Decorating a door will help put both yourself and those who pass by in a good mood. But it’s worth a lot to give good emotions to friends and strangers.

How to decorate a staircase for the New Year
The staircase can be decorated in two ways: limit it to the railings or touch the steps themselves, if they are wide enough.
Tip: when decorating a small staircase leading to the attic, it is better to leave the steps undecorated so that decorations do not interfere with your movement.
A variety of items and materials will be useful in this exciting activity:
- Christmas tree decorations, rain, serpentine;
- bows, ribbons;
- spruce branches, cones, artificial berries;
- lanterns, candles, garlands;
- socks;
- snowflakes, bells, beads and any other decorations that are usually used to decorate Christmas trees.
As for the steps, here you can put toys, organize lighting, and place gift wrappings. Another idea that I liked is luminous letters: you can assemble any holiday-themed inscription from them, and in the future such decorations will be appropriate in any other area of the room.
You can choose a specific theme for the decor. For example, in the photo the theme of the sea was chosen, which was emphasized by starfish and blue and white decoration.
Snowflakes and rain
This design option will help you create door decorations for the New Year with your own hands, which will give you a New Year's mood. To make this decoration you will need:
- Thick paper.
- Snow and tinsel.
- Beads.
- Snowflakes made of paper or cardboard.
- As well as other decorative elements to decorate the door structure for the New Year holiday. These can be unbreakable Christmas tree decorations, small balls strung on a thread, or tinsel figures.
You should prepare a stencil in the shape of a Christmas tree. This can be a cutting from paper or other available materials, such as chipboard or cardboard. Tinsel and rain should be cut into small pieces. Then grease the prepared stencil with glue and sprinkle with small tinsel.
Scheme for making snowflakes of different shapes
Before decorating the front door for the New Year with such a composition, you need to think about the overall picture. Snowflakes will look great against the background of the Christmas tree. Some people buy ready-made products, but it is best to cut them yourself.
Making snowflakes from paper, foil, cardboard for holiday decor is not at all difficult. You can use blanks or patterns according to which combinations are cut out.
Or you can turn on your imagination and create your own, unique and inimitable openwork figurine.
By attaching a Christmas tree to the door structure, shining and playing with colors and sparkle, and by hanging snowflakes nearby, a festive and inspiring atmosphere is created.
Compositions of pine cones on the door
Did you know that cones can not only grow beautifully on Christmas trees and pine trees, but also decorate your doors. For the New Year 2020, it is quite possible to come up with many decorations that will consist entirely or partially of this natural material. Large and small foam balls, garlands, pendants, wreaths, frames, hearts and other transformation elements can be made from this gift of nature. Not only the beautiful appearance, but also the subtle aroma of pine resin will captivate your eyes and heart forever. In operation, the pine cones are pliable, safe and pleasant to the touch. They can be used either in their original form or painted with aerosol sprays. But in one case or another, this material is equally effective, and this is obvious in the photos we provided.
Such original creations will be able to show off with dignity on your front door. You just have to try a little, invest your strength and imagination, all your warmth and spiritual mood, and then you will certainly succeed in this idea. And we are smoothly moving on to the next New Year's decor idea.
Coniferous decor
To ensure that Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden do not bypass your home, a great idea is to decorate the door leaf with a composition of pine cones and branches. This idea can also be done with your own hands. The main thing is to choose pine or other species for crafts that do not crumble over time.
An example of decorating New Year's doors with pine branches
To make this idea a reality and make a Christmas wreath for the front door of your home, kindergarten or classroom, you should prepare the following materials:
- fir branches;
- strong thread;
- multi-colored bows, flowers and other decorative elements;
- if there are pine cones in the composition, then we decorate the decorations beautifully, which will help create an incredible ikebana;
- if you plan to decorate, then, of course, you will need paints. You can use any that you have on hand.
In order to decorate the front door, you need to connect the spruce branches with a thread. This can be done either directly on the door or by fixing a previously prepared composition. Then you should fix decorative elements, such as bows, flowers, using the same thread.
Door decor with various elements
If desired, you can complement the composition with multi-colored Christmas tree decorations. Decorated interior doors for the New Year and entrance doors with this design idea will look truly festive and colorful.
Door decor made from CDs
If you have some problems with decorating your door, you don’t know what to come up with so original, then we advise you to turn your attention to CDs abandoned in your house. This is not just a laser information carrier, but also a storehouse of creative ideas. Just take a look at the photo we presented; this Christmas tree was created with your own hands from a number of improvised materials that are not used in everyday life. Colored cardboard as the base of the craft, CDs themselves and universal glue. As an addition - a thread of mechanical garlands. But you shouldn’t stop there, because in addition to a coniferous tree, it’s possible to create various pendants, garlands, balls inlaid with fragments of broken disks and much more that you can imagine for the New Year 2020.
Christmas wreath
With the help of a Christmas wreath, you can transform your office for the New Year, decorate the door leaf of a kindergarten, and also create a New Year's mood in an apartment or private house.
Option for decorating doors with a Christmas wreath
To create the most attractive composition possible, it needs to be decorated with spruce branches and pine branches. To create such a New Year's decoration with your own hands, you will need the following materials:
- Coniferous branches.
- Metal wire or strong threads.
- Fabric bows.
- Snow and tinsel.
- Artificial snow.
You should get to work creating the basis for future ikebana. To do this, you need to twist individual pieces of wire together or create a mold of the desired shape from one solid wire. Then, using small wires, you need to attach the spruce branches close to each other. After all the branches are fixed on the base, you need to attach decorative elements to the composition. The finished Christmas wreath can be secured with double-sided tape or attached to a nail. This decoration will give you a festive mood and bring real magic into the room. The video shows the process of making a Christmas wreath.

New Year's decoration of the stairs in the house
articles:
The staircase acts as a central figure in the home interior along with other large elements - a fireplace, etc.
It sets the main tone in the design of the room, dictating the style and color scheme, and in itself is an excellent decoration for the home.
But on the eve of the New Year holidays, we want to make the home atmosphere special, decorate the house with festive accessories and bright decor. In this article we will tell you in detail how and with what you can decorate the stairs for the New Year.
General recommendations for selecting and fixing jewelry
When choosing decor for New Year's decoration of stairs, consider the following points:
- All garlands, balls, ribbons, etc. – temporary decorations. After the holiday, they will have to be removed and put into boxes until next year. Therefore, carefully select the type and design of fasteners so as not to leave scratches or traces of glue. The structural elements of the staircase - balusters, railings, steps - must retain their attractive appearance and integrity.
- Any electrical equipment (garlands, lanterns) and burning candles are potentially dangerous in terms of fire. Despite their attractiveness, you will have to take the necessary precautions. Candles are placed in special glass containers, making sure that the flame does not extend beyond the glasses or vases. All cords must have a strong insulating braid and plugs with a grounding contact, and be in good condition.
- The main rule when choosing decor is not to overdo it. In practice, this can be explained simply: wreaths, bunches of cones and other decorations should not interfere with free movement along flights of stairs. There should be enough space on the surface of the steps for a person to place their entire foot.
Decorating a staircase for the New Year using various items
Various decorations, purchased or made by hand, as well as spruce or pine branches, citrus fruits, Christmas balls, garlands, rain, etc. are used as decorative elements.
Conifer branches
They can be attached separately or in the form of miniature wreaths. Both natural branches, which can be purchased at a reasonable price from Christmas tree dealers, and artificial pine needles are used.
Remember - perhaps there is an old prefabricated Christmas tree made of synthetic materials lying around in the closet or attic? If individual fastenings to it are lost, the remaining parts will do an excellent job as an original decoration for the staircase.
An easy way to decorate a railing is to place branches along it. They are first connected into a single strip, with the ends overlapping, and fastened with harsh threads, cord or fishing line. The resulting “garland” is tied to the handrails or railings with wide fabric ribbons or fishing line in increments of 0.5-0.7 m.
An alternative option is to lay the branches not on the railings, but on the steps along the flight. They can be decorated with bright decorative bows and Christmas tree decorations (balls, icicles), carelessly scattered with “rain” or sprinkled with artificial snow (foam balls).
Pockets with gifts
The old New Year's tradition of hiding gifts in a beautiful sock or sewn boot of Santa Claus does not lose its popularity. Both children and adults will be interested in finding out what is hidden inside. Each sock is hung from the handrails using threads or ribbons.
Instead of boots, you can use bright red bags made of thick fabric, marking who each of them is for. You can hide whatever your heart desires inside – from a chocolate bunny to a trip to an exotic country!
New Year's wreaths
To weave a durable wreath, first make a base from wire or cardboard. Pine branches and small decor (beads, serpentine) are gradually attached to it with glue. Wreaths are tied to the stairs using wide satin ribbons - it looks beautiful and impressive.
Wreaths are placed on the outside or inside of the railings. They go well with other decor and also give off a light, unique aroma of pine needles. In order not to visually clutter the space, try to evenly place 3-4 wreaths along the entire span.
Gifts of nature: dead wood, fruits, berries
Dried branches from your own garden, bunches of viburnum and rowan, hawthorn berries, oranges and tangerines can be safely used to create an unusual staircase decor.
The branches are connected into one large “strip”, or several separate compositions are made from them. Then they are decorated with fruits and berries, adding ribbons and beads if necessary.
Luxurious bows
Satin ribbons, organza and mesh are the main materials for spectacular New Year's bows. Red, gold, silver, bronze, tartan - the choice of color and pattern depends on the surrounding interior.
Bows are tied individually along the staircase descent, as well as on balusters and handrails.
Snowman door decoration
Another attribute of the New Year is a snowman. This hand-made exhibit will give a feeling of celebration to both children and adults. To create such an ikebana yourself, you need to prepare:

You can additionally decorate the surface of the craft with spruce branches, berries, Christmas tree decorations, rain and many other things that you can easily get. The design directly depends on your mood, taste and imagination.
Door decoration with a bell
A New Year's bell on the door is also a worthy decoration. In addition, you can also do it yourself.
To create this decor option you will need:
- cardboard;
- multi-colored or plain threads;
- glue;
- fixing varnish;
- sparkles.
To make a bell with your own hands, you need to cut out a cardboard shape according to the diagram. Then, you should fasten the ends of the cardboard with glue.

The final action is to spray the bell with varnish or other fixing material.

Traditionally, Grandfather Frost and Santa Claus put gifts from boots. You can also make it yourself. For this you will need:
- Fabric (felt or cotton).
- Snowball or tinsel.
- Glue.
- Strong wire.
- Threads for sewing boots.
Boots for gifts on the door

Garland
The best option to brightly decorate your front door for the New Year is a garland. First of all, we are talking about flashing lights. It is best to perform this design around the perimeter of the opening. If you want, try decorating the front door itself.

Important: the garland is live, so be careful not to pinch the wire with the door. If the cord is damaged, the metal structure may shock you.
Also for the New Year they use decor in the form of garlands of artificial pine branches, film and foil products, homemade paper products, bundles of Christmas tree decorations, etc.
Symbol of the year
Each year is symbolized by an animal. An interesting solution is to create with your own hands an animal that will rule in the coming year.
