The master class will tell you how to make a DIY craft - a New Year's composition with a candle
On New Year's Eve, we all decorateyour home with traditional attributes of this most beloved and long-awaited holiday. In addition to the main culprit of the celebration - the Christmas tree, garlands are also hung around the house, snowflakes are glued to the window, and original New Year's compositions are placed, the central object of which, as a rule, are decorative candles. Today, such compositions can be easily purchased in any relevant store, however, they are not cheap at all, so not everyone can afford them. But do not despair and deny yourself the pleasure of decorating your home with such decor, because something similar can always be made with your own hands. Moreover, the material for the work can be partly found at home, underfoot in a park or forest, and partly purchased in a store, but its cost will be significantly lower than the finished version. How exactly to create one of the options for a New Year's composition with a candle with your own hands, I will tell you in this master class.So, for work we will need:
- sheet of metallized cardboard;
- an artificial Christmas tree in the form of a garland;
- hazelnuts;
- small pine cones;
- acorns;
- three small Christmas balls of the same size red;
- a thick red candle;
- a piece of burlap;
- satin ribbon of red color with a pattern;
- three identical artificial leaves;
- two small twigs;
- scissors;
- glue thermo gun.
Job Description 1.Let's get started, and first we'll form a circle from our tree, the edges of which we'll securely connect using hot glue. After that, we'll cut out a backing for our future composition from metallized cardboard according to the shape of the resulting base and glue it to the tree base from below.2.Next, we will select several small pine cones, acorns and hazelnuts for the composition; walnuts will also work for these purposes, as well as any other natural material that you managed to get your hands on.3. Using a hot glue gun, glue the gifts of nature in three places, evenly distributing them around the circle in small groups.4. Next, we add small Christmas tree balls to the natural decor elements, which we also glue on using hot glue.5.To freshen up our composition a little and add some bright colors, take three artificial leaves of a soft green shade and glue them near the nuts in three places. In addition, decide where exactly the front part of the composition will be located, and add two small twigs to one of the decorative groups, which we will also “plant” with hot glue.6. Now we need a satin ribbon, considering the style of the composition, we chose a red one with a New Year's themed print. From it we form three identical voluminous bows.7. Glue the bows using a hot glue gun between the existing decor, evenly in three places.8. Now it's time to decorate the candle.To do this, take a piece of regular burlap, preferably of irregular shape, with protruding uneven corners. Place a candle in the center of the fabric, then lift the edges of the burlap up and secure them to the candle with a string, wrapping it tightly in several turns, and then tying it into a knot and a small bow.9.Finally, all we have to do is glue our candle in the center of the finished composition. Thanks to the burlap, this is quite easy to do, but you definitely won’t be able to glue a bare candle using hot glue.Here is such a charming New Year's compositionwith a candle we got it. You can decorate a festive table with it or choose any other suitable place, one thing is important, that with such decorations you are definitely guaranteed a festive good mood!
