The main winter holiday is approaching, and preparations for it are in full swing. It is important not only to choose gifts for loved ones, carefully consider the menu, but also to think about how to decorate the yard for the New Year with your own hands.
New Year's decoration of the local area and home
To decorate a house for the New Year, sometimes just garlands around the perimeter and a couple of bright accents are enough: a scarlet bow on a lamppost, a Christmas wreath on the front door.
In the dark, the yard will turn into a bright fairy-tale clearing with a gingerbread house
New Year's illumination
The first thing that comes to mind is garlands. Now you can buy lighting of any length, in the form of a thread with pendants or a network, which can be stretched along the entire facade or hung in the opening of an open veranda.
It is enough to throw a network with small light bulbs on a tree, bush near the porch or on a fence.
Decorating the facade
You can quickly turn an ordinary house facade into a festive one with the help of garlands. They can be hung around the perimeter of the facade, used to decorate windows, doors, columns, and veranda railings.
If it is not possible to fix the lighting on the facade, you can weave it into large Christmas wreaths
When decorating your yard for the New Year with garlands, you need to take into account their performance properties.
Products must be intended for outdoor use, be protected from moisture, durable and frost-resistant.
The traditional red color and bright lights on the facade create a New Year's mood even in countries with warm climates
Garlands are made in the form of a ribbon, fringe, mesh, or curtain. Wires come in different colors. The spectrum of light can be cold white, warm yellow, or colored.
Garlands can simply shine or blink with different intensities, gradually increase or decrease the brightness of the light, and switch from monochromatic to colored glow mode.
Separately, it is worth noting the backlight in the form of snowflakes and stars. These are large decorative elements with built-in LED lighting that are fixed to the facade.
Snowflakes are one of the symbols of the New Year
By decorating the façade with lighting, you can use existing decorative elements. For example, flower pots. It is enough to place fir branches in it and string a string of sparkling light bulbs.
Fir branches dusted with snow, illuminated by warm lights, will look magical and original
Several ideas for using garlands on the facade:
Making a fence
The fence around the house shapes the appearance of the entire site. You should remember this on the eve of the New Year.
Light bulbs must have a durable housing that does not allow moisture to pass through.
Regardless of the material, the fence will sparkle with new colors if you simply throw a garland-net on it.
Against the backdrop of such a fence, you can take a couple of successful New Year’s photos.
You can make a garland from artificial or natural fir branches. You'll have to tinker, but everyone will like the result.
This decoration will look elegant in the evening and during the day. To do this you will need to add bright bows.
Fir branches can be replaced with thick green tinsel, but the natural effect will disappear
If you hang colored light bulbs or shaped garlands, the design of the fence will be even more beautiful.
A few photos for inspiration:
Lighting up the trees
You can create a magical atmosphere in your area by lighting trees and shrubs. To do this, it is enough to tightly wrap the trunks and large branches. You can put a garland-net or fringe on top.
You can decorate spruce trees if they grow on the site, exotic species of trees, shrubs, and hedges.
Path lighting
In order for the holiday to be felt already from the threshold, an equally festive path must lead to it. To do this, you can use lamps stylized as symbols of the New Year, in the form of snowmen, Christmas trees, and candles.
"Antique Candle"
We will need:
- empty wine bottle;
- tall candle;
- matches (lighter).
Process:
- Soak the bottle in water and then remove all labels. If there is a sticky layer left on the bottle, you can easily get rid of it by wiping it with a cotton pad soaked in sunflower oil.
- Light the candle and as it melts, drip the melted wax onto the neck of the bottle, creating drips. There should be a lot of smudges, since we need to achieve the effect that this bottle has been used for more than one century.
- Insert the candle into the neck.
This is a very simple, but really very beautiful decorative element for decorating the festive table for New Year.
How to decorate your yard for the New Year: TOP 10 design ideas
Every corner of the yard can be decorated. Jewelry purchased in the store and made with your own hands are suitable for this.
Ice decor
It's frosty outside? This is not a reason to stay home. It's time to go into the fresh air to make ice decor.
To make an ice ball, you need to fill a balloon with water and leave it in the cold. If you need a colored ball, then add dye to the water.
When the water hardens, you only need to remove the shell. The same technology is used to make ice candlesticks decorated with berries and cones, or garlands that are hung on trees.
Decorating your yard for the New Year with your own hands is a fun, creative process. It’s also a wonderful opportunity to have fun with your loved ones.
Bows
Bows look elegant and festive. You can make them from bright packing tape or thick fabric.
Watch the video: how to make bows to decorate a Christmas tree.
A bow can be an independent decoration for a staircase railing, railing, fence, or become part of a decorative composition.
Bright details decorate lamp posts, street flowerpots, entrance doors or canopies over the porch.
Vases
Often the area near a private house is decorated with flowerpots. In summer, living plants bloom in them, in autumn they are decorated with dried flowers, and in winter - with spruce branches.
You can add chestnuts, acorns, rowan branches, pine cones, beads, Christmas tree decorations, bows and a garland to the composition.
Such an impromptu New Year's bouquet will decorate the porch area, terrace or path to the house.
Christmas tree in the yard
The main symbol of the New Year is the spruce. It is a great success if this evergreen coniferous tree grows on the site.
When decorating it, you can use toys in the form of balls, snowflakes and figures, tinsel and LED garlands, so that in the dark the tree twinkles with fairy lights and gives a festive mood.
In order for a decorated tree to remain elegant throughout the holidays, it is necessary to use products made from unbreakable, moisture- and frost-resistant material.
The decor must be firmly attached to the branches in case of wind. Preference should be given to large parts.
Hanging planter
Hanging flowerpots are often used to decorate a site in summer. You shouldn’t give them up on New Year’s holidays either.
Only instead of living plants, you can use compositions from spruce branches, tinsel, balls, bows, beads, and decorative rowan bunches.
Textile decor
To decorate the yard, you can use textile crafts: mittens, socks, Santa Claus hats, fabric flags and garlands made from them, soft toys.
Fantasy is not limited. Decorations can be made in traditional New Year's colors: red, white, blue, green. Natural fabrics are suitable: linen, cotton, burlap with natural wood decor.
Illuminated figures
Illuminated figures will help create a bright design on the site.
These can be themed figurines in the form of Santa Claus, a snowman, a holiday tree, deer and other fairy-tale animals, a gingerbread house or an abstract figure.
To make it, it is enough to use wire for the frame and a street garland for lighting.
Decorative compositions
A thematic decorative composition will organically fit into the design of the site for the New Year and will fill the empty space.
DIY ice decoration for the Christmas tree from scrap materials
We will need:
- glass with a flat bottom;
- spruce needles;
- rowan berries;
- rope (ribbon);
- glitter (optional).
Process:
- Pour some cold water into the bottom of the glass and pour sparkles into it (I have gold ones). Stir.
- We put the edge of the rope folded in half into the water so that the remaining part does not touch the water.
- Place in the freezer for several hours.
- When the water with sparkles has frozen, take out the glass.
- We put spruce needles on top and arrange rowan berries.
- Carefully pour in cold water so that the decor does not float away.
- Put it in the freezer again.
When the water has completely hardened, you can hang the craft on the street tree.
Decorating the house for the New Year
On the facade of the house there are several main elements that form the overall appearance of the house.
How to decorate windows
Windows can be decorated outside and inside. On the street side they hang a flowerpot with a composition of fir branches, toys, and garlands.
Garlands imitating spruce branches, tinsel or LED strips are fixed around the perimeter of the opening. The curtain garland can be hung on glass from the street or from the room.
The window is painted, decorated with homemade snowflakes and flags, decorated with wreaths and textiles with a festive print.
Entry group
The porch is the main element on the facade. If there are columns, they are decorated with wreaths and garlands.
If the width of the area allows, then you can install a small Christmas tree, flowerpots with fir branches or a backlit snowman figurine on it.
You can place lanterns-candlesticks along the edges of the steps. The railings are decorated with bows, flags, tinsel or garlands.
Gable
The roof gable is an equally noticeable architectural element on the facade. A large wreath or decorative lighting in the form of a star, snowflake, bell, or bow is placed in its center.
Curly garlands of icicles or snowflakes are hung around the perimeter of the roof.

Creation of Christmas tree compositions
Buy coniferous branches at the market or store, treat them with glitter hairspray and place them in a glass vase. If you have a wicker basket or clay pot at home, place fir branches there. This composition can be placed anywhere: on the table, in the bedroom or in the kitchen.

The main thing is to keep everything in the same style. It is better if the dishes, napkins and tablecloth are New Year's colors: white, red, blue, green, gold or silver.

Tangerine garland
Ordinary tangerine peels are perfect for decorating a country house. You only need tangerines and a thick thread. Tangerines need to be eaten and stars cut out of the peel. We string stars onto a thread while they are still fresh. We hang the garland on the window or on the headboard of the bed. As time passes, the stars will dry out and look more interesting and festive.

The garland supports several flashing modes. They can be easily switched using the built-in controller.
The length of the decoration is 12 meters. You can easily plug it into an outlet and place it beautifully on a Christmas tree, window, or perhaps the facade of your home. The insulation material - metal and plastic - can withstand even low sub-zero temperatures. 120 lamps allow you to create a bright light show even in difficult weather conditions. The garland runs on batteries, which is very convenient. Don't forget that batteries discharge faster in cold weather.

Types of wire
The question of why it is worth choosing the wire for a craft and what kind of wire deserves special attention. Initially, figured decorations for street decor were made from thin reinforcement by welding. For urban compositions, a similar method is still used. After all, this design is wear-resistant and therefore durable. The main thing is not to forget to tint the figure with paint so that the product does not rust.
However, it is more accessible for the average person to acquire wire, which has a number of advantages:
- it can be easily deformed manually or using pliers;
- will ensure the stability of the structure;
- guarantees durability;
- has aesthetic appeal.
In addition to thickness, wire can be made of various metals:
- steel is the hardest and most wear-resistant alloy;
- aluminum is considered the most malleable and easy to work with;
- copper has an attractive golden hue.
Wire with a smaller cross-section is often available in enamelled, galvanized and plastic-coated versions. If the base of the frame is made of coarser rods, then the winding can be made of thin wire with a decorative color design. In this case, you will not need to use additional paints and varnishes.
