Let the new year still have a lot of time, but today it’s time to think about what kind of tree will be in your house - a standard plant with monotonous decorations in the form of colored balls or something completely special and atypical. If in childhood you loved to make, then you probably come up with the idea of making jewelry with your own hands, though not all, but at least some Christmas decorations will surprise home and guests with their shapes and colors. Here are some of the original DIY craft making techniques:
- Christmas toys obtained from light bulbs. Particularly interesting compositions are obtained when the bulbs have a different color and can be connected to the network. The form of the composition can be very different, while the bulbs can be only part of it. For example, you can make animal figures or models of technology with the inclusion of luminous bulbs in them. For those familiar with electronics, it does not cost anything to turn such toys into the basis for New Year's color music.
- Non-standard placement of Christmas balls. It is not necessary to hang each of the balls on the branches of a Christmas tree - they can be placed on a wire frame or otherwise.
- If you like to cut and paint, then you can surely make funny toys from cardboard, inspiring childhood memories. Toys of this kind can also be made from other materials, such as wood, plastic, interspersed with parts made of foil or metal.
Original ways to decorate the Christmas tree.
In this case, when one idea is taken as a basis. For example, Christmas trees can be decorated with toys and garlands of various shades of the same color, such a “monochrome” Christmas tree looks very unusual, but very interesting and attractive. You can decorate the Christmas tree with fresh flowers and plant stems, you just need to use it for a long time that does not fade - there is a lot of room for imagination. You can hang the tree with photographs, small mechanical products (for example, watch parts) or even old computer disks. But the latter approach, firstly, is not always feasible, and, secondly, it is designed for gourmets. Gourmets will also like the “sweet tree”, on the branches of which cakes, sweets and pieces of cake are placed.
