Festive embellishments for the great outdoors during the vacation period
To bring some holiday cheer to your home, you can create a captivating snowman window decoration using Command Outdoor Light Clips and dry-erase markers. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you create this festive display.
- Preparation
- Begin by cleaning the window with rubbing alcohol to ensure a smooth surface for your decorations.
- Sketch the outline of the snowman and mark areas for the Command Outdoor Light Clips on the inside of the window glass.
- Securing the Lights
- Attach 45 Command Outdoor Light Clips to the outside of your window, securing a string of white or warm white LED lights in the rough shape of a snowman (e.g., three light clusters for the body and head). These clips hold lights firmly without damaging surfaces.
- Drawing the Snowman's Features
- On the inside of the window glass, draw the snowman's features (eyes, nose, mouth, buttons, scarf, hat) using dry-erase markers. These markers allow you to create designs easily visible from outside and can be wiped off after the season.
- Ensuring the Lights are Taut
- String the LED lights through the Command Outdoor Light Clips, ensuring they do not slouch between clips.
- Adding Snowflakes and "Snow"
- Use leftover Christmas light strand to create "snow" by adding more light clips and weaving white ribbon. You can also create wooden snowflakes using paint stir sticks, toothpicks, popsicle sticks, round lids, and a hot glue gun.
- Adding Accessories
- Find 2 straight sticks to add to the snowman window decoration, and use them as arms. Add accessories to the snowman, including a nose made from an orange triangle of construction paper, and various features drawn with a dry erase marker. The snowman can be re-dressed by erasing and re-drawing the accessories.
- Final Touches
- If desired, decorate your snowman with a monkey-like appearance, a bow tie, glasses, a hat, a scarf, and coal eyes. You can even use the Command Outdoor Light Clips to decorate a turkey on the window if you wish.
This low-cost, removable, and weather-resistant method combines the secure and damage-free mounting of lights with the creative, customizable art of dry-erase markers for a charming snowman design on your window.
