There are so many simple ways to change up your décor for the holidays without buying anything new!
One great way to change up some existing items is with a paint pen. Using a white, silver, or gold paint pen on anything glass creates an instant holiday boost! This means any glass container, mirror, or window is fair game!
You can use a holiday word (joy), saying (let it snow), or drawing (stars) to make a glass item more seasonal.
If you don’t want to permanently change an item, don’t worry – you can take anything you create right off again! Just use a cloth with nail polish remover (acetone) and you can create a clean slate instantly! So, if you’d like a redo – just wipe! When the holidays are over, you can remove anything you’ve added to any glass pieces with a simple wipe-off.
As an example, I have written peace on earth on a cloche. I love cloches. They make any single item instantly seem special so they are especially fun to use at the holidays! I could have displayed it simply with the writing but chose to add greens inside the cloche to make my paint pen message stand out. There is plenty of greenery to cut outdoors, but pinecones or any type of vase filler would also work inside the cloche. Small twinkling lights are also a nice embellishment.
For my cloche, I just handwrote the message – nothing fussy – I like the organic look. If you don’t like your own handwriting, a message can be printed out from your computer and placed under the glass to easily trace. Of course, if a mistake is made, it can be wiped off with nail polish remover and rewritten!
I hope you are inspired to create a holiday message on a piece of your glass or on a mirror or window this holiday season!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous weekend!
