JAKARTA - The celebration of Chinese New Year is synonymous with gathering time with loved ones. Especially during a pandemic, gathering at home with family is the main option that is safe and comfortable. Therefore, the beauty and cleanliness of the house is an important factor that needs to be considered so that the family feels comfortable.

Not only making the house neater, this activity is also believed to be able to get rid of bad luck from last year so that you can welcome the new year better. If you want a different look, you can use items that are no longer used at home for you to make beautiful decorations.

Marketing Manager Krisbow Lo Novita Andriany conveyed that a comfortable residence provides a positive atmosphere for all residents of the house and of course the guests. Turn unused items into unique and beautiful home decorations with these three ideas:

Glass bottle trash piled up? Turn it into a beautiful vase.

No need to bother buying new flower vases to decorate your home, you can create an aesthetic home appearance through the use of used glass bottles. You only need a glass bottle and jute hemp rope to make a beautiful flower vase.

It's easy, you just need to wrap a jute hemp rope and glue it using a glue gun or glue gun on a cleaned glass bottle. Fill the vase with beautiful plants that are also believed to bring hockey at Chinese New Year celebrations, such as mei hwa plants, anthuriums, lilies, or money trees.

Unique oriental ornaments from used wood or bamboo. Quoted from ANTARA, Bamboo chopsticks or broken wood are sometimes one of the most piled up waste in the house. However, this waste is also a raw material that you can turn into unique ornaments as decorations for the upcoming Chinese New Year.

You can use a chainsaw to simplify and help the cutting process to your liking. Cut bamboo or wood according to your wishes, then sandpaper to make the surface smoother. If you want a more extravagant result, you can also paint it red to add a Lunar accent.

For its application, you can use a brush or paint sprayer for smoother results. Then, arrange them vertically to form the pattern you want. These wooden or bamboo decorations can be beautiful patterns and unique accents on the walls of your home, guaranteed to impress your relatives.

Decorate the dining table with unique spoon and fork storage

The Chinese New Year is also usually filled with the tradition of eating with family. The dining table, of course, needs to be decorated, starting from tablecloth ornaments, cutlery, to spoon and fork storage. Take advantage of the used cans that accumulate in your home to become spoon and fork storage in an easy way. Smooth the surface of the cans that have been washed clean, then paint using pilox or acrylic paints with red and gold colors to display Chinese New Year accents on your dining table.

To unite it with other storage, use a drill machine to make a hole in the top of the can, then attach it using screws. Be a new low-budget storage spoon and fork that can decorate your dining table and make your cutlery tidier at family gatherings later.
