This is the most magical time of the year ...
Before the most New Year's and wonderful night of the year, it is necessary to proceed to decorate your home. For a whole year boxes with New Year paraphernalia stood on the mezzanine, and now is the time to get them! Take out the Christmas tree toys, hang the garlands, arrange Christmas installations and various themed figurines on the shelves.

Christmas paraphernalia is incredibly important for creating a special atmosphere in your home. Until you have installed a beautiful Christmas tree in the place of honor in the apartment, proceed to decorate the house with the help of purchased and home-made decorations.
Paper garlands - simple and beautiful
Agree, in order to feel the approach of the holiday, it is enough to decorate the house with winter decorations, for example, garlands. Hang an electric garland around the room. It is best to use battery-powered devices, as they are independent of the location of the power outlets in the rooms and save your energy costs. If you do not have such garlands, provide your wired jewelry with access to outlets.
After you have decorated the room with purchased garlands, proceed to create your own Christmas attributes. The simplest and most cost-effective paper garlands will be. You can create completely different decorations, wielding only with scissors, sparkles and glue, sometimes adding a stapler to your assistants. From paper you can create a wide variety of garlands - in the form of rings (as we were taught in childhood), snowflakes, Christmas trees, snowmen, as well as any other shapes. In addition to the shape, you can also choose the color, and the presence or absence of sparkles.
Needles in home decoration
New Year's attributes are not only something from artificial materials, but also various wreaths and garlands from coniferous branches. It is this smell that we associate with the onset of the New Year, and even products from this material bring comfort and warmth to the house.
In order to create an ornament of fir branches that will last you several weeks, you need to tie small twigs to the base of wire, cardboard or polystyrene using a fishing line or rope. After that, add some bright ribbons, small toys and artificial snow from the spray can to the ends of the branches, creating a truly Christmas decoration. You can hang such a garland or wreath above the door or fireplace and on the railing of the stairs, if you live in a private house.
Symbol of 2018: usefully
In 2018, the Yellow Earth Dog became the symbol. That is why you can choose toys and decorations for rooms in yellow, brown, orange, and also in gold to appease the patroness of the year. It will be a rather interesting decision to add several gingerbreads in the form of a bone or a dog's face to the tree. Since the element of this symbol is Earth, then the decoration should be as “mundane" as possible, not spiritual. Add to the Christmas tree gold ornaments, a few notes tied with a rope. It will also be nice if you make Christmas attributes from beads - balls, golden stars - and hang them on a Christmas tree.
