If she New Year's- means with a print inherent in this holiday (that is, a drawing, photograph or inscription). In this article, we will look at how you can arrange New Year's Eve. We will not analyze textiles, let everyone decide for themselves which fabric to choose for the pillow. It is clear that it is not difficult to sew with your own hands, but you can buy it. Of course, before buying a fabric or a finished pillow, you need to understand what you like more, inspire and cheer up from the New Year theme.

So, everyone knows that the New Year is:

• The car that carries the Christmas tree
• Christmas decorations
• Santa Claus (or Santa Claus, whoever you like)
• snowmen
• Snowflakes
• New Year's wreath
• deer
• winter birds
• Christmas poinsettia flower
• Winter clothes
• winter pictures
• Everything, everything, everything...

So let's start in order. Christmas tree pillows , perhaps one of the simplest options for decorating a New Year's pillow. Look at the photo below: even a child can do such embroidery!

This video shows how you can embroider a Christmas tree with several shades of green floss.

The next option for embroidering a New Year's pillow cannot be called simple. But, if you know how to embroider and have patience, then in a while you can prepare such a beautiful pillowcase for a New Year's pillow.

When decorating for the New Year is very popular application. This is because the shape of the Christmas trees makes it easy to cut out and sew this pattern to the main background.

Moreover, a Christmas tree can be in the form of an ordinary spruce, which we used to draw in our drawings since childhood, or it can consist of one or more isosceles triangles.

Dream up and, perhaps, your Christmas tree will be even more unusual than in the photo below.

The main background of the pillow can be anything, choose according to your mood. But keep in mind that any application looks much brighter on a white background.

You can be sure that a handmade pillow will be a completely original copy if you used your own ideas for the application.

A pillow with a Christmas tree made of buttons is also an interesting solution!

For such a pillow, you will need two types of fabric, one of them is a fabric panel with a picture of a Christmas tree. You can look in stores for ready-made pillows with this New Year's symbol.

The pillow-postcard will be a good gift for loved ones.

The original performance of the Christmas tree is in the form, you can also try to do it yourself.

Here is another way to decorate a pillow:

• you need to take mugs carefully cut out of soft fabric (by the way, not necessarily green)
• fold them in half
• take 3-4 mugs in one hand, and in the other hand, take a sewing needle and thread and sew the folded mugs together with one or two stitches. The seam must be strong enough.
• quite a lot of such preparations need to be made
• with a fabric marker (or simple chalk) draw a Christmas tree on a future pillowcase for a pillow
• according to the resulting image, sew blanks from circles until you see that the tree has turned out

This pillow is not only beautiful, but also soft and comfortable!

If you don’t have time to make pillows or just don’t like homemade products, buy a factory-made pillow with a New Year theme in the store.

Try, and in stores you will find high-quality and originally designed pillows with New Year's pictures.

Of course, no one will argue that a Christmas tree on a New Year's pillow is the most common option. If you want the decoration on your pillow to be unusual, but typical for a winter holiday, make an application where "The car is carrying a Christmas tree from the forest" .

There are options for this application that are difficult to perform, but there are simpler ones.

If you can’t make a pillow with your own hands, there is always the opportunity to buy it in a store. (You just need to know exactly what you want!)

You can also decorate pillows "Christmas toys". And, imagine, it is not difficult at all with the help of the same application method. Cut out mugs of different sizes, “carrots”, ovals and whatever else you can think of from the remnants of different fabrics (which are at home). Sew or glue the blanks obtained with fabric glue onto the fabric from which you are going to sew a pillowcase for a New Year's pillow. From different types of braid, make "strings" for New Year's toys. That's how great it turned out!

When sewing a pillow (or choosing the right option in the store), try to focus on the interior that is created in your home. The New Year's pillow, of course, is a decorative element in the interior, but at the same time it should decorate it, and not spoil it.

A Christmas pillow will not be on your sofa all year round. She will become the same festive attribute as a Christmas tree or Santa Claus. They appear in our homes once a year to create a festive mood.

In addition to the application, you can try to draw "Christmas toys" directly on the fabric from which you will sew a pillowcase. To do this, you can use acrylic or textile paints. They are designed for painting cotton, silk and synthetic fabrics. Can be applied directly to the fabric with a brush, stamp or painting. The paints adhere well to the fabric, do not spread, do not fade, and are lightfast. After applying the paint to the surface, it is recommended to dry the painting for 24 hours. Then iron with an iron without steam for 5 minutes from the wrong side through paper or fabric at a temperature corresponding to the type of fabric. After 48 hours after ironing, the product can be washed with mild detergents at a temperature of 30 ° C to 40 ° C without strong mechanical stress.

The product, which was decorated with fabric paints, acquires such properties as:

• brightness
• strength
• light fastness
• heat resistance (up to 40 C)
• no traces of paint when rubbed

If neither the application nor the coloring of the pillows on your own suits you, sew a fabric pillow (such as a tapestry) with a ready-made New Year's pattern.

Pillow - Santa Claus (or Santa Claus) Will definitely be a good decoration for your home during the winter holidays. And all because this character causes only positive emotions in almost all people.

Continue sewing the circles onto the rosette until you have the size you want.

Prepare the rest of the roses in the same way. Their number depends on the size of the flower heart.

Fold each strip in half and cut the fringe.

Sew the first strip to the base of the pillow, stepping back 1 cm from the edges. This is the result you should get.

Put a second square on top of the fringed blank and pin it around the edges with pins. Sew the pillow around the perimeter, leaving a small opening for stuffing.

Sew on the beak and lace with a zigzag stitch. Lace is placed in the center of the body, between the wings.

Decorate pillowcases with plant prints

An original way to decorate a pillowcase with a floral ornament is to transfer prints of live fresh grass and leaves onto it. A product with such a design will be unique and one of a kind. It will also warm you on winter evenings with thoughts of a warm summer.

• hammer;
• scissors;

Fern, plantain, clover are perfect for prints. Tear off the plant you need, spread it on the fabric and cover with parchment.

Remember: you need to beat off the plants on a hard, flat surface.

Experiment with different leaves, stems and their arrangement to get the desired result.
