Brighten up your Windows

Now is a great time to experiment with  with adding art and positive messages to your windows! Passersbys, neighbors and mail/delivery drivers could surely use the pick me' up.

An easy way to create art on your windows is to paint the exterior glass. The best paint to use is tempera or washable paint (mix in a small amount flour to thicken your paint). You can also experiment with adding dish soap to acrylic paint as I've found a few recipes online for this method. The point is to paint your windows-- but you surely want to be able to wash it off later! Check to ensure you are not using house paint or permanent paint. Most paint will come off of glass with a little scrub anyhow.

Nervous about painting your windows? You can also create artwork or a large banner and hang it in your window. Paper grocery bags cut and taped together can make a large butcher paper sheet, offering plenty of room to create creative!

Ideas for positive messages:
Today is a great day to have a great day
Think happy thoughts
Enjoy the little things
You are a miracle!
The best is yet to come
Count your blessings
We shine brighter together
