Christmas Holiday Window Display
Method:
- Firstly, a Christmas window display must have a focal point or one central point or main feature that would attract the attention of on-lookers for example you could use Santa Claus as your focal point when creating window display.
- Do not cram your window display with unnecessary objects because you must always remember that your Christmas window display is not only meant for objects but also the usage of suitable lights and space. The usage of colored spotlight for instance is a simple touch that you can apply which produces a huge effect on the object being displayed and also sending the message through your window display.
- Always have a layout guideline by drawing or sketching on paper the design of your windows display that would help you avoid doing any mistakes when doing the actual task.
- One of the ways to create window display decoration is by creating a winter wonderland using snowflakes made of white paper. You can stick the snowflakes onto the inside of your windows and then use spray-on snow, which is easy to clean up and spray them at the bottom of the windows making it look like fallen snow. For a more authentic look, simply add white batting (which you can purchase at your local fabric store) on the floor beneath your windows for a more real look of fallen snow. Besides that, you can add white tree with packaged icicles decoration for a more snowy effect.
- Try to create your very own homemade holiday ornaments with your own personalized touch for your window display such as by using string popcorn instead ready-made garland bought from Christmas stores, attach ornament hooks to small toys and memorabilia instead of traditional ornaments, plus also filling up your windows with decorations of poinsettias or other red flowers and greenery in order to create a more festive atmosphere in your home.
- Another idea is to have an international display of ornaments found around the world or creating nativity scenes from different cultures and decorating it on your windows. Apart from that, you can use window paint and write ‘Merry Christmas’ in different languages on your windows.
- If you are a store owner, you can decorate your windows by using merchandise that you sell during the Christmas season. You can use empty boxes with different shapes and sizes wrapped with colorful wrapping paper. These boxes can be used as display tables for displaying your gift ideas. Apart from that, you can advertise your Christmas promotion specials using bright green or red color to attract your customers.
- Another decoration for window display is selecting a religious theme such as depicting the scene of the birth of Christ by using appropriate props enabling it to tell the story on its own.
- Create the normal traditional display like Claus, his sleigh, reindeer, Elves making toys and also displaying the spirit of gift giving on the windows. Besides that, you can add comical note to the window display by having a scene of Santa or a reindeer resting on a beach chair if you are living in warm climate that does not have snow or even creating a scene with dangling snowflakes that you can hang from the ceiling near your windows.
