The desire to decorate your home for the New Year is characteristic of almost every person. It is doubly more interesting not just to purchase ready-made decor, but to make something original on your own. We suggest going to the coniferous forest and preparing more cones for winter creativity. The homemaster.techinfus.com/en/ editorial team invites you to find out what you can do with your own New Year's crafts from cones, photos and tips from creative masters, as well as the pleasure of exploring beautiful creations.

General tips: how to make an original craft from ordinary cones

If a person's whole idea of ​​crafts made from gifts of spruce, larch, pine and cedar comes down to kindergarten hedgehogs, then it makes sense to expand the boundaries of his own horizons and be surprised at the beauty and grace of New Year's compositions made of cones.

This is a free material given by nature, which is always abundant under any coniferous tree.

There are many ways to use these gifts to benefit your apartment. Cones make:

Each type of work requires some preparation of the material and the selection of additional decorative elements.

Can bumps be whitened?

On the Internet, there are photos with the design of rooms, where bleached cones are used as decor. Let's make a reservation right away, it is unlikely that it will be possible to repeat the effect, and the masters are reluctant to part with such secrets. But we will show you how to achieve a decent bleaching of a tree cone.

First, collect all the fallen coniferous inflorescences and clean them of resin residues. We put everything in a container with an alkaline agent - for this purpose, the “Mole” pipe cleaner is suitable. After 2-3 hours, rinse the bumps and leave them to dry.

Now we put the dried and opened cones into an empty container again, fill them with whiteness (sometimes they take the Domestos product in half and the cheapest whiteness)

All the bumps will soon drown and close. We close the container tightly with a lid and put it on the balcony for reliability and safety. It is best to forget about the jar all night. In the morning we take out all the closed inflorescences and dry them at low temperatures in the oven until they are completely open. If necessary, repeat the whiteness procedure.

You shouldn't expect a super-whitening effect, but the material will become noticeably lighter and more noble

Paint, paint, paint

The second option for changing the natural color is such a method as staining. Painting is carried out by means of a spray can or by lowering the material into a can of paint. Well, you can try to paint a kilogram of buds with a brush, but not everyone has reached the highest level of patience of the Dalai Lama. Therefore, let's return to the description of the simple and affordable methods of staining.

Each inflorescence is tied with a thread, dipped in the paint completely and the thread is tied to a wire

When using paint in a spray can, the cones are also tied up to dry.

By dropping only half of the open bump into the paint, an interesting coloration is obtained

You can pour thick paint on a sponge and dip the petals, adjusting the color depth

There is also a third way to change the natural color: dip the lump in PVA glue and sprinkle it with glitter (sparkles) of the desired color, fortunately, their choice is not limited today.

The best cone craft for the New Year is a festive wreath

A wreath is a large-scale and especially decorative craft made from fir cones. Such a product will serve more than one holiday, since its durability will be beyond praise, and it will look at the door truly New Year's.

The color of the wreath can also be matched to the interior of the room, fortunately, natural material is easily painted

A simple wreath becomes extraordinary, with magical notes, if you decorate it with a lantern

It is not necessary to change the natural color, it is enough to add decorative elements of other colors to the product and get a stylish thing

Spruce cones are combined with the vine. The vine is collected in advance and twisted into a wreath, or harvested with lashes, and before work, the lashes are soaked and slightly dried

Cones are easiest to attach to the base using hot glue.

To create a designer wreath, we connect imagination, select the color and decor. If necessary, we are not afraid to paint the product

DIY wreath assembly: simple, interesting, creative

Crafts from cones for the new year: decorating the interior

If the craft does not serve for aesthetic purposes, then there is little sense from it: you cannot put it in a prominent place, and it will not give any pleasure when contemplating. Another thing is when creativity and skill organically fit into the design of the room, gently transforming and complementing it. Let's try to imagine what a room decorated with bumpy beauty would look like?

A pine cone turns into a tree without soil and water - a magic available to everyone

Decorative decoration in the form of a small Christmas tree is already a tradition in the house where the New Year will be celebrated.To turn a pile of different cones into an incomparable Christmas tree, we take a thermal gun, decorative elements: beads, pompons, earrings without pairs that have been accumulating for several years, acrylic paint, glitter, LED garland will work - the decoration can be anything, the main thing is that it all looks harmonious.

The main thing you need is a cone. The cone can be made of thick cardboard, the remains of wallpaper, foam rubber.

The cone is made in the same way. If you need a high cone, then the cut is made wider.

The material is glued to the cone with hot glue. There is no need to rush, especially if the cones are of different sizes

The cones are glued sideways, it is best to choose the direction for them up or down

A great idea can be a decor from New Year's crafts made of cones and branches in the form of a chandelier decoration. To make the lighting in the room truly atmospheric, you will need to prepare the material: lighten the bumps, paint or simply roll in glue and sprinkle with glitter.

If you fold the branches of the needles in a ring and hang the inflorescences to them, you get an impromptu chandelier. In order for her to participate in the illumination, such an interesting wreath is wrapped with an LED garland.

You can simply screw a screw into the bottom of each bump and hang everything on a thread. Beads are strung between the cones

Making a frame for a photo

To create an unusual photo frame, we use a base frame made of cardboard of any shape and a cardboard frame that repeats the contours of the frame, hot glue and cones.

Small photo frames will look interesting as a wall decor

The abundance of such a voluminous decor does not make the frame too massive

We glue the frame onto the cardboard base, not forgetting to leave a place where we will insert the photo. We glue the tape as a pendant. Now we will glue different cones onto the cardboard frame.

What is New Year without candles? Changing dull candlesticks for holiday ones

For the house, New Year's crafts in the form of candlesticks are also made from cones. Perhaps this is the ideal way to use the gifts of the coniferous forest. Since this material is beautifully decorated, there is no problem to make a solemn composition out of it by adding other decorations.

The candlestick can be based on a saw cut from a tree, thick cardboard, polystyrene or a saucer

If you sprinkle the composition with grated wax, you get a delightful snow powder effect.

You can wind a twig of pine needles on a wire and make a mini-wreath, which is decorated with different materials. A glass with a candle is inserted inside the wreath

How to decorate a candlestick? Various figures, skeletonized leaves, beads, artificial twigs, voluminous tiny snowflakes, handmade elements using the scrapbooking technique ... Just before fixing the composition with wax or hot glue, take into account the compatibility of the decor so as not to overdo it

New Year's decor of the back of a chair with cones

In an attempt to invoke the spirit of Christmas into your home, you should think about the little things in the decor. Even the back of a chair will play an important role if you decorate it with a simple but nice-looking suspension.

The bump is attached to the tape with hot glue. They do this on a ready-made knotted bow with ribbons-ties, or on the ribbon itself, and then they already tie it to the back of the chair

A similar decor is appropriate at a home New Year's table, and at a winter wedding, and at a corporate party.

Christmas crafts from cones: what figures can be made to decorate a Christmas tree

Surely, in search of interesting new ideas, many pictures of New Year's crafts from cones were considered. But sometimes the picture does not give an answer to the question “how is it done?”, And whether such a decoration will look decent on the tree is also not clear.

Consider the Christmas tree decorations that you can make, if you are not too lazy and collect more pine or spruce cones. Children love to pour their imagination into New Year's crafts from cones and acorns, why not connect adults to such a pastime?

If the old Santa Claus remains in the form of a broken toy, then it is worth updating it by presenting a new body from a painted pot-bellied bump

The child himself is able to stick his head, arms and legs on the inflorescence, even if he spends more time on it

Polymer clay will do its job, leaving the Christmas toy usable for more than one year. Don't worry if you are a beginner and want to try working with such wonderful material - everything will work out!

For the head of Santa Claus, you can take both round blanks, and unnecessary children's balls or even large walnuts. Beard and hat can be sewn from felt or made using felting technique

The Christmas mood will be given by the angels who descended on the tree. It will be great if they are hung not on New Year's Eve, but on Christmas. To make an angel, you need to prepare the material for the wings and head.

Wide ribbons or even woolen threads folded several times are perfect for the wings, someone uses coconut threads for the wings. The head is made from both fabric and foam rubber, wooden round blanks, the remains of doll toys

You can try making a few different animals and birds by turning a Christmas tree into a haven for animals.

From plasticine and long cones, beautiful deer will turn out. They are hung by the waist, as the head will be too fragile. To prevent the deer from dangling and breaking their antlers on pine branches, it is better to attach them to the tree with wire

Gorgeous animals are made of threads, using cones as a body. Also, animals will turn out if you use parts of unnecessary small toys

Plasticine is a faithful assistant in children's "lumpy" creativity. The adult's task is to explain, help, guide and suggest a way to attach the toy to the tree. If the head of an animal is made of plasticine, then you cannot put a thread on it; in this case, the thread is wrapped around the body of the animal or bird

In addition to the animal kingdom, pine balls and snowflakes will beautifully hang on the tree.

Having screwed a screw into a cone, it remains only to tie it to the tree, not forgetting to decorate with a ready-made bow folded from a ribbon

Larch cones are small, they make wonderful neat snowflakes. Hot glue will help to collect such a snowflake

An interesting idea for making a large Christmas ball. The inflorescence does not always have a comfortable leg that can be inserted into the base ball. We get out of the situation using hot glue

Other ideas for using cones in New Year's design

They hung the wreath, decorated the tree, and didn't even forget about the chairs and frames on the wall. Now let's start decorating surfaces. It is impossible to keep silent about the fact that natural material is great for creating topiary.

Topiary art requires concentration. A base is installed in the pot on which the balls will be held, plaster of Paris diluted with water is poured into the base. As soon as the plaster is set, the main work can begin. As base balls, you can use foam balls for Christmas decorations

Old aquariums and Christmas balls, together with the gifts of firs and pines, work wonders with the New Year's atmosphere!

Scales will decorate both the candlestick and the pot

Coloring cones inspired many to create interesting coniferous bouquets

A small Christmas tree is not cold in winter, as it can occupy the most prominent place on a table, fireplace or windowsill

Small Christmas trees can be a great sign of attention.

Window decor? You are welcome! And pine cone curtain and makeshift plants

The garland is made of rope, ribbon or twine.Cones are strung on it using wire or hooks threaded into the base of the inflorescences

How do you like this decor? Bright woolen threads can also color the product!

Do not forget that as soon as the snow falls, it will cover all the fruits of conifers, so we are going to collect the gifts of the forest!
