another attribute of the New Year holidays
Compositions with candles are the most win-win option for creating a special Christmas coziness in your home. Soft candle lights will put everyone in a romantic mood, and lovely compositions with winter berries, pine needles and glass candlesticks will make the atmosphere truly festive.
Remember the main thing - having bought just a few candles, rummaged through a box of New Year's toys and armed yourself with a small fir branch, you can decorate your windowsill or table with a stunningly beautiful New Year's composition! How can you miss such a chance? Show your imagination! How about a composition in white? For it you will need a medium-sized spruce branch, which needs to be cut into small branches. However, artificial pine needles will also work, but nothing compares to a real, delicious-smelling spruce paw.
Perfect for the arrangement are pine and spruce branches, mossy branches, dry larch and linden branches, decorative branches of berry bushes with preserved fruits, dry roots, flowers and herbs, dried fruits, berries and vegetables, as well as fresh flowers - cut or in pots, moss.
What about natural decor? Place candles in straight-walled glass glasses and decorate their walls with thuja sprigs. The twigs can be glued or simply wrapped with red thread - the composition in any case will look very New Year's.
Another option is special candlesticks on a sawn tree knot. You can buy ready-made compositions with flowers and berries, or you can make them yourself using pine needles, rowan berries or any other winter fruits.
Cinnamon sticks tied around candles look impressive. In addition, cinnamon heated with a candle flame will begin to emit a pleasant aroma. You can tie the cinnamon either with a “Christmas” red ribbon or with a simple twine - it looks equally stylish.
The basis for the New Year's composition can be dry branches, bark, decorative pieces of roots, sections of tree trunks, gnarled vines, metal pallets and trays, ceramic and glass vases, a frame made of wire or rods, pieces of foam plastic.
Use transparent glasses or vases, bright rowan berries and artificial snow! If you pour artificial snow into a glass candlestick, the composition will become incredibly New Year's! Install several candlesticks at once and surround them with lush spruce branches or rowan branches. Red has always been considered the main color of the Christmas holidays!
An interesting idea for New Year's decor is candles in glass containers (glasses, goblets or small jars). Wash and dry the dishes so that there are no streaks and dust on the walls, buy simple white candles and glue them to the bottom of improvised “candlesticks” using melted wax. Decorate the glass with regular confetti or cut out paper masks, musical notes, stars or snowflakes. Candles will beautifully illuminate the paper, and paper figures will cast a whimsical shadow on the walls.
Use colored candles for your arrangements! Of course, they cost more than white ones, but they also look much more impressive. The most New Year's colors are blue and red. If possible, complement the composition with accessories of the appropriate color - for example, pastel blue Christmas tree balls on a saucer look great with blue candles, and red candles are effectively complemented with red winter berries, ribbons and even leaves. Combine shades of the same color - for example, soft lilac and light blue, light blue and bright blue, red and dark pink.
If a tall candle is light and discreet, then there is a high probability that it will simply get lost against the background of the festive table and the snow-white tablecloth. But low white candles, buried in a luxurious spruce frame, will contrast very well with the green pine background.
Animal figurines - symbols of the coming year - are appropriate in New Year's compositions. eastern calendar. Soft toys with long pile do not go well with fluffy pine needles, but porcelain, plastic, glass, stone and clay figurines will be very useful. The central element of the New Year's composition can also be a beautiful Christmas tree toy - a bell, a bird, a fish, a golden cone...
Additional materials that may be useful are glue, nails, plasticine, sand, thin wire, needle holders, floral sponge, test tubes, small containers, Christmas tree decorations and candles, satin ribbons, serpentine, rain and other tinsel.
It wouldn’t hurt to stock up on spray cans with silver, gold and white paint for a chic New Year’s sparkle. You can gold and silver branches, cones, nuts, which, as if by magic, will instantly turn into something fabulous and magical.
To New Year's composition you could include fresh flowers - hyacinths, freesias, carnations or rose buds, buy a florist sponge "piaflor" or green florist flasks in which you can pour water and insert live flower stems or branches at the flower shop so that your composition lasts as long as possible remained fresh and delighted you with its original appearance. 
You can buy candles different shapes, any color and scent, or you can make them yourself, with the scent you love.
New Year's and Christmas table compositions will bring a real atmosphere of magic into your home, and the warm flickering of candles will emphasize the mystery of waiting for a miracle. And may your dreams come true on New Year and Christmas, and may a miracle definitely happen!
There are many options for using candles in festive interior decor: they can be placed on the fireplace, placed in the fireplace, placed on windows, on the floor, on steps - it looks elegant, festive, romantic and magical.
Add to bookmarks:
Paper lanterns with candles inside will shed soft light, charm and create an atmosphere of peace. Place lanterns along the wall around the perimeter of the room. If you wish, you can supplement them with candles placed on shelves, window sills, etc.
Red is chic
Place a red rose flower (right and center in the photo) or amaryllis flower (left) in a metal flower holder.
Using double-sided tape, or double-sided adhesive floral tape (if you can find one), glue the flower holder to the bottom of the glass.
Metal flower holders (in English - flower frog)
Pour water and place a floating candle on the surface of the cranberries. When decorating a table or room with candles, place several of these glasses of different heights nearby.
A little hint: These compositions can last for a whole week. Therefore, in the future, the water must be changed daily.
Glasses upside down
Turn the crystal glasses upside down, place them on a silver/nickel silver tray, and place candles on top of the glasses, which have now become candlesticks. If you find a small garland with beads, tie it at the base of the candles.
Bouquet of berries
These candle arrangements can be made in 5 minutes. Place the damp floral foam in the flowerpot and stick a little bit into it spruce branches and twigs with berries (real or artificial) - we place the greenery along the edge, so that there is a little free space in the center for candles...
A little preliminary preparation:
Simply and easily
Of course, you will have jars - jam jars, mustard jars, and who knows what else! So, we take these jars, pour 2/3 of water into them, tie a bright ribbon (two knots) at the neck of the jar and... the candlestick is ready!
We place a floating candle in the water and arrange Christmas tree branches and balls around our jar.
In miniature
Here the elegance of the candle is emphasized by many miniature elements. The candle, tall relative to the rest of the elements, is surrounded by miniature branches and flower heads in glasses, small crimson Christmas tree decorations and silver balls, which add shine and reflect the entire composition.
If you have steps
If you have a staircase at home, then why not decorate it with candles for the New Year or Christmas? The beauty of the composition that you see in the photograph is in the variety of vessels in which the candles are placed.
Subtle aroma
Here, just above the level of the flame, candles are attached from rosemary and.
Pamper yourself subtle aromas on this wonderful night!
Naturalness is important
In the photograph you see a seemingly strange “gathering”. But all components together sound very harmonious. What's the secret?
The first secret is in color: dark brown and white sound noble when paired. The second secret is that all the elements - branches, candles, reminiscent of cones and Christmas trees - look natural.
Shall we have tea?
Let me guess... somewhere deep in your cupboard there are lonely cups from old sets that have been broken for a long time! Did we guess right? We suggest using these cups as candle holders!
Two tips:
- We recommend using tea candles with a metal rim - the rim will protect the cups from spilled wax;
- Place your cup candle holders in a row along the mirror.
Silver glow
Actually, decorating a room in this way is very simple: arrange candles in several rows on (attention!) a mirrored metal tray. The trick is in the tray - it reflects the light.
Candles and pine needles
There are no special tricks here. The candles are placed in beautiful containers, which are decorated around the perimeter with twigs.
The light of a real fire is always more pleasant and softer than electric light bulbs; branches will decorate candles and also create characteristic shadows on the table and walls.
Fire and Ice
Here's another composition that you can do in no time. Place nine candles, three in a row, in the center of the table. Scatter artificial snow around the candles, tie the candles with a wide ribbon and decorate with twigs.
Sparkling beads
Silver balls and beads will sparkle and shimmer, reflecting the light of the candles. The white and ivory candles used here are the most different sizes. The candles were placed in a large bowl and silver balls and beads were added to them.
;
Natural beauty
This decoration can also be done in the last minutes before the New Year. You will need a tray, nuts and miniature Christmas tree decorations. We put candles on the tray, scatter nuts and toys. Ready!
Warm light
Transform your home into an island of warmth and light this holiday season! To create these unique candlesticks you will need an old sweater and glue. The knitted fabric is glued over the vessel (only in the upper and lower parts) with the wrong side out. For elegance, you can add a red velvet ribbon and felt.
