What to put instead of a Christmas tree for the New Year?

Branches decoration

If you like the smell of spruce, to save valuable floor space, you should buy a few spruce branches, split them slightly at the ends and put them in water. Decorated with balls, the "bouquet" will look no worse than a full-fledged Christmas tree.

Do not put branches near the battery - the needles will quickly crumble. Add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablet of aspirin to the water.

Even from ordinary branches of deciduous trees collected on the street, you can make several beautiful compositions by hanging cones, Christmas decorations or a garland on them.

Christmas tree made of stepladders or slats

A volumetric structure can be made if there is room in the apartment, but there are no cats. A minimalistic beauty made of stairs will surely surprise guests and delight with her extravagance.

Long wooden slats can be connected from above and used as a frame for hanging balls. And if you use a jigsaw and self-tapping screws, a stylish Christmas tree made of thin bars and slats will become the main decoration of the house.

Christmas tree made of thread and paper

If special materials and tools are needed to create a voluminous wooden spruce, then such a wall craft can be created from what is at home: only strong thick threads and pins are required.

The composition can be done with a child, decorating the wall in the nursery. Use thread pom-poms, plastic and homemade toys, dried orange or lemon slices as decorations.

Spruce from plywood or furniture board

Luxurious art object in scandinavian style looks concise and modern. To create you need a wooden shield and an electric jigsaw.

To make the tree look complete, you should treat it with wood stain or tinted with oil - so it will preserve the structure of the tree.

The frame can be supplemented with shelves by placing New Year's decor and gifts on them.

Wall Christmas tree made of sticks

Budget, but very popular option in eco-style... Such a composition is done simply by having a drill with a small drill. The base is washed and dried sticks of various sizes that can be dyed, as well as a strong thread.

The sticks are arranged from top to bottom from small to large, connected with a thread. The finished craft is decorated at your discretion.

Christmas tree made of photographs and postcards

A wonderful way to create decor for a future party or family gatherings: such a tree will definitely attract everyone's attention, remind you of the events of the outgoing year and give you a reason for conversation.

If you want to insert photos into an album after the New Year holidays, use double-sided tape that does not leave marks. Also, pictures can be attached to pins if the wall is covered with wallpaper.

Composition of branches

An interesting way to replace the Christmas tree and save usable space is to attach branches to the wall, decorating them with light toys.

Real branches can be replaced with artificial ones, since live spruce paws will quickly throw off needles, being without water.

Christmas tree from books

An eccentric composition of books is one of the fashion trends. We recommend taking rarely used books as material.

To make the decoration stable, arrange the books in the form of a low pyramid. The main advantage of this solution - its efficiency, and minus - fragility.

Sculpture made of fiberboard and kraft paper

An original composition will require special materials, but the result will pay off: you definitely will not meet such a tree at any of your acquaintances... You will need sheets of fiberboard, sawn into long triangles, and a roll of craft paper. It must be crumpled and wrapped around the frame, and then decorated with Christmas decorations.

Drawn or printed tree

The New Year's beauty can be depicted on anything: a piece of plywood, a wall, a mirror and a refrigerator. The tree can be drawn with chalk on a slate board, and can also be applied with white paint on a wooden pallet.

Another interesting solution: print a photo of the tree on several sheets and add garlands.

To create a festive mood, it is not necessary to spend money on a Christmas tree "like everyone else": just stock up on unusual ideas, connect your imagination and start creating.
