On the eve of one of the most anticipated holidays in the year, a New Year tree is decorated not only in families where there are children. Of course, with the children this process is more noisy and emotionally, although less seriously. But you need to try to appease the patroness of the year - the Black Water Snake. Let's find out, how to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year 2013 , so that the lady would be happy?
To begin with, it is desirable to determine in which color variation the decor of the Christmas tree will be executed. So, what are some of the ideas for decorating a Christmas tree?
- Option number 1 - this can be a monochrome version, that is, the Christmas tree is decorated with toys of only one color.
- Option number 2 - European two-tone version, when all the decor of the New Year's beauty consists of two colors.
- Option number 3 - multi-color performance, somewhere even with a touch of retro style.
So, perhaps, we'll start with the first option. Christmas tree, decorated with a single color decor, looks quite strict, so for home decoration this option is not very suitable. Although it also has something, for example, a Christmas tree decorated with silver balls and bows, looks pretty nice.
By the way, about the flowers, which the patroness of the next year will favorably respond. Among the favorites on New Year's Eve, such colors are silver, golden, white, blue, blue, green. Therefore, if you do not know how to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year 2013 , then take the decorations of one of these flowers and decorate them with a Christmas tree.
The second option looks more democratic than the first, and is quite suitable for home incarnation. The combination of decor of two colors looks just great, especially if these colors are matched in contrast. For example, take balls of blue and silver color - this is a classic of the genre of festive decor, and you will not lose if the decoration of the New Year tree in 2013 will be done in these colors. Especially since both colors are "loved" by the Water Snake. To give the Christmas tree a little playfulness, add silvery bows and iridescent tinsel to the balls. And here's another combination that will be appropriate in 2013 - it's golden and red. Decorate the Christmas tree on a similar principle: combine Christmas trees, rain, tinsel only two colors.
If the above two options do not suit you, and you are still thinking about how to decorate a tree in the year of the Serpent, then pay attention tothe third variant of decor is when they are not limited to certain colors in decorations and use toys of all colors that are available in the house. In this case it is desirable to follow, again, the color preferences of the Water Snake, but not necessarily. The main thing is that the "right" colors, which we listed a little higher, were present on the tree.
If you remember, this principle was used to decorate the Christmas tree in our childhood: huge boxes of Christmas toys, garlands, tinsel,it was hanging in a disorderly manner on a green beauty. Of course, it will sparkle and shine, flooding with many-sided reflections, but this is to our advantage. Do you know why? Because Snake loves shine! Of course, in everything you need to know the measure, and if behind the numerous ornaments you can not see the tree itself, it will not be approved by the lady of 2013.
Decorating a Christmas tree with 2013 bows
This is the tradition we have adopted from Western countries - decorating the Christmas tree with bows. And, here it should be noted that we also decorate bows in different ways. The first variant of the decor consists in taking several large bows, usually from bright wide satin ribbons and decorating them with a Christmas tree. Such a beautiful forest looks not only stylish, but also exquisite. Here the main thing to note is that there should not be a lot of bows.
The second option is that ordinary children's bows, for example, from a translucent organza, are untwisted in length and are hung on a Christmas tree instead of tinsel. You can even attach a few bows to get one big ribbon and use it to decorate the tree. And in order to not see the place of fastening of bows, they can hang small satin bows of the same color( but not in contrast).
Christmas decorations on a Christmas tree with your own hands
Undoubtedly, it's very easy to buy New Year's toys, but it's more pleasant to make them yourself. Decorations for a Christmas tree can be made with your own hands from different materials. For example, traditional balls of thread in general are made in 15 minutes, all kinds of snowflakes from paper, too, we are familiar from childhood.
If you can do all this, then for you there is a task more difficult - try to make a snake figure, it will approve your zeal. And here the craftsmen and craftsmen will not be at a loss, because the Christmas decoration in the shape of a snake can be knitted or crocheted, molded with plastic, made of cardboard, made with origami technique, sewed from felt. The snake can be made even from old pantyhose or socks. You see how many options, the main thing - to want to create with your own hands! Also, to more complex tasks can be attributed decoupage of the New Year's ball or the production of Christmas balls made of multi-colored beads.
We very much hope that thanks to our advice, the question of how to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year 2013 remained for you decided. And finally a little advice. If there were no decorations in the house depicting a snake or in the shape of a snake( although it is necessary to try very hard to have them in the house), then the tree can be decorated with those ornaments that resemble a snake in shape: it is a tinsel with a thin wire inside, which can be bent andto give it a wavy form;this serpentine is of the same wriggling shape as the snake;this garland, which also has a curved shape. Fantasize and come up with something new! Bright New Year!
