A beautiful tradition has taken root all over the world, has acquired a more secular character, the wreath has also become a New Year's symbol.

Nuts are a wonderful material for making New Year's decorations. Use a glue gun to attach them to the circle.
Colored burlap
- Fine, textured pliable material - burlap, cut into squares with a side of 15 - 20 cm.
- Fold each square in half with a triangle, then pull the long ends to the central corner (connect the sharp corners with the straight ones). It turns out a square with a depression.
- With small studs or pins, we attach the free edge of the square to the base, braided with straw or twine, overlap the next, gradually filling the surface of the ring.
An unusual wreath with soft corners can be decorated with bows, small cones, sweets or Christmas balls, leaves cut from the same burlap, spruce twigs, placing them in any order.

Having prepared identical wooden rectangles, fix them on the base in an arbitrary or strict geometric order. Additional decor - pine legs, bows, berries. An example is in the photo.
Snow wreath made of paper napkins

- We attach each triangle with a pin to the foam template, as shown in the photo, then, as close as possible to the first second, third, and so on, until the entire surface of the base ring is hidden under an impromptu snow layer.
- Decorate the snow circle with a bright red bow, one or four (imitating 4 candles).
Unusual material
The original material is a chimney. It is enough to bend a shiny, neat exhaust pipe that is the same along its entire length with a ring, and mask the junction with a beautiful ribbon, New Year's "rain".
Christmas decorations
As a base, you can use a wire ram - a clothes hanger. Leave the hook intact to secure the masterpiece. Bend the rest of the wire and bend it again, now in the form of a ring, and then hook the very tip onto our hook.
