DIY window crafts ideas for the New Year
The easiest and most beautiful way to decorate a window is the imprint of a snowflake. To do this, you will need a paper template that everyone has learned to do in kindergarten or school. A sheet of paper is folded four times and holes are cut.
Now you need to prepare a solution for the print. To keep the print longer, it is better to use drying liquids that can be easily washed. The most affordable material is toothpaste. It must be dissolved in water and after drying, the solution will remain white on the glass. You can use a spray of artificial snow, but if you apply too much, it will fall. In addition, you need to buy a special type of composition that dries up.
After placing the template on the glass (you can wet it a little so that it sticks), you need to dip the toothbrush into the solution and, passing your finger through the bristles, spray water on the window. In places of the template, the paste will not stick to the window, so after removing it there will be clean glass. When the composition dries, a white film will remain on the window.
Snowflakes on the window
A simple way to decorate a window. You need to cut snowflakes out of paper and stick them on the window with tape. But there is a method more expensive, but also more effective.
