As you can see, I decided to tightly pack this article with crafts and candlesticks for every taste - children's and adults. Therefore you can find here craft options for children and ideas for serious adult candle holder gifts for the New Year. Let's start making beautiful New Year's candles with our own hands.

Candlestick made from bushings

from toilet paper.

Here's our first gorgeous one New Year's candlestick, made in the shape of a star. It seems like something factory-made, bought in a store. But in fact it is possible do it yourself at home with kids. This star candlestick is made from cardboard, rolled into rolls. That is, we need to roll rolls from cardboard (or take ready-made toilet paper rolls). We will need 7 rolls and one round paper(a disposable paper plate will do).

And now I'll tell you HOW to make such a New Year's candlestick YOURSELF.

HOW TO MAKE THIS STAR CANDLESTICK with your own hands.

STEP 1 - The point is that each ray of a star is a roll, which at one end flattened TOP-DOWN, and from the other end flattened LEFT TO RIGHT. We fix the flattened area with a stapler or glue. As a result, we get a volumetric ray of the future star. We make 6 such rays. D

STEP 2 – Next, take a circle of paper (or a paper plate), the diameter of the circle should be such that it can accommodate all the rays of the star in a circle. We place them with the flat, flattened side on the edge of the round (plate). Glue all the rays onto the edge of the plate.

STEP 3 - Now let's take it 7th roll of cardboard and it must be glued to the center of the plate. To make it stick, cut the desired end of the roll into short and wide fringe– spread the rays of the fringe of the frame (into a sun spread) - and glue it with this spread to the center of the paper round.

STEP 4 - Further take a can of gold paint(or gold acrylic paint in a jar) and cover the entire surface of the craft with gold. You can buy paint at a car dealership or in the construction department of the market (costs 3-5 dollars). Acrylic gold paint a jar costs 3-4 dollars.

And if you want to get blurs, smudges and frozen drops on the surface of the craft, the same as in the photo - before painting you need to apply it to the craft hot glue from a glue gun and allow him to chaotically cover the surface of the cardboard elements of the candlestick with zigzags and blots. And after hardening, paint it. In the absence of hot glue, you can try regular silicate glue. stationery glue-snot from our Soviet childhood - it is also thick and also hardens in shiny, voluminous droplets (you just have to wait a little longer for drying).

STEP 5 - Next - inside the central roll we stuff the newspaper- so that it is not empty - but do not stuff it to the brim, but leave a recess into which the candle-tablet will become. And then we put a TABLET CANDLE on this compacted newspaper inside the roll.

STEP 6 - And all that remains is decorate the rest of the surface of the round (plate) pine cones, balls, beads, shiny garland and other New Year's tinsel.

As you can see, a simple photograph - if you look at it carefully, it will tell you how to do the same thing with your own hands.

New Year's candlesticks

ANGELS.

We make these angels from plain white paper. And then we cover the entire craft with gold spray paint. Spray paint cans are sold at any hardware store or automotive supply store - they are not very expensive (about 3-5 dollars).

You and your children can make this angel craft. From a paper cone. To prevent the craft from catching fire from the candle flame, we will make this lamp without a live fire, and place a regular New Year’s glowing garland inside the cone. This will make a children's gift-candlestick for a grandfather or grandmother - they will be happy to light it in the evenings on New Year's days for many years.

Paper candlesticks WITH SLOTS.

You can make an elegant New Year's candlestick from an ordinary sheet of paper rolled into a tube. The paper won't light up because hot air from the candle it freely extends into the socket of such a paper lampshade-candlestick.

And if you are afraid for fire safety– then you can place a tall glass glass inside such a paper roll and lower a candle into it.

By the way, to light a low candle-tablet AT THE BOTTOM OF A TALL glass you can use regular spaghetti pasta. They are long and burn well - we light such a spaghetti torch and calmly lower it to the candle wick at the bottom of the candlestick. Very comfortably.

Here is a master class below, which shows a step-by-step master class on making such candlesticks with slots - just in the New Year theme: with Christmas trees and stars.

First, cut a piece of paper – with height to the height of the glass, and with width, sufficient to encircle the circumference of the glass and overlap the edges for gluing.

On a sheet of paper we draw the lines of the boundaries of the axial rod of the drawing. At the same distance from each other.

On both sides of the drawn borders we draw the outlines of Christmas trees and stars.

We make cuts along the drawn Christmas trees, but do not reach the center lines of the borders with scissors.

Paper candlesticks

WITH PERFORATION.

You can make punctures rather than slits on the same roll of paper. Such perforation can be filled with a regular nail - if you place a sheet of paper on a semi-hard surface (for example, a sheet of foam plastic) and simply drive the nail in with a hammer at the points drawn in advance. This is how a candlestick with a snowflake in the photo below was made with your own hands.

You can wrap the glass so that puncture marks are not visible from the outside. And make sure that the perforation has holes of different sizes. To do this, we take nails of different cross-sectional diameters. With thick nails we will get large holes, with thin nails we will get smaller ones.

The main thing is to think in advance and draw with a pencil our pattern of large and small dots on the future New Year's lamp.

And you don’t have to make just a pattern of snowflakes. You can use the same principle to pin the silhouette of a Christmas tree, deer, snowman, Santa Claus and other New Year's characters.

You can fold a sheet of paper not into a round roll, but into a tetrahedral socket. And decorate each of the four edges with the same white New Year's appliqué.

The back side of each hole must be sealed with tissue paper (translucent tracing paper, or oiled white paper) - that is, the material that will transmit light. Very beautiful and delicate lamps for the New Year.

To prevent such a craft from igniting from a candle flame, the top must be left without a roof. Or, instead of a candle, put an LED Christmas tree garland inside. You will get a beautiful candlestick-gift - both a garland and a lampshade with delicate paper carvings.

You can cut paper blanks in the shape of a house. In the same way, use tracing paper or oiled paper to secure the openings of the cut out windows and doors of the houses.

New Year's candlesticks

IN THE QUILLING TECHNIQUE.

You can make candlesticks from paper twists made using the quilling technique. Let's look at how to make such a candlestick with your own hands - using the example of a blue New Year's candlestick from the photo below.

STEP 1 - To do this, colored double-sided paper is cut into narrow strips. Each strip is wound around a rod (or toothpick).

Then this twist is removed from the toothpick and placed inside a round stencil-hole on a geometric ruler - and within the boundaries of this stencil the twist is allowed to unwind - to the size of the stencil hole.

STEP 2 - Next, take the twist out of the stencil and glue its tail to the twist barrel. We make a lot of such modules - in two sizes, larger and smaller (that is, we adjust some to fit the small hole of the stencil, and others to fit the large hole of the stencil on a regular geometric ruler).

STEP 4 - And now we make up and glue the candlestick - we take a round candle tablet and glue small round twists onto its side. Next, around this first round dance of round modules we place teardrop-shaped large twists - so that they are light in pairs, forming a heart shape.

You can give this New Year's quilling candlestick a shape with sides. If you place the modules on a small paper plate with raised edges, or a jar lid.

From quilling twist modules you can come up with any designs for New Year's candlesticks. In the form of a snowflake, a New Year's Christmas wreath.

You can also use an ordinary voluminous paper snowflake as a simple candlestick with your own hands. Cut out and place under a tablet candle.

Candlesticks for the New Year,

crocheted.

Here's a way to create a candle holder for those who know how to crochet. To do this, you can take any pattern of a knitted snowflake or a knitted star.

You will find many patterns of knitted snowflakes in my article

Candlestick

from a plastic bottle.

And the most free stuff for a New Year's candlestick this is the usual plastic bottle. We throw them away anyway, so why not turn them into Christmas lights.

Cut off the straight central part from the bottle. Cut pointed petals from one side of the pipe. And bend them to the sides. Paint the lamp a light golden color. Apply star stickers. Spread the edges of the petals with glue and sprinkle with silver sprinkles - you can make it yourself if you finely trim the shiny pile from a fluffy Christmas tree garland, or cut a Christmas tree rain.

You can come up with your own candlesticks from a bottle - any shape and complement them with any decor - borders made of bright ribbon, snowflakes, colored glass stones, etc.

New Year's candlestick

from a glass jar.

The simplest candlestick from a jar is made quickly and easily with your own hands. From masking tape (which we use to cover windows for the winter), cut out a silhouette, such as a star. Stick it on the side of the jar, and paint the rest of the surface of the jar with gouache (white is best). To prevent the gouache from sticking to your hands after drying and staining your clothes, spray the top of the painted jar with hairspray. Next, remove our star sticker from the masking tape and get a finished New Year's candlestick made by yourself.

The silhouette sticker can be anything perfect - a snowman, a penguin, a snowflake, or a deer with branchy antlers.

You can also decorate the border of our design with sprinkles; to do this, apply some edge along the edge of the silhouette and sprinkle shiny sprinkles on top of it (I described what to make it from in the previous candlestick).

You can buy gold-colored acrylic paint at the stationery store and use a thin brush to outline the edge of the silhouette-hole on the candlestick. And even make some kind of festive inscription on the silhouette itself. It turns out to be a bright jar-candle holder - and by the way, you can pour white beans into its bottom and drown the candle in it.

You can implement the principle of a silhouette hole on a candlestick jar not with paint - but with paper. That is, cut out the desired picture on a strip of paper in advance and wrap the candlestick jar with such paper. As in the photo with the New Year's craft below.

You can cover the entire surface of the jar with green pieces of napkin (buy green paper napkins, or green crepe paper) it is thin and fits well the smooth curves of the can.
It’s easy to glue - using PVA glue - and it’s better not to buy a small tube from an office supply store, but to go to a hardware store and immediately buy a half-liter jar of PVA - you’ll succeed 4 times cheaper. I do all my children's crafts with this glue. It lasts a long time and is always fresh, but in jars it constantly dries out.

So... we cover the jar with PVA glue and put chopped pieces of green paper on top of it - due to the fact that the pieces will be layered on top of each other, we will get such a chipped polygonal green pattern. And then, to give all this green chaos a New Year’s recognition, we’ll simply paint here and there (or add red paper) circles of holly berries.

The same red balls of berries will decorate our next New Year's candlestick. Here we cover all the walls of the jar with snow. We make it from ordinary salt or sugar (or finely grated polystyrene foam)

Cover the sides of the jar with glue and roll in white sprinkles on the table. When dried, we decorate with a string under which a green twig (for example, a spruce foot) or a green string of textile ribbon is inserted. And in the middle we attach a bunch of berries. It can be beads strung on wire and painted in red gouache (or nail polish). Can beads mold from plasticine and cover them with nail polish on top for shine and color. Or you can take large foam balls.

If you are good at drawing, you can simply draw a New Year's design on the side of a glass jar and you will get an elegant candlestick. You can put not a candle inside the jar, but a New Year's LED garland- and then the jar will sparkle with several lights at once.

You can find ideas for New Year's drawings on a jar in my article

You can also simply APPLY a silhouette in a New Year’s theme to the surface of the jar - like a decorative applique decoration. This applique can be easily and quickly made at home - find suitable pictures on the Internet and cut out the desired silhouettes from colored paper.

you also can copy directly from this screen silhouette of a deer. Simply place a sheet of paper on the screen and use a pencil to trace the image that is visible on the sheet. To reduce or enlarge the image on the screen, simply roll the mouse wheel forward or backward, holding the cropCtrl on your keyboard.

Multi-layered applications on a glass candlestick look beautiful.

You can come up with a silhouette applique that will encircle the entire jar along its circumference.

Small details of the applique do not need to be cut out of paper, but can be completed with a black marker. The candlestick jar itself can be painted in Blue colour(with a foam sponge and blue gouache mixed with white).

Silhouettes can be cut out of white paper. It turns out light and delicate decorative candlestick from a tall glass.

New Year's candlesticks

FROM GLASSES.

Also, excellent candlesticks for the New Year are made from glass glasses with legs.

The glass container itself can be decorated inside with branches of evergreen shrubs (for example fir). Instead of candles, you can put a New Year's garland with LED lanterns inside tall large glasses-vases and mix the garland with Christmas decorations, cones, glass beads.

Ideal candlesticks for low candles-tablets and thick candles-barrels- these are UPPER GLASSES. The flat base of the leg serves as a convenient stand for stable candles.

Under the dome of an inverted glass place new Year decoration– these could be sprigs of holly, silver cones, paws of pine needles or multi-colored bugle beads.

Small decor at all no need to painstakingly slip it under the glass– just pour glasses into the bowl, cover with cardboard, turn the glass upside down with the bowl and stick the cardboard out from under it.

The stem of the glass, like the metal walls of tablet candles, can be silvered or gilded with sprinkles. It's easy to do at home - apply glue and sprinkle with glitter(if you use PVA glue, it can be easily washed off later hot water). Or use Polish for hair– quickly spray and quickly sprinkle with glitter, sprinkle on top again.

You can buy ready-made glitter for sprinkling on your nails or cut the fringe of a shiny fluffy Christmas tree garland into small pieces yourself.

Side parts of candles you can also decorate like this glitter sprinkles. To do this, pour the sprinkles onto paper. CANDLE SIDEWALLS heat over gas burner and the candle, softened from the heat, is quickly rolled over the glitter filling - the soft sticky wax absorbs the sparkles, and the candle becomes elegant and New Year's.

It is better to match the color of the sparkles for the candle to the color of the decorations under the dome of the glass (as in the photo below).

You can arrange a real piece under the dome of the glass New Year's fairy tale(as in the photo with candlesticks below). It's easy to do it yourself - on round piece of white cardboard(or foam plastic) glued Christmas tree craft(bought or made from paper or plasticine) - place a snowman or figurine of another New Year's character. Pour glue and sprinkle with white salt to imitate snow. Cover this round craft with an inverted glass. It turns out to be a magical New Year's candlestick.

You can paint New Year's glasses-candlesticks in winter shades of paint and decorate them with pine cones and snowflakes (paper or purchased).

To paint a glass at home as evenly as in the photo with candlesticks below, you need to use not a brush, but a foam sponge with small pores (preferably a sponge for applying foundation). With such a sponge you can convey a uniform flow of color from light to dark.
I described a detailed master class of this process when I painted my nails using the same technique in the article "Gradient manicure."

You can paint any New Year's character on the glass with paints - and we will get bright candlesticks in the form of snowmen, or Santa Clauses, or deer.

Or you don’t have to turn the glasses over. And lower tablet candles into them on special brackets.

You can twist such staples yourself at home from flexible copper or aluminum wire. This kind of DIY work is exactly what is shown in the photo below.

You can hang a candle-tablet on brackets inside a very high vessel - and then the bottom of the vessel can become a place for decorative composition(as in the photo of the New Year's candlestick below).

New Year's candlesticks

WITH FLOATING CANDLES.

Also, candles can not be hung inside the container, but lowered into the water. To do this, the shape of the candles should be cone-shaped or rounded at the bottom. This way they will float calmly on the water.

Such floating candles can be found on sale and purchased. Or do it yourself - break the candle, remove the wick thread from it. Place the pieces of wax in a saucepan over low heat (or in a water bath) and melt the wax until liquid state. Place the wick into a mold with a round or cone-shaped bottom - fill the wick with liquid wax - cool until the wax completely hardens in the mold. Remove the candle from the mold, slightly heating the walls of the mold.

Or you don’t have to bother with liquid wax. And immediately cut out a conical bottom from a solid thick candle with an ordinary knife (work as a sculptor).

New Year's compositions with candles.

You can use a wide stand – a dish or a vase – as a candlestick and place several candles on such a candlestick at once, interspersing them with New Year’s decorations.

You can pour it into the stand artificial snow or plain white salt, sugar, powder.

As a New Year's candle stand, you can use ordinary low wooden box for seedlings. And decorate it natural material(moss, cones, spruce paws).

The body of the candlestick can become an ordinary wooden log. We drill large holes in it, where we insert tablet candles (or sections of thick candles).

You can also bake a candlestick from edible gingerbread honey dough. That is, bake a round gingerbread with holes for tablet candles. And to go with it, bake smaller gingerbread cookies with the shape of houses, Christmas trees, and trees. We decorate the gingerbread houses with a pattern of sugar icing and dry them. We also pour the large gingerbread candlestick with sweet sugar icing and place the gingerbread Christmas tree houses on the sticky icing.

Gingerbread dough is distinguished by the fact that it does not go stale for a long time, and such a sweet gift-candlestick can be devoured by the whole family after the New Year holidays have passed.

You can find the correct recipe for gingerbread dough in the article about gingerbread houses.

These are the ideas with New Year's candlesticks you can now make with your own hands. It's nice when you can create a piece of the New Year's holiday around yourself.

Connect the kids- they will be very pleased to help you in such a serious matter as the New Year.

Tip: Always have inexpensive table candles on hand. With their help, you can quickly arrange a festive dinner or party.

Well, be sure to buy expensive candlesticks if you have them at home glass jars. They can be decorated with cones, lace or ribbons, or artificial snow, nuts or green twigs can be added inside. What you need to have in stock is simple twine (coarse threads). Tip: Twine is also great for tying up gifts.

If you like more tall candles, then the bottles will play the role of candlesticks. Tall candles are recommended to be placed on festive table, because they create correct lighting(approximately at eye level of the guests sitting at the table).

Another option for candlesticks is cupcake and cookie cutters.

A small pot, often called a “cactus pot,” is an excellent basis for a New Year’s composition. Add some moss, pine cones, pine or spruce branches, insert a candle inside and that’s it.

If you want something brighter and more original, then use mugs and cups.

Cinnamon sticks are a great option for decorating a candle and will create a pleasant aroma in your home. Tip: To make it easier to secure the sticks around the candle, put on a rubber band and stick the sticks under it, close to each other. Then disguise the elastic band with ribbon or twine.

Candles, of course, look very beautiful together. Arranged in a beautiful composition somewhere on a windowsill, on a console, or even in a corner on the floor, they will instantly transform any room. You can assemble the composition on a tray: wooden or metal, or a stand for cakes and sweets.

Tip: on round tray Candles will look more interesting different heights, but on a square or rectangular one you can use the same ones.

Inverting a large wine glass and using the bottom as a candle holder makes a great New Year's candle holder. Place small balls, tinsel or sparkles in a glass - the main table decoration is ready.

Apples are probably our favorite idea. They are so bright, festive and look so beautiful in combination with spruce branches and candle lights. Cut a small hole in the apple so that a tea light can fit inside.

Tip: Small tea candles will not leave any drops of wax or soot behind. If you are afraid for furniture and tablecloths, give preference to them.

This way you will not only have a pleasant time, but also make unique gifts for your friends and relatives.

Decorating the finished candle

If you don’t want to deal with melting wax, but dream of making an exclusive New Year’s candle, you can decorate a finished product purchased in a store with your own hands. The following materials and technologies are used to decorate the surface:

Beads.
Coarse salt.
Paints for drawing.
Decorative contours, gels, sparkles.
Decoupage (gluing finished images to the surface of candles).
Making decorative candlesticks.

There are many options, so everyone will find a suitable method for themselves.

Materials for making candles

The greatest opportunities for creativity are provided by manual creation of the very form of the product. You can make a wonderful New Year's candle. With your own hands (the master class will teach you how to do this), you can make either a simple single-color paraffin candle or a multi-colored item non-standard shape. Depending on the technology you choose, you will need different materials from the following list:

Paraffin shavings (ordinary household candles and cinders will do).
Ready-made wicks with metal weights (this is more convenient) or natural threads for making wicks.
Tablets of specialized dyes or ordinary ones for children's creativity.
Forms for pouring candles.
Container for melting wax.
A saucepan for creating a water bath.
Stick for mixing the composition.
Sticks, such as toothpicks, to secure the wick.
Scissors for trimming wicks.
Surface decor.

If you decide to make gel candles, then you need to purchase a special gel instead of paraffin, and also prepare non-flammable objects that are used to fill transparent forms along with the gel (shells, pebbles, decorative figures).

How to make your own candle mold

Not only do you have the opportunity to create candles with your own hands, but you can also make the candles themselves of absolutely any configuration. You can get your own mold for pouring paraffin in the following ways:

Use boxes and various jars or containers, for example, from cream.
Roll paper into cones.
Use eggshells(if you blow out the contents first).
Make molds from orange peel.
Create Silicone forms with a plaster casing for finished products (plastic, ceramic, for example, figurines of snowmen or other winter and New Year characters and holiday attributes (Christmas tree).

DIY New Year's candles at home: choosing a design

As for the appearance, configuration, method and idea of designing the product, you can choose all this based on the available materials or, conversely, first come up with and draw a sketch (approximate appearance) of the future product, and then select everything necessary for the job.

If you have a plastic figurine, for example, a snowman or a Christmas tree, and you want to make a candle using this template, work like this:

Apply a layer of Vaseline, cream or oil to the surface of the workpiece. This will make it easier to remove the mold from the object later.
Coat the figurine silicone sealant or glue. You can perform this operation in two stages, first obtaining the right half, then the left half with a dividing border. It is usually made perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece using plasticine.
After the silicone has hardened, apply a layer of plaster consisting of two halves or more parts (depending on the complexity of the form).
When the plaster has completely hardened (it is better to wait at least a few hours), separate the parts of the gypsum casing and remove them from the silicone blank;
Open or cut (if made in one piece) the silicone shell and remove the original figure.
Put everything back together. Don't forget to install the wick and additionally lubricate the inside of the pouring mold. This is especially important if the product configuration is complex.

Using the mold you have made, you can make both single-color and multi-color original New Year's candles with your own hands. The photographs clearly demonstrate what unusual candle configurations can be achieved using silicone molds.

Manufacturing technology

If you don't have the time or desire to create your forms like this in a complicated way, it is enough to take existing containers or, for example, roll them from thick paper cones. The following explains how to make your own New Year's candles from paraffin step by step. So, work in progress in the following way:

Prepare the mold: roll a cone, take a plastic cup (or juice box).
The wick from the cone will come out of the candle from the narrow side; a cylindrical shape or other similar one can be poured so that the wick is located either below or above in relation to the place of pouring. As paraffin hardens, it shrinks, so a depression will form at the pouring site. To avoid such a groove around the wick on the top of the candle, you will have to either add paraffin during the hardening process, or install the wick so that the bottom of the candle is in this place.
Taking into account the advice from the previous paragraph, install the wick so that its free edge, which will subsequently be set on fire, comes out from the bottom of the mold. For the cone: push it through the top and tape the hole shut. For the box: make a hole in the bottom (in the center - for one wick. Creative idea- use several, if the size of the candle allows). Pass the wick through the hole and tie a knot to prevent the paraffin from leaking out. You can add a little plasticine. It would be better to pour in small portions so that the bottom layer has time to harden a little and does not flow out under the pressure of the entire volume of the composition.
Secure the wick using sticks placed on the top of the mold.
Set the form to flat surface. For a cone, use a container with a diameter slightly smaller than the base or middle, depending on the height. For the box, you can use a stand with a hole in the center so that the knot made of wick does not interfere
Melt the paraffin in a water bath, adding, if necessary, shavings of colored chalk or dye, stirring everything with a stick.
Pour into the mold.
Wait until it hardens completely (time depends on the size of the candle). It's better to wait a day.
Remove the product from the mold.

All is ready. You can start finalizing.

Product decoration options

Even one-color products of a simple geometric shape can create a spectacular New Year's composition with candles with your own hands, but you can decorate each candle individually.

The methods are similar to those used for purchased candles. If you need to decorate the surface with beads, coffee beans, arranging them randomly or in the form of a pattern or inscription, just heat them in hot water and lean it against the surface of the candle. The paraffin will begin to melt, and the beads will partially go inside.

Decoupage

If you want to decorate the surface with a themed picture, cut out your favorite image in the appropriate size for the candle from Wrap the surface, and then direct a stream of warm air from a hairdryer towards the candle. A thin napkin will be glued into the paraffin.

As you can see, it’s not difficult to make a souvenir like a New Year’s candle with your own hands. You can come up with a themed decor for the finished product, or make an exclusive gift from scratch.

Sometimes we want to bring a fairy tale into our home and decorate the interior in a special way. New year's night- Is it possible to find a more suitable time for this? Add some sparkles to the New Year 2020 in the form of a festive panel of candles.

Tradition of four

On New Year's holidays, it is customary to decorate the house with four candles. This custom appeared because of Christmas, and not the New Year. In the period until December 25, Catholics observe something called. While it lasts, every Sunday one is lit new spark plug, in the end, there are exactly four of them. Their color is traditionally red, and the stand is decorated with spruce branches.

As a result of cultural mixtures, today a panel of four candles can be seen in both Orthodox Russia and Muslim Turkey. Compositions are made for the purpose of interior decoration.

You can make the fiery symbol of the New Year with your own hands - it’s even more interesting than buying ready-made decorated coasters. Find an example in a magazine that makes your eyes light up, arrange the decor in the same style or to your own taste. For your convenience, we will provide some tips on how to prepare such decoration for the holiday.

Candle fire

Big tall ones look truly solemn New Year's candles. They should be given a solo part, set up in the living room. Place the composition in the center of the table, let the fire become the heart of the holiday.

Thin tall candles surrounded by gold balls and beads look elegant and delicate. And the figurine of an angel will add a touch of joy to the ensemble.

The composition can be performed by arranging the fire in a circle on a large plate, in a square or diagonally on. In the latter case, it turns out simple and beautiful at home. At the same time, instead of special stands, you can adapt an ordinary box, supplementing it with flowers in pots. Among the plants, thuja is perfect. This is a decorative coniferous analogue of spruce. A real plant always looks more advantageous than cut branches or simply artificial substitutes.

You can place cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, walnuts and cookies on a Christmas plate with an Advent symbol. As a result, the holiday will turn out to be warm and family-friendly. Each nut from such a plate will be a hundred times tastier than its counterpart from the buffet.

Pine cones will be a traditional decoration for the New Year's panel. They can be used as the main decorative element, placed around wax decorations. And if you approach the issue like a real designer, you will get a work of art: place candles in a hanging basket, pine cones different sizes attach at the bottom. There will be a comic chandelier that looks more appropriate than a real one on New Year’s Eve.

Any New Year candle, as a dear guest, deserves special attention. You can, for example, create a separate composition for each candle by making. Subsequently, place these mini-foci next to or in different rooms. Even one candle can change the atmosphere in the house beyond recognition.
