T\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna joulukalenterissa onkin n\u00e4emm\u00e4 paljon edullisia koristeluvinkkej\u00e4. Semmosta se joskus on. Yrit\u00e4n aina suunnitella v\u00e4h\u00e4n etuk\u00e4teen, mutta v\u00e4ist\u00e4m\u00e4tt\u00e4 joskus pit\u00e4\u00e4 keksi\u00e4 postauksia my\u00f6s lennosta. Sattumalta t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa nyt sitten menn\u00e4\u00e4n kierr\u00e4tysteemalla. Ei se huono asia ole. T\u00e4m\u00e4 vanha koristelutapa on tainnut Suomessa melkein unohtua. Tai no en ole ihan varma ett\u00e4 onko t\u00e4m\u00e4 Suomessa edes ollut kovin suosittua, mutta ainakin muissa pohjoismaissa t\u00e4t\u00e4 on harrastettu jonkin verran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somessa n\u00e4kyy melko paljon valkotussilla ikkunoihin piirrettyj\u00e4 hienoja joulumaisemia ja muita koristeluja. Itse kun mieluusti k\u00e4yt\u00e4n helposti kotoa jo valmiina l\u00f6ytyvi\u00e4 materiaaleja niin ajattelin sitten ett\u00e4 maalikyn\u00e4n sijaan voisin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 ekologista, halpaa ja helposti l\u00e4hikaupasta l\u00f6ytyv\u00e4\u00e4 materiaalia, nimitt\u00e4in piim\u00e4\u00e4. Piim\u00e4\u00e4 on k\u00e4ytetty ikkunoissa n\u00e4k\u00f6suojana vuosikymmeni\u00e4, mutta yht\u00e4 hyvin sill\u00e4 voi maalata kuvioita. Niinp\u00e4 ajattelin t\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna testata. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarvitset vain piim\u00e4\u00e4 tai kefiiri\u00e4 ja siveltimi\u00e4. Sitten vain taiteilemaan. Sivele ohuita kerroksia ja anna kerrosten kuivahtaa ennen p\u00e4\u00e4lle maalausta. Mielest\u00e4ni yhdell\u00e4 ohuellakin kerroksella saa jo ihan n\u00e4kyv\u00e4\u00e4 j\u00e4lke\u00e4, mutta jos haluat valkoisempaa, sivele useampia kerroksia p\u00e4\u00e4llekk\u00e4in. Eteisen oveen tein nyt t\u00e4llaisen nopean talvisen maiseman, ilman sen kummempaa suunnitelmaa. Apuna voi k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 vaikka erilaisia sabloonoita. Tai tehd\u00e4 negatiivi-kuvan niin ett\u00e4 levitt\u00e4\u00e4 telalla piim\u00e4n koko ikkunaan ja sitten piirt\u00e4\u00e4 kuvan pyyhkim\u00e4ll\u00e4 piim\u00e4\u00e4 pois sormen ymp\u00e4ri kiedotulla nihke\u00e4ll\u00e4 r\u00e4till\u00e4. <\/p>\n\n\n

This year’s Christmas calendar seems to have a lot of inexpensive decoration tips. That’s how it goes sometimes. I always try to plan a little in advance, but inevitably sometimes I have to come up with posts on the fly. By a coincident this year it seems that recycle and reuse is the theme. It’s not a bad thing. This old decorating tradition seems to have been almost forgotten in Finland. Or rather, I’m not quite sure if it ever was very popular in Finland, but at least in other Nordic countries it has been practiced to some degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media is full of beautiful Christmas scenes and other decorations drawn on windows with white chalk marker. I like to use materials that are readily available at home, so I thought that instead of paint pens, I could use an eco-friendly, inexpensive material that is easy to find at the local store: buttermilk (sourmilk). Buttermilk has been used for decades as a privacy screen on windows, but it can also be used to paint patterns. So I decided to give it a try this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You only niid sourmilk or kefir and paint brushes. Then just let the art happen. Brush thin layers and allow layers to dry before applying the next layer. I was able to get thick enough colour with just one layer, but if you want whiter result, spread more layers ontop of each other. I made this quick winter scenery to the hallway door without any planning. But you can use templates or tape a sketch behind the window if needed. Or you can create negative picture by spreading sourmilk to the whole window with roller and then draw the picture by wiping parts of it off with damp cloth tied around your finger. <\/p>\n\n\n

Eih\u00e4n t\u00e4st\u00e4 kelme\u00e4ll\u00e4 keinovalolla kovin esteettisi\u00e4 kuvia saa, mutta asialle ei mahda nyt mit\u00e4\u00e4n kun vuoden pimein hetki on k\u00e4sill\u00e4. \/
It’s almost impossible to get aesthetic photos of these. I mean, it is the darkest time of the year, so artificial light it is.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Kannattaa antaa vaan menn\u00e4, eik\u00e4 murehtia lopputuloksen laadukkuudesta. N\u00e4m\u00e4 ovat v\u00e4liaikaisia ja jos menee pieleen, aina voi pyyhki\u00e4 pois ja aloittaa alusta. Min\u00e4 en jaksanut, ja sellainen siit\u00e4 nyt sitten tuli. \/
Don’t worry too much about the quality, just let it go. These are temporary anyway, and if it goes wrong, you can always wipe it off and start again. I coul’d not be bothered, so this is what it ended up like. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n
