The name say's it all,Window Color - A Great and Inexpensive Way to Express Your Artistic Side Articles it is basically coloring your windows with different motives, pictures or forms in different colors. They are always reliable and can be done in less than one hour (work time only) usually, but give your house, apartment or room the "extra touch". In the following article, I'll give you a small tutorial and what you'll need and how to do it!

What you'll need: A plastic pocket, a printed out motive, window colors (About $15 for 5 colors online)

How to get started:

First of all search a motive that you want to "window-color". You can use either the internet or search around in some books, though either way, you'll need to print the motive or cut it out of your book. If you already found a motive on a paper, then that's even better! Now put the printed or cut out motive into the plastic pocket and start coloring its contours. You best color them black, and make sure only to color the contours, and nothing else yet. After you've finished, let the window color dry for a few hours.

After the window colors have dried, take the motive out of the plastic pocket and think about may you like the contours. If you do, now grab the other colors and fill the inner of your previously painted form. You can use all colors you want. If you want to get a nice transition of two colors, try using a toothpick. If you don't have a specific set, try to mix colors together (Don't use too much of paint, though!). Now let the image dry for another few hours.

After that is done too, you can now try to remove the window-color from the plastic pocket. Make sure not to rip it off, as they're often sticking together with the plastic pockets. Now simply press the motive against your desired window and enjoy your own art skills as well as a cool new item in your house.

By the way: Why not try to paint a Santa Claus around this time of the year? The colors are easily removable if you don't like them anymore, if they don't to get off the window: Use a moist cloth!
