How to decorate a house for a holiday:

In the decoration of rooms and table must be presentthings made of metal: silver glasses, metal horn, metal-ceramic decorations. It is good to make toys on your Christmas tree and make secret desires.

New Year's holidays are a great opportunity to show your talent as a designer.

You should start from the corridor, as it is hereyou will meet your guests, Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. To decorate the corridor fit large fir branches in a large outdoor vase, decorative candles, colored balls, joking inscription, greeting guests.

The kitchen can also be decorated with a fragrant spruce branch, and a loaf or saltcellar bandage with a bright satin ribbon.

To give the room a more festivemood, decorate it with serpentine, balloons, Christmas toys, etc. Grapes of serpentine are suspended from a chandelier, cast on pictures or fastened to a wall or ceiling. Very colorful colored balloons look very decorative, if they are gathered in a large bouquet, suspended under a chandelier or attached to a wall at different heights. And although, of course, the main decoration of the apartment is a smart Christmas tree, you can get by with green branches, making up of them winter bouquets or New Year's compositions.

Spruce branches can be fixed on a bookshelf, forpicture, just to pin to the wall. Decorate these branches with Christmas decorations, silver threads, ribbons, bows, fasten them with Christmas tree candles. Suitable branches of any coniferous tree (spruce, pine, tui, cypress).

And you can offer to children their dear heartfun - let them paint the windows and glass doors in your house with New Year's patterns. Only first agree with them that then they will help you clean the glasses of paint. And the paint should be the simplest - watercolor or gouache. Oily you hardly scrape off the glasses.

What to draw? Let the children think for themselves, give them freedom, but look at them from time to time, what they do there, it will be better for them and for you. Windows and doors can be decorated with rows of icicles. To do this, take a strip of white paper and draw contours of icicles at the edges. They can be slightly painted with a pale blue watercolor on both sides.

Then cut and bend the strip so that the bottomthe row was visible from under the top. You can suggest drawing on Santa Claus, Father Frost, Snegurochka, hares, squirrels, wolves, other forest animals and, of course, a Christmas tree. Let them completely sketch the Whatman, and then you will decorate this collective masterpiece with a wall!

Artfully tied bows and soft draperyribbons will make your house even more festive. And to make them simple. Cut out the strips of desired length from the coarse band, bend the sections and lay a zigzag line on them. In the "kulisku", formed by stitches of zigzag stitches, thread a thin wire so that the bows keep the shape. On the tapes you can draw peas, stars, other figures. And you can do it differently.

Even easier, but no less beautiful. Cut the checkered fabric and cloth into polka dots into strips, tie each strip with a bow, apply a starch on the fabric with a brush, and fill the cuffs with cotton. Beautifully look so-called openwork balls. Wind the inflated ball with threads, preferably thick. Then they are smeared with starch paste (or a saturated solution of sugar) and allowed to dry well.

The air is released from the ball, and the frame, adorned with coniferous branches and tinsel, is suspended from the ceiling.

Add "gold" and "silver" trinkets in a vase of fruit and nuts. From this vase will become unusually spectacular.

New year has come, and with it - and a new period. Therefore, it will be successful to celebrate the New Year in new clothes.
