Attributes of the New Year tree were traditionally the most different toys that we used to buy on the eve of the main winter holiday in a variety of stores. The assortment of toys is so great that it can satisfy a wide variety of interests and preferences.

What and how can you do for the New Year
It's not so difficult and troublesome to think up a hand-crafted article, as it may seem at first glance. The main thing is to find good ideas. We will talk about them in order to facilitate your task.
You can make a craft without leaving home, using the simplest materials that can be found in every family. For example, you can use ordinary paper, foil, wire, thread, buttons, paints, scissors, glue, rags of various fabrics, tinsel, remaining from past holidays and even wrapping paper for bouquets of flowers. For example, such rustling paper, colored or transparent, cut into strips - from large to small, is attached to the thread in the form of a ruffle and stacked in the form of a huge ball that is suspended from the ceiling.
Wreath at the front door, which is made from sprigs of fir or pine, can become a wonderful decoration. To the wreath attach any box, neatly wrapped in colored paper with glue. Inside the box is placed a candy, a tangerine or a small toy.
Especially popular were such hand-made articles as:
- boots or socks, which decorate with large bugles, tinsel, snowflakes or ribbons. They can also put any gift and hang on the Christmas tree. This tradition, as well as the wreath at the door, migrated to us from Western countries;
- balls from any material that decorate with feathers, beads, small snowflakes;
- fir-trees made of feathers, reinforced on several cardboard frames, glued together or nested into each other;
- any festive cake can be decorated with a figure of a merry goat - a symbol of 2015, which is planted on a wooden stick stuck in the center of the cake;

For 2015, give preference to the blue color, since the symbol of the year is the Blue Goat. On a blue background, any carved pictures, stars, snowflakes and much more will always look good. Light colors or manicure varnish on the postcard can write any wishes. On the bend of the postcard you can glue triangles of different shapes and length, imitating a Christmas tree, which is decorated with a red star, beads or colored buttons;

- vase, a bottle of unusual shape or a tall salad bowl made of transparent glass can be filled with paper flowers, large colored stones, which are on sale a great variety, small Christmas toys, cones, candy. They can also put a spruce branch. On the coffee table, the lower part of the vase is casually covered with any light transparent cloth( organza, capron) or net, adorned with sparkles, snowflakes, snowballs made of cotton wool;
- a homemade table-top made of thick paper. To do this, cut the cone, create a pyramid, which for strength and stability is filled with cotton. Above, the pyramid is wrapped in a thick( woolen, for example) thread of green color. Thread pre-moistened with glue. After drying, the Christmas tree is decorated with any toys, tinsel, candy, nuts, beads, buttons.
New Year's costume - a separate topic for conversation. They do not always require skill in the sewing business. Goat's horns, hooves on children's shoes, a tail or a skin with snow-white hair in the form of a cape will give the child unspeakable joy.
