Christmas is a time of family celebration when rooms mood, scents and Christmas decorations help feel the winter atmosphere and create a cozy feast for yourself and others. Decorative lighting , lamps, candles, fir and the smell of pine needles , Christmas decorations , deer figures , gifts symbolism and beautifully decorated Christmas tree are things that are typically used in room bouquets.

Homemade Christmas decorations and compositions

If you want to create Christmas decorations yourself, I recommend starting with a joint activity for the whole family, in the forest collecting materials. In recent years, wreaths of branches are very relevant, which can then be supplemented with strings of lights as well as with hot glue glue different decorations. This year, in anticipation of the holidays, I have attached a large wreath of branches to the fireplace in my house, but it can also be hung at the entrance door or any free wall.

• Wreath of branches. If you want to braid a very large wreath, you will need a metal ring base, or the wreath should also be made from raspberry branches, which firmly hold the round shape of the wreath. Crowns of other branches with large diameter will deform. If the family is green-minded and does not want to cut down the Christmas tree for the holiday, then such a wreath can serve also for the central festive place where gifts are placed and everyone gathers on Christmas Eve.

• For the green-minded , I recommend printing a picture of a Christmas tree on a large piece of fabric and then hanging it up every year and also a Christmas tree printed on fabric can be decorated t with balls and lamps.

• The light of candles and lamps adds a lot to the festive mood . I recommend choosing warm lamps light, because they are cozier. Cold light bulbs should be chosen if you want to create an ice castle atmosphere in the room, when all the Christmas decorations are snow-white and illustratively depict winter with snow and icicles. For Children of the family who are fans of the cartoon "Heart of Ice" will definitely be happy in the house with such moods.

• If the living spaces are very spacious, you can not be afraid to bring winter symbols into them, which are in larger sizes, for example, to place a wooden sleigh with gifts near the Christmas tree, in a large composition container you can put together pine, spruce and juniper branches, supplement them with strings of lights, and the festive atmosphere is guaranteed.
• Large candlesticks also look very beautiful in spacious rooms , in classically decorated rooms it can be at least 1.5 m high five-ribbed candlestick with long candles that match the tone of the rest of the decorations.
• In a country house with the corresponding interior, you can bring different sizes of wood into the room blocks and place candles in glass cylinders on them. It is important to respect the interior of the room and with for decorations to complement it instead of trying to hide something.

Where to find ideas?

A lot of ideas for Christmas decorations can be found in the Pinterest application. You will find tutorials there both those who like to work with paper and those who value natural materials in making decorations presence. Most of all, I recommend sticking to monotone decorations , sprucing up your environment. One elements of a specific color will be more noticeable in the overall view than those of two or more tones in the same volume. The other thing that is it is essential to follow one stylistic , so that all the things that are used to decorate the room in their are compatible with each other.

May this holiday be bright and warm!
