I am a cheerful snowman, I’m used to snow and cold. I’m bringing the sleds to the guys, you all need to go for a ride.

Winter has come and we wanted to please our children with beautiful and interesting figures. I decided to create a “New Year's multi-studio”. So on our site appeared the Traveling Frog, Varvara the beautiful long braid, the Handsome Whale, and what a wonderful thing we have turned out to be Levushka the big head. Children really like him. The most important queen of our ball, of course, was the Dereza Goat. She took pride of place at the center of our site. A cheerful snowman is carrying a beautiful painted sleigh, and nearby a beautiful fairy-tale ship is floating on the waves, next to which majestic swans are swimming. Our children were simply delighted when they saw such a fabulous miracle. Only in cartoons or fairy tales can you see all this at once on one playground. Children love to play and take pictures on our playground. And the parents’ surprise knew no bounds, even they wanted to touch everything .

Pre-New Year preparations most often affect only the interior of the house, but the area can also be easily decorated to create a festive mood. The choice of exterior decor is very wide and varied. We offer a selection of several of the most interesting, in our opinion, options.

Garlands are a special attribute of the New Year. In a garden or on a site, products made from natural materials, such as pine needles or cones, will look most harmonious. You can buy such jewelry or make it yourself.

You can show all your design talent in decorating your local area. Create a New Year's installation - it's easy. You can make it from an old sleigh, wicker baskets or a garden bench. Decorate these items with New Year's attributes - you're done.

New Year is a time when there simply isn’t a lot of LED lighting. Decorate trees, fences, bushes and even the house itself with it. There are luminous sculptures - great, they will complement the picture.

Frozen berries, seeds and fruits will help you decorate your area and take care of the birds. Fill them with cold water in a suitable mold, wait until they harden completely and hang them in the garden.

Ice decorations can contain absolutely any items, even openwork napkins. Choose the decor to your liking and make your site unique.

Candles in the snow look incredibly impressive. If you have a suitable flashlight, you can place a candle directly in it; if not, make candlesticks from scrap materials. For example, cans, pouring a little snow and rowan there.

Snowmen can be called a traditional decoration of the site. You don’t have to sculpt them at all – you can buy inflatable ones. Want to make your own snowmen? Move away from the standard ideas: use candy canes instead of branches or even put a snowman on your head.

The colorful ice sculptures are very beautiful. Fill the ball with the colored liquid, let it freeze, and then remove the mold. Regular balls are boring, but what about ice hands? The principle of their creation is the same, only a glove is used instead of balls.

There is a Christmas tree on the property - great, decorate it with toys. No, it’s also not a problem, decorate ordinary trees. You can make toys an addition to garlands or LED lighting.

Hello, dear readers! Traditionally, about a week before the New Year, people begin to decorate the interior of the house, while completely forgetting about the decor of the yard. In fact, in Russia, decorating a site for a celebration is not yet a very common phenomenon, so why don’t each of us become trendsetters in New Year’s “yard” fashion. Just imagine, returning home, and a festive mood greets you in the courtyard of your own plot. In this connection, the topic of today’s review is “How to decorate your yard for the New Year.”

Snowmen made from tree cuts - simple and beautiful!

1. Decorate the area with bows.

If you want to give your area a truly festive and presentable look, decorate it with bows. You can make your own bows from packaging tape or purchase ready-made ones from gift wrapping departments. Bows can be attached to a fence, stair railing, outdoor wall lights, front door, lamp posts or flower pot stands.

2. Decor of street flowerpots.

Flowerpots can be decorated with fir branches, cones, walnuts, acorns or chestnuts, Christmas balls, bows or garlands. In addition, you can make a flowerpot yourself in the style of “Santa Claus”; for this you need to take a large tin can, paint it red, and “tighten” a black belt with a large plaque; you can put pine branches with rowan branches in the flowerpot.

3. Illumination of trees.

Garlands will help create a magical world on your site, but simple garlands will not work; you need to purchase special outdoor garlands. Have you purchased it? Okay, let’s take garlands and wrap them around the trunks of garden trees, and also distribute the “lights” symmetrically along the crown of the winter beauties. In addition, you can purchase glowing icicles, which should be symmetrically distributed among tree branches.

4. Children's sleigh.

An old sled can become a spectacular decoration for a site; you just need to present the idea correctly. In fact, it’s not at all difficult to create a composition, for example, we install a sled near the thresholds leading into the house, put a portable lantern on the sled, with a lit street candle, and place a bunch of fir branches here. You can see other examples in the photo below.

5. Spruce branches.

The symbol of the New Year holiday is a beautiful Christmas tree, so the entire yard can be decorated with spruce branches. It is better to buy artificial branches, firstly you will save nature, secondly they are more flexible, and thirdly they retain their original appearance (they do not wither). You can weave entire garlands from the branches, tightening the branches tightly with ordinary sewing threads, you can make a festive wreath or decorate flowerpots, windows, doors, and lamp posts with them.

6. Snow castles, fortresses, igloos.

If time allows, the whole family can go outside and make entire snow castles, build forts or igloos. Such snow castles will become a real decoration of your summer cottage.

7. Huge Christmas tree decorations.

I haven’t seen such toys on sale, but you can make similar balls yourself from thick balls (sold in office supply stores), pour small pebbles into the ball to weigh it down, inflate it, cut out snowflakes from napkins and glue them using PVA glue on the sides of the ball, then the product can be varnished. The top can be cut out of thick cardboard, cut out a wide strip, glue it into a ring, glue a lid (also cut out of cardboard) on top of this ring, make punctures in the lid, thread a suspension wire, and glue the finished top to the ball. In addition, the ball can be decorated with rain, tinsel or a lush bow.

8. Street decorations made of ice.

An excellent solution for site decoration. How to make colored ice balls? We take a balloon, pour in food coloring, pour in water, tie the ball, put it in the freezer if the refrigerator capacity allows, if not, take it out into the frosty street. After the water in the ball has hardened, we cut the shell of the ball, take out our ice products and get ready to decorate the garden area. In the case of ice cups, we carry out the entire operation described above, plus we add various elements to the glass - viburnum berries, rowan berries, bright leaves, etc., leave it in the cold until it freezes completely, bring it into the house, pour boiling water into a deep basin, and put the frozen water in it. glass, the ice will instantly melt and the ice glass will easily “come out” of the real glass. We decorate the yard for the New Year with ready-made ice elements; they can be scattered everywhere, even hung on trees.

9. Illumination of the house.

A house illuminated by the dancing lights of street garlands looks very impressive. Garlands can be scattered along the edge of the roof, decorate windows, doors, stair railings. Now on sale you can find ready-made luminous wire structures, these can be fairy-tale figures, Santa Claus's sleigh, reindeer in harness, etc. Such figures can be mounted on the roof of a house or near windows.

10. Decorating the front door of the house.

The holiday needs to be celebrated fully, so pay special attention to the front entrance to the house; it can be decorated with festive wreaths, compositions of fir branches, inflatable figures of Santa Claus or Father Frost, portable lanterns, bows or artificial Poinsettia flowers. Here you can give free rein to your creative potential; on the sides of the door you can install identical, beautifully decorated flowerpots or a miniature Christmas tree that will warmly welcome invited guests. Craftsmen can cut out plywood and paint soldiers faithfully guarding the path leading to the house, and don’t forget about the garlands, here they will look most successful!

11. Gift boxes.

In the yard you can place large cardboard boxes in beautiful packaging and spectacular bows. You can see examples of compositions below.

12. Hanging flowerpots.

A very effective type of decor for a site is hanging flowerpots. Such flowerpots are sold in garden departments, but they can be made independently, if you have elastic willow vines or thick wire in a sheath. You can decorate flowerpots with paper stars (we discussed how to make such stars and more in the article), large beads, artificial snowflakes, fir branches or wicker balls.

13. Festive wreaths.

In our country, such decoration is not yet in great demand, but it is still slowly gaining momentum in popularity. Holiday wreaths can be hung on the front door, railing or fence. How and from what to make a wreath yourself can be found in the article.

14. Garden wheelbarrows.

A magnificent composition can be created with the participation of a garden wheelbarrow, which should be decorated with fir branches, Christmas tree balls, rowan branches, and painted pine cones. You can install such a wheelbarrow right next to the thresholds; you definitely can’t hide such beauty!

15. Santa Claus's sleigh.

A real thematic decoration, such a sleigh can be ordered from carpenters or, if you have the skill and desire, you can create it yourself. A figure of Santa Claus or a “bag of gifts” would look appropriate in such a sleigh. In principle, if the sleigh will stand under the roof, on the veranda, it can be cut out of thick cardboard, which is then spray-painted and decorated with rhinestones (by analogy with sleighs made of paper for a Christmas tree, read the article).

16. Snowmen.

A snowman is a classic in the decor of a backyard area; without it, the image will seem incomplete, so we gather the whole family and set off to sculpt a snowman. In Russia, it is customary to decorate the head of this character with a bucket, try replacing the bucket with a knitted hat with the same scarf or choosing a top hat with a bow tie, any innovations are welcome!

17. Snowflakes.

Artificial snowflakes are sold everywhere, buy an unlimited number of plastic snowflakes, tie fishing line or thread to them, and hang them on trees, windows, fences, bushes, front door, etc.

18. Snowballs in a bucket.

We take a foam ball (sold in departments of all things for creativity), pierce it with a toothpick (we will hold the ball by it), cover it with an even layer of glue, and sprinkle it generously with artificial snow. We make the required number of snowballs and place them in a galvanized bucket.

19. Textile decorations.

Everything is simple here, we find old unnecessary things - mittens, knitted hats, scarves, socks, Santa Claus hats, and hang them around the site.

20. Glowing figures.

An excellent solution for decorating a site is luminous figures; such figures can be purchased or created independently; for this you need to prepare a frame of the figure from wire, which is finally wrapped with an outdoor garland.

New Year's decoration of the garden and home is a topic that is especially relevant at the beginning of winter. The fashion of decorating your homes for the New Year holidays arose, perhaps, from the moment they were proclaimed. This is how people sought to show their complicity with the holiday they were celebrating. People wove wreaths, made New Year's toys, and prepared “delicious” surprises. In recent years, in our country it has become increasingly popular to decorate a house not only from the inside, but also from the outside, as well as the entire territory adjacent to it. This is a beautiful and useful hobby that is worth talking about in more detail.

The magical fairy tale of the winter forest has always attracted the attention of enthusiastic dreamers. People unwittingly tried to copy the pristine beauty of nature in their garden, embellishing it in accordance with their ideas and preferences.

The dacha garden has long ceased to be the territory that was once proudly called “6 acres”. Today, it is more like a continuation of the house with its own rooms, zones and passages. Accordingly, you want to decorate all this for the holiday in the same way as the main house.

In the subconscious of even the most convinced materialist, there probably lives a vague hope that Santa Claus with gifts simply will not be able to pass by an elegant house and will definitely stop by.

The purpose of this article is to show the most interesting New Year's decoration options that have already been implemented by other people.

Perhaps some photographs will inspire you to create your own wonderful ideas, and inspired by the material you have viewed, you will realize even better decorating ideas. We will be happy to publish them. Send it!

Decorating the entrance to the house

The tradition of decorating the entrance to the house came to us from the West. In order for the New Year to want to come to you, you need to make the most favorable impression on him. That’s why good owners try to decorate it and illuminate it as much as possible. And the festive decor of the front door will hint to guests that they will be warmly welcomed here.

Decoration styles can vary from simple rustic to urban glamor.

Let the New Year notice your home from the street!

New Year's garlands

Fairy lights– a mandatory attribute of the winter holidays. Thanks to their diversity, the room or area in front of the house can be turned into a real fabulous art object.

And it doesn’t matter at all if your house doesn’t look like glamorous Western houses from the outside. A lovingly decorated home will always stand out from the rest, regardless of the amount invested in it.

LED garlands- perhaps the most common, which are used to decorate a wide variety of objects. There are types that are not afraid of moisture and frost, and therefore can be used to decorate the yard.

New Year's wreaths

New Year's wreaths occupy a special place in the decor of a festive winter home. They can be called a universal decorative element. They can be either tabletop or wall-mounted.

The tradition of decorating a house with wreaths also came to us from the West. History has preserved information for us when the Lutheran theologian Johann Hinrich Wichern, while teaching children, came up with a visual aid for counting the days before Christmas. The ancestor of the modern wreath was an ordinary wheel on which candles were placed in the number of days remaining before the holiday. At that time, such a “wreath” replaced the calendar. And only later it began to transform, and turned into a beautiful attribute of the New Year and Christmas holidays.

There are no limits to the imagination of decorators. Wreaths are decorated with fir branches, ribbons, toys, garlands, etc. Despite the fact that the Christmas wreath has lost its original meaning, it remains a true symbol of all New Year's holidays.

By the way, adherents of Feng Shui know that in the Chinese tradition, a wreath on the door is also of great importance. It attracts good forces into the house and scares away evil spirits.

Traditional coniferous wreaths can be decorated with candles, toys and even fresh flowers.

Wreaths decorated with berries or garlands seem to invite guests and good luck into the house, and speak of the hospitality of the owners.

Wreaths can be made from anything - from sweet marshmallows, from skeins of wool, or simply in the form of a donut.

This snow sculpture is also a must-have attribute of the winter garden. We all remember this cheerful companion of winter games from childhood. But he also has his own story. It is believed that the first snow figure was made by Michelangelo, the famous sculptor, architect and poet.

Today the snowman is a real symbol of the New Year holidays. But once upon a time snowmen were portrayed as evil and ferocious monsters. They were associated with harsh winters and all the troubles that accompany them. In old Europe it was even considered a bad omen to meet this snowman on the street.

In Rus', snowmen were considered the spirits of winter and were sculpted with due respect. They were begged for help and warmth. But since our ancestors believed that snowfalls and blizzards were controlled by female spirits, they tried to give the snowmen a female figure and called them snow women. It’s safe to say that snow women and the Snow Maiden are our “native” invention.

There is an old European parable that says that snowmen were made to protect against demons. According to another legend, snowmen are snow angels, since snow is a divine gift. In those days, it was believed that while sculpting you need to whisper your wish to him. Old-timers claimed that as soon as the snowman melts, the wish will come true.

Today, these snow figures are portrayed as real good-natured people and are an integral part of fun New Year's games.

By the way, everyone has a great opportunity to celebrate Snowman Day, which is celebrated annually on January 18th. Have time to whisper your wish to him.

Ice decorations for the garden

In order to add color, you can decorate it with various ice figures. Ideas can be drawn from anywhere. These can be either real ice sculptures or very simple crafts made from available materials. To make them, you need various molds, raw natural material and, of course, water for freezing. With a little imagination, you can create beautiful ice decorations for your garden.

Creating such an ice composition will require much more time and raw natural material. Ice compositions with flowers are especially effective. Fish (as in this case) is used, of course not live.

Professional ice sculptures can decorate not only the garden, but also the park.

Christmas trees

The tradition of decorating Christmas trees has come to us since biblical times. One of the legends says that when Jesus was born, everyone headed to Bethlehem - people, animals, and plants. The representative of the northern lands, the spruce, was in a hurry, but came last. It turned out that in her haste she forgot to bring gifts to the Savior. The spruce modestly stood aside and was embarrassed to approach. Then other plants began to give her their gifts - flowers and fruits. The decorated tree took courage and approached little Jesus. The kid smiled, and at that moment a star began to shine at the top of the fir tree.

Another legend is no less beautiful. When El wanted to approach Jesus, the proud palm tree did not let her in, saying that it was terrible with its thorns and sticky resin. The modest Christmas tree remained standing aside. The angel watching what was happening took pity on the shy beauty and rewarded her with sparkling stars. Little Jesus smiled and extended his hand to this magnificent coniferous tree. Since then, the spruce has been considered a symbol of Christmas.

The tradition of decorating Christmas trees has become so established over the past centuries that it is no longer possible to imagine the New Year holidays without it. Moreover, people are trying to increase the number of Christmas trees in their home. The main tree, under which all the gifts are usually placed, must be decorated. And many people also like to make small and not very original Christmas trees from a wide variety of available materials. In addition, a small Christmas tree - purchased or made with your own hands - is an excellent gift for family and friends.

If there is no room for a large Christmas tree, you can print it on fabric and decorate it like a real one.

Christmas stocking

This New Year's accessory is called differently - a Christmas stocking, boot or sock. This does not change the essence, but it has one meaning - it is a bag for gifts for the “Western Father Frost”, Santa Claus. Under our Christmas trees, Christmas stockings and traditional bags from our dear Father Frost sit side by side.

The tradition of hanging socks cannot be called originally Russian either. Although in recent years it has taken root well with us. However, over the last 100 years the tradition of “mixing traditions” can be called very democratic and very successful. When peoples take the best from each other, it only brings people and entire nations closer together.

According to legend, Saint Nicholas Santa Claus goes from house to house on Christmas night and throws gifts through the chimney. To prevent them from getting into the stove, stockings are hung on the fireplace. In a modern interpretation, it is allowed to place a sock under the Christmas tree or by the baby’s crib.

You can sew such stockings yourself from fabric that matches the design of the room.

New Year's fireplace

Usually, New Year's fireplace is the central object of the festive living room. In the Russian tradition, fireplaces were not so popular until recently. In our winter conditions, only Russian stoves could keep houses warm. However, recently fireplaces have begun to be installed more often. To a greater extent, they perform a decorative role.

Fireplace decoration before the New Year and Christmas is an exciting activity. During the holidays, every little thing can become mandatory to enhance the feeling of magic and wonder. The owner of a fireplace faces many questions when decorating it. For example, what style to choose for framing the fireplace, what colors and materials to choose, what toys to hang - purchased or homemade.

Having a mantel makes decorating a lot easier. You can put anything there - figurines, vases, candles, toys, a Christmas nativity scene, etc.

Framing the mantelpiece with live branches is also popular. You can weave tangerine fruits, flowers, olive branches, Christmas tree decorations and, of course, garlands into such branches.

If there is no mantelpiece, then the Christmas tree garland framed by the fireplace- almost obligatory, as it attracts the eye and makes the fireplace the main architectural object.

If your fireplace is located at some distance from the floor, then the area in front of it can be decorated with various holiday attributes - sleighs, candles, skins, Santa Claus figurines, etc.

Candles- an indispensable attribute of the New Year holidays. Even in everyday life, people often resort to fire magic. Even in ancient times, fire had a cleansing sacred meaning. And on a subconscious level, the candle remained a symbol of warmth and light. Therefore, it is not surprising that on the eve of the kindest, most mysterious and beloved holiday, candles occupy a special place in decorating the home and garden.

We offer you some ideas for decorating the interior with candles.
