New Year's signs about the Christmas tree
You should decorate the tree only with toys that do not have sharp corners. Soft, rounded shapes symbolize calm, peace and well-being. In the Year of the Pig, the most popular colors will be yellow, brown, and green. Choose jewelry in this color. A large amount of tinsel and paper garlands is also welcome. Throwing away your Christmas tree immediately after the holiday is a bad decision. The tree should please all household members for at least two weeks.

Signs for New Year's morning
It is worth paying attention to the person who will be the first to cross your threshold on January 1st. If it is an elderly man, the year will be measured, calm, without shocks or surprises. Old woman - expect the arrival of relatives and frequent meetings in the home circle. A young man will be a bright and memorable period for the whole family. Girl - you should prepare for love experiences, frequent mood changes, travel and even changes in professional activity. If a boy enters the house first, expect many small events that will delight all family members. Girl - there will probably be a new baby or a wedding.
Cross stitched piglets
Traditionally, we don’t ignore embroidery fans! You can embroider a small pig and decorate it with a pillowcase, apron or napkin.

Signs for New Year's Eve itself
On New Year's Eve, go outside and look at the sky. Pure and many stars - to stability and prosperity. There are clouds and the sky is not visible - the year will not be the easiest, and sometimes problems will arise literally out of nowhere.
Pay attention to the moment when the champagne is opened. The bottle should not be shaken for greater effect or to add adrenaline to the blood of relatives and guests. It is enough to cool and watch where the cork falls. On the table - you won’t feel the need for food. On the floor - you will probably have to tighten your belts. Rolled under the table - the whole family will gather often throughout the year. Fell next to a certain person - luck will smile on him and he will be guaranteed good luck in all matters for the entire 12 months. If the cork ends up in one of the dishes, consider yourself very lucky. Keep it as a talisman - it will be a good amulet against all troubles and misfortunes. Just throw it in your bag and don't throw it away until next year!
Where to celebrate New Year 2031 inexpensively, abroad
As the New Year holidays approach, prices for trips and tickets abroad begin to rise rapidly. Therefore, if there is a chance to purchase them in advance, you need to take advantage of this opportunity. Mostly, such vouchers are purchased in September or October, and the most profitable option is considered to be purchasing such tickets in the summer.
The main inexpensive destinations during the New Year holidays are:
- Europe . This includes countries such as Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, France, the Netherlands and Germany. Flights to these countries are considered quite inexpensive, and prices within these countries are the lowest in Europe.
- Southeast Asia . These are Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. These countries have already been sufficiently studied and travel there is not uncommon. The cost of air tickets is slightly more expensive than to the above-mentioned European countries. But if we take prices within these countries, they are significantly lower than prices in Russia.
Although the rest of the European countries are ready to accept tourists, their prices within the country and the cost of flights are by no means considered quite acceptable. Although they are also part of the Schengen zone.
Destinations to other countries are considered relatively expensive. And not every working person can afford to travel to these distant countries, especially during the New Year holidays. Everything here is considered too expensive, from flights to hotel accommodations.
Love omens
If you celebrate the New Year together with your significant other, then you can find out about the development of your relationship in the future. Pay attention to the moment when the clock strikes midnight and everyone raises their glasses. If your chosen one drank every drop, there is no need to fear for your love. You will be together all next year and nothing threatens your tender feelings. Left a little at the bottom - some difficulties and misunderstandings are possible. He drank the glass in several separate sips - it’s probably with you that he connects all his plans for the future. If you took a sip only once and put the glass down, constant quarrels and misunderstandings await you.
How to sew a pig from a sock or stocking, from nylon and padding polyester
Now prepare your old unnecessary socks, stockings or tights. Let's give them a new life in the form of funny animals. And don’t forget about threads and needles!
Cute sock pig
You will need: old children's tights, thread, scissors, needle, ribbon, beads.
Manufacturing process:
1. Trim the top and bottom of the tights. Fill them with padding polyester or cotton wool. Sew up the base and legs.
2. Now we will make a muzzle from the remaining part. Find a suitable piece and stuff it with padding polyester.
3. Now look at how to sew it.
4. Sew the patch in the same way as the muzzle. Twist the ears from the leftovers and sew them on.
5. Connect the head and body. Sew the paws.
6. Next, sew on the eyes and make any decoration.
This is how you can simply sew a soft toy.
Or you can make a little pig like this. You will understand everything using the diagram and brief description below.
Divide the sock into three parts, the heel is for the ears, the lower large half is for the body, and the upper part with an elastic band is for tightening and separating the head from the abdomen. Buttons will help indicate the tail, eyes and snout. Make the legs from pieces of fabric.
If you don't like to sew, take hot glue and use it to secure all the pieces together.
Now the promised craft in the form of a decorative hanger.
Decorative hanger “The Three Little Pigs”
You will need: thin wooden slats or a finished wooden hanger; screws with hooks; Super glue; artificial flowers and twigs; pale pink nylon (children's nylon socks or knee socks); sewing threads to match the nylon, as well as black or dark brown; pink-beige fleece or felt for ears; padding polyester for stuffing; long sewing needle; black beads for eyes; wire 0.4-1 mm in diameter; cosmetic blush and brush.
Manufacturing process:
1. Take a children's nylon sock and cut off the elastic band and the seam on the toes, leaving only uniform nylon. Then cut the rest of the sock lengthwise. You will get a large canvas.
2. Roll a tight ball for the patch from padding polyester and wrap it in cloth. Fold the corners of the nylon together, stretch and tie with thread. Cut off the excess nylon close to the knot.
3. Then roll a large ball for the head and also wrap it in nylon. Then stretch the nylon, tie it with thread and cut off the excess nylon.
4. Insert a thread of a contrasting color into the needle and insert the needle in the center of the wrong side and bring the needle out in the center of the right side. Make 4 constrictions, passing the needle the same way from the wrong side to the front.
5. Now cut out the ears from felt or fleece according to the pattern. Coat the bases with super glue and glue to the head. Next, glue the patch, but do not forget to embroider the nostrils on it with a contrasting thread. Next, sew beads in the form of eyes. Embroider thin eyebrows.
6. To make a pig with its butt turned, also roll a ball from padding polyester, wrap it in nylon and make just one constriction. And then cut a piece of wire, wrap it with a thin layer of padding polyester, then wrap it with nylon and secure it with matching thread. Bend the tail into a spiral and glue it to the butt.
7. Take a ready-made hanger or glue it from slats, screw in self-tapping screws with hooks and decorate the frame with flowers and branches. Coat the edges of the slats with super glue and glue the pigs. And then use a brush to rouge the animals’ cheeks and butt.

Attracting good luck in the Year of the Pig
Not many people get to see a pig on New Year's Eve. To win over the symbol of the year, you should visit her if possible at least before January 19th (for example, go to a petting zoo). Take some treats with you and find out the future based on your pig's behavior. If the animal eats your gifts with pleasure, then you have received a blessing from him. If you sniff for a long time and carefully taste, you will have to put in a lot of effort to make the year go smoothly. If the pig refuses the offering, do not be upset and rely only on yourself. Perhaps you will have better luck with other signs for the New Year 2021!
Zodiac signs and their images
You definitely need to celebrate the New Year in a good mood. But this is not always enough. The likelihood of opening up to the maximum on a festive night and receiving the blessing of the stars increases if you listen to the recommendations of wise astrologers. According to the horoscope, different outfits, settings and even moods are suitable for representatives of the elements.
Of course, there is no talk of forced emotions, but perhaps you should pay attention to a certain direction of thought, take a closer look at relationships with loved ones. Many people forget that New Year is more of a family holiday than a party for friends. When surrounded by family, the atmosphere becomes especially warm and cozy.
Advice. If you have to celebrate the New Year away from your family, just call - your family’s voices will wrap you in care and allow you to forget about the distance.
As for clothes, on New Year's Eve you should choose not only those colors and styles that best emphasize your belonging to the elements. The Yellow Pig welcomes experimentation with a touch of adventure. Airy skirts and flowing dresses, bright colors or calm deep shades - the right choice speeds up the fulfillment of desires and opens the door to happy moments and joy.
Earth element
For these signs, the coming New Year is especially close, because the Pig belongs to the same element. You don’t need to make any effort, just remember your real self, allow your character to emerge - strong, leading exclusively to happiness.
- Taurus knows a lot about luxury, so you shouldn’t stray from the beaten path. Dresses made from expensive fabrics, precious details and rich shades. The solidity of the sign will be emphasized by gold and platinum. Makeup should match your New Year's attire: deep shades and muted shimmer.
- Virgo strives for practicality, and New Year's celebrations will be no exception. Pretentious styles and flashy colors will not reflect the fullness of nature in the same way as the laconic cut of an outfit in milky or cream shades will. For those who want something brighter, noble burgundy and confident brick are suitable. Small earrings with a twist or a wide bracelet will help complete the perfect look.
- The conservative nature of Capricorn is attracted to monochromatic sets. You can show true chic by complementing a flowing silk dress with massive handmade jewelry. The interweaving of stones will enhance the gloss and richness of the outfit.
Air element
The coming New Year will require adding just a little solidity to the representatives of the elements “flitting through life”. Accessories will allow you to lightly ground the energy of the air. The pig appreciates freedom-loving natures and will gladly bestow happiness on everyone who does not give in to difficulties and is ready to move forward.
- Geminis are close to the principle of pairing, so it will not be confusing for them which year is coming - the Pig or the Boar. On the contrary, the twins will immediately find a way to emphasize the tandem symbol: if there is a bracelet, then two, the design must be symmetrical. As for the shades, the solution is simple: they remain earthy, but with an airy note, for example, light green and soft blue.
- Celebrating the New Year, Libra will show their contradictory nature with the help of contrasting outfits. Lush ruffles are combined with a narrow top, sparkles highlight the matte fabric. Large accessories, such as paired bracelets or massive earrings, can balance the look.
- Aquarius can allow itself to shine and shimmer like a rushing stream in the glare of the sun. Flowing shimmering fabrics, bright jewelry and daring makeup will sound in unison with a luxurious hairstyle.
Fire element
The burning nature of representatives of fire signs will find a response in bright deep shades, lush styles and chic textures. In the light of sparklers, sparkling decorations will sparkle in a special way, attracting good luck in the New Year.
- Lionesses are captivated by royal outfits, so you shouldn’t deny yourself this New Year either. Hollywood-style clothes will give the New Year's mood the right direction, allowing you to feel the significance of the holiday. Another, no less noticeable, image will be Greek. Like goddesses, lioness girls will appreciate flowing fabrics, bright hues and statement jewelry. You can complement the rich purple and orange tones with golden shoes and even a real tiara.
- Determined Aries can safely wear scarlet and orange colors for the New Year. You can balance out the noticeable shade with a closed cut. Floor-length skirts look impressive - fluffy and shiny. In order not to overload the image, you should choose simple accessories.
- Sagittarius in the New Year will be the embodiment of tenderness and tranquility. Draperies and unusual cuts look great on pastel-colored outfits. The lowered line of the shoulders will add piquancy to the image, and a light veil will add mystery.
Water element
The emotional ocean of water signs is constantly changing, rapidly and inevitably turning from a calm surface into a raging and sparkling storm. It’s the same with outfits for the New Year: it’s better to follow your impulses, choosing details that suit your mood.
- A light blue or coral dress with sparkles will help you see the gentle and sensitive nature of Pisces The sea wave will be set off by sandals with golden inserts. Shoes with shimmering heels or a handbag studded with rhinestones will add special chic.
- Scorpios are easy to recognize on New Year's Day: their outfits are full of colors, and their high heels confidently click. It is the representatives of this sign who know how to present animal prints and furs like no other. Celebrate the New Year in mustard and purple or give preference to scarlet and lilac, any decision will lead Scorpios to success.
- Cancers to celebrate the New Year in calm cream and beige shades, and add playfulness and audacity to the style. Whether it's a low collar and an unexpected cutout at the back, or a low-key updo with sudden fluffy feathers and pearls, crayfish are full of surprises. It’s better to ground the look with low-heeled shoes.
Among the many parting words and recommendations, there is one most important one: you need to celebrate the New Year with a wide smile in the circle of true friends and loving family members.
