The most beloved holiday by children and adults is approaching - New Year! At this time, everyone is waiting for miracles, the fulfillment of desires, and on New Year's magic night, everyone wants his festive table to be not only abundant, but also skillfully served and create a mood for guests and households.

First, let's start decorating the room in which you will meet this fabulous holiday. You can hang garlands on the walls, as well as branches of spruce or pine, tied with wire, decorated with Christmas decorations, entwined with tinsel. Christmas tree tinsel can also be wrapped around the wire to shape it as desired and add Christmas tree decorations. All this can be hung from a chandelier, floor lamp, mirrors. If you have fresh flowers in your room, you can decorate them with shiny rain.

Cut the small coniferous twigs that you can find at the empty Christmas tree bazaars with a sharp knife obliquely, put them in water for a day, and then cover the sections with melted wax. Such twigs, laid out near the cutlery between dishes, will decorate your festive table, the needles will hold on tightly for at least a day.

Also good for decoration are "snow-covered" branches, for which you need to grate polystyrene and sprinkle on the branches, previously greased with glue. And you can also use "frosty" branches. To do this, prepare a strong saline solution, boil it, immerse the branches in it for 5-6 hours, then carefully remove so as not to shake off the crystals and dry. After a few hours, the branches will not be recognized.

And what a New Year's holiday without colorful bulbs ?! They can be fixed on a cornice, on a chandelier, on a lamp, or simply put in a vase, and for this it is not at all necessary to have a Christmas tree.

We recommend placing several live spruce twigs or a pine branch on the table in a vase. The shiny rain on the branches and the glass balls chaotically scattered on the table will sparkle, reflecting the light of candles, without which the New Year is simply unthinkable.

And the more candlesticks, the better! With a light movement of your hand, you can turn a round potato, turnip, apple into a unique candlestick. To do this, you just need to cut a hole in the middle to the size of the candle. You can stick small spruce twigs around it, strengthen rowan berries and small toys on toothpicks.

When showing imagination in decorating the table, remember the serving rules and the overall impression. A snow-white tablecloth, complemented by pine needles and matching napkins (silvery-greenish scale) symbolizes purity and tranquility, and a blue-violet scale will give your table a kind of mysterious magic. Gold or silver ribbons wrapped around coniferous branches will add solemnity to the table.

Dear hostesses, remember that small "surprises" that can be put directly into the serving plate for all the participants of the feast will bring pleasure and, at least for a moment, will return all of us to a carefree, happy childhood.

It is customary to put treats on the New Year's table for the patron animal. Place a toy at the table and put a plate for it, you can put various treats in it.
