How to decorate a house for New Year 2020 if there is no Christmas tree
The symbol of the New Year holidays and Christmas is the Christmas tree. But how to decorate a house for New Year 2020 if there is no real tree? Our advice will help you! Make a winter beauty with your own hands from available materials. Do you have an unused garland at home? Bring her quickly!
Attach to the wall with clear tape. Cut out white stars from paper and hang them in any order. It will be a pleasure to open gifts under such a tree.
With the help of a light garland you can make an entire forest. Do you have a big house? Or are you celebrating outside? This decoration option is just for you. Tie small birch branches into trunks with thick twine. Hang it with light bulbs.

Several ideas on how to decorate a children's room for the New Year.
Do you love to sew? Take scraps of red fabric and felt. Feel free to start sewing. To make the tree stand in a pot, cover the bottom with salt dough.
The dough is prepared quickly. Mix 0.5 cups of salt and flour. Add a little water, knead a stiff dough. Place the elastic piece in the flower pot, insert the stem. Soon the dough will harden and your home will be transformed.
The New Year's beauty can be made like balls of thread. Make a cone out of cardboard. Wrap it with food foil. You will need PVA glue, white and colored threads, and beads. Dip the threads into a solution of glue and water (ratio 1:1). Wrap the workpiece first with white threads in the form of a pattern, then with colored ones. Glue beads on top.

Pass the wire inside the cone and pull it out a little from the top to make a curved top. Wrap the cone with tape and secure a cardboard circle at the bottom. Glue a piece of sesal, ribbon, and beads with a heat gun. Bend the top.
Cut rings from polypropylene pipes and build a tree structure. Don't forget to decorate with balloons.
So that the feast is truly New Year's
In our country, the main decoration of the table for the New Year is often considered to be a “bowl of Olivier”, but to create a truly festive atmosphere, it is better to complement this traditional dish with original decorations.
Candles will help create intimate twilight and emphasize the romantic mood. Installed in a wreath, among a composition of pine branches and cones, surrounded by Christmas tree decorations, in glasses - they look very elegant and impressive.
An interesting option for “table lighting” is candles in fruit.
We offer you to watch a small master class on making New Year's candles in tangerine peel and an interesting way to decorate finished candles.
“New Year’s” appetizers and salads look very impressive on the festive table.
Considering that next year is the Year of the Pig, you can complement the feast with themed “pig” snacks, for example, this simple and tasty salad
...or an original snack.
A personally decorated bottle of champagne or a “Christmas tree” made of candies will “fit” well into the atmosphere or make a wonderful gift.
We recommend finishing the decoration of the 2020 New Year's table with napkins, ribbons or cutlery cases that suit the theme and small edible or inedible arrangements on the plates.

Lucky colors of 2020
In some interpretations, the symbol of 2020 is called the Yellow Pig Brown. Therefore, when decorating an apartment or preparing a festive office, the use of the following shades is encouraged:
- yellow;
- light green;
- brown;
- grey;
- any adjacent shades.
These colors must certainly be present in the details of the wardrobe and in the design of the apartment for the new year 2020. Love, health, financial stability and good luck in business can be attracted by any color included in this list (how to decorate a house and how to decorate a New Year's outfit depends on individual preferences). But in addition to the above, traditional New Year’s colors would also be appropriate:
- red;
- green;
- gold.
There are no strict recommendations on what shades to follow. In any manifestation, the listed colors will serve as a magical talisman. But in the process of preparing your home, you can be guided by several general rules of interior design. The first is that the colors should be combined and pleasing to the eye. Secondly, the main shades in the New Year's interior should either be bright, contrasting with each other, or be in the same color scheme. For example, yellow-golden.
The contrast will help create a festive mood. And consistency within several similar tones will make the home more comfortable. When preparing for the holiday, you should remember that the chosen colors should not only be present in the interior, but also decorate the festive table.
How to decorate doors and windows for the New Year
Entrance and interior doors will be decorated with wreaths of fir branches, ribbons, and flowers. Use everything you have at hand. For the wreath, first make the base. This could be a cardboard circle or thick wire.
Secure or glue fir branches, cones, ribbons, and flowers with a heat gun. You can use multi-colored bows, artificial flowers, berries.
Wreaths made of beads look presentable. Does viburnum grow in the garden and have red berries? Pick branches and make a wreath together with spruce trees. The fragrant craft will decorate the door until spring.
On the veranda or near the door outside, place a wreath of frozen rose hips with branches. Any berries that are available will do.
You can decorate your doors for the New Year with felt wreaths and wine corks. Or plant cute Santa Claus reindeer.
Be sure to decorate the door in the nursery in a festive manner.
Make a protrusion on the windows. These are patterned drawings made from white paper. Images are glued onto glass with soapy water.
The combination of protrusions on the windowsill will create a whole fairy tale. Glue paper Christmas trees onto the base and decorate with a garland.
New Year's compositions made of candles, fir cones or wooden crafts look great on the window. Add to this artificial snow, and a fairy tale will come to your home faster than the New Year.
Hang garlands in window openings. They are easy to make from Christmas tree balls, satin ribbons, and culinary molds. You can even hang sweets!
Patterns on the windows
Special easy-to-wash glass paints and stencils allow you to create a festive atmosphere without spending a lot of time and money. Of course, it is not necessary to paint using stencils - you can try your hand at “free art”. But templates significantly simplify the work.
There are two types of stencils:
- made of thin paper (foil, colored film), glued to glass;
- made of dense material, used as a template for aerosol or regular paint.
When choosing the first option you will need:
- paper (film, foil) with the outlines of future decorations printed on a printer or transferred using carbon paper;
- scissors and stationery knife;
- cutting board;
- “glue” based on soap solution. You can use regular or liquid soap.
Drawings cut out using scissors and a stationery knife (they can be painted first) are applied to glass moistened with soapy water. After drying, the stencils last quite a long time. To remove them, you need to moisten the paper parts and carefully remove them from the glass, scraping off stubborn fragments if necessary.
Ready-made or personally made stencils combined with artificial snow make an excellent decor for windows, door glass and mirrors. The decoration procedure can be carried out together with children.
You can make interesting DIY Christmas decorations using... toothpaste! Here you will also need already cut or purchased stencils and an aqueous solution of toothpaste.
Decorative elements for the New Year of the Pig
New Year 2020 will be held under the sign of the Earth Pig. Select details to please the magical creature. These could be elements of kitchen utensils, room decor, toys on the Christmas tree. Give your guests cute knitted pigs as a symbol of prosperity in the New Year.
Do you like to bake cakes?
Bake cute pigs for each guest. Use biscuit dough for cakes, and classic shortbread for cookies. Choose the simplest glaze recipe, add food coloring.
Interesting homemade toys for school
Of course, a festive atmosphere needs to be created at school too. And sooner or later we will all encounter the words “Mom, I need a craft toy.”
What options can you consider here so that you won’t be ashamed to bring it to school for an exhibition, as decoration or just a gift for a teacher or classmates.
For younger grades, easier options will be offered, since the kids still cannot do a lot with their own hands, but we still know very well who will ultimately do everything for them.
Christmas tree cut out of paper and decorated with various elements. It can be decorated with food items, beads and other materials.
Application is one of the interesting types of work for children.

Snowman made of plastic plates. We connect two plates using a stapler, cut out a hat and a scarf from cardboard, draw some elements with gouache and make hands using a tube.
But for high school students the task is more difficult. You need to surprise everyone - teachers, classmates, and parents with your ability to make simple but elegant crafts.
Christmas tree made of paper and cotton pads. Let's make a cone from whatman paper, from the bottom we begin to cover the cone with cotton pads, cutting them off and folding them in half, and so on until the very end. Then we decorate with beads and glue on a star or a bow.
With the help of light bulbs you can come up with such unusual characters. This requires gouache and imagination.
To make such beautiful watches we need... Cut a circle from the ceiling slab, cover the edges with candies, preferably round ones, then walk along the edge of the candies with tinsel, make a dial using beads, an arrow from beads or wire and decorate to your taste.
Decoration ideas for walls and ceilings
Wall and ceiling decorations complete the decor. For the guest room, prepare small details for the holiday. This will make the room more comfortable. Hang balls and paper snowflakes from the chandeliers. Hang garlands, wreaths, and homemade candlesticks from jars on the walls.
For the children's room, cut out funny people, houses, and balls. Hang felt toys.
Office and store premises are decorated in a special way. The high ceilings of supermarket buildings make it possible to hang long ribbons with balls or even a whole Christmas tree!

Christmas tree made of foil
A decorative Christmas tree is very simple to make, it can be an excellent effective decoration for any horizontal surface, and it can also be placed on any stand and even placed on the New Year’s table.
We will need:
- thin cardboard;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- foil;
- an artificial stone with a cut and several small ones for pendants, as well as shiny stickers from a fix price store;
- thread with white or metallic beads;
- hot glue;
- thin wire;
- parchment.
Manufacturing:
- We cut out a blank for a cone from thin cardboard, first drawing it with a pencil. Glue the cone together and let the glue dry.
- We lightly crush a small piece of foil, then wrap it around the prepared cone, cutting it if necessary, glue it with glue, bend the lower part of the foil inward, and glue it.
- Lightly crush the foil on the cone so that it lies evenly on the surface.
- Glue the beads to the bottom of the cone using hot glue.
- We prepare the top from thin craft wire, bent in half, by wrapping it first with parchment and then with foil, inserting it into the top of the cone and securing it with hot glue, drying it.
- We slightly wrap the sharp end of the cone and glue a pendant made of artificial stone and transparent beads.
- We glue shiny stickers onto the entire surface of the cone in foil.
- The result is a very elegant iridescent stylized Christmas tree that looks like an expensive decorative element.
