Ideas for outdoor xmas decorating

When the house is already decorated for the holidays, it remains only to work on the yard. But how to do that? Below you will find the best ideas and ideas on how to decorate the street for the New Year!

Decorating the area with bows

A traditional Christmas decoration that decorates not only the house, but also the yard. An obligatory companion of a bow is spruce twigs, without them decoration of the site is not allowed!

The first step is to decorate the outside of the door. Often they add the inscription "Merry Christmas" or "Happy New Year".

It is very good if you have live spruce growing on your plot. You can hang a bow on it instead of toys. Street decor is also possible on the fence.

Bows, by the way, you can make yourself. To do this, you need a simple red wrapping paper. It is dense and keeps for a long time on the street. But you can buy them at any gift shop or supermarket.

Decoration of street flowerpots

We continue decorating a country house, and if you already have flowerpots, we will simply decorate them with our own hands.

Flowerpots in the garden can be decorated with spruce branches, garlands, wrapping paper and other New Year's attributes. With the help of glue, you can arrange them using Christmas toys. Use only frost-resistant glue.

By the way, you can make a full-fledged flowerpot from improvised materials with your own hands. To do this, you need a large tin can, like from a paint or primer. It needs to be painted Christmas red and fitted with a black belt in the middle. It will turn out a small canning Santa Claus.

Illumination of trees

How to decorate the yard of a cottage and house for the New Year with your own hands? Of course, highlight the trees with a garland!

Important. Ordinary indoor garlands will not work. They simply cannot stand snow and frost. Therefore, you need to buy illumination marked "outdoor" and "frost-resistant".

There are several types of Christmas yard decoration:

1. Clip light. It looks like an ordinary household garland, but the cable and bulbs are protected by a thick layer of silicone. It wraps around the trunk and branches.
2. Icicles. Long LED sticks that in the dark resemble luminous icicles. They are programmed in such a way that the light descends from top to bottom.

Snow castles, fortresses, igloos

What kind of decoration of the adjacent territory no one expects? Another house next to the house! Why not take the whole family outside and build a real castle? Its construction is not much different from sand, even simpler.

And to make the decoration of the site for the New Year also useful, you can build a real needle for children. If you do everything according to the instructions, you get a real living area from the snow. Detailed instructions are in the video. They can also be decorated with illumination, and inside you can decorate with Christmas tree decorations.

Ice outdoor decorations

DIY outdoor Christmas decorations can be made from pure ice. To do this, you just need to freeze water in beautiful forms for freezing and that's it. Perhaps this is the easiest option that you can use, but no one forbids decor.

You can add beautiful berries or even fruits. Due to frost, original homemade street tree decorations will not melt and will last until the next thaw. Don't forget to add some string to the mold so you can hook it to the spruce.

By the way, if you want the ice to be perfectly clear, use distilled water. There are too many impurities in ordinary bottled or tap water.

Father Frost's Sleigh

How to decorate a dacha for the New Year to get good gifts? That's right, to make the transport of Santa Claus - a sleigh. You can buy it, but it's much easier to make. To do this, you need a thick cardboard from which the form is made. On top of them, it is enough to paint with spray waterproof paint and that's it!

Can also be made from wicker basket or wood, upholstered with leather substitute. Such a decoration of the yard for the New Year will definitely attract the New Year mood.

Snowflakes

How to decorate a cottage for the New Year with your own hands if there is little snow? It's time to buy artificial! For the holiday, artificial snowflakes are sold in every store. But how to use them correctly?

There are several ways:

1. This is an excellent decoration for trees. And it doesn’t matter if it’s live spruce or fruit species.
2. Why not decorate the facade of the house for the New Year? It is enough to glue them or hang them on strings - you're done.

By the way, to make snowflakes look like real ones, you can douse them with water and freeze them. Get an amazing New Year's design in the style of a fairy tale.

Snowballs in a bucket

Porch or garden for the New Year can be decorated with a bucket of snowballs.

Moreover, they can be made from natural snow or artificial, depending on the weather:

1. Artificial snowballs. If the winter in the region did not work out, then you will have to make it out of foam. We need a ball. It can be a large Christmas toy or foam toys, which are sold in stores. You need to stick a skewer or a toothpick into them so that you can hold it. We coat the ball with a good layer of PVA glue and apply artificial snow on top.
2. Natural snowballs. How to decorate the site correctly? You need natural snow. Just make snowballs and dip in water for 2 seconds. This is necessary so that the upper layer melts and freezes. It remains only to put them in a bucket.

Luminous figures

This is how it is customary to prepare a private house for the New Year in an American village. Luminous figures are an integral part of jewelry. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find them in stores, so they are often made on their own.

To do this, simply bend the wire in the shape of, for example, deer and wrap it with a street garland. From the street, it will look like a single luminous silhouette. But you can also make three-dimensional figures from acrylic. If you make an effort, you will get believable animals.

Here, now it will be possible to prepare the site for the New Year in the American style.

Do-it-yourself New Year's decoration ideas for a country house and plot

Celebrating the New Year in nature is a dream of many citizens. But it can come true only for those lucky ones who own a small, but their own plot outside the city. And, of course, those who are friends with them. Just imagine how wonderful it is to escape from the bustle of the city and plunge into the world of fresh air, silence and amazing white snow. Of course, you can prepare any yummy in advance and bring it with you, but be sure to make a spicy, smoky barbecue in the country. But in order for the fairy tale to take place and be complete, it is necessary to heat the house well and decorate it for the arrival of guests. It is about the secrets of outdoor decoration of the house and the site that we will talk with you.

Not everyone is lucky in winter with frost. This decoration option can only be afforded by residents of cold places. However, if the weather is moderately cold without thaws during the holidays, you can prepare spectacular ice decorations in the freezer in advance and use them. To do this, you need to beautifully lay leaves, twigs, bright berries of viburnum and mountain ash, small shells, cones, toys and fill it with water in suitable forms. Even tinted water frozen in the shape of a green Christmas tree, a red apple or colorful candies will look great.

As a basis for ice decorations, you can use not only traditional winter coniferous twigs and berries of mountain ash or viburnum, but also flowers or petals

Don't forget to provide your ice crafts with braid or thread that will make them easy to hang. You can decorate with such toys a live Christmas tree in the yard of your house or just tree branches. They are hung under the roof of the house, mounted on fence posts or on the edges of stairs. For an unusual Christmas wreath made of ice, you will need a large form. Entwined with a traditional scarlet or golden ribbon, it will look so unusual that it will undoubtedly attract the attention of your guests.

This wreath is usually made using cupcake tins. To remove the finished wreath from the mold, leave it warm for a while

Do not throw away small twigs that remain after autumn pruning. The time has come to put them to work. On the eve of the New Year, they can be used to create wonderful decorations of various types.

Both snowmen are made in the same way, which is based on the use of branches left after the autumn pruning of trees

We will offer you only a few options, but we are sure that you can add to this list yourself.

• Christmas wreaths. They are made very simply, but they look creative. Of course, they can and should be decorated using ribbons, Christmas decorations and other attributes for this purpose, which we strongly associate with the celebration of the New Year.
• Snowman. To bring this idea to life, it is enough to paint a few thin twigs white, twist them into three wreaths, tie a wonderful winter scarf to a makeshift little man, put a hat on him and hang Christmas balls and tinsel around his neck. So literally in an hour and a half, a funny snowman will appear on our front door.
• Christmas composition. To create a New Year's composition, you can paint the branches in white, gold, silver or red. Or you can just cover them with transparent glue and dip them in foam chips. The transformed branches will become the basis of the composition, and balls, cones, hearts, tinsel or New Year's figurines will be its successful addition.
• Balls. Their thin and flexible branches can be used to make unique balls. Painted in white, gold, copper, silver or in their natural form, they will not go unnoticed. They decorate Christmas trees, tree branches. They can simply be laid out or scattered along the path or hung on the porch.

If all the same balls are wrapped with safe Christmas tree garlands, you will get charming landscape lamps that will be very appropriate for this particular holiday.

Here are two more ways to use branches. We are sure that in the process of decorating a suburban area and a cottage, you can create absolutely charming things with your own hands

If old skates and sleds are lying around in your pantry and you are not going to use them for their intended purpose for some reason, it's time to include them in the New Year's decor of your yard or house.

To make old skates look respectable, boldly apply a layer of bright acrylic or spray paint to their leather surface. The outer part of the shoes will look harmonious in combination with bows, ribbons, beads, toys, gilded cones. Inside, stick branches with rowan berries, coniferous paws, symbolic gift boxes.

Old skates can also serve as your Christmas decoration. Just look how organically they look as part of a garland running along the perimeter of the front door

The blade of the skates can be smeared with glue and dipped in crushed foam, which is left in excess after the purchase of household appliances. Skates dressed up in this way will look good on the front door, on the wall. They become part of a pretty garland.

The colorful palette of the approaching holiday can be supplemented with old sledges. They don't need to be lavishly decorated. It is enough to update the color and, perhaps, tie a bright satin ribbon with a bow to them. After all, Santa Claus comes to the children on a sleigh, so they themselves are a kind of symbol.

The left sled with the number of the house at the same time very much resembles a Christmas tree with a star on top. This similarity was very cleverly beaten by their owner

Depending on the size of the sledge, they are hung on the wall of the house, leaned against the entrance, used as a stand for other decorations or illumination elements. In any case, they will fit very organically into the overall picture.

Summer has passed, and elegant vases, in which we planted annual plants, were out of work. There is nothing left for them. Now we will quickly find something to decorate them with. You can use all the same universal elements of New Year's decoration: paws of conifers, gilded and silver-plated cones, Christmas balls, "rain", multi-colored branches, ribbons and bows.

Here are two completely different ways to use the flowerpot. In the first case, it is used as a stand for an element of illumination, and in the second case, it looks like a cornucopia, promising prosperity to its owner in the coming year

Flowerpots are placed on an open balcony, from where you can admire the fireworks, which will definitely be after the New Year. Paired flowerpots can be a wonderful decoration of the entrance to the house. In principle, they can be left in their usual places. After all, they will perform their former function only in new weather conditions.

These twin flowerpots are sure to look wonderful in summer, but in winter they are simply gorgeous. The balls lying on the needles look luxurious

You rarely see natural stucco molding in the house today, but its imitation based on polyurethane or plastic is quite common. Take a closer look at the pretty medallion under the chandelier. Does he remind you of anything? But this is a great basis for a Christmas wreath. It can be painted with spray paint in any color. If you have an idea for a multi-color decoration, it is better to use acrylic paints.

The surface of such a medallion is a whole world for your fantasies to come true. Not only bows and artificial snowflakes will go into action, but also beads, and even rhinestones. If the medallion itself looks simple and has not aroused creative impulses in you, you can use it as the basis for a wreath, which will be completely hidden under coniferous branches and various decor befitting the occasion.

Beads, rhinestones, artificial snowflakes, buttons, braid and colorful ribbons - all these elements give the decoration a special charm and personality

This decorative figurine will not leave anyone indifferent. Surely you will not want to part with it even after the holiday.

It is really very difficult to part with such a handsome man. In spring, you can change a heavy winter scarf for a light handkerchief, take off the leg warmers and decorate the antlers with bright artificial flowers

To create it you will need:

• round plastic water bottle, capacity 10-12 or 16 liters depending on the size of the figurine – torso;
• one short stick - neck;
• four even sticks of approximately the same length - legs;
• men's old boot (closed slipper or boot) of large size - muzzle;
• bunch of branches - horns;
• large pine cone - tail;
• a pair of smooth and shiny large buttons "on the leg" - eyes;
• small piece of bright red cloth - nose.

Large boot to be painted with white spray paint and allowed to dry. Eyes and a nose stuffed with cotton should be attached to the face of a deer immediately. We fix them with a wire on the back of the boot. Make a hole in its sole, closer to the heel. In the bottle, you also need to make a hole a little lower than the cork. Connect the deer's head to its body with a short stick. Insert the four legs of the deer from the side of the "abdomen" of the figure. They must rest against his “back” from the inside. We use wire to attach the tail. Beautiful branches-horns complete the picture.

It remains to dress up the handsome deer. For this purpose, we use a lush and long scarf that will hide the traces of the connection between the head and the body, stockings or socks on the legs and an old sweater for the torso. The sweater must be pulled over the bottle before assembly. If there are problems with unnecessary clothes, the deer's body can simply be painted. Snow on the back will help portray the sisal. Tinsel and New Year's toys on the horns will also come in handy.

It is simply impossible to pass by such a wreath without smiling. Take a closer look at it, it is made of cones and things that are in every house

Winter cottage can be heated in many ways, but if your house has a real fireplace, then there should be no problem with firewood. Let's show imagination and create very simple but touching characters. Wings and heads do not have to be white, but it is better if they are solid. Old socks, tulle and scarves are suitable for decorating such figures. If you want to make additional details, use felt, foil, paper, sisal, and other similar materials.

To build such wonderful figurines, you need a minimum of costs and a great desire to do something pleasant for yourself and everyone around you

If there is a lot of snow in the country and its texture allows you to make a real snowman with a carrot nose, a broom in his hand and a bucket on his head, you can safely skip this tip and read on. We want to help those who do not have snow feel the beauty of winter: you can make an almost real snowman from the bottom of plastic bottles, wire, rope and other elements.

If you thought these snowmen were made of snow, you are wrong. They are inflatable but look very natural against a white background

In order for the snowman to be fixed firmly enough, it must be made on the basis in the form of a pin or pipe well driven into the ground. From a thick metal wire we construct two balls that need to be put on our base. We wrap the balls with a rope so that the subsequent details look better, do not move or sink.

Carefully separate the bottoms from ordinary one and a half liter plastic transparent bottles. Make sure they are the same size. Paint them white and let dry. We drill two holes at the edges of the blanks opposite each other so that they can be easily strung on a twine in the form of a garland.

As you have already noticed, not only snowmen are made of plastic bottles here, but also pendant lamps

We wrap the balls with these garlands, not forgetting to fix them. We supply the resulting snowman blank with a nose, a hat, a scarf, eyes, buttons and a charming smile. A cute snowman is ready to step in to protect your yard.

Original Christmas candles are made according to the same scheme. The light source itself must be fireproof. Smudges on candles are represented by polyurethane foam. From two-liter green bottles, you can build pretty needles at the foot of the candle composition. Red and yellow wrapping paper with a golden pattern is used as an extra finishing touch.

When making such pretty plastic arrangements, it's important to use a light source that doesn't set fire to the whole complex structure

The topic of New Year's illumination is so extensive that it deserves a separate discussion. Today, bright and varied lights are an indispensable festive attribute. With the help of electric garlands and candles, garden plots and facades of cottages are decorated. Manufacturers all over the world, sensitively catching the market trends, vied with each other to offer more and more new illumination options.

In order to create such a complex design and not go broke on electricity bills, you need to have a good understanding of resource-saving technologies

Luminous sculpture is very popular. Usually these are traditional characters, without which this celebration simply cannot do. Here and Santa Claus, and the Snowman, deer and Santa Claus with his staff. Even a lonely staff sculpture finds its admirers. Next to them are symbols of Christmas: angels, stars.

Garland is another decoration that is included in the list of traditional ones. It looked something like this a hundred years ago, and even now it is still found. True, in the West more often than in our country. In principle, such a decoration is quite simple to do with your own hands. But it cannot be called environmentally justified. If we do not have enough artificial branches, we will make another garland without harming the environment.

Needless to say, the garland looks very impressive, but it would be better if it was created from artificial materials

Together with your child, you will be happy to build any of the garlands below. We will simply cut out the first one from a piece of paper folded several times, and then color it to our liking. In the second case, it is enough to arm yourself with wire, narrow satin ribbons and a rope. It's easy to make too. But the simplest is the third one. To create it, we will stretch a strong linen rope and simply hang everything we want on it with the help of wooden clothespins.

All three garlands, despite the simplicity of their manufacture, look very attractive. Felt, paper, wooden clothespins, paints, satin ribbons and wire - that's all you need to create them

It happens that we simply do not have time for a thorough decoration, because, for example, the idea to celebrate the New Year in the country arose spontaneously. But you need to cook a lot of goodies, heat the house well in order to feel comfortable during the holiday. But the lack of time to implement the plan does not mean that you should abandon the creation of a magical atmosphere of the best holiday of the year.

There are several ideas for this case. Those who are engaged in needlework always have balls of multi-colored yarn left over from previous works in stock. They just don't get around to using them. A Christmas wreath can be assembled from these balls of different colors and sizes. Complete their union with assorted balls and your wreath is ready. Look how beautiful!

When creating such a wreath, it is very important not to make a mistake with the combination of colors. Having spent a minimum of time, we get a decoration worthy of all praise

You have toys, but there is no time to decorate the Christmas tree with them. Arrange Christmas balls, tinsel and garlands on glass jars and place them in those places of the site that are clearly visible from the entrance. Against the backdrop of white snow, bright spots are sure to attract everyone's attention. But to create such festive and bright elements, you spent only a few minutes.

A jar with balloons against the background of white snow looks like it contains all the best wishes that we are ready to give to our guests on the eve of this wonderful holiday - the New Year

Of course, I really want to make everything beautiful and admire the magic created by my own hand.
