A wonderful decoration of any room will be the star symbolizing Christmas. It can be not only the subject of New Year’s home decor, but a gift for this holiday to relatives or friends.

For the New Year composition for 2018 in the form of a star you will need:

• artificial flowers of a plant called eustoma;
• sponge used in the flower industry;
• artificial or possibly natural spruce branches;
• pink silk ribbon;
• two types of wire, one of which must be made of aluminum;
• wire for bouquets;
• scissors;
• secateurs;
• plain paper with print;
• christmas tinsel.

The process of creating a future composition should begin with the formation of its framework. When working with aluminum wire, a pentagonal sprocket should come out.

The contour of the resulting star must be decorated with New Year's balls or beads of preferably one color scheme. It is necessary to take into account such an important nuance that the middle of the composition should remain free at this stage.

Another type of star decor will be imitated New Year's gifts. For this purpose, the sponge is cut into small cubes in size, each of which is wrapped with printed paper. The edges of the paper are bound.

Each of the impromptu gifts must be tied with a narrow silk ribbon.

The selected flower is framed with fir branches. Satin ribbon firmly fastens the structured structure. After that, miniature gifts are inserted inside it.

To hold the finished New Year's composition will be a large fragment of the sponge. At the end of the formation of the crafts, a floral wire is attached deeply to it, attached to the base of the star.

Do-it-yourself Christmas composition 2018 can be represented by a traditional coniferous wreath with one exception: it can not be hung on the door as usual, but statically placed on a festive or coffee table.

For the independent manufacture of such an option for home or office decor, you will need:

• thick cardboard;
• wrapping;
• fir branches;
• secateurs;
• scissors;
• thin wire;
• twine;
• tapes;
• christmas beads and balls;
• spruce or pine cones, walnuts;
• silicone glue.

First of all, two identical diameters of a circle are cut out of thick cardboard, between which paper is laid to give volume.

Parts of the structure are firmly interconnected by twine, at the same time I arrange spruce twigs in a circle, thereby forming a wreath.

Sprigs of spruce or other coniferous plants are located on both sides of the wreath. They can slightly bend around the structure.

Coniferous wreath is decorated with small Christmas balls of contrasting flowers located at a distance from each other.

Alternate them with ribbons, as well as cones and walnuts planted on silicone glue, which can previously be coated with special paint or artificial snow.

The original idea of \u200b\u200bhome decor will be New Year's compositions for 2018 with candles. In order to create them, you can use both natural wax candles and paraffin candles.

To form the composition shown in the photo above, stock up on the following materials and tools:

• large paraffin candle;
• decorative satin ribbon;
• raffia;
• flower flasks made of plastic;
• flower wire;
• needles;
• pine or spruce cones;
• live or artificial carnations;
• checkered fabric with some kind of print;
• cotton or any filler;
• golden color foil;
• a variety of Christmas decorations;
• balls for playing table tennis;
• thin rubber band;
• with scissors.

First of all, in the process of creating a composition, wire loops are formed from pieces of wire. Each of them must be inserted into a tennis ball, after which it is carefully wrapped with foil chosen to your taste and decorated with raffia or organza, which is also successfully used in this process.

In the future, it is advisable to complement the decor of the balls with chiffon or satin ribbons.

At the next stage of work on the structure, using a thin rubber band, fix around the candles plastic flasks intended for long-term moistening of short colors.

Reliably fixed around the paraffin body of the candle, flower flasks should be carefully filled with water. Spruce or pine branches preliminarily trimmed to the same length and carefully removed from below from excess needles are carefully inserted into them. Several tubes, alternating with filled, are left empty.

A candle so framed by coniferous branches is placed in a bag pre-sewn from checkered fabric. To give the product volume, cotton wool or another variety of the filler chosen at its discretion is also placed there.

At the end of the work on creating the composition, it is necessary to cut off the cloves, leaving only 7-10 centimeters from the bud, and place them in the empty flower tubes left before this.

In upper mounts christmas balls  thread a thin wire. With it, balls are tied in different places of the structure. Cones can also become an additional decor.

Using a floral sponge, you can create very creative New Year's compositions. Such a sponge is also called floristic polystyrene foam or an oasis. This porous material allows you to reliably fix the stems of a wide variety of plants inside it.

For a Christmas composition with hard coniferous branches, it is advisable to purchase a sponge of gray or brown colors. If the composition is planned to use fresh flowers, you need a green foam that effectively absorbs moisture. Its main advantage is an impeccable ability to hold plants fixed in it at different angles.

The green floral sponge is made in a rectangular and round shape. Absorbed moisture, it increases its weight thirty times. This kind of foam can be cut with a knife without problems, which makes it possible to give it, if necessary, a variety of shapes.

The acquired floristic sponge is prepared in advance for working with the composition. Even in dry form, it is cut, giving the necessary size and shape. In the case of using material for living plants, it should be immersed with light pressure in water and immediately released. After waiting for the top of the sponge to reach the water level in the container, the material must be removed to prevent it from getting wet. For the whole process you need no more than half a minute. Having done the described manipulations, the sponge is placed on a napkin so that excess liquid drains.

So, having become acquainted with the features of the material that is basic for the composition presented, you can prepare everything you need to create it:

• wire or peat basket for ceiling pots;
• floristic sponge;
• container for sponge;
• spruce or pine branches;
• secateurs;
• artificial or natural moss;
• christmas tinsel.

First of all, it is necessary to give the shape of the chosen sponge the size necessary for the cache-pot.

Given such a nuance as the use of coniferous branches for decoration, you need to opt for a gray-green sponge that does not need to be soaked in water.

A floral sponge is placed in a special container for it.

Armed with a secateurs, you need to cut branches. Coniferous branches for this composition are preferred to form different lengths and subsequently placed inside the floristic sponge in a chaotic manner, but so that the sponge does not peep through them.

A filled container with a sponge and coniferous branches is lowered into the basket. For greater effect, the top of the basket is covered with moss.

The final touch will be a spectacular outfit of coniferous branches. For this, it is recommended to use New Year's beads, cones and even a luminous garland with small lanterns.

Another intricate variety of New Year's compositions is the glasses-candlesticks that decorate the festive table, the template of which this article offers.

For such a spectacular decor you will need:

• several transparent wine glasses;
• the same number of paraffin candles;
• christmas tinsel;
• salt.

Glasses for the New Year's composition can be grouped on the table or put in a row along the entire table.

The lack of decor on the glasses is a significant plus, allowing you to choose their own content.

Glasses are placed upside down on which candles are placed. It should be noted that candles may not be the same height.

Glasses can be placed on a spacer or saucer and in this case, imitate snow on their bottom using fine salt.

The entire cavity of the glasses, if desired, can be filled with small Christmas balls or sweets in a colorful shiny wrapper.

The legs of the glasses at their base can be bandaged with shiny serpentine.

The Christmas compositions of various kinds presented in the article will give an opportunity to creatively decorate your home for the holiday.
