How to decorate windows for the New Year: original ideas

The time before the New Year is special! Do you agree? Everything around looks especially festive, bright and beautiful. And it’s not just the Christmas tree that creates this feeling. Windows that transform magically change the entire roomwhere they are installed. Yes and they look smart from the street. Anyone can make this transformation. And we will teach you how to do it.

Decorative items that you can buy

The trade sector is preparing in advance for the most desired holiday for children and adults. Have you noticed that New Year's products are given the most prominent place. All we have to do is choose the necessary decoration.

Garland

Since we are preparing for a night celebration, we will need special lighting. Therefore, garlands are used not only for the Christmas tree, but also for window decoration. You can choose a model that is located at the top of the window.

Or you can create an electric “curtain” from stars. It will make your window especially bright.

Important! When attaching the garland, be careful and careful, follow the instructions exactly!

Tinsel

A window can shine even without electric lighting. Tinsel will help. You can make lambrequins from its ribbons, you can tie bows, or just let it flow beautifully, hanging down and swaying with the movement of air.

Stickers

Another product that helps decorate a window is silicone stickers.Separate them from the packaging and stick them on the windows.

Advice! The stickers stick well if you wet one side with water.

Place a saucer of water on the windowsill and trust your child to create a miracle. Look at it yourself, suggest it, take pictures. And don’t forget to enjoy one of those moments that you will remember later throughout your entire life in a series of happiest ones.

Yes, and don’t rush to throw away the sticker packaging! After removing them from the glass, fold them back and store them along with your Christmas tree decorations until the next New Year. Silicone jewelry can be used repeatedly.

DIY miracles

The store decor is certainly not bad. And it helps, no doubt. But it is replicated with thousands of the same products. And if you want your window to be one and only? This can also be done if you get creative. So, let's get to work!

Snowflakes

Traditional New Year's decor for windows is, of course, snowflakes. All you need is a sheet of white paper (you can even get by with napkins) and scissors. The technology is simple: fold the paper, cut out patterns, and carefully open the finished snowflake.

In this way you can make snowflakes of various shapes, complexity, and sizes. And for starters, diagrams will help.

Drawings

If you know how to draw, use gouache or paint to paint New Year's pictures on glass.

Whether they will be monochrome (using only white) or multi-colored is up to you.

Vytynanka

Another type of decoration can be made from paper - cut out pictures. They are usually called by the Ukrainian word “vytynanki” or its Russian equivalent, “cuts”. But in fact, we owe this skillful carving to the Chinese.It was there that presumably in the distant 9th century, carved paintings appeared that were used for decoration.

Winter vytynankas are united by a festive theme. Snowy huts, Santa Claus, Christmas trees, children on sleighs, snowmen and much more can be carefully cut out and attached to the window. There will be a fairy forest and a winter street there.

Important! Start working with the smallest elements and gradually move on to larger ones.

Some needlewomen cut out the outline first. Others, on the contrary, find it most convenient to cut after all the holes. Try both options and choose the one that is most convenient for you.

For fastening, you can use a soap solution. And image templates are not hard to find. Here are some of them.

Advice! Take care of the tools for making protrusions: nail scissors with sharp tips, a sharp stationery knife.

Lanterns, garlands

You can also make original three-dimensional snowflakes, lanterns, and garlands from paper. If you attach them to a thread of rain and hang them on the eaves, you will get unusual mobile pendants.

How to make a windowsill festive

Once you've finished with glass or double glazed windows, don't forget about the window sill. It will become a continuation of the window decor.

Christmas trees and houses, snowmen and New Year figurines, candles, figurines of animals and birds, Christmas balls - everything will be appropriate here.

The window sill itself can be left white. Or decorate with fir branches, or cover with “Christmas” textiles.

If you have the time and opportunity to do some handicrafts, great! Houses made of cardboard, the most unusual Christmas trees made of paper, gilded or silver-plated cones that you found on a walk - this will not be difficult to do.

Don't forget to decorate vases or flowerpots that are constantly on the windowsill. Stick golden stars on them, tie them with tinsel, they will look completely different than usual.

You can make a real installation. Moreover, its plot can be changed. This will undoubtedly delight the children who will be waiting to see how “life” will change on the fairy-tale windowsill with the onset of the morning of the next holiday.

I think you already have ideas on how to change the look of your window. You will definitely make it so that both Father Frost and Santa Claus will notice it.

Have a good mood and happy New Year holidays!
