We apply tracing paper to the sample and redraw it. We cut it along the contour and apply it to whatman paper, draw it. This stage can be avoided if you use carbon paper and transfer the image directly to whatman paper.

We cut out the resulting drawing on whatman paper using a stationery knife and scissors so that the outer part - the stencil - remains intact. Actually, the drawing itself can then be painted and attached to the window with soap. The stencil is ready.

To the post “Drawings on windows for the New Year: colorful DIY decorations” 8 comments

My daughter and I love to paint windows during the New Year holidays. For these purposes, I buy special stained glass paints; they come with several templates with various images, but mostly we come up with the drawings ourselves. It turns out very colorful. But we have never used toothpaste for painting on glass; it’s a great idea, worth a try.

How lucky I was to read the article. We just wanted to paint the windows with the children for the New Year. It is a very good idea to paint them using toothpaste and gouache. I also really liked getting the splashing effect using a toothbrush. We ourselves would not have thought of this. We will use with great pleasure your ideas for painting windows from the photo selection.

I picked up a lot of interesting ideas, I especially liked the ideas with toothpaste and stencils that can be glued with soap. I did this as a child, but over time I forgot and with the advent of my children I had to come up with something. Store-bought ones are of course convenient and quick, but how fun it is to make all the decorations yourself with your children. The children were very proud that they did everything themselves, because the whole yard looks at our balcony and is jealous!

Very beautiful. I remember back in the 90s, my sisters and I created similar magic on the windows. For this they used gouache paints, the drawings were taken not from the head, but from the plots New Year cards. Thus, our windows acquired a fabulous look. They also decorated the doors, which were then painted a dull White color. Nowadays there are a great variety of means for decorations!

New Year is a holiday that gives us a truly unforgettable atmosphere. It's no wonder that children and adults look forward to this fantastic celebration! And without what is the New Year completely impossible? Of course, without holiday decor! The anticipation of the holiday appears only when Christmas melodies begin to sound in the streets, the smell of tangerines fills the air, shop windows bloom with themed decorations, and thousands of lights are lit on trees and roofs.

Before the onset of the most magical night of the year follows. In every house or apartment, they take out boxes from the mezzanine, hang them, place them on shelves and installations, and a day or two before the holiday, they solemnly install a beautiful Christmas tree. However, one place that can also be decorated for the New Year often remains completely unclaimed.

Cardboard and colored paper will allow you to create an unforgettable New Year's decor!

We are, of course, talking about windows! There are many simple but amazing ideas for decorating glass and window sills that can give a magical mood to both the residents themselves and random passers-by. Beautifully decorated windows will not go unnoticed by guests and relatives who come to your holiday. In addition, such decor will give you the most pleasant sensations and increase your mood during the winter holidays.

Naturally, in store windows you will find a huge amount of New Year's paraphernalia, but in Lately It is fashionable to decorate a house with items that the owners made with their own hands. And so that you don’t rack your brains when choosing New Year’s decor, we have selected the most original ideas and master classes on using stickers, creating window paintings, making protrusions and garlands from the simplest materials!

Idea #1: Decorating windows with toothpaste

The older generation remembers very well that during periods of Soviet shortages, toothpaste was the main tool for creating New Year's decor. It was used to paint not only apartment windows, but also the windows of schools or kindergartens, involving children in this fascinating process. It is worth noting that toothpaste is a universal artistic material that allows you to create several types of painting at once - both ornamental and negative.

In the second type of painting, the design is similar to the image of a photographic film, that is, it is the dark, unpainted places that become the accent. By the way, this is the simplest type of painting that even a child can easily handle. Be sure to involve the kids in the process of creating fabulous pictures on the windows! Another positive point is that after the celebrations are over, you can easily clean the windows from the pattern by simply wiping the glass with a wet cloth. Before you get started, you need to prepare:

• foam sponge or old toothbrush;
• a piece of adhesive tape;
• a bowl;
• water;
• scissors;
• a cloth;
• pencil;
• paper.

Procedure

• 1. Download several of your favorite New Year’s themes from the Internet. These could be Christmas bells, snowflakes, reindeer, penguins, Christmas trees or Santa Clauses. Print the designs on paper and cut out using scissors. It is better to first prepare stencils with small details by shading with a pencil the places that need to be cut out, so as not to make mistakes in the process.
• 2. Wet the template with water, immersing it in a bowl for just a couple of minutes. You can also place the template on a flat surface and walk over it with a wet sponge.
• 3. Stick the template to the selected location on the window glass.
• 4. Gently blot the paper with dry flannel.
• 5. Squeeze the toothpaste into a bowl and dilute with water until it becomes liquid sour cream.
• 6. Take a toothbrush, dip it in the paste, shake it off a little and, running your finger along the bristles, spray the mixture onto the window where the stencil is glued. When the paste evenly covers the window, peel off the paper. The drawing is ready! You can also use a piece of foam sponge for this purpose - soak it in the paste, shake off excess moisture, and then lightly press it onto the glass around the stencil.

If you have at least the minimum artistic skills, you can paint the window manually, but for this purpose you will first have to make yourself a brush. To do this, twist the foam rubber into a tube and wrap it with a piece of tape. It’s better to make a couple of brushes with different diameters to paint both large and small details. Squeeze the paste onto a plate, dip the brush and draw fir branches, snowmen, Christmas tree balls and streamers.

When the paste has dried, take an orange manicure stick or toothpick and scratch small details - dots or stars on balls, eyes on snowmen or needles on spruce paws. Using the same principle, you can create window paintings painted with gouache paints or artificial snow from a spray can.

Idea No. 2: Snowflake stickers

A snowy winter with soft fluffy snowdrifts is the dream of most children and adults. After all, it’s so nice to go sledding, build a snowman, have a snow fight, or go for a walk in the forest! Unfortunately, not every New Year brings us snow, and slush spoils the entire holiday experience. However, you can create a snow whirlwind at home. To do this, you need to decorate the windows with unusual stickers made from PVA glue.

Who would have thought that such simple material Can an unusual decor be created? During the day, while it is light outside, the snowflakes seem almost transparent and do not interfere with the view. But in the evening, when the moonlight or rays of lanterns fall on the window, it sparkles like real frost! By the way, this decoration can last for more than one year - just carefully remove the snowflakes, line them with paper, put them in a box and send them to a dry place until the next New Year. To make snowflakes you need to have:

• paper or ready-made cardboard or plastic stencils;
• strong film or paper files;
• a jar of PVA glue;
• medical syringe (no needle required);
• brush;
• glitter (you can use those used for manicure).

Procedure

• 1. Place the stencil inside a plastic file or place it between layers of film. If you don't have a ready-made stencil, choose one to suit your taste, print them on paper and place them in a file.
• 2. Trace the stencil lines with adhesive mass, squeezing it out of a medical syringe in a thick layer. Correct the drawing with a brush. Important: do not get carried away with making openwork snowflakes! Small details will most likely just blend into the overall mass, so choose patterns with simple lines and large curls.
• 3. Carefully move the stencil to a windowsill or other place located near heating appliances. Let the drawings dry a little. When the glue becomes transparent, but not completely dry, remove the frozen snowflakes from the film and glue it to the window.
• 4. To make shiny multi-colored snowflakes, repeat all the manufacturing steps, only sprinkle the workpiece with multi-colored sparkles before sending it to dry.

Idea No. 3: Vytynanka for windows

Idea No. 9: Compositions from pine needles

Traditional decor cannot do without compositions of fragrant pine needles, which fill the house with an incredible aroma. The easiest option is to make small wreaths and hang them on the windows using bright satin ribbons. To make this decoration you need to prepare:

• spruce branches (you can supplement them with thuja or juniper branches);
• heat gun;
• wire (thick and thin);
• viburnum branches;
• New Year's balls;
• beads

Procedure

• 1. Take two pieces of thick wire and bend them so that you get rings of different diameters (the difference should be about 3-4 centimeters).
• 2. Wind the rings diagonally with thin wire to make the frame of the future wreath. Make a fastener from a long piece of tape.
• 3. Separate the branches into bundles and attach them to the wreath, overlapping each other.
• 4. Add small cones, balls, beads, rose hips or viburnum, attaching the decor with a heat gun.
• 5. Cut a piece of ribbon and tie a fluffy bow, attach it to the top of the wreath.

By the way, spruce wreaths can not only be hung on the cornice, but also simply placed on the windowsill, and a thick candle should be placed inside such a decoration.

Idea No. 10: Garlands made of cotton wool

Decor for window openings can be made from the simplest items that are found in every home. For example, from cotton wool. To make a garland, you need to prepare a large number of cotton balls, roll them up to make them denser and string them on a long fishing line, hanging them in the window openings. Alternate lumps of snow with snowflakes made from napkins - this way your craft will become airy, and the illusion of falling snow flakes will appear in your apartment.

Idea No. 11: Garlands made from cups

You can also make an unusual decor from paper cups by making transverse cuts (crosswise) in the bottom with a stationery knife. Then insert the light bulbs into the holes and attach the garland to get original shades. If you don't have suitable paper cups, you can do the same manipulation with plastic cups. In this case, you will need to decorate them - these can be strips of colored paper or ordinary napkins with a pattern placed on glue.

Idea No. 12: Panorama with a winter forest and animals

We have already told you how you can create a fairy-tale village or a city sparkling with lights on your windowsill, but the panoramic crafts don’t end there. On the window you can arrange a magical panorama clearing with Christmas trees and animals. To work you will need:

• paper;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• garland of LED light bulbs.

Procedure

• 1. Glue together several sheets of office paper so that their total length is equal to the length of the window sill. Make 2-3 such blanks so that the panorama has several layers.
• 2. Find and download drawings on New Year's theme- Christmas trees, bunnies, bears, penguins, snowmen or deer are perfect for this purpose.
• 3. Cut out the stencils and transfer them to a paper strip, placing the drawings continuously one after another. Before drawing, step back 5-6 centimeters from the bottom edge and bend the sheet so that you can then place the panorama on the windowsill.
• 4. Arrange the panoramas on the window so that the taller figures (for example, trees) are located near the window, and the lower ones stand on the edge of the window sill.
• 5. Lay an LED strip or a garland with light bulbs between the layers and light it to get a real fairy tale on the window.

There are two ways to create a joyful festive atmosphere in your home: visit a supermarket or New Year's fair to buy ready-made decor, or decorate the interior with window applications, paper toys and hand-made compositions. The most successful is considered a compromise option, in which factory-made garlands, candles and balls are complemented by unique handicraft garlands, toys and crafts.

Natural composition of dry branches

Used for making home crafts or painting on glass. various materials, which are easy to find in the bathroom or kitchen: toothpaste, pieces of soap, starch or flour for paste, tape. Toothpaste can be easily replaced with white gouache, but it has been used for a long time and willingly because of its suitable properties: even dried “Aquafresh” or “Silka” is easily washed off clean water Moreover, it has a light pleasant smell.

If you don't have real balls, you can always draw them

In addition to adhesives and coloring compounds, everything that can be found in children's corner, school table or in a box with New Year's accessories:

• thick cardboard;
• colored paper;
• multi-colored foil;
• bugles and beads;
• beads and sequins;
• old Christmas tree decorations;
• pieces of fabric, yarn and leather;
• wooden and metal parts;
• tinsel;
• chains, etc.

The choice of material depends on the craft. For example, wonderful window decorations for the New Year are made from plain white paper. These are primarily snowflakes, Christmas trees and themed origami toys. Thick cardboard is useful for making stencils or templates for drawings on glass, and strips of colored paper are useful for a fun garland chain that can be used to decorate a window opening.

Paper Christmas trees and stars - traditional New Year's figures on the window

Permanent home “helpers” are usually used as tools:

• scissors;
• stationery knife;
• sewing needles (with a set of threads);
• brushes of all sizes;
• sponges;
• toothbrushes;
• wire cutters, etc.

Almost everything listed tools and materials can be found at home, and if some are missing, they can easily be purchased at the store, spending a very modest amount.

How to decorate a window for the New Year

Usually, not one specific place in the apartment is decorated, but all or some rooms, so the decoration of windows for the New Year should be harmoniously combined with the decoration of the rest of the interior. This is expressed in the selection of identical shades, repeating motifs, patterns, and ornaments. Some people like the white and gold holiday color scheme, others like an abundance of red, and others like the combination of blue color with a silver tint. It’s better to start preparing when the main style has already been chosen and the palette has been determined.

Sometimes just white is enough

Paper decorations

If you have no experience in preparing for the holiday or don’t have enough free time, we offer the simplest and most advantageous option - decorating windows for the New Year from sheets of paper, white or colored. Even kids who have barely learned to hold scissors in their hands are happy to cut out snowflakes. Usually a simple but effective procurement scheme is used:

This is how you fold a sheet of paper to cut out a 6-sided snowflake.

You can come up with hundreds of beautiful openwork patterns by experimenting with trimming the edges of the workpiece. More experienced fans of preparing for the New Year have their own “branded” patterns, and beginners can borrow ready-made templates to start with:

To cut a realistic snowflake, you need to try

Complex circuits, but worth it

Original options for 8-, 6- and 4-gonal snowflakes

Having cut out a large number of snowflakes of different sizes and shapes, you can glue them to the glass using paste or soap solution in different ways:

In the form of a New Year tree and in a chaotic order

The paper is also suitable for creating flat or three-dimensional compositions of houses, winter trees, animals, fairy-tale characters.

New Year industrial landscape on the windowsill and city sketches on the glass

Drawings using templates and stencils

To make the hard work of amateur decorators easier, they came up with templates and stencils. Ready-made New Year-themed kits can be purchased in a store or downloaded from the Internet, and then printed and used for the New Year to transfer images to windows.

Christmas scene on the night window

How are templates different from stencils? The templates are outlined, and then the drawing is painted or left in its original form. Stencils are usually used immediately for painting, although you can also trace along the inner contour.

Spray technique using a stencil

The photo instructions show a mirror, but to transfer it to window glass, the same steps are performed.

Cut out a snowflake from paper (outlines of a house, animal, tree).

Using soapy water, glue the snowflake onto the window. Can also be used plain water, because after painting the stencil will have to be peeled off immediately.

We dilute the toothpaste with a small amount of water, but so that it does not drain, but remains slightly thick. Take a toothbrush and dip it in the prepared solution.

Using your finger, we move the bristles of the brush and release it sharply so that the splashes purposefully fall in the area of ​​​​the stencil. It looks beautiful when there are more splashes in the center, and they disperse along the edges.

Carefully peel off the paper stencil, being careful not to smear any splashes.

It turned out easy new year image snowflakes. To decorate a window with similar designs, you will need very little: half a tube of toothpaste, an old Toothbrush and stencil paper.

When working with stencils, you can use a dishwashing sponge instead of a brush. We cut off a piece of soft foam rubber, roll it into a roll, and tie it with thread or tape to form a kind of “brush.” Then we blot the cutouts on the stencil.

Sponge technique

A few more fun stencils and templates for windows for the New Year:

Decorative pendants and garlands

It is customary to hang garlands everywhere: on the Christmas tree, on the walls, under the ceiling. They decorate the outside of houses, decorate trees in the garden and small architectural forms in the yard. This is also a suitable decoration for windows, because curtain rods are successfully used as a mounting point.

Garland of artificial greenery with pine cones and snowflakes suspended on threads

A garland can be made from anything; in fact, it is various objects suspended on a thread or ribbon. Traditionally, flags, light New Year's balls, stars, and decorations made of beads or bugles are strung on a thick thread or strong cord. Children love to make lanterns or caps from colored paper and attach them to a string mixed with snowflakes and pieces of cotton wool to represent snow.

Luxurious natural composition against the background of homemade garlands

Instead of long garlands, you can use laconic but elegant decor - New Year's pendants made of Christmas decorations, tinsel and bugles.

Pendants made of Christmas balls on satin ribbons and a sparkling gold and silver garland

Stars on the kitchen window, unexpected citrus decoration, hearts, dolls

DIY window sill decorations

To make the window truly beautiful for the New Year, according to tradition, not only the glass, but also the window sills are decorated. Fantasy lovers winter holiday knows no boundaries: along with the usual Christmas trees, Snow Maidens and Santa Clauses, natural compositions from branches and moss, romantic arrangements with candles, and snow-covered doll houses appear.

Remember the magical snow globe, inside of which, when you shake it slightly, real snow begins to fall? It’s difficult to make such a toy with your own hands, but we’ll look at how to decorate a windowsill for the New Year using ordinary glass jars. Behind the glass, like in that ball, is a small winter fairy world with houses, forest animals and fir trees.

New Year's gifts under tin lids

There are two options for designing compositions in jars:

• at the bottom of a jar closed with a lid;
• on the lid of an inverted jar.

Both options are equally popular, but the second - with an inverted jar - is more often used if the vessel is too deep and it is difficult to reach the bottom. Arranging items on the lid is much easier.

Figurines under a glass cover

Brief instructions for making crafts from inverted cans:

• we find several glass jars of different sizes with screw-on lids;
• lay the inverted lids upside down;
• we place miniature figures of animals, snowmen, people, as well as Christmas trees, houses, etc. on the lids;
• we tighten the jars, checking that the figures are the right size;
• If the composition is successful, open the jars and glue the selected items.

Then we finally tighten the jars - original jewelry Ready for the windowsill for the New Year!

You can make beautiful candlesticks from the same glass jars. We paint the glass walls by hand with paints that do not emit harmful substances when heated, and we place small candles inside the vessels. We decorate the upper part with bells, mini-garlands, and tinsel.

Magic lamps for the windowsill

Candlesticks with cones

New Year in glasses

Unusual and at the same time natural compositions are made from natural materials: cones, coniferous branches and deciduous trees, moss, acorns, dry grass, driftwood, etc. They combine perfectly with artificial snow and serve as an excellent background for miniature figures of bullfinches, deer, hares, and bear cubs.

"Trees" from dry branches

You can build a snow-covered “tree” from dried branches and secure it in a jar or vase. To enliven the picture, we plant bullfinches, tits or woodpeckers on the branches. But since the tree is New Year’s, and therefore magical, anything you want can grow on it: gingerbread cookies and sugar gingerbread cookies, golden beads and small Christmas tree balls, key chains with photographs of relatives and just satin bows.

Just pine cones growing from little chocks

The composition can be made much brighter if glass vase replace it with a gilded bottle, and cover the branches along with the decorations hung on it with sparkles. The easiest option is to buy decorative hairspray, silver or gold, and carefully treat each branch.

Both golden balls and red berries look festive

When we decorate a window sill for the New Year with our own hands, we always try to add something personal and individual, so homemade compositions look warmer, homely and family-friendly.

Candles and illuminations

Twinkling lights are an essential component of both a fun and mysterious winter holiday. Even simple white pictures on the windows for the New Year look different if they are illuminated with multi-colored garlands or candles. If the frame of a window made of Christmas tree or pine branches is enlivened with sparkling illumination, it will look much brighter and more positive.

The theme of lanterns-candlesticks is played out in an interesting way

To make candles look more status and solemn, they are placed in bronze or crystal candlesticks and decorated with tinsel, “rain” or beads. But there are many options when you can create a cozy and romantic atmosphere without pretentious candlesticks.

Candlestick “house”, which you can make yourself from a sheet of plywood and an exquisite vintage arrangement

Options for installing candles on the windowsill

Electric garlands are the most spectacular New Year's entourage. Neon, white, multi-colored lights turn even the most boring environment into a festive one. Often, thin threads of electric garlands are used to decorate the New Year tree, and they are also hung along the walls or from the ceiling. They look no less advantageous as decoration for windows and window sills.

New Year's windows as part of interior design

When decorating a room for the New Year, you must adhere to the rule of proportionality. If you decide to decorate a chest of drawers, a window, a table in the center of the room, and even install a Christmas tree, then you need to do this extremely carefully. A large number of bright jewelry turns light festive the atmosphere is like a booth and quickly gets boring. Sometimes a simple design of window glass is enough.

Snowflakes with toothpaste instead frosty patterns

You can create an unobtrusive festive backdrop using identical flickering electric garlands hung in different parts of the room.

Sometimes one barely noticeable touch reminds of the upcoming celebration.

New Year's stencils for windows made of paper
How to print

After you have decided on a template for a New Year's drawing, beginners may have a question: “How to print a New Year's stencil and how to make it larger if it turns out to be small.”

There's nothing complicated about it. I will offer you three options, and you give preference to the one that is convenient and easier for you.

Working in Word

In order to start working in Word, save the template you have chosen to your computer. Then open Word. Next, click “Insert” and “Drawing”. A window will appear in which you need to select your template.

As you can see, the drawing is small, it will be barely noticeable on the window. In Word you can stretch it to the size of a sheet. To do this, point the arrow at the picture and press the left mouse button. A frame will appear around it. By stretching it, the picture enlarges.

If the lines of your drawing come out pale, you can strengthen them. Again, move the arrow to the picture, press the left mouse button and when the frame appears, at the very top of the screen you will see the inscription “Format”. Click on it. We look for the word “Correction” in the same panel and click. A drop-down menu will open. In the “Sharpness Adjustment” section, select your template with an increase of 50%.

I've made the page smaller so you can see how I managed to stretch the image across the entire page.

Working in Excel

If you want to get a much larger picture, then you won't be able to do it without Excel. Let's go to this program. Just like in Word, click “Insert” and “Drawing”. In the window that appears, look for your template.

Move the arrow to the picture and click on the left mouse button. A frame will appear, with which you need to stretch the picture. In Excel, this can be done to very large scales, both downwards and to the side, only then the drawing will consist of several parts. The program itself will separate the drawing for printing. I got 8 sheets.

Translating the stencil using paper and pencil

If you don't have a printer at home, use the third method. By the way, it can be applied after working in Word and Excel, when the picture is enlarged.

We take any template that you like.

Point the arrow at the picture and press the right mouse button. A list appears from which you need to select “Open image”.

The image will open in a separate window. It will be small, but you can make it full screen. To do this, hold down the Ctrl button, and without releasing it, press “+” again until the picture fills the entire screen.

After that we take Blank sheet paper, apply to the screen. We arm ourselves with a pencil and redraw the picture. With the backlight from the monitor this will be easy to do.

How to cut paper stencils for windows

To cut out a stencil, you will need small scissors, a knife and some kind of wooden or plastic board so that the table does not get damaged while working with a sharp tool. The ideal knife for this is a wallpaper knife. It can be bought at any hardware store.

We cut out the main design with small scissors, but all the internal contours with a small knife. We do everything so that the black lines of the stencil are on the part that will be removed.

How to glue a paper stencil to a window

It seems that this is elementary, however, there are many but... Some glue with ordinary water or soapy water, while for others such stencils disappear. Why is this happening? It all depends on the window itself. If it is dry, then it is enough to moisten the stencil with a liquid soap composition or walk it over the glass and then stick it on. But the design will not always remain on glass that sweats. Therefore, to say: “Guys, stick like this and everything will be fine” is not entirely fair.

Each window requires an individual approach. It is necessary to take into account, as I already said, whether it is crying or not. What temperature is in the room - cold or warm - this also has an effect. Here everything is individual, as they say at random - it holds, it doesn’t hold. All I can offer you is to tell you about all the different methods used for gluing paper stencils. I think one of these versions will definitely suit you.

1. Soap composition or simply rub with well-soaked laundry soap.
2. Transparent tape, but it leaves an imprint on the glass.
3. Diluted toothpaste, but not very rare.
4. Kefir, as strange as it may seem, people use this drink too, but it will also cause stains on the window and if you have a cat, the decoration will not last long, as you understand.
5. Flour paste, which is prepared on the basis of flour and water. The consistency should be like sour cream. But again, there is the issue of stains on the glass during washing in the spring.
6. Starch paste is diluted starch.
7. Dry glue stick.
8. Another gluing option is with regular milk.
9. Sugar syrup - boil and then glue.
10. Prepare the gelatin liquid as usual, but add a little more water than indicated in the recipe.
11. Double-sided tape, it is hardly noticeable on the glass, it can be easily removed, but then you need to carefully wash off the traces.
12. Men's shaving cream, dissolve in a small amount of water. The composition should not be liquid.

As you can see, everyone sticks differently, so make a choice, try it and then you will know exactly which method suits you.

My article about New Year's drawings on windows was quite lengthy. I hope you liked the cutting stencils and that the master class was interesting and understandable for you. I wish everyone good luck and, of course, patience, because in order to prepare such templates you need fortitude and inspiration.

I wish everyone happiness, Natalia Murga
