They noted that you can choose lighting in a typical New Year's design, for example, candles painted in ornaments or garland in the form of icy snowflakes.

Put them in a vase and use them as decorations on tables, windowsills, nightstands or create festive decor in the form of Christmas wreaths. In addition, pine needles can be decorated with Christmas toys, sweets or artificial snow", - advised in the service.
