Red is the undisputed favorite of the New Year's celebration, so it must be present in the decoration of the festive table. It is important to feel the fine line between beautiful serving and excessive stiffness. You should not fill the New Year's table with red dishes, candles and red napkins.

Red color goes great with gold and white. Show your imagination, “play” with colors and you will definitely end up with a luxurious composition.

Decorating the New Year's table (Master class)

Particular attention should be paid to table decoration. Quite recently, but firmly established, the tradition of decorating the table with the hero of the occasion - a symbol of the coming year. According to many, this should bring success and happiness next year. Therefore, let's start by creating a dog with our own hands.

A charming and cute dog is made from pompoms. In the future, it will serve not only as a decoration for the New Year's table, but also as an excellent toy for children.

A very simple step-by-step instruction for making a toy from threads consists of the following steps:

1. Initially, two rings of thick paper are prepared. They are needed for making pom-poms by winding threads onto blanks. The rings have the following dimensions: the outer diametrical section is 85 mm, and the inner 40 mm.

2. Threads are wound onto blanks of different colors in this order: on one blank, which will serve as the head for the dog, 3/8 of a circle of black yarn is wound, then 1/8 of a circle of white yarn, and then repeated; onto the second piece - the body - wind black and white yarn exactly in half.

3. Next, carefully cut the threads with scissors along the circumference of the outer part of the workpiece, and tie them tightly along the inner circumference. After this, straightening the threads, we form a ball.

4. The legs are formed on the ball, which serves as the body. To do this, take two bundles of white threads and tie them tightly with thread. The threads around the paws are trimmed.

5. On the pompom, which serves as the head, ears are arranged in a similar way. Felt figures in the shape of ears are glued to the ends of the threads.

6. The muzzle is made separately. To do this, make a small skein of white thread. A round black button is glued or sewn onto it.

7. After the muzzle is ready, it is glued to the pompom of the head. Then beads are sewn on instead of eyes.

8. Cut out a circle with a diameter of 30 mm from felt. Then the torso and head are connected, gluing them to the circle.

Table Setting Basics in 2020

In addition to a well-thought-out dinner, attention should be paid to serving. A beautifully set table will give you the appropriate festive mood. The table should be decorated with the best things available in the house. These are devices made of gold, silver, crystal.

The table should have a tablecloth and napkins made of silk or satin. All this wealth symbolizes the prosperity and prosperity that will come in the coming year. The table must have festive accessories, shiny and attractive, as well as fir branches.

Selection of accessories

The symbol of 2020 is a yellow dog, so the decor should be in this range. That is, yellow color must be present. For the perfect combination, use golden glasses, and the rest of the accessories should match.

It is impossible to imagine holiday decor without candles. To appease the Earth Dog, there must be a lot of candles. The dog is the keeper of the hearth, so the environment should be homely and cozy. Therefore, we place candles on candlesticks and candelabra.

In the case where there are no such elements in the house, you can make candlesticks with your own hands. Inverted wine glasses will look very original as candlesticks. You can place Christmas tree decorations inside them and place candles on the legs. It will turn out original and beautiful.

Selection of cookware

The color scheme of the tablecloth and dishes should be combined. But they don’t necessarily have to match. When using snow-white dishes, it is better to choose textiles in a bright color, for example, purple, red or blue. Against such a background, white, silver or golden dishes will also look quite impressive.

If the tablecloth is white, then it is better to choose dishes, in particular plates, with a pattern. So, for example, if there are decorative elements in red on the table, then dishes with a pattern in the appropriate style and color scheme are preferable.

You can add variety to the table using napkin rings or tying it with ribbons, but original cutlery bags will look especially beautiful.

Tablecloth

Any table setting begins with a tablecloth. This serving element should match the overall decor and have a coloring that matches the symbol of the year. For a yellow dog, a tablecloth in yellow, beige, and brown colors is suitable. You can be content with other color shades, but the tones should be natural.

The tablecloth runner has become very popular. It is a textile element in the form of a track, which is placed in the middle of the table. It features bright decorative details that immediately attract attention.

We present a master class that will help you make such a tablecloth with your own hands:

1. For the base of the tablecloth, use white calico 150 cm long and 75 cm wide. In the finished product, the width will be 35 cm. First, you should bend the fabric at the top and bottom by 1 cm. Next, pin it with pins.

2. The fabric is folded in half widthwise, pinned, and then stitched around the perimeter with a sewing machine.

3. Two strips measuring 150 by 10 cm are prepared from fabric for decoration. Allowances of 1 cm are folded along the entire perimeter of the strips and the ribbons are pinned to the sides of the tablecloth using pins and stitched using a machine.

4. Select fabric with a New Year's ornament and cut out circles, imitating Christmas tree decorations. They are placed in the lower and upper parts and sewn with a decorative seam.

5. Next, make stencils of New Year’s elements, apply them to the canvas and use fabric paint to apply the designs to the tablecloth. To fix the drawings, you need to walk over them with a hot iron. Finally, if desired, decorate the canvas with rhinestones and ribbon bows.

Napkins

The design of napkins also plays an important role in serving. Many housewives cannot decide which napkins are better to use - linen or paper. It would be appropriate to set the New Year's table with two types of napkins. This is due to the fact that, according to etiquette, linen products are used more for ambience, while paper products are necessary to fulfill their role.

In addition to the functional purposes of napkins listed above, several more decorative options are being considered. For example, fabric napkins are tied together using twine or tape. Rings are often used. The last attribute is easy to do with your own hands.

Here is a master class on making napkin rings:

You need to prepare the required number of cardboard tubes. Paper towel rings are ideal.

A drop of silicone glue is applied inside the tube and a satin ribbon is secured.

Then they begin to tightly wrap the tape across the tube until it is completely and evenly closed. Next, the ribbon is cut and its end is fixed again.

Finally, decoration is done. The methods may be different. You can cut out leaves from green felt and attach them to a ring or add any decorative New Year’s items.

Paper napkins are used to decorate cutlery. For example, they make special pockets for cutlery. One of these options is carried out according to the following plan:

A napkin, folded in four layers, is placed in front of you. One corner is bent diagonally and returned to its original position.

Then they fold the same corner again, but this time align the edge with the original fold line.

The folded edge is folded in half again, and then along the diagonal that was formed initially.

The next layer is folded as in step 2 and again in half towards the diagonal. In this way, two strips located one below the other are obtained.

The napkin is turned over to the other side and folds are made on both sides on each side by a third.

After this, a pocket is formed on the front side.

Decoration and table setting for the New Year 2020

What is the main thing about the New Year holidays? Not gifts and not a Christmas tree. And not even champagne. The main thing is a good mood and expectation of miracles and magic. It is best “caught” in preparations, which in themselves are already part of the holiday and New Year’s magic. The main holiday of this year is coming very soon, and it’s time to think about how to decorate the table for the New Year 2020.

The patron saint of 2020 according to the oriental style is the yellow White Rat, which promises to bring stability and prosperity. However, it would not hurt to demonstrate your respect for the hostess of the year and think about setting the New Year's table in advance. Get the best service, don’t skimp on decorative elements, create a menu and come up with the design of dishes - all this will not only help win the pig’s favor, but will also create a magical mood in anticipation of the main night of the year.

In the Year of the Rat, it is very important to adhere to certain decorating rules. It is advisable to decorate the table in a rustic style, since the symbol of the year is the villager. The White Rat represents the element of Earth, which should also be taken into account when decorating. Particular attention should be paid to the color scheme, selection of dishes and the use of additional accessories. It is very important to take into account even the smallest nuances - treats and decor must correspond to a single harmonious style.

One of the main tasks of organizing a holiday is drawing up a festive menu and preparing dishes for the New Year's table. What to cook for the New Year? Original and delicious recipes are here !

The content of the article:

Color

First of all, you should decide in what color scheme the festive table will be decorated. The main thing here is not to overdo it, it is optimal to use 1-2 colors.

The traditional palette is considered to be red, red-green, red-gold, gold and silver, but it is worth taking into account the preferences of the mistress of the year - the White Rat, so the main colors of the design will be all shades of yellow, as well as beige, brown and silver tones. Depending on the overall style, gold and mustard colors would be an excellent solution for decorating the New Year's table. Using a rustic rustic style, beige and vanilla shades will look very interesting.

Red The absolute favorite of New Year's Eve is red, so this color must be present in the design. Did you choose a red tablecloth? Give preference to white dishes. Red plates and candles of the same color will look great against a light background. Red color goes well with white and gold colors.

Gold/yellow Another popular color for New Year's table setting is gold or, to please the rat, white. The gold color is luxurious, but at the same time it is very difficult to use. Therefore, if you choose it as the main one for decoration, then be careful not to overdo it, otherwise there is a risk that you will be accused of bad taste

Lime/green And, of course, it makes sense to decorate the New Year's table in green tones, because the Christmas tree is the main decoration of the holiday, and it is of this color. Give free rein to your imagination - green tablecloths, green glasses, green plates and even decorative Christmas trees in the center of each plate - all this will be appropriate. The “Soviet” champagne, beloved by many, purchased for a banquet, will complement the green composition and emphasize the solemnity of the moment.

An indispensable attribute of the New Year's table is a variety of salads. You can find recipes for simple and beautiful salads for the New Year's table here .

Textile

It is impossible to imagine a luxuriously set table without textiles. An ironed elegant tablecloth, beautiful napkins and cute capes on the backs of chairs, as a rule, are one of the most important touches when creating a beautiful picture.

Tablecloth. When choosing a tablecloth, it is advisable to give preference to natural, inexpensive fabrics: cotton or chintz - the rat does not particularly like pomp. Natural silk and other light fabrics in light vanilla colors are best used for napkins. The tablecloth can be chosen in the same palette with the general design - the color is selected in such a way that it harmonizes well with the dishes. The size should be slightly larger than the tabletop: the edges should hang 30 centimeters on each side. An original solution is to place a so-called runner or, as it is more popularly called, a track in the center of the table. At the same time, it can be laid either on a tablecloth or used without it.

Napkins . The rat loves naturalness in everything, so you can put thin woven napkins on top of the tablecloth, especially if the holiday menu includes dishes in ceramic dishes. The use of fabric and paper napkins is allowed. Fabric ones are laid out on snack plates, paper ones - in a napkin holder. Napkins should be a little brighter than the tone of the tablecloth, in solid contrasting colors. Fabric napkins can be folded in an unusual way or use an option with gorgeous rings.

Salads on the New Year's table can be the most ordinary, but their decoration should include a New Year's theme - Christmas trees, wreaths, colorful balls, clock dials. But don’t forget about the symbol of the year - the White Rat and make a salad in the shape of a rat for the New Year’s table !

Dishes

Since on New Year's Eve there should be a large selection of various treats on the festive table, one cannot fail to mention the dishes. In the Year of the Rat, hot dishes can be served directly in pots, and small ceramic plates are suitable for cold dishes and snacks. Sets of dishes must be selected depending on the holiday menu. Cutlery can also be decorated in a rustic style, decorated with openwork lace napkins or placed on linen towels. Clothes for cutlery will look unusual, but very original: New Year's mittens or miniature scarves made from thin braided rag braids.

If the housewife is still not a supporter of the rustic style, then for a festive feast, as a rule, she gets the most beautiful service. Plates and glasses must be perfectly clean, so after washing they must be wiped dry with a towel. The table should be set according to the number of invited guests. For each invitee you must prepare:

a large serving plate in which containers with appetizers, soups and hot dishes will be placed;
a pie plate with a butter knife;
spoon for first course;
forks for seafood and for the main course;
table-knife;
dessert spoon and fork;
glass for water;
glasses for champagne, white and red wines

All cutlery should be laid with the convex side down, the forks with the tines up, and the knife with the tip towards the plate. Knives and forks are placed on the right side of the plates, forks on the left side. Dessert spoons lie to the right of the knife, convex side down. Rules for serving dishes: glasses are placed in the order in which drinks will be served. They should not interfere with the use of cutlery. Plates are selected and arranged depending on the type of dish and the time they are served. The plates should be no closer than 2 centimeters to the edge of the table. First of all, a large diameter serving plate is placed (near each guest). It will serve as a stand, so you can use any flat plate. A plate of smaller diameter is placed on top. To the left of them are placed small saucers or small plates for bread.

The salt shaker and containers with herbs and spices should be in the middle of the table. If necessary, gravy boats, outlets for jam and butter are installed.

Since on New Year 2020 there will be a fairly large number of drinks on the table, including alcoholic ones, it is necessary to place several glasses for each guest. Shot glasses and glasses are placed on the right side, slightly higher from the serving plate. Drink glasses are best decorated in the general style of tableware. Golden and sparkling sparkles, designs in yellow and beige tones are suitable, and colored glass is also suitable. Glasses must be renewed before serving a new dish, glasses for water remain...

Drinkware should be of different sizes and also have the appropriate shape. Small glasses are served for liqueurs and strong wines: port and sherry. For red wines, glasses with curved, slightly convex walls are suitable. For white wines, tall, elongated glasses are used, the same ones are suitable for champagne and sparkling wine.

New Year's table decor details

The completeness of any composition is given by details that may seem insignificant at first glance. Naturally, they should emphasize the overall style. You can use beads, Christmas tree decorations, snowflakes, branches of coniferous trees, as well as winter berries - cranberries, rowan, cloudberries. But remember – there shouldn’t be too many accessories!

Living plants will also look original on the New Year's table. By the way, in addition to spruce, the symbol of Christmas and New Year is poinsettia or beautiful spurge.

A bright and elegant table can be decorated using satin ribbons. It is enough to tie a large bow around the table leg or place a ribbon diagonally on the tabletop. Drink bottles decorated with flowers and snowflakes will be a spectacular decoration. Table decoration for the New Year 2020 depends only on personal taste and imagination. However, it is advisable not to forget that moderation should be followed in everything. In the Year of the Rat, the table should look as natural as possible - the simpler the decorations, the better. You should not clutter the table with small details; simply place a small figurine of the symbol of the year in the center.

The best decorative elements for the New Year's table are candles. They set the mood for a festive atmosphere and serve as additional decoration. You can use any candles, but it is better if they are colored ones. Ideal colors would be yellow and golden tones.

You can decorate the candles with your own hands: place them in beautiful golden or wooden candlesticks, add a little New Year’s theme: images of snowflakes, various fancy patterns. If you don’t have a candlestick, use a glass or saucer on which you can put some acorns, a fir cone and a twig. Use New Year's accessories: rain showers, garlands, small Christmas tree decorations.

New Year's decoration of dishes

And now, when the table is set and you can celebrate the New Year 2020, it’s time to serve treats, because the rat loves to eat. There are a lot of ideas for decorating dishes and they all depend not only on the general style of table decoration, but also on the imagination of the hostess. To decorate the New Year's table, you can use a variety of elements, not only decorative, artificial, but also edible.

Any treats prepared for the festive table can become decorations. Decorative elements can be nuts and dried fruits in a small original vase, a few seeds or grains of any cereal scattered on the tablecloth.

We suggest moving away from traditional serving and turning salads, appetizers and main dishes into decorations. Implementing this is not as difficult as it might seem - make salads in the form of New Year's toys, serve them in portions, instead of the usual fruit/meat slices, put up a Christmas tree made of fruits or meat dishes. Be sure that everyone, including the White Rat, will appreciate your efforts.

Salads, appetizers and pastries decorated in the shape of a pig will be the best New Year's decoration, which all guests at the table will certainly appreciate. Place cut vegetables or fruits on an elongated rat-shaped platter. For the legs and tail, you can use pieces of dough previously baked in the oven, the same goes for the snout. A pie or cake in the shape of a pig will look original - the dough is much easier to work with, so making it is not difficult even for a novice housewife

Remember that the ideal table is not about strict adherence to etiquette, but about celebration and fun. In the New Year, everyone should be in a good mood - have fun to your health, and the patroness of the year will take care of your well-being and the New Year 2020 will be truly magical...

Decorative design of the New Year's table 2020

The completeness of any composition is given by details that at first glance seem insignificant. To decorate the New Year's table, they use Christmas tree decorations, beads, branches of coniferous trees, branches of winter berries - rowan berries, cloudberries, cranberries. Remember - there should not be too many accessories, they should not interfere with guests.

In fact, it doesn’t matter how much your table setting meets fashion trends, because the main thing is to set the New Year’s table in a great mood. Even if the plates and cutlery are not arranged according to all the rules of etiquette, the most important thing is a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among the closest people.

We take everything uncomfortable off the table

For intimate apartments and cozy friendly gatherings, we would not recommend either large vases or solid decorations directly on the table.

It’s better to give such beauty a good place for viewing. Window sill, bedside table, chest of drawers - that’s it.

By the way, not far from the feast, it is important to prepare technical details for a comfortable evening.

A couple of clean flannel towels
Another full salt shaker. Weird wine stains on an elegant dress can greatly upset a woman, but salt always saves the day.

We're also not fans of tall, exposed candles and candelabra on the table. Because of them, guests cannot see each other, and lit candles are easy to knock over.

It is much more profitable for a large company to illuminate the New Year's meal with familiar light sources. This way, guests will be able to appreciate the dishes well.

And let the garlands be responsible for the original holiday lighting. There are so many convenient places for them! On the Christmas tree, hidden on top of the furniture, windows and doors fixed around the perimeter, on the central chandelier and around the sconces, shrouded in fluffy rain.

When celebrating a holiday according to the horoscope, we pay special attention to decorations made from citrus fruits, candles and all kinds of natural materials.

Candlesticks made from cans are a safe symbol

We hide small candles in decorative jars.

We see only small candles, deeply hidden in safe jars, as a possible alternative.

The simplest ideas for DIY candlesticks made from jars for the New Year are simple materials and 10-20 minutes of time for each container.

The principle of candlesticks is to cover the jar with a screen that will give an interesting pattern when illuminated from the inside - lace, burlap, paper silhouettes, newspapers, tying with ribbons and rope.

You can leave the jar transparent, but generously decorate the neck. Or paint with acrylic paints, having first secured a stencil for the window. And also roll in semolina, moistened with PVA glue.

Please note that it is also beneficial to hide a garland with a transparent wire in a jar:

It’s even easier to use crystal or patterned glassware - glasses, glasses, vases. This is also done in restaurants for the safety of candles.
