In the festive season, I want to decorate everything around: a Christmas tree, an apartment, a yard and a garden. Of course, shops offer decorative products for every taste. Unfortunately, their cost flies a pretty penny. But you can save money and make street Christmas decorations with your own hands - the cost of their manufacture is most often minimal. The main thing is to connect imagination and imagination. If there are no ideas, read the article in which we will tell and show several options for a budget decor.
Classics of the genre
Wreaths are very common Christmas decorations. Street entrance doors will be transformed with the help of such decor and will give a festive mood right from the doorstep. A beautiful wreath of cones will cost very cheaply .
It was improperly made simply - they took a hanger from a wire as a basis, bent it into a circle. Then plastic rings were glued to the cones and strung them on a wire. Decorated with a large bow and artificial snow. In a similar way, a bright wreath is made, as shown in the photograph below.
Of course, its cost will be higher, but the manufacturing process is even simpler - after all, the balls already have a loop with which they can be strung on an unbent wire hanger.
New life of old things
Did you make repairs recently? If you still have pieces of PVC pipes of different diameters, then do not throw them away - they will make beautiful New Year decorations. Street wreaths made of plastic will last more than one year without losing their aesthetic appearance. For their manufacture, it is necessary to cut pipes of different diameters into pieces of the same length and glue them together with strong glue. Then you need to drill holes in the 2 side elements to thread a strong rope or chain to hang jewelry.
In order for it to completely cease to give out its ignoble origin, the wreath must be painted with golden paint and glued balls inside the pipes. But what if you liked this idea, but there are no materials? Use cardboard tubes, which serve as the basis for rolls of toilet paper or kitchen towels. Of course, such a wreath will last only one season, but it can be easily made without special tools.
Natural materials
If there is a small forest near your house, then you can make street Christmas decorations with your own hands for nothing. From large cones you can make not only a wreath, but also a long garland that will decorate the front door. Just fix them on the wire with glued plastic rings and add beautiful ribbons, light unbreakable balls, artificial berries.
An empty bucket can be turned into an original flowerpot. For a deliberately rough, rustic look, put long poles, spruce branches and cones in it. For a more festive look, add toys, a ribbon on the rim and a garland to beautifully highlight the contents of the bucket from the inside. And so that the composition is not “tied” to a power outlet, you can use small candles with LED-LEDs that operate on battery power.
Comfort and warmth
The flame of candles in winter acquires special beauty and charm. For example, directly for the New Year’s Eve, you can make elegant and beautiful New Year’s street decorations with them. Photos of possible options are presented below.
If you have thuja or boxwood on the plot, then you can break a few twigs, take glass glasses, put a thick candle in them and fill it with a layer of salt and red berries. Shortly before the chiming clock, light the candles: now you are ready to celebrate the New Year and start the fireworks.
And you can give a new life to an empty jar. Using acrylics and artificial snow, it’s quite easy to draw a snowy town, and a few small candles inside will fill it with a warm glow. Such jars are conveniently rearranged and create different compositions with them. If you make loops of wire around the neck of cans, then they can be worn like a flashlight. Just do not forget that artificial snow is a combustible substance, so spray it only on the outside of the glass.
Magical atmosphere
Shining lights are perhaps the most spectacular Christmas decorations. Street garlands instantly transform the look of the house from the outside and create an amazing atmosphere on New Year's Eve. The classic of the genre is to decorate the house along the contour of the lights, but there are several more original solutions.
With the help of several empty beer bottles, you can effectively draw a path to the porch of the house - push a part of the garland through the neck of the bottle, leave it to sag for about a meter and decorate the bottle again. So, the wire will not touch the ground and will not be damaged by moisture.
You can make the so-called garage tree - on the garage door, make a tree outline from a long garland and stick some light plastic balls with adhesive tape. A large red bow will decorate the composition and give it completeness.
If a live Christmas tree grows in your yard, generously wrap it with a garland.
Custom approach
It is not necessary to buy new things to make New Year's street decorations for the home. As you can see, sometimes you can use seemingly unnecessary items and accessories. For example, from individual boards or pallets, you can make the original Christmas tree, shown below.
She is not afraid of snow and rain. Such a Christmas tree will serve more than one season. Another non-standard example of using old pieces of wood is chunks-snowmen. To color them, you do not need to be an artist. In addition, from scraps of fabric, you can make beautiful clothes for them.
DIY New Year's street decorations made of cardboard cannot boast such durability as a pallet Christmas tree or a wreath of pipes, but this does not mean that you can forget about them. Large boxes can be wrapped with beautiful foil paper and decorated with bows from floral ribbons. With such protection, cardboard will not get wet during the holidays. Old tires also took pride of place in street decor. But in the form of huge balls, you probably have not met them yet.
To make such street Christmas decorations with your own hands, you have to cut a circle out of plywood. They need to close the inside of the wheel. Then paint everything in a beautiful elegant color and use patterns to paint. As you can see, with little cost you can make beautiful New Year decorations. Street elements of home decor are a great way to share a holiday with others, create a special atmosphere and just reveal your creativity.
