Amazing DIY New Year gift

Winter holidays in our country are considered one of the most beloved among people of all ages. Traditionally, New Year and Christmas are associated with the Christmas tree and the scent of pine needles, the scent of tangerines and Olivier salad - without this it is difficult to imagine a real celebration.

That is why festive coniferous compositions made in various variations have recently become a new trend in floristry. Now, as an original gift, you can buy a Christmas composition in a hat box, which will last longer than ordinary flowers and will certainly delight the recipient with a beautiful view and a real winter aroma.


If you want to please your friends and relatives, and maybe colleagues, with an unusual present, you can ask for help from the florists of the company "Flower Base No. 1". Or do you have the option to collect christmas flowers in a box do it yourself using the simple instructions below.

Putting together a composition of needles and flowers

To surprise a loved one, you can buy a new year composition, but you can independently compose this unusual present for him, which will be remembered for a long time. To do this, you will need:

    hat box of any color and size;

    an oasis carved into a box;

  • tools for work - glue gun, gerber wire, secateurs, knife;

    decorations that you like, such as Christmas decorations, pine cones, decorative ribbon;

    plants that will complement spruce branches, in our case these are roses, ilex, cotton and eucalyptus;

    coniferous branches - nobilis spruce is used in the video.

Before drawing up the composition, pre-soak the oasis in water, then let the excess moisture drain from it, leaving it for a while in a dry container. Then take a box, which is belted with a ribbon for beauty, and place a film in it, on which you will need to place a floral sponge. This way, moisture from the oasis will not damage the packaging.



Then, using a pruner, divide the spruce branches into branches of different lengths and place them, having previously cleaned the tips of the needles, on the surface of the sponge so that no gaps are visible. As a result, you will have a fluffy coniferous base for your future composition.

Then, depending on your desire and imagination, place eucalyptus and roses between the spruce branches, and then complement them with bright branches of ilex. Remember - we do not offer the only correct version of the composition, you can create the way you want it, and replace, or supplement, any elements. Or do you just have the option order a New Year's composition that will satisfy you in all respects.

After finishing work with plants, it is time to decorate. With a hot glue gun, you can place balls, snow-like cotton and much more on the surface of coniferous branches.



In the end, you will receive an original gift with which you are not ashamed to come to visit on New Year's holidays.

However, if you don't have time to assemble, you can order flowers in a box at the florists of the company "Flower Base No. 1". Their imagination and great experience will easily help you create the composition you need from the freshest plants.
