How to decorate a Christmas tree for the New Year 2023 with your own hands
Decorating a Christmas tree is a long tradition, but every year there are more and more new ideas. Every year on the eve of the holidays, you are faced with the same question: to decorate a Christmas tree in a traditional style or to come up with something new and unusual this year?

Such handmade will look more attractive than toys bought in a supermarket.

Most often we think about how to decorate a Christmas tree in a classic style. The decor, which can be seen on old postcards and in films, will decorate the interior and add solemnity to the holiday. Ideas about this can be very different. Identical toys, as a rule, are silver or golden, decorated with red ribbons, balls and caramel sticks, curved like a hook, cardboard figures cut out of paper, including a figure of a white ballerina or an angel, and, of course, branches decorated with garlands.
At the same time, the Christmas tree can be any, in the classical style you can decorate a large beauty that can be placed in the middle of the living room, and a small Christmas tree that has a place on a table or chest of drawers. Be sure to use the classic pointed crown, in the classic design there is no place for the Soviet red star.

The decor of an artificial green Christmas tree is not much different from the decor of a live Christmas tree. However, decorating an artificial Christmas tree is easier, because it has more branched branches, they can be given the desired shape, and the Christmas tree itself looks more magnificent, any toys look good on it. The design will be significantly different if you choose a white Christmas tree.
All details on it should be contrasting, no silver and light toys. The white Christmas tree looks original with colored toys, which are located on it in accordance with the colors of the rainbow. But it is very difficult to use garlands on such a Christmas tree, they are almost invisible in the branches, although in the dark they shimmer quite interestingly in white reflections.
