Use cloves, sharp awls or thick needles. On thick paper, we first outline the boundaries of the future design, make holes, and then roll it into a cone. Figures of Santa Claus, snowflakes, deer, stars or dogs will come in handy here. Sometimes such candlesticks are made in the shape of a house, depicting a roof and snow-covered windows. It turns out to be a very beautiful New Year's gift.

We glue such twists together, creating a small circle. You can use elements of different sizes and colors, arranging them with each other. We use beads and sparkles as decoration, place a candle in the middle and the elegant quilling candlestick is ready.
- CDs. Candlesticks can also be made from disks with your own hands; this decoration for the New Year is suitable for the Hi-Tech, Futurism, Modern or Loft style. To implement this idea, we will need several CDs, glue and New Year's holiday decor at your discretion (twigs, glitter, artificial snow, ribbons, beads, etc.).

- A simple modeling technique using regular dough. You can create holiday candlesticks from salt dough with your own hands; this is an excellent New Year gift for friends and family. Knead the dough (flour, sunflower oil, salt, soda, water) and carefully roll out. Now all that remains is to cut out the New Year's figures; you can use templates or cut by eye. To prevent the dough from breaking and cutting easily, do not forget to periodically moisten it with water. Place a small candle in the center of the resulting figure and press lightly to create an indentation. Then we leave the dough candlesticks to dry on the windowsill, after which they can be painted in any color. Artificial snow, beads, sparkles are used as decoration, and you can also draw a beautiful ornament or patterns yourself.

You can decorate this very table New Year's decor. For example, candles in beautiful candlesticks. So if you want to buy or even make something special with your own hands, this article is for you!
Candlestick from a jar
The simplest base option for a New Year's candlestick is a jar. We eat the jam or canned food from the inside and decorate the jar to our taste. Ropes, threads, lace, beads, buttons, pine cones, twigs, cinnamon sticks, star anise, decorative figures. Everything that every needlewoman has in her home will be useful for a New Year’s candlestick made from a jar.
Houses
Little houses are perhaps the cutest of all candle holders. Light diffuses through the windows, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. When choosing a house candlestick, pay attention to the holes in it. There should be enough space and air inside for the candle to burn and not go out. A plywood house must be either high or without a roof. The ceramic house heats up very well, so you can drop a little on its roof essential oil with your favorite scent.
Candlestick made of polymer clay
Similar houses or these cute cones and pyramids can be made from polymer clay. Sold in craft departments and art stores. We sculpt it as if from plasticine, bake it in the oven, and paint it. It’s easier to sculpt monochromatic products from clay right away desired color, because oil paints They take a long time to dry, and not all acrylic ones are suitable. (Consult with sellers)
Flashlights
Traditional candle lanterns on New Year's Eve can be supplemented with a composition of fir branches, red rowan, textile and plastic Christmas tree decorations. You can also paint it with acrylic on glass from an art store. Even a child can draw very simple snowflakes and stars. New Year's motifs are more complex - deer, bells, snowmen, Santa Claus... Everything is limited only by your imagination.
Knitted decor
Cold winter is the time for hot mulled wine, knitted sweaters and cozy blankets. What if the candles are alive and can also freeze? You can knit cute cases with buttons for them and dress up hemp candles to match the season. Looks nice, but is flammable. Therefore, keep an eye on the candles while they are burning or put knitted covers on the glasses and place the candles in them.
Christmas roller coaster
Christmas slide or “seven-candlestick” - traditional Christmas decoration in Scandinavian countries. There it is placed on the windowsill and delights people with its appearance not only in the house, but also from the street. Most often, the seven-branched candlestick is made of wood or plastic, in white or red. The Christmas slide is good in terms of safety, because the candles here are artificial, and it all works from an outlet.
Wreaths
The Lutheran theologian Wichern took in children from poor families. To make it easy for children to count down the time until Christmas, Wichern, using an old wheel as a basis, made a wreath, which he decorated with 19 small red and 4 large white candles. Every morning one small red candle was lit in the wreath, and on Sundays a large white one was added to them. 
It's easy to make a wreath from pine cones. They cling to each other themselves; to make the composition stronger, use transparent superglue. We'll have to walk through coniferous forest in search of material, but Fresh air is good for health, and a wreath of pine cones will fit well into interiors in Scandi and ethnic styles. 
You can also make a tabletop wreath with candles with your own hands. For this you will need:
thick paper, thin cardboard or fabric. Rough linen or burlap
glue, rope if desired
grass substitute (green mesh from a flower shop) or spruce branches. Real or artificial
dried flowers, pine cones, spices, nuts, twigs, flowers, dried fruits, beads and bows. We collect everything we want to decorate the wreath with, place it harmoniously on the blank, and glue it on. Don't forget to leave room for candles.
New Year's bouquets
The author of these works, florist Ksenia Isaeva, shared the secrets of creating New Year's bouquets.
Compositions from real fir branches, cones and dried flowers are created on the basis of a vase or pot, inside which is placed special material piaflor. Due to its antibacterial properties, plants are less susceptible to rotting. Piaflor or floral sponge retains moisture and keeps bouquets pristine freshness for a long time. While the spruce branches are fresh, they can be given the desired shape and secured with wire. Toys and others decorative elements attached with glue.
You can try making New Year's bouquets yourself or entrust the work to professionals from flower salons.
Glasses and vases
Setting the table and creating a festive menu is an important part of preparing for the holiday for those who celebrate the New Year at home. It has been noticed that there are never too many tangerines, napkins and glasses for drinks. The latter can also be used as candlesticks. There are three main options:
cover the outside of the glass with plants, paper or foil applique
put cones, stones, small toys inside
pour water into a glass with a spruce branch inside and place a floating candle on top
We believe that a cool interior in an apartment is not necessarily about “ Fashionable style"and dear designer furniture. What matters is how much time you devote to arranging your home. Pleasant little things made with your own hands will fill your home with warmth and comfort. For example, beautiful or cute New Year's candlesticks.
