How to make a traditional New Year's door wreath
Door decorations made in a traditional style involve the use of fir branches, cones and other natural materials fixed on a round base. The following can be used as the basis for a New Year or Christmas wreath:
- thin flexible rods woven into a ring;
- thick cardboard wrapped with synthetic padding and elegant fabric;
- wire frame disguised with decorative ribbons;
- polystyrene foam, cut in the form of a circle of the required diameter;
- old newspapers held together with clear tape or masking tape.
Using wire or a glue gun, attach small branches of spruce or other evergreen trees to the base, trying to place them in such a way that there are no gaps. When the frame of the New Year's wreath is completely hidden by greenery, begin decorating it. For these purposes, fully opened pine cones, nuts, acorns, chestnuts, rose hips, cinnamon sticks, dried flowers, and small Christmas tree decorations are used.

How to make a New Year's wreath from pine cones
A wreath made from bleached pine or fir cones looks very unusual and stylish. In order to give this popular natural material such an original color, you will need chlorine-based fabric bleach. It is important to remember that all preparatory work with cones must be carried out wearing protective gloves!
Ripe, well-opened cones are placed in a deep and wide container, after which they are filled with bleach so that the liquid completely covers the cones. To prevent them from floating up, place a lid or an old plate on top, which is pressed down with a weight. The cones are left in the bleach for 1-2 days, after which they are rinsed with running water and placed in a warm place to dry.
Do not be afraid that under the influence of liquid all the scales will close - after complete drying, the cones will return to their original appearance. Also, during the drying process, the characteristic chlorine smell will disappear. To make a wreath of pine cones, make a frame from scrap materials, paint it or disguise the base with a beautiful fabric. Small pieces of thin wire are attached to the top of each cone to secure it to the frame. An equally convenient way is to use a glue gun.
The cones are fixed alternately, in a checkerboard pattern, along the contour of the base, gradually filling the outer and inner side surfaces of the frame. Then the New Year's wreath, made, is decorated with bright bows, berries, small twigs, dried fruits or figuratively carved zest of lemons and oranges.
