How to decorate a window
The easiest way decorate the window for the New Year 2017– stick cut out snowflakes on its glass. Despite the simplicity of this method, it always pays off: light translucent snowflakes look very festive, creating a New Year's mood.
It is best to make such products of different sizes and shapes, then they will look more interesting. It is convenient to glue them with soap, for which it is enough to lightly lubricate one side of the snowflake with a soap solution and apply it to the glass.
To decorate a window, it is convenient to use artificial snow in an aerosol and with images of New Year’s motifs. To do this, you need to attach the stencil to the glass and spray snow evenly onto it. The result is beautiful picture, which will delight you with its appearance for a long time. You can buy stencils in a store or make your own by cutting out the desired image on thick paper.
Look beautiful on window glass and patterns drawn with regular white toothpaste. Drawings can be made by evenly squeezing the contents of the tube onto a glass surface in a thin layer. Another way is to apply the paste to the window using a sponge or piece of foam rubber, and when it hardens slightly, draw an image with a wooden stick.
How to cut snowflakes from paper
Decorating a window with paper snowflakes seems easy, but not everyone knows how to cut them out correctly. The whole secret of making such a decoration lies in the ability to correctly fold a sheet of paper, but the pattern of the future snowflake depends entirely on the imagination of its creator.
So, to make a snowflake, you will need;
- a sheet of white paper;
- sharp scissors.
Step 1. First you need to create a blank. Cut a square from a standard A4 sheet.
Step 2. We fold the resulting square diagonally to form a triangle, which we then fold in half again.
Step 3. We place the triangle at a right angle to ourselves and alternately bend its right-left side inward so that the fold line falls exactly in the center of the vertex.
Step 4. Cut off the protruding corners.
The resulting part is the required blank. You need to draw a sketch of the future snowflake on it with a pencil, cut out the pattern with sharp scissors and lay out the resulting product - the decoration is ready.
In this case you can use ready-made templates patterns or create your own. In any case, the snowflake will turn out to be openwork, symmetrical and very beautiful.
How to paint a window with toothpaste
Patterns drawn on glass with toothpaste look very festive and are in no way inferior to those created from expensive artificial snow. The advantage of this method is not only its accessibility, but also that such designs are easily washed off. Another plus is that you can trust children to paint windows, since such “paint” is safe.
To create an image of flying snowflakes on window glass you will need:
- white toothpaste;
- paper snowflake;
- toothbrush;
- some water;
- small container (cup, bowl, etc.).
Step 1. Lightly moisten the snowflake with water and glue it onto the glass.
Step 2. We dilute a small amount of paste and water in a container.
Step 3. We wet the brush in the resulting solution, bring it to the window and run your finger along the bristles so that the splashes fall on the glass and the snowflake. Spray the paste evenly onto the stencil.
Step 4. After the spray has dried a little, carefully remove the paper stencil from the glass by pulling the edge. A “negative” snowflake will remain on the window.
In this way, you can create a variety of designs using special purchased or homemade stencils.
Decorating the window sill and cornice
When decorating windows for the holiday, do not forget about window sills and cornices. With a little imagination, you can turn these usually inconspicuous areas into the focal point of your New Year's decor. Moreover, for this it is not at all necessary to buy expensive compositions and decorations, because everything is easy to do yourself from the materials available in the house.
You can decorate your windowsill with New Year’s “pots”: flower pots fill with cones and branches of pine needles, attach small Christmas tree decorations to them. This composition can be successfully complemented by a small figurine of Santa Claus, a snowman or, for example, a bunny.
Trays with candles on them, surrounded by pine cones, bunches of rowan berries, spruce branches and various New Year's attributes, also look very beautiful on window sills.
To make the window look even more festive, you can hang Christmas tree decorations on the cornice using ribbons or tinsel. It is better to attach decorations at different heights, then they will look original. You can decorate the window not only with toys, but also with small wreaths made of spruce or pine branches.
A real find for creating New Year's decorations The spray paint will become silver or golden in color. Using it, you can easily turn ordinary cones, berries, wreaths from branches or any other objects into bright and stylish decorative elements.
By giving free rein to your imagination and creativity, you can decorate any room in an unusual way and create a real New Year’s mood. Even simple paper snowflakes on glass can transform a home, reminding you that a celebration is just around the corner. Don’t be afraid to experiment and create, and then the holiday will reign in the house for a long time.
Glad to see you on the blog pages)
I really love decorating the house for the New Year, and you probably do too, otherwise you wouldn’t be interested in this article))
There are many options for decoration and places for this in the house, today I suggest you learn more about window decoration for the New Year.
It seems to me that when you decorate a window with New Year’s paraphernalia, and then look through it at the street, then all these snowflakes, tinsel, glowing garlands not only add festiveness, but also bring an additional touch of magic and fabulousness.
You look and understand - it’s a miracle :)
There are not so few design methods, I have broken them down into points for convenience, I haven’t used them all myself yet, I haven’t tried drawing on glass, for example, I’m not much of an artist, although thanks to stencils, which are apparently not visible now, perhaps I will dare )
In general, I suggest choosing a decoration option, or maybe several, that suits your liking and taste.
Window decoration for the New Year
Paper snowflakes, cutting templates
The oldest and most famous method is decorating with snowflakes. Seems simple, no new way, and how beautiful it is.
This is correctly called decoration with vytanankas; this includes not only snowflakes, but also various other figures cut out of paper.
Let's look at other New Year's figures in the next paragraph, but now just about snowflakes. Because cutting them out is more difficult, and this process is more creative than designing ready-made templates.
It’s amazing how much paper I ruined as a child while making something that vaguely resembled snowflakes; they looked more like they were cut out with a hatchet than cut out with scissors 😉
But then there were simply no paper snowflake templates that exist now, looking at them, all you have to do is fold the paper correctly and cut it out in the right places.
Paper snowflakes, templates for cutting.
Now you can download snowflake templates that do not need to be folded and cut out, but printed and cut along the marked lines. In my opinion, the labor costs are the same, but there is less pleasure and expectation of “what will happen”) but here, as they say, it comes down to taste and color...
New Year's symbols and paper compositions
The result is beauty - you can’t take your eyes off it))
Compositions made from New Year's symbols together with the same snowflakes look especially beautiful.
I tried this method especially actively last year. At first it seemed to me that cutting out such small details would be a long and tedious procedure, but no, everything went perfectly. The main thing is to choose free time and combine cutting with watching your favorite New Year’s movie, plus involve all family members in making vytynankas 😉
Paper decorations are attached to the window either with a soap solution or with tape. I am definitely in favor of tape because if you carefully glue thin strips of tape, then after the holidays you can also carefully peel them off and save them for next year)) and then cut out new ones next year.
Last year we made different vytynankas, but I especially liked these ones.
This one was my favorite))
But I saw something similar to this on someone’s window, it looked very festive and magical, I liked it so much, but I couldn’t find a stencil.
This year I found something similar and am sharing it.
I’ve just picked out these decorations for windows for the New Year, there are stencils of varying complexity, it’s easier to trust the younger children to cut them out, but leave the older ones and yourself with the more labor-intensive “works.”
I’m also very impressed by the houses made of paper; from the street side they look so cozy thanks to the luminous windows.
Stickers
This option is especially suitable if you don’t have time to cut it out, this also happens, and try cutting it out for all the windows)) And stickers are quick, colorful and elegant.
