For the base of the composition, take a small low vase. Its neck should be wide enough to accommodate a thick candle and several spruce branches.
Here the vase is transparent, it is made of glass, but any other will do. The main thing is its small size.
It is also worth noting that the candle in this composition is purely a decorative element. You can't light it. The twigs are too close to the wax and may catch fire.
Materials:
- spruce and pine branches;
- candle – 2 pcs.;
- decorative tape;
- Christmas balls (diameter 1.5 cm);
- glass vase.
Instructions for use
The candle will be the main element in our ikebana. It is around this that we will collect green twigs. So let's fix it first. To do this, drop a little melted wax from another candle onto the bottom of the vase. Before it cools down, we attach our candle.In a few seconds it will stand steadily on its own.
Now we insert green branches into the space between the glass walls of the vase and the candle. Spruce, pine, and juniper trees are suitable. You can use any evergreen plants for the composition. They are the symbol of New Year's holidays all over the world.
We will tie a bow of red decorative ribbon around the neck of our vase. It will serve as an additional decoration.
We will make several small bows from a narrower decorative ribbon. We use red, green and gold colors.
We place bows on green branches.
We hang several Christmas balls on the outermost spruce branches. You just need to choose the appropriate size for the jewelry. Too large ones will look out of place, and thin branches simply won’t support them.
New Year's ikebana is ready!
And so that the branches last as long as possible and do not lose their needles, carefully pour some clean water into the vase.
