Interesting and simple DIY ideas for decorating your dacha for the New Year holidays

Many people celebrate the New Year by heading to their country house, where it's quiet and cozy. They bring along decorations, tinsel, and even a Christmas tree. But you can easily and quickly decorate your country house for the New Year holidays without any fuss. To do this, you need to know how to do it and which household items can be used as decorations.

How to decorate your dacha with your own hands

Any object is suitable for a dacha, not just a house. You can even use sweets, nuts, citrus fruits, branches, cotton wool, and so on. When it comes to decor, let your imagination run wild. The main thing is that the result will please everyone: the dacha owners and their guests.

Pine cones, berries and other gifts of the forest

If you have pine trees at your dacha or nearby, you can use needles and pine cones to decorate the interior or the front yard. The main thing is to arrange everything beautifully. Berries are also suitable, such as rowan berries, rose hips, and other fruits that have not been eaten by birds.

To create a beautiful decoration, place leaves, berries, small pine cones, and even toys in prepared molds. Fill everything with water. You can also use colored liquid, which will make the sculpture even more enchanting.

Additionally, you should attach a rope or a beautiful ribbon to the future craft. This unusual toy can be hung on a Christmas tree in the yard or on ordinary trees. You can also hang them under the roof.

Branches

Spruce and pine branches are perfect for decorating your dacha. If you don't have any on or near your property, any kind will do. They can be used to decorate windows, doors, tables, or placed in vases, etc.

If any thin branches remain after spring pruning, don't get rid of them. They will be used to create Christmas decorations.

• A Christmas wreath is easy to make, but looks beautiful. Decorate it with toys, ribbons, and other items that evoke New Year's associations.
• Snowman – you'll need to paint a few twigs white and then twist them into three wreaths. Finally, you'll need to "warm up" the snowman: put on a hat, scarf, Christmas tree balls, etc.
• Balls – thin, flexible branches make beautiful balls. Paint them different colors and then decorate trees, branches, or simply scatter them around the property.

This list of branch decorations can be supplemented with your own preferences.

Spices

This idea will appeal to those who prefer natural scents. Cinnamon sticks, star anise, and cloves are all natural spices. They look stunning and make excellent decorative materials.

Cinnamon sticks should be tied with ribbon or coarse linen rope. Cloves can be stuck into the peel of citrus bars. The resulting aromas will remind you of the approaching holidays.

Additionally, combining different scents will help bring the New Year closer. For example, fresh spruce and tangerines have been constant companions of the celebration for decades. You can also experiment with your favorite spices, citrus fruits, and herbs.

Sweets

One of the classic decoration options is sweets. Candies in brightly colored wrappers are often found on the tree. Children and those with a sweet tooth will appreciate this choice. But you can decorate not only the main holiday tree – you can also display treats throughout the house in beautiful glassware.

Sweet decorations can be replaced with homemade cookies or gingerbread. And if you hand-paint them, the result will be not only safe and delicious, but also beautiful.

Fruits and nuts

If you want your dacha decorating items to be not only affordable but also useful, fruits and nuts are ideal. Wrap the latter in foil and hang them on the tree. Apples and citrus fruits are also suitable, but they need to be dried first.
