If your home is decorated in a minimalist style, choose the appropriate decor.

New Year's compositions from branches

Decoration for a holiday can be made from materials collected in the nearest forest or park: for example, from branches. The paws of any coniferous tree will act as a basis: Christmas trees, pines, firs. Juniper is also suitable. You can decorate the branches with anything: fruits, Christmas toys, flowers, sweets, any other natural or artificial details. Focus on your taste. If you decide to make a bouquet consisting entirely of natural materials, it is better to fix them all in a floral sponge so the decoration will last longer, and the needles will not fall off ahead of time.

New Year's compositions from nobilis

A separate item in all the variety of festive decor are decorations from the nobilis of the Danish spruce of a pleasant green-blue shade with lush needles. It is not only beautiful, but also practical: much more durable than an ordinary Christmas tree. It is easy to create very beautiful crafts from this material, even without being a master. Branches have been sold in flower shops, at Christmas tree ruins or in the relevant supermarket departments since November. What can be made of nobilis? Yes, anything: wreaths on the table or on the door, small Christmas trees, bouquets and decor in boxes, garlands, decorations for windows and arches. At the same time, crafts from nobilis can be hung both in the house and in the yard, since this variety can withstand even extremely low temperatures. 

Instruction manual

The most popular decoration of this type of spruce is a wreath. It turns out to be magnificent and very solemn. At the same time, it does not need to be decorated in a special way, since the bluish needles themselves are an ornament. The wreath itself is made according to the same scheme as any other. 

Perhaps the most unusual decoration that can be assembled from nobilis is a mini Christmas tree. This option is perfect for those who do not want to put a large tree. For such a craft you will need a minimum of "ingredients": branches of a Danish spruce, a floral sponge, a bucket or a small planter and decorations. To create a composition of 30 cm, take a branch up to a meter long, and if the tree is about 50 cm in height, then use 2-3 pieces.
