Deer
Although the Russian Grandfather traditionally rides a troika with gifts, and his Western counterpart rides deer, deer are preferred as New Year’s decorations. We have a couple of master classes on creating original jewelry in the form of deer.
Deer made of logs - an original New Year's decoration for the street
To create a deer, we need to select a suitable log. We make shallow holes in it and insert legs from branches there. We make a neck from a thick short branch and attach the head to it. Glue a red ball as a nose. Add a cone for the tail, horns and a scarf. It turned out to be a nice street decoration.
Wooden deer for home photo zone
This deer is suitable for both indoors and outdoors. Using a photo with step-by-step instructions, we cut out all the details of the deer. We paint them gray and connect them together. Add a bow to the deer.
Cardboard figures for home decoration for the New Year 2022
Cardboard from the packaging of household appliances is an easy hit when looking for how to decorate your house with your own hands for the New Year 2022. Winter characters from the magical forest, where Santa Claus is about to ride on a sleigh, will appeal to children and adults. Print out the silhouettes and transfer them onto cardboard from old boxes. Cut out with a stationery knife and decorate to your liking. The perfect homemade product!

Candles and New Year's candlesticks made from scrap and natural materials
Candles are magical attributes of winter holidays, goodness and comfort. Figured and colorful solutions are attractive in themselves. A simple candle will instantly be transformed with an original candlestick.
Tall and thin white candles are harmonious in glass candlesticks. This role can be played by glasses filled with beads. A large thick candle will reveal an amazing fragrance framed with cinnamon sticks. And small flat candles look unusual in fresh oranges.
Let's insulate several interior elements with fragments of forgotten sweaters. In 10 minutes, candles and vases are ready for the New Year 2022 in your home!
For lovers of natural decor, we suggest decorating installations with a cut of wood, balls, twigs and other available materials. Follow the video for a step-by-step master class on how to make an elegant installation on a piece of tree bark.
We will safely hide the candles in jars and decorate the beauty with our own hands in the style of a winter forest.
You can also take out the tall stemmed glasses and look around for shiny craft materials.
You already got the hint, didn't you? To suit your taste, with the hands of adults and children, you can decorate old dishes so elegantly that you won’t be able to take your eyes off them. Here are photos of spectacular crafts that took at most half an hour.
We decorate fruit bowls and metal wine glasses on a high stem in the same way. They are beautiful to make lush ikebana for the New Year 2022. With fir branches, cones, ribbons and small toys, including candles in the center.
Big stars for the New Year 2022
In a room with high ceilings, large openwork stars suspended above the festive table look picturesque. If you don’t want to clutter up the space, voluminous decor will decorate the walls or window opening in a new way.
In such luxurious fairy-tale charm you can attach an LED garland. Hang the openwork beauty on it. Or install a small battery-powered candle in the star. Any tape and a little dexterity - it's done!
Stars are different. The most impressive are pointed ones with 7-10 rays. And if you are not a fan of crafting with your own hands, look for elements on Aliexpress or in construction supermarkets in the decor section.
Another solution will appeal to those who like to decorate their home for the New Year effectively, but without unnecessary hassle. You can cut out stars of two sizes from cardboard, collecting them in larger or smaller pairs at different angles. Paint and sprinkle with glitter. Attach to the fishing line in the desired place. Between them, large numbers 2022 will come in very handy. Hooray, DIY decor in a matter of minutes!
Christmas trees - how to replace the traditional forest beauty
If you prefer to decorate your home with a non-traditional forest beauty, then you will like this section! Here we have collected original ideas for Christmas trees that you can make with your own hands.
Christmas tree made of garland
Let's make a large Christmas tree that takes up very little space. Draw the outline of the future Christmas tree on the wall. Using tape, safety pins or self-adhesive hooks, secure the garland along the outline. You can leave the tree as is or add tinsel to it. An ideal Christmas tree for small apartments or for owners of four-legged friends!
Interior Christmas tree made of beads
For the next Christmas tree we will need a cone and beads (Christmas tree beads are possible). You can buy a cone or make it yourself from thick paper or cardboard. Glue the beads onto the cone, moving from bottom to top. The gorgeous Christmas tree is ready!
Miniature Christmas tree made of feathers - we will make decorations for the office or study
Another interesting idea is a feather tree. We twist the cone and glue feathers onto it. Glue a bead onto each feather. This simple Christmas decoration is suitable for kindergarten.
Paper garlands for the New Year 2022 - simple, beautiful and inexpensive
Paper garlands are no less attractive. Moreover, you need paper without any frills, from the nearest store. And if you want to decorate your craft with glitter and gilding, two small jars of acrylic paint will be enough. You tint the finished suspension here and there. Voila! Exclusive for the home - a lot of positive emotions from creative leisure with kids.
Here are two master classes for simple garlands for the New Year 2022 with photos step by step. First - unusual rings. You'll have to cut it out a little bit.
Then - voluminous balls made from strips of paper attached to a thick thread or twine. The simplest DIY idea that looks like a million!
The third option for a very simple DIY garland for the home is to decorate a thick thread with stars, circles, and balls. Everything is made of paper. We stitch it on a typewriter - the airy fairy tale is ready for the New Year 2022.
Miracle tree
If you are tired of the traditional Christmas tree, then you can make a miracle tree. It can be placed on a table or chest of drawers.
You will need:
- large flower pot;
- gypsum;
- a large beautiful branch (do not break a living tree, look for a fallen one);
- gold acrylic paint;

- pendants, tinsel, Christmas tree decorations, sweets.
Procedure
- Dilute gypsum in a flower pot according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- To the thread. Wait for the plaster to dry.
- Paint the wood gold.
- Cover the plaster "soil" with paper gift filler.

The miracle tree is ready!
New Year's accent in retro style - old cards
Old New Year's cards will make a colorful pendant. Leaving them in their original form or cutting out the shaped blanks, the postcards are fastened together in a long chain with a rope or ribbon. Stapler, glue, tape: any handicraft all-rounder will help here. You can even simplify the task altogether - secure the postcards on the rope with small clothespins.
If you want to add shine and brightness, then a thread with large beads, rain and colored ribbons will add a decorative touch.
DIY New Year's pine cone pendants
One of the most elegant ideas on how to decorate a house with your own hands for the New Year 2022 is pendants. You can use natural material associated with the winter forest. Cones, spruce branches, bare tree branches. And, of course, rain in all variants. From fluffy silver plastic pendants to thin twisted threads with beads.
The basis of the New Year's hanging in the photo below is a foam ball. And in a budget version with our own hands, we simply crumple the newspaper into a spherical shape and glue it on top with wide tape. We take the cones with glue from a hot gun.
See what beautiful volumetric solutions you can make for your home in just half an hour.
We combine large cedar cones, ribbons and chains to suit your taste. We get ceremonial volumetric elements to attach under a chandelier or wall lamp.
And don’t forget that playing with contrast will help you uniquely decorate your home for the New Year 2022. Accentuate disheveled pine cones with clear neighbors—Christmas tree decorations with rigid geometry. Or combine dried natural materials, live plants and LED string lights. We guarantee vivid impressions from your own efforts!
The photo shows an ode to minimalism and contrasting combinations of materials. Nature and civilization are nearby: this is the special poetry of our time.
Five interesting crafts for the New Year 2022 in a concise video with master classes. Even kids will find it easy to decorate their new items. Cut, glue, paint! Watch the ball of cones from 07:07.
New Year's pendants in the shape of a crescent
There is another voluminous composition that will not leave home and guests indifferent. Crescent moon with formal winter trim. Or a crescent with stars. We attach the heavenly bodies to a barely noticeable string, or add a garland on which we hang the element. In any case, the feeling of a New Year's fairy tale will appear immediately.
We are making a wonderful installation together with the little ones, because the work includes techniques accessible to children. We cut out a crescent shape from cardboard. Take a size that is not small, at least half the size of a Whatman paper (A3 or larger).
Then you can place decorations on the month. Pine cones, fir branches, several Christmas tree balls, dried natural materials and other sundries: you can decorate the Earth satellite with anything to your liking.
All this is attached with your own hands using a glue gun after you create the structure of the cardboard blank. This could be an unusual painting with a relief technique, acrylic, or drops of leaked glue from a hot gun. But the easiest option is to cover the crescent with fabric or wallpaper in light colors with light gilding.
A more labor-intensive, but extremely effective decor is to tie it with thick twine. We pick up the turns of the rope with glue and carefully lay them over the entire surface of the cardboard.
Hang a lucky symbol for the New Year 2022 on a window, in the opening of a high door, on a wall or chandelier.
How to make decorations for kindergarten
Let's talk about simple decor options. Now we won’t talk about decorating the assembly hall. We will limit ourselves to a group or the facade of a kindergarten. Of course, you can apply any of the ideas presented above. But you can create crafts with your children.
I really liked the symbol of winter - the mitten. Look how they came up with placing them on the wall.
Decorate the door with inscriptions and handprints with them.
We created a whole winter tree on the door.
They also made a wreath. It turned out very nice.
Don't forget about New Year's wall newspapers and posters. They are still relevant today, because they are so interesting to look at.
You can write jokes and poems.
Or imagine the students as snowmen.
Such posters look very elegant.
In addition, collages and various cut-out pictures are used. They are glued with masking or double-sided tape.
Christmas wreath made of different materials
Do not ignore the bare wall in the hallway and the front door. Make a unique New Year's wreath from available materials.
Look at the examples in the photo on how to decorate your house for the New Year 2022 by making a wreath with your own hands. It seems to be a minimum of decor and easy work, but it enlivens the space no worse than a bulky purchased composition.
Large hoop to decorate with fir branches and miniature gifts hung directly from the wreath. What's not the perfect accent for your home for the New Year 2022? Do it yourself - in 20 minutes!
And if you think that cones, wooden cuts and accessories for crafts are expensive, then we hasten to please you with other ideas. Again paper, cardboard, disposable plates and the remains of bright fabric. A little imagination and the right master class: and now an unusual wreath inspires you to look forward to the New Year 2022.
An idea for a kindergartener made from cardboard, rain and Christmas balls. A wreath is made in 15 minutes.
Just twist the strips of fabric and don't forget to use all-purpose glue. A glue gun will work too.

You can even observe minimalism in this craft. Music books, wire and lighting, and solid-colored balls will help decorate your home without classic luxury.

Choice of colors
The selection of colors is important for creating a festive atmosphere, harmony, good mood and energy. After all, shades affect a person’s emotional state, and the New Year should pass on the most positive note.
Fashionable shades
Trending colors in 2022:
| green | natural, combined with coniferous branches |
| white | neutral, symbolizing snow, combined with different tones |
| blue, blue | associated with the water element, which is appropriate in the year of the Water Tiger |
| red | a symbol of love, vital energy, suitable for creating bright accents in New Year's decor |
| golden | harmonizes with different shades, acts as a good addition, demonstrates luxury |
| silver | creates a fabulous atmosphere, sparkles like snow in the sun |
For each of these tones, you can choose shades that together will create harmony in your apartment or house.
Matching colors
Basic rules of combination:
- cold tones can be combined with each other or with neutrals, just like warm ones;
- the presence of more than three primary shades is undesirable;
- There should not be many color accents, except for those styles where this is not possible.
Matching tones:
- neutral (white, black) - with any colors;
- yellow - with gray, blue, green;
- red - with blue, yellow, light green;
- blue – orange, red, yellow;
If the Christmas tree is artificial with silver snow, the decor in blue, blue, and white colors will look good. Golden and red decorations will harmonize with natural pine.
Which shades are best not to combine?
They don’t harmonize at all - red with pink and orange, crimson with green, yellow with purple. Their combination spoils the impression and greatly hurts the eye. If such shades are present together in the interior, they are located far from each other.
Sunny orange is a festive ringleader
Citrus fruits will be a separate line in an essay on the topic of how to decorate a house for the New Year 2022. Oranges, tangerines, grapefruits go into full use. Bright baskets of whole fruits decorated with patterns of carnation umbrellas. Graceful figures made from dried peels. Christmas tree decorations and openwork pendants on windows and walls.

What you might need
To avoid searching for everything you need at the last moment, think about what you will use as decorations.
If these are snowflakes, prepare sheets of white paper in advance. Or not white. You might want to cut out colored snowflakes.
- You will need spruce or pine branches and cones.
- Artificial berries, satin ribbons, beads.
- If you know how to knit, prepare yarn in New Year's colors: white, red, green, blue or light blue, silver. Glue, decorative candles.
- Lemons, tangerines, oranges, grapefruits
It is now fashionable to use dried citrus fruits as decorations. They also need to be prepared in advance and in large quantities.
Here is the prescription:
- Cut the fruit into beautiful circles, not very thick;
- Place on baking sheet;
- Dry in the oven at 30 degrees with the door ajar for about 5-6 hours. Check for readiness;
- For longer storage as a decoration, coat each circle with acrylic varnish.
In this way, you can make many blanks and use them individually when assembling a garland or Christmas wreath. You can stack them, thread a ribbon through them and hang them like a Christmas tree decoration. Or use it as an element of a New Year's composition. A variety of photos of New Year's decor with citrus fruits will give you ideas.
Use unvarnished citrus fruits to make aromatic grog or mulled wine.
