The eastern calendar starts a new round with the year of the metal rat. Shrewd and cunning, according to legend, she was the first to see the sunrise and the honor of opening the twelve-year cycle belongs to her.

The color of clothes, a festive table and gifts must necessarily correspond to the symbol of the coming year. So, what does the iron rat lady love and what is intolerant to?

The mouse is an omnivore. But he prefers to see a cheese plate and a bowl of nuts on the festive table.

When decorating your home, take care of the abundance of silver and metal. It is not necessary to carry iron into the house - shiny tinsel, rain and silver balls are enough.

Wear white, gray and sparkling silver materials as well.

Do you have a hamster, chinchilla, rabbit, or Mrs. Rat herself? Give them a new house from the pet store. It is not recommended to build it yourself from plywood: it will be a pleasure for the rodent to make a hole in the tree and run away. It is better to build complex passages from plastic bottles.

When you have cajoled the mistress of the year with a tender attitude towards her relatives, it's time to think about your relatives.

Metal Rat New Year Gifts

An ideal souvenir for the year of the iron rat would be an animal figurine made of metal. Of course, only an iron master can make such a rat. But home craftsmen will be able to dream up, doing with improvised means. Here are some DIY ideas.

The easiest option: a figure of an animal is modeled from easily bendable wire, using its long tail as a support. Also, a regular mouse silhouette is made of wire and, by tying a thread to it, is hung on a Christmas tree. The rest of the iron options require soldering skills and appropriate tools.

But it's not only iron that you can make a mouse. To simulate metal, it is enough to choose a gray material.

Yes, man does not live by metal alone! Here are the ideas for New Year's gifts 2020 with your own hands: blankets, pillows, slippers and towels in gray or with a mouse pattern.

Note! The rat is a practical and thrifty rodent. Gifts from your hands should be practical, not junk. Even if the donated item does not carry the image of a mouse, but it is often used and loved, but the girl will be supportive to you all year round.

A wonderful gift for those who like to "hang out at the computer" - the latest model of the wireless "mouse".

Souvenirs given to each other will not necessarily be in the form of a gray prankster. All things of white-gray and silver shades are appropriate. Jewelry and silver will delight lovely ladies. And men will not refuse a silver chain, cigarette case or cufflinks. Whether there will be an image of a rodent on a souvenir is up to the donor.

Here are some more options for New Year's "mouse" gifts:

• Sweater or hat with a picture of a rat. The child is presented with a hat with mouse ears.
• A shaggy blanket, pillow or gray terry robe is an excellent imitation of mouse fur.
• Practical things made with your own hands: a piggy bank, keychain or soap in the form of a rat.

Whatever gift is presented, it should carry positive energy and a good message to a loved one.

How to make New Year's gifts and pillows.

If you don't want to buy a New Year's souvenir, but do it yourself, you should decide on the materials for work.

For those who like to hold a needle in their hands, things made of textiles will become an ultra-fashionable gift, since hand-made (handmade) is not only welcomed, but also highly appreciated in the modern world. Knitted and crocheted craftswomen will also not be left idle. And for lovers of soldering, cutting, there are ideas!

So, to create a gift for the new year 2020 with your own hands, there are many options:

• Tilda doll. This cute cloth toy has become not just a doll, but an element of advanced modern decor. It is sewn in the image of a girl, animals, beetles, snails, boys and fairy-tale characters.
• Soft felt crafts. These can be silhouettes of animals, fruits, hearts, voluminous dolls, oven mitts for the kitchen and even slippers. For the coming year, gray-pink slippers with ears in the form of mice will be especially relevant.
• From simple improvised means, sometimes such exclusive things are created that guests are only amazed. For example, a pendant is cut out of a simple sheet of thin foam plastic for a children's room. To do this, using a stencil, an image of an angel on the moon is transferred onto a sheet and cut out. Separately cut out three angels from the same sheet and then attach them with threads at different heights to the month. The structure is suspended from a chandelier, and it rotates with a light breeze. Believe me, any child will love it!
• Even an inexperienced artist can create an extraordinary gift for the winter holiday. A work of art is born from a simple glass ball, acrylic paints and sparkles from the hands of a master. Such a gift will appeal to connoisseurs of painting. Moreover, if several balloons on a similar topic are donated.
• In the winter cold, you especially feel the comfort of your home. Kitchen accessories knitted with your own hands will bring a warm touch. Present to your family a knitted set of clothes for a teapot and cups.

Winter evenings are often good for crawling under a warm blanket and burying ourselves in a soft pillow. Here's the last element - a nice New Year gift idea.

We will not dwell on complex options - after all, not everyone knows how to embroider or knit. Consider pillows that are easy to make, but original and beautiful in the end.

• Option for those who have ever held a needle and scissors in their hands.A felt applique is sewn onto a simple one-color pillowcase in red, green or white. Attention! The “dumochka” will acquire a special charm if the felt figures are sewn with large white stitches.
• If you don't have the ability to sew, but there is a desire to be original, then here's an idea for you. Bright, contrasting ribbons tied in a criss-cross pattern and fastened with a bow to the pillow will make it look like a gift box.
• For those who like to tinker with a ball and knitting needles, the preparation of New Year's gifts begins in the fall. On their sofas, original pillows with braids, plaits, knitted patterns are piled up. Double-sided pillows, knitted with the same pattern, but with yarn of different colors, look unusual.

Ideas for New Year's gifts made by hand for 2020 are varied, but for the master class we will focus on an easy option - a simple pillow that does not require sewing.

So, the following will be used:

1. Any T-shirt with a winter and New Year theme.
2. Small pillow 35x35 cm.
3. Scissors.

Two 40x40 cm squares are cut out of the T-shirt (an allowance of 5 cm is left on all sides for the fringe). Thin strips 5 cm long are cut along the entire perimeter of the squares. A pillow is placed on one canvas, covered with a second piece of cloth on top. One strip of cloth is taken from the lower and upper squares and tied with knots. And so along the entire perimeter of the pillow. New Year's decor for the sofa is ready.

New DIY Crafts for 2020 New Year

There are a lot of options for crafts for the New Year on the Internet. But every year there are new items that you want to try to make yourself.

What do you know about sweet sleds? Such a gift will certainly be to the taste of sweets.

In order for the sled to arrive at the addressee, for their manufacture you will need:

• chocolate bar;
• two stick-shaped lollipops;
• 10 chocolate bars (Snickers, Mars, Lyon);
• chocolate Santa Claus;
• Scotch;
• bright ribbon.

The sled runners are made from lollipops. They are attached with tape to a chocolate bar. This will be the main part of the structure, that is, the sled. Then the bars are stacked on them in a pyramid. Everything is fastened together with tape, tied with a ribbon and a chocolate Santa Claus is seated on the front of the sleigh. Instead of folding a pyramid of chocolates, you can tie a transparent bag of chocolates to the back of the cab. To please the mistress of the year, you should look for a chocolate mouse, put it on a winter transport and put a bag of chocolate coins on the sled.

All the new items that appear annually in winter are countless, but there are still ideas for unique New Year's gifts for 2020, created with your own hands.

Every year more and more people refuse to buy a real tree, trying to preserve the environment. To replace the green beauty, the people invent fancy Christmas trees from natural materials. And these eco-gifts will appeal to conservationists.

The vine is elastic, pliable and perfect for creating an original Christmas tree. They take a cardboard cone as a basis and wind the vine, starting from the wide part, moving upward. Along the way, the turns are held together with hot glue and thin wires. The finished tree is decorated with miniature cones, acorns, coffee beans, nuts and beads. For effect, a garland or mini-lamp is placed inside.

Another lamp idea: a fairytale winter city. For work you will need: cardboard, acrylic white paint, scissors, PVA glue, a simple pencil and a garland. On cardboard, in random order, draw small and large houses connected to each other. You can use a template that was printed from the Internet.We cut out houses along the contour, without separating them and cutting out windows in each house. Then the whole structure is glued together in the form of a rectangle with two long and two short sides, covered with white paint and placed on the windowsill. A garland is placed inside, and the winter fairy tale comes to life.

A handmade gift will undoubtedly be unique and unrepeatable. Relatives will appreciate the love and warmth invested in its creation.
