Christmas decoration - an exciting experience that will appeal to you and your children. Such work will cheer up and prepare the whole family for the winter holidays. We will tell you how to prepare a house for the New Year and Christmas with homemade candlesticks.

How to make candlesticks

Decided to decorate your house for your favorite holiday? A simple and effective way is to play with light. A lively flickering candle will create a mysterious atmosphere and give a good mood. In the flame of a candle, all problems and worries gradually disappear, and even a small mess is not so noticeable.

Good mood in the details

To create a mysterious atmosphere, prepare a lot of candles. They are also easy to make yourself. Consider the lighting in the room in which you are going to meet next year.

Improvised decor

First, let's check the old stock. Can I do something with them? Enhance the look of old candlesticks with snowflake napkins, draping elegant embroidered fabric or fine glossy paper. You can wrap them with ribbons, laces or shiny tinsel, glue with rhinestones.

Ribbons and spices in the decor

Nice to watch the floating candles. You should have an old transparent vase or a crystal salad bowl that has long gone out of fashion. You can decorate the edges with toys or small pine cones.

Now pour water into the salad bowl and put candles in it. Add small spruce branches, rowan and petals to the water so that your creative composition becomes the main decoration of the festive table. Candlesticks can be made from unnecessary things that are uselessly stored on our shelves. They are even edible. Do not believe? Then proceed to the next sections of the article.

Fragrant from fruits

In search of scrap materials for our fixture, we go to the kitchen. We will try to make original candlesticks out of fruit. Cook them just before the party. Fruit candlesticks will give you a beautiful, unusual glow and delicate aroma.

Take bright apples, grapefruits or oranges. Fruits should be bright, pronounced round shape. Cut them in half and spoon carefully remove all the pulp.

Choose round, smooth fruit.

Use a marker or pen to draw a simple pattern, cut out all the excess along the contours using nail scissors. There should be a lot of “holes” in order to provide light output.

Cut a hole to fit the candle.

In the center of each of the halves, place a candle. You can make a closed version, covering it on top of the second part.

Markup for decoration

Decorate fruits with small sprigs of fir, buds, rhinestones. Use toothpicks to attach rowan berries and tiny toys.

From unnecessary cans

We use for this purpose any can - from the smallest (for baby food) to the liter. The originality of future candlesticks will emphasize the unusual shape of the can.

Fine fake jars of baby food

The most elementary way to use the can is to simply turn it over, throwing a piece of elegant fabric on top and putting a small candle on the bottom.

Another option for New Year's decor

Consider creative candlesticks from cans that will become a work of art. Let's try to decorate the banks with the children. Take:

We prepare the necessary materials

If you decorate banks with markers or nail polish, no preparation is required. Take and draw on them different Christmas stories - snowflakes, Christmas trees, garlands, snowmen or just intricate abstract patterns.

Fancy patterns with their own hands

If you are going to decorate cans with gouache, prepare them for painting. Cover the container with glue and let it dry, then the paint is better to “stick” to the glass. Draw contours and paint the shapes with bright shades.

Apply glue to the entire surface.

Trust the painting to your child and do not try to correct his work. The result will definitely exceed your expectations! After the gouache dries, coat it with clear varnish. If not, use hairspray. It is used so that the paint does not peel off and does not pollute the hands.

Draw a flight of fancy

Another interesting painting technique is stained paint. It is designed for drawing on smooth surfaces. This is a good idea for Christmas decorations.

Stained glass painting jars

Pre-draw the pattern with a marker on the can. Then circle the outline with black paint, then leave it to dry for half an hour. Fill the space with any bright colors and leave to dry again (dry for several hours).

Calm twinkling lights

We insert the candle into our can - the pattern begins to flicker with colored lights. A liter bottle with a wide neck can be half filled with water. The candle will float, and the light from the can will overflow and fill the room with warmth.

The atmosphere of warmth and comfort in your home

Want to celebrate New Year outside the city? Arrange your glowing decorations along the paths, on the window sills and trees. Bright colored lights will create a wonderful mood.

Christmas mood in small details.

How to make a house for the candle

You could see on the shelves of shops small “houses” for candles, but they are completely devoid of originality. Let's learn how to make such decorations with a simple master class. To do this, cook:

• empty square carton of milk or kefir;
• glue;
• gouache;
• salt

Ingredients for Salt Dough

Prepare salty dough: mix a glass of flour and salt, pour in a tablespoon of any vegetable oil and enough water to make a dough. The final consistency should be like clay. Add color to the dough to make color dough.

Now we proceed to the construction of the house. Thoroughly wash the paper container from the remnants of the milk drink, dry it and cut the bottom. Cut a few windows and leave a hole for the pipe.

Cooking dough and cut out on the pattern

Then we grease the outer wall of the house with glue and start rolling small sausages out of dough. Here you can attract your child - he will cope with the task. We do this with all the walls, not forgetting to leave the openings for the windows uncovered.

We glue the parts of the house

Now roll out the rectangle to make the roof. Glue it attached to the walls. Next is the case behind the door and shutters. Near the house you can install any figure - Snow Maiden or Santa Claus. For larger items use glue, small ones are slightly wetted with water.

Put a candle in the middle of the house

The resulting composition is dried in the oven at a very low temperature. When the work is dried, it can be decorated with any colors. Cover the house with varnish. Put a small candle inside it, and it will glow with a soft light, and real smoke will quietly come out of the chimney!

We apply acrylic paint

Usually one layer of acrylic is enough. However, if it seems to you that the surface is not quite smooth and beautiful, repeat the action. While the paint will dry, we can come up with and make drawings. Cut intricate patterns from the napkin and decide where and how to best glue them.

Cut out the pattern from the napkin

When the paint dries completely (it may take three hours), glue the decorative patterns on the bowl with ordinary glue. Use a paintbrush to level the napkin so that it does not dry out with folds.

Now you can apply the finishing touches by highlighting the details with colors and highlighting the elements with a dark outline. After the end of the creative work cover the glass with varnish.
