – most importantly, connect to everything imaginative.
Christmas and New Year’s Eve is a time for decorating the house, but also for special drinks and dishes. When it’s cold outside, it’s more pleasant to drink hot mulled wine than champagne with ice. For three years I have been making “smoldering wine” myself, and the recipe I found on the Internet.
