LED garlands and candles
Every year, the tradition of decorating windows with luminous garlands embraces more and more people. On the eve of the New Year, gray high-rise buildings in residential areas are transformed: here and there, multi-colored windows are lit up, sparkling with lights.
A modern Christmas garland is more than a cord with LED multi-colored lights. Even being one-color, a garland can become the main element of New Year's decor: light bulbs can cast fancy shadows through openwork paper snowflakes, fixed next to them or, covered with ordinary paper cups, resemble small home lampshades.
You can not only decorate the windows for the New Year, but also give the interior a touch of romance or even mystery with the help of lighted candles. Candles can be the same in color and size, or, on the contrary, differ in shape, but make up a single composition in the overall style of the interior.
DIY garlands
A lot of room for the embodiment of fantasies - the creation of homemade garlands for windows.
Original hanging decorations can be created from everything that is at hand. Garlands made with:
- snowflakes fixed at different heights, cut out of paper;
- multi-colored pom-poms or white cotton balls resembling snowballs;
- spruce branches attached to the main ribbon and suspended from it on thin ribbons or threads by cones;
- lollipops or traditional Christmas gingerbread, spreading the aromas of New Year's spices around them;
- paper or cotton disks of different diameters, glued together with a thread previously passed in the middle of the disks;
- Christmas figures made of cardboard or thick kraft paper, attached to a satin ribbon or braid, whose color should match the color scheme of the interior.
Painting with gouache
You can decorate windows for the New Year with paints. The wide surface of the window panes allows you to depict entire scenes with several characters against the backdrop of New Year's landscapes. It is better to use gouache for painting - in comparison with other paints, it lays down on the glass in a dense layer and is easily washed off afterwards.
Even small children will be able to paint windows for the holiday. They themselves can draw the whole picture or color what the adults have outlined on the glass. If you plan to draw a small drawing, you can print a suitable image, temporarily fix the sheet on the outside of the window and outline the contours of the image, so that you can then color them yourself or with your children.
New Year 2022 is the year of the Tiger. Children will appreciate the unusual idea if the cute Tiger Cub can become one of the many New Year's characters drawn on the windows on the eve of the holiday.
Decorating windows with balls
It is impossible to imagine a New Year's interior without traditional Christmas decorations - Christmas balls.Multi-colored or plain balls, attached to the cornice at different heights, will look floating in the air in the daytime, and after dark they will become an original festive accent in the interior.
Volumetric paper decorations
You can decorate windows for the New Year using plain white paper. Hand-drawn stencils or printed paper silhouette templates only need to be cut and secured to the window (or positioned on the windowsill). It can be the outlines of a snow-covered fairy forest or a cozy tiny village with caps of snow on top of small houses.
Windows can be decorated with paper folded in the form of three-dimensional figures. To do this, it is enough to use one of the many schemes for creating New Year's origami.
Window cutters
Amazingly beautiful New Year's vytynanka, glued to the glass, will create the impression that nature itself has tried to decorate the windows for the New Year - the filigree openwork nets of figures cut out of paper really resemble patterns frosty in the frost.
Numerous photos of paper decorations will help you decide how to decorate your window and choose the appropriate scheme among New Year's stencils.
How to decorate a windowsill?
Before decorating the window sill space, you should move traditional pots with indoor plants from the windowsill. This will not only have a beneficial effect on the plants themselves (since it will rid them of the dry air of the batteries), but also help create New Year's compositions without green foliage in the background.
The material for creating a composition can be anything:
- figurines of animals or New Year's characters;
- small artificial Christmas trees in a row or one medium-sized Christmas tree;
- decorative gif.webpts;
- red apples, oranges, spices (cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves and cardamom);
- dry branches and spruce cones;
- fresh branches of conifers;
- Christmas decorations, garlands, colored ribbons.
Even the most ordinary glass jars with artificial snow poured inside or a twisted, turned on garland will become an original New Year's decoration for windows.
Ready-to-use stickers
You can decorate windows for the New Year not only by creating something with your own hands. For those who do not like to wash off drawings or traces of adhered jewelry from the glass after the holiday, the use of purchased stickers will be a suitable idea. It does not take time to create these decorative elements, it is enough to choose and purchase the option you like. Most stickers are disposable, but you can keep them and use them for the next year. To do this, after the end of the holidays, you need to carefully remove the sticker and stick it back to the sheet in which it was sold.
How to decorate a window from the outside?
Owners of individual houses often decorate windows not only inside, but also outside. Compositions of fir branches, toys, street candles or special garlands will give a festive look to the building in the New Year 2022. It is important that this does not interrupt the decor options from the outside and inside, but complement each other.
