Preparing for the New Year's holiday is already a holiday in itself. And although there is only one New Year's Eve, we are looking forward to it with children's impatience all year round. It is not surprising that I want to furnish it so that later with great pleasure I remember the celebration and admire the photographs. If you celebrate the New Year at home with people close to you, make the atmosphere of the holiday unique and stylish. For example, choose vintage as your main theme. This is a win-win solution that will give you an atmosphere of real magic.
Start with postcards. You can make them yourself using the scrapbooking technique. Find and print a suitable image, decorating it with ribbons, cardboard figures and lace. The prints of old family photos will be especially chic. Your guests will certainly keep such invitations as a keepsake.
Use beautiful engraved glasses made of expensive glass or crystal for setting the festive table. Plates with vintage patterns and ornaments will be the highlight of the table setting. If you still have your grandmother's porcelain service, this is his crown jewel.
Be sure to use cute trinkets: vintage figures, napkin rings, Christmas balls. Will look good candles in candlesticks. It is advisable to adhere to one color scheme in the choice of accessories.
Napkins and tablecloths can be just plain, or better decorated with embroidery and lace. If you've inherited handmade lace textiles, this is a fantastic option.
Vintage Christmas tree decorations can be made simply from plywood or cardboard. Stick the corresponding pictures on them, cover with varnish and decorate with ribbons and lace.
Use decoupage technique and for making balls. You can take foam blanks as a basis for them, and buy vintage napkins at a craft store.
And again, old stocks that you have probably kept carefully for many years. Glass figurines and balls will look especially good. Even if they look a little shabby, it doesn't matter.
Use vintage-style garlands to decorate your tree and room. They can be made from cardboard and napkins using decoupage technique.
Christmas tree lighting can also be prepared in a retro spirit. You can easily find on sale modern antique garlands, but with LED sources.
A New Year's wreath on the door or over the fireplace is another attribute of the festive decoration. Use the same toys, lace and cardboard figures for decoration.
Even if you don't have a fireplace in your living room, on New Years you can use an imitation of it. Put candles in it, and decorate the shelf with photographs in beautiful frames and a New Year's composition.
Even a chandelier that you are used to can miraculously transform into something extraordinary for one night with the help of figurines and candles.
Of course, there should be gifts under the tree, in which case they should be wrapped in craft paper and tied with beautiful lace and ribbons.
Make sure that everything living room decoration was sustained in one color scheme, only then the picture will turn out to be whole and festive.
And the most important thing is that the hosts of the evening must themselves correspond to the chosen style. In addition, you must invite your guests to prepare for this. Then this New Year will really be luxurious!
