The windows are the eyes of the house. On holidays, I want their “look” to be fun. That is why everyone is trying to decorate the windows with lots of lights and various New Year's attributes.
Lights and garlands
Colorful and monophonic, large and small, bright and not very much - all these lights are able to bring New Year's mood. In the pre-holiday days flickering garlands are everywhere. They are decorated with alleys of the city, shop windows, the main Christmas tree of the country. Window openings should not be an exception, because the light bulbs on the window are visible not only inside but also outside. This means that they will please more people and the house will look festive from the street.
There are many ways to use Christmas lights to decorate windows. You can lay out the shapes of Christmas figures from them: a Christmas tree, a snowman, a snowflake, a star, Santa Claus, a bell. It looks interesting window, the perimeter of which is like a garland of glowing lights. Also chains of lanterns are tensioned in parallel rows vertically or horizontally.There are garlands of a special form, which are designed for their specific placement. For example, a variant, where short garlands with a small amount of light bulbs are hung on one long thread at an equal distance from each other, are hung along the upper edge of the window. Then the lights on top of the window seemed to flow down. Another option is a network. This design involves full coverage of the window opening. Before buying this garland you need to measure the window. The simplest thing you can do is randomly scatter lights on the windowsill. If desired, cones, tangerines, Christmas decorations and other New Year's objects can be put inside the weaves.
Stencils or subject pictures vytynanki
Stencils or embroidery is a whole art. The more carefully drawn and cut elements, the more refined the drawing on the glass will be. For home-made it is easiest to choose simple pictures. Usually, Santa Claus, a snowman, deer, houses, Christmas trees and much more become the protagonists of the plot pictures. For 2018, you can already begin to prepare stencils in the form of a dog, as a symbol of the new year.
If artistic skills are not available, then interesting drawings can be taken from the Internet, printed and simply cut out. Cut paper snowflakes are a favorite pastime since childhood. A piece of paper folded several times and subjected to scissors processing turns into an original piece of jewelry with an intricate pattern inside. They can also be used as stencils.
Paper silhouettes have many uses. The simplest thing is to stick them on the glass with plain water. To do this, take a flat plate, fill it with water and immerse the stencil. Then gently remove the wet paper and press it to the glass. Such a picture will hold securely, and if necessary it can be removed and traces removed with a dry cloth.
Another way to use stencils involves the use of coloring compositions. The easiest way to buy in the store is artificial snow in a bottle with a spray. First, in the manner described above, you need to glue the stencil to the glass. After that, by shaking the bottle, apply artificial snow onto the stencil, slightly going beyond the edges of the paper pattern. When the snow is evenly applied, the paper needs to be removed. An image similar to the pictures created by frost will remain on the glass.
Another way involves the use of toothpaste. It is also necessary to dilute with water and apply with a toothbrush or sponge on the glued stencil. After that, the paper is removed. In the toothpaste, you can add a little watercolor. Then the pattern on the glass will take on color. The advantages of using stencils in the simplicity of their removal from the windows after the celebration.
Gouache drawings
This way of decoration is familiar to everyone since the days of the Soviet Union. Then the shop windows and the windows of the houses were painted with funny pictures. Father Frost, Snow Maiden, squirrels and bunnies became their heroes. In addition, greetings were written on the glasses and toys, cones and Christmas tree branches were painted. All this created a New Year's mood and involved in a festive carousel.
Modern drawings on the windows look about as well. With the help of paints, skilled artists paint glass, turning them into works of art. Those who failed to learn to draw well, write words of congratulations and draw simple drawings. In any case, bright and colorful pictures please the hosts and guests.
Decorations for window openings
In addition to decorations that can be seen from the street, you can use the decor for window sills and window openings. It may be wreaths. I hang them in the middle of the window sill, on the upper part of the window frame, or simply put it on the window sill surrounded by candles or garlands. You can also use shiny tinsel, rain, artificial snow or plain cotton wool. A sweet treat is laid out on the windowsill: sweets, tangerines, nuts in the shell. All this is decorated with sparkles and lights.
Candles make the New Year celebration a real fairy tale.Their shimmer makes the shadows dance on the walls, creating a feeling of transition into the magical world. You can purchase ready-made compositions of candles, cones and needles or create such ikebans yourself. The candles themselves can also be made at home. The composition is to add glitter or choose a transparent paraffin, inside which will be visible New Year's figures. All this can be purchased at the nearest shop for needlework.
Creating a festive mood will not be a difficult task for anyone, if you approach the matter with the soul. Windows and window openings are a huge field for creativity. A minimal amount of the simplest materials, inspiration and ingenuity will provide the windows and the house as a whole with a New Year's look. An endless assortment of modern stores will help you create a work of art that you don’t want to disassemble after holidays. Improve your creation a little, depriving it of New Year's merchandise, and this picture can be admired all year round.
