We create a festive mood in the house: do-it-yourself garlands for the New Year photo

Tinsel has long gone out of fashion, but what you should try to do is wonderful DIY garlands for the New Year. The photo and instructions for making them were selected by the homemaster.techinfus.com/en/ editorial staff in order not only to share them, but also to use them themselves - everyone wants to celebrate such an important holiday in a beautifully dressed apartment.

DIY decoration will distinguish your home from others

What is a garland for, and what is its role in the design of the New Year's design

The article will focus not only on electric flashlights, which flash so temptingly and promise a particularly festive mood. In addition to such products, garlands of different materials are used in the design. Each offers its own emphasis on the New Year theme.

Colored paper becomes a great tool

Bright ribbons and beads are a great decor in themselves.

Making vertical garlands easier

It is difficult to convey in words the feeling of coziness and warmth that the combination of a Christmas tree, a fireplace and glowing garlands gives rise to in us

Such New Year's products can become not just an accent, but also a wonderful background for the holiday.

We start making Christmas paper garlands with our own hands

As a child, everyone saw on New Year's Eve a traditional garland of paper rings.A kid in a kindergarten can make such a chain today, but we are interested in more interesting products. Paper is the very material that is cheap and very simple and convenient to work with. Therefore, we arm ourselves with scissors, high-quality glue, a simple pencil and sit down to the exciting work all together.

Garland symbolizing Christmas trees

Well, how without the main symbol of the New Year and Christmas? Let all the laurels go to a real coniferous tree, but we can decorate any room with small paper Christmas trees.

Old books look quite vintage in this guise: for greater decorativeness, the edges of the Christmas trees can be treated with gouache or spray paint

Corrugated paper is used here as well. Half-beads serve as a decoration for a stylized Christmas tree

The brushes themselves resemble a herringbone. If you hang many bright colorful brushes in a row, then it is easy to significantly transform the design of the room.

Brushes are best made from corrugated paper

It takes very little time to create decorations in the form of a Christmas tree, but this is the task to which you can attract both an adult and a child.

A garland of paper circles: add bright spots to the decor

A garland of paper circles is made not only by their own hands, but also by children: it is useful for younger households to master the technique of cutting out circles and semicircles. In addition, they will see the result of their own efforts and feel the general admiration for the decoration.

Depending on the interior of the house, they are puzzled by the choice of color

The brightest paper colors are suitable for the nursery

The main task is to cut a large number of circles, either the same or different sizes.

To create a template, we will use the bottom of any glass. We cut out the template, fold several sheets of paper with each other, and, attaching the blank, we circle it. We keep all the sheets together, thus, cutting out one outlined circle, we get several small ones at once. If a figured hole punch with a suitable shape is available, this greatly simplifies the task.

Having prepared the mugs, they are connected to each other. Or it is done with glue and a long thread, or simply by stitching all the circles on a sewing machine

There is another option for using multi-colored paper circles. Under the line, the machines put not one workpiece, but several at once, tightly pressed against each other.

You only need to bend the edges of the circles in different directions, and the volumetric garland is ready

Paper accordion garland

With the help of two stripes of different colors, you can create a very original craft: such a non-standard accordion folds and stretches. To make a long accordion, you will need many strips of colored paper.

You can arrange colors in any order

We take two narrow and long strips, and apply them with their tips perpendicular to each other. We glue the tips with PVA. We begin to bend the strips onto each other. As soon as the strip ends, we glue a new one to it

Garlands made of corrugated paper, quilling technique, paper snowflakes

Soft corrugated paper just asks for a craft, and the richness of colors and length allows you to use such material for New Year's decor.

Bright corrugated paper garlands

Almost everyone loves to cut snowflakes, so we sit down everyone who passed by for such a pleasant activity, and we ourselves connect the snowflakes with glue and threads either vertically or horizontally

Quilling is applicable not only for postcards.Many narrow long stripes easily twist into elements and patterns, which are then assembled into original unique snowflakes. But the snowflakes themselves are connected into garlands.

The vertically hung product looks fabulous

The assembly process requires perseverance

Origami garland

We offer a small master class on creating paper garlands using the origami technique.

Illustration	Action Description
	We cut the squares of double-sided colored paper to the same size. We fold each square in half.
	Fold back the half and fold it as in the photo.
	We bend the other half not to the middle, but grabbing it.
	Expand the envelope and glue the junction with glue. Fold the workpiece in half again and glue it. Cut off the two corners opposite from the fold with scissors.
	We grease each of the six triangles in the middle with glue and connect them to each other.
	Grease the last triangle with glue and connect it to the first. It turns out a star.
	We unfold the resulting six-pointed star, each free tip slightly bend in one direction.
	This is what the garland will look like. Each star is stitched through with a thread-based needle.

There is another example of how to decorate a room using origami paper.

Thanks to clear diagrams, they make it possible to reveal all the secrets of paper

Have a fancy fabric? Great, you can also make a Christmas garland out of it with your own hands!

Whatever the type of fabric, but if its color matches your wishes and the theme of the New Year, then we put the matter into action. To do this, we will prepare needles, threads, the material itself, a sewing machine or a lot of patience in the absence of one, cardboard for a template, a simple pencil and stuffing material.

We cut out the shape of a Christmas tree from the fabric, sew the edges on a typewriter, leaving the place for stuffing unsewn. We turn out the product, fill it with cotton wool, padding polyester, pieces of fabric and sew it up with a blind seam. We sew each tree to the braid by the crown

Unusual and soft garland for the new year made of felt

Those who have not tried to work with felt have missed a lot. It is impossible not to take advantage of such a rich color palette of not particularly expensive material that lends itself easily to scissors and a needle and thread. Depending on how the final product should turn out, a cardboard template and threads are selected. A floss is usually used if the stitches are applied by hand.

If you want to surprise your loved ones and hang hearts on the wall instead of Christmas trees, then you need a sewing machine and red felt. The whole task comes down to the fact that you need to make two machine seams and one manual, which will collect all the blanks in one garland

Cutting the strips of the same type of felt and stringing them onto a dense thread, you get an interesting product

Bright and pleasant to the touch garland

Christmas garland made from natural materials

If earlier cones and acorns were classified as natural materials for handicrafts, today nuts, cinnamon stars, sticks, mountain ash, dried fruits are also used. The main question is how to connect it all on one thread.

Using cones

It doesn't matter what kind of coniferous tree grows in the forest, where you will get the cones from: it is best to make a prefabricated hodgepodge of cedar, spruce, pine and larch cones.

Cones are easy to paint with a spray, gouache, acrylic, grease with glue and sprinkle with glitter

Glue is applied to the leg of the cone (carpentry or for ceiling tiles) and glued to the twine

There is another option for attaching the cones to the rope: it is easy to screw a small hook into the cone with pliers.All that remains is to pass the rope through this hook, and you can immediately hang the decoration

Motley buds look atmospheric

Other natural material

What else to use as a Christmas and New Year decoration? Let's go on a foray not only into the forest, but also on the refrigerator and kitchen shelves!

Stars are cut out of wood, with a drill or just glue, they attach products to the rope

The dried fruit is prepared in the oven. They remain in this state for a long time and are easily attached to the thread.

Interesting solutions for making a New Year's garland

The paper is not limited to a set of colorful sheets for children's crafts. Although it too, as you saw above, can be used in different ways.

The rest of the paper is put into action, cutting out any figures

Cards are often made from scrap paper and additional elements. But from such holiday cards you can collect a stunningly beautiful garland

Specially created elements: scrapbooking paper and decor. All of these are sold in craft stores or ordered through online stores. The total cost of the product will be rather big, but it's worth it

Pompons made of woolen threads do not last long. Instead of bear figures, you can take large beads, cardboard figures, felt, cones

How to make a DIY decoration using an LED garland for the New Year

Using an LED garland as a basis and spending some time on work with your own hands, the apartment is turned into a New Year's miracle thanks to various ideas. The main methods for such decoration are with tulle or organza, ping-pong balls and plastic cups.

Using tulle for decoration

Everyone can decorate an electric garland with their own hands. To do this, you will need the remnants of tulle or organza: we wrap each light bulb in a shred and tie it, as if in a bag.

This is an extremely delicate decor that can be used in the living room or bedroom

Decorating LEDs with ping-pong balls

How easy it is to bring a garland of light bulbs to perfection with your own hands! We purchase a box of ping-pong balls and make a small cross-shaped incision in each.

We count the balls by the number of bulbs. To help we take either a clerical knife, or a knife for curly paper cutting

Insert a light bulb inside each ball. To be sure, grab it at the base with a drop of hot glue. A drop means a drop, do we want to damage an electrical product?

The decor becomes magical!

LED decor with a ball cocoon

An interesting master class on the miraculous transformation of a simple inflatable ball into a gorgeous festive glowing garland.

Illustration	Action Description
	For work, we will prepare PVA, hand cream, multi-colored skeins of thick thread, a set of balloons (or a set of endless patience, if you want to use the same one). Inflate the ball (balls) and lubricate it with cream.
	Put enough glue on your palm and pass the thread through it. We wrap the ball.
	We make the winding in a chaotic manner along the entire circumference.
	You should get such a thickly wrapped copy.
	Let's leave the balls alone for three hours. When the glue is completely dry, either pierce the ball with a needle and take out its remnants, or untie the puck and carefully take it out whole and inflate it again.
	We insert a light bulb from a garland inside each blank.
	This is how a ball with several LEDs will look like.
	The longer the garland, the more beautiful the decor.

If you inflate several balloons at once, then the whole work will not take much time.

White blanks are as good as colored blanks

Decorating LEDs with paper cups

Penny plastic cups combined with scrapbooking paper work wonders.

Illustration	Action Description
	Let's prepare several sheets of different paper, glue, scissors, a bunch of plastic cups.
	Cut off the bottom from one cup and cut the future template vertically.
	We also remove the edge from which they drink.
	The result is a template.
	We apply the template to the paper and cut the required number of blanks according to its shape.
	We wrap each cup in a blank and glue it.
	We make a cruciform incision on the bottom of each glass.
	Insert one light bulb into the slot.
	Done!

We hope that our material was informative and useful!
