There are two ways to create a joyful festive atmosphere in the house: visit a supermarket or New Year's fair to stock up on ready-made decor, or decorate the interior with window applications, paper toys and hand-made compositions. The most successful is considered a compromise, in which factory garlands, candles and balls are complemented by unique handicraft garlands, toys and crafts.
Natural composition of dry branches
For making homemade crafts or painting on glass, various materials are used that are easy to find in the bathroom or in the kitchen: toothpaste, soap bars, starch or flour for paste, adhesive 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-up Aquafresh or Silka is wonderfully washed off with clean water, and it also has a slight pleasant smell.
If there are no real balls, you can always draw them
In addition to adhesives and coloring compounds, everything that can be found in a children's corner, a school table or in a box with New Year's accessories is used:
- thick cardboard;
- colored paper;
- multi-colored foil;
- glass beads and beads;
- beads and sequins;
- old Christmas toys;
- pieces of fabric, yarn and leather;
- wooden and metal parts;
- tinsel;
- chains, etc.
The choice of material depends on the craft. For example, beautiful window decorations for the New Year are made from ordinary white paper. These are primarily snowflakes, Christmas trees and origami themed toys. Thick cardboard is useful when making stencils or templates for drawings on glass, and strips of colored paper are useful for a fun garland chain that can 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 all of the listed tools and materials can be found at home, and if some are missing, they can be easily 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 design of windows for the New Year should be in harmony with the decoration of the rest of the interior. This is expressed in the selection of the same shades, repetitive motifs, patterns, ornaments. Some like the white and gold festive colors, others like the abundance of red, and still others like the combination of blue with a silver tint. It is better to start preparing when the main style is already selected and the palette is defined.
Sometimes just white is enough
Paper decorations
If there is no experience in preparing for the holiday or there is not 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. A simple but effective procurement scheme is usually used:
This is how a sheet of paper is folded to cut a 6-angled 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” schemes, and beginners can borrow ready-made templates for a start:
To cut a realistic snowflake, you need to try
Complex schemes, but they are worth it
Original options for 8-, 6- and 4-corner snowflakes
Having cut out a large number of snowflakes of different sizes and shapes, you can glue them to the glass using a paste or soapy solution in different ways:
In the form of a Christmas tree and in a chaotic manner
Paper is also suitable for making flat or three-dimensional compositions from houses, winter trees, animals, fairy-tale characters.

Drawings on templates and stencils
To facilitate the hard work of amateur decorators, they came up with templates and stencils. Ready-made sets of New Year's themes can be purchased at the store or downloaded from the Internet, and then printed out and used for the New Year to transfer images to windows.
Christmas story 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 circle along the inner contour.
Spray technique using a stencil
There is a mirror on the photo instructions, but the same steps are performed to transfer it to the window glass.
We cut out a snowflake from paper (the contours of a house, animal, tree).
We glue a snowflake on the window with a soapy solution. You can also use ordinary water, because after painting the stencil will immediately have to be peeled off.
We dilute the toothpaste with a small amount of water, but so that it does not drain, but remains a little thick. We take a toothbrush and dip it in the prepared solution.
With your finger, we remove the bristles of the brush and sharply release it so that the spray purposefully falls in the area of \u200b\u200bthe stencil. It looks beautiful when there are more splashes in the center, and they dissipate along the edges.
Carefully peel off the paper stencil, trying not to smear the splashes.
It turned out a light New Year's image of a snowflake. To decorate a window with similar patterns, you will need quite a bit: half a tube of toothpaste, an old toothbrush and stencil paper.
When working with stencils, instead of a brush, you can use a sponge for washing dishes. We cut off a piece of soft foam rubber, roll it into a roll, tie it with thread or tape to make a kind of “brush”. Then we blot the cutouts on the stencil.
Sponge technique
A few more funny 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 houses outside, decorate trees in the garden and small architectural forms in the yard. For windows, this is also a suitable decoration, because a curtain rod is successfully used as a mounting point.
Garland of artificial greenery with cones and snowflakes suspended on threads
A garland can be made from anything, in fact, these are various objects suspended on a thread or ribbon. Traditionally, flags, light New Year's balls, stars, bead or glass beads are strung on a thick thread or strong lace. Children love to make lanterns or caps out of colored paper and attach them to a thread mixed with snowflakes and pieces of cotton wool to represent snow.
Luxurious natural composition on the background of homemade garlands
Instead of long garlands, you can use a laconic but sophisticated decor - New Year's pendants made of Christmas tree decorations, tinsel and glass beads.
Christmas ball pendants on satin ribbons and 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, traditionally decorate not only glass, but also window sills. The fantasy of winter holiday lovers knows no bounds: along with the usual Christmas trees, Snow Maidens and Santa Clauses, natural compositions of branches and moss, romantic arrangements with candles, snow-covered dollhouses appear.
Remember the magic snow globe, inside which, with a slight shake, a real snowfall begins? It is difficult to make such a toy with your own hands, but we will consider how to decorate a window sill for the New Year using ordinary glass jars. Behind the glass, as in that ball, there is a small winter fairy-tale world with houses, forest animals and Christmas trees.
New Year's gifts under tin lids
There are two options for the design of compositions in banks:
- at the bottom of the 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 jar
Brief instructions for making crafts from inverted cans:
- we find several different-sized glass jars 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 covers;
- we twist the jars, checking whether the figures fit in size;
- if the composition is successful, open the jars and glue the selected items.
Then we finally twist the jars - the original decorations for the New Year for the windowsill are ready!
From the same glass jars you can make beautiful candlesticks. 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, tinsel.
Magic lights for the window sill
Candlesticks with cones
New Year in glasses
Unusual and at the same time natural compositions are obtained from natural materials: cones, twigs of coniferous and deciduous trees, moss, acorns, dry grass, snags, etc. They are perfectly combined with artificial snow, serve as an excellent background for miniature figurines of bullfinches, deer, hares , cubs.
"Trees" from dry branches
From the dried branches, you can build a snow-covered "tree" and fix it in a jar or vase. To revive 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, golden beads and small Christmas balls, key chains with photos of relatives and just satin bows.
Just bumps growing from little chocks
The composition can be made much brighter if the glass vase is replaced with a gilded bottle, and the twigs, along with the decorations hung on it, are covered with sparkles. The easiest option is to buy decorative hairspray, silver or gold, and carefully work each branch.
Both golden balls and red berries look festive
When we decorate the window sill for the New Year with our own hands, we always try to bring something personal, individual, so home-made compositions look warmer, homely and family.
Candles and illumination
Twinkling lights are a must-have 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 window frame 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 interestingly beaten
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 even without pretentious candlesticks.
Candlestick "house", which can be made with your own hands 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 atmosphere into a festive one. Often thin threads of electric garlands decorate the Christmas tree, and also hang them along the walls or under the ceiling. They look no less advantageous as a decor for windows and window sills.

Christmas windows as part of interior design
When decorating a room for the New Year, one must adhere to the rule of proportionality. If you decide to decorate both a chest of drawers, and a window, and a table in the center of the room, and even install a Christmas tree, then you need to do this very carefully. A large number of bright decorations turns a light festive atmosphere into a booth and quickly gets bored. Sometimes a simple design of window panes is enough.
Snowflakes with toothpaste instead of frosty patterns
You can create an unobtrusive festive background using the same flickering electric garlands hung at different points in the room.

How to draw New Year's drawings on the windows?
You can draw on windows in many ways and materials. The main materials can be:
- gouache
- watercolor
- stained glass window
- toothpaste
- markers
Gouache is the easiest to draw. Sometimes, so that gouache does not roll, it is mixed with soap, or it is typed on a brush with a minimum amount of water.
The toothpaste drawings on the windows resemble frosty patterns. With the help of toothpaste, you can achieve the effect of a “frozen window”, make splashes and draw frost. In addition, drawings with toothpaste are easily erased with plain water.
Drawing with markers on windows looks no less impressive. For this type of creativity, special markers for windows are used, other markers and felt-tip pens can be difficult to wash off or not wash off at all.
How to draw New Year's drawings on the windows with toothpaste?
Drawing with toothpaste is much easier than it might seem at first glance! To make a beautiful drawing with toothpaste on the window, you will need:
- white toothpaste for snow and colored toothpaste for other elements
- Toothbrush
- rag
- sketch
- brush
- thin stick for drawing details (may not be needed)
- sponge
- tape or duct tape
Description of the process of painting with toothpaste on the window:
- Cut a small rectangular piece out of the sponge, fix it in the middle with electrical tape or tape to make a kind of sponge.
- Fill a bowl or saucer with the color of toothpaste you want.
- Dip the resulting sponge in toothpaste and transfer the drawing from the sketch to the window with pressure movements. To draw a straight line, you have to work hard.
- Some places can be additionally drawn with a stick.
- If you are not confident in your artistic skills, draw a thin pattern on the window in advance with a brush dipped in water. Or use a stencil.
- You can make a very interesting pattern with toothpaste by attaching a stencil, for example, snowflakes, to glass, and fixing it on double-sided tape. Put some toothpaste on the toothbrush, then run your finger over the bristles of the brush a few times to splatter on the glass. This way there will be toothpaste around the stencil and the stencil area will be clean.
You can also paint with toothpaste using a regular brush or a bristle brush.
How to draw New Year's drawings on the windows with paints, gouache?
Gouache is a word familiar to every artist. Almost everyone started painting with gouache. Watercolor and oil require a certain level of skill, while gouache "forgives" many errors in execution.
Gouache to draw on the windows is very simple:
- Find the right sketch.
- Buy good gouache. It is better to take art paints, and not cheap children's paints, which have a very low surface coverage.
- Buy a wide and thin brush.
- Transfer the drawing with brushes and paints to the surface of the window. Sometimes you need time to get the perfect drawing, as well as a couple of jars of clean water and a sponge to remove failed lines.
- Now your window is decorated with a gouache pattern in the New Year!
Advice! If gouache does not adhere well to glass, mix it with liquid soap so that the consistency is quite thick. This will help the paint lay down more evenly, and save you from spending on window cleaner later on.
You can replace gouache with watercolor, but be prepared for the fact that watercolor is rather capricious in use and you are unlikely to be able to apply a dense layer. And another significant disadvantage of watercolor is that it is difficult to wash it off. It is much easier to wash off the gouache from the windows.

Video: How to paint on windows with toothpaste? We create New Year's drawings and decorate windows with children!!
Each person with the onset of the month of December immediately recalls the fabulous celebration. On the eve of the New Year, according to old customs, people decorate their houses with traditional decorations that can be glued or painted. Therefore, some are concerned about the question of how to draw snowflakes on a toothpaste window? After all, it would seem that this is not quite an ordinary combination, because many people are used to painting with paints.
However, I would like to note that toothpaste allows you to create real painted masterpieces on the windows. Such art has limitless possibilities in decorating windows or glass. Of course, before you create any composition, you need to take into account some of the nuances.
For those people who have experience in this matter, there are undoubtedly fewer difficulties, but those who will delve into this craft for the first time will have to heed some advice. Snowflakes on the toothpaste window will allow you to create fabulous compositions in any style. Although everything will depend on the individual imagination. 
Some people like to simply apply elements of snowflakes, while many draw plots from children's fairy tales. After all, such a holiday is endowed with mystery and magic. Moreover, painted compositions will appeal to anyone, even the most inveterate critic and sloth.
Of course, in order to make the house look festive, you can resort to other decoration options, for example, garlands, stickers, luminous lanterns and many other toys can help decorate the home. But these decorations can not be compared with real painted snowflakes on the window with toothpaste.
Moreover, doing such work, you can call children who love to draw. The participation of children will allow turning creativity into a real pleasure, especially for parents. Window decorations can be applied in different ways.
Different ways to draw snowflakes
Drawing on the window with toothpaste is not at all difficult. First you need to prepare a white paste without adding various impurities. The window must be pre-washed and dried. This option is very suitable for very young children.
After that, a small amount of toothpaste is applied to the tip of the finger and a snowflake is drawn directly with the finger. For a child, the silhouette of an openwork element can first be drawn with a marker of any color. Because for sure the child will not create symmetrical rays of a snowflake, but will be able to circle with a smeared finger. 
If such a drawing is performed by an adult, then it should be taken into account that at first the strip of the applied line from the paste will be abundantly white, then the line will begin to brighten due to the consumption of toothpaste. But since such a “paint” dries quickly, you can apply a second line directly along this strip in order to create a snow-white look to the composition.
Thus, you can draw a dance of snowflakes suspended on a garland. Or simply falling beauties randomly "scatter" on the glass. Not infrequently, many people draw a team with deer according to patterns, and the background of falling snowflakes will harmoniously decorate such a composition, and they are drawn quite quickly with a finger.
However, any drawing can be decorated with snow beauties. Such art is clearly to the taste of many, and the involvement of children will make the process of work more interesting and exciting. After all, drawing with fingers is so funny that the child will obviously be delighted.
How to paint with a brush
This method is a little more complicated than the previous one, because in the course of work a watercolor brush will be required. It is better to take several copies, that is, one thin and the other thick. So it will be more convenient to create an image of falling or dancing snowflakes. 
In the dance, it is necessary to take into account the rows, that is, the silhouettes of beauties from the snow should be of different sizes. For example, the first circle is applied with a thin brush, and the second with a thick one, then the dance will turn out to be symmetrical.
To work, toothpaste is slightly diluted with water and used instead of watercolor. The consistency should not be too thick, but it should not be made liquid either, because then the drawing will drip on the glass and the figure will not work.
Diluted toothpaste may dry out during the drawing process. It is difficult to work with such a tool, so you should add a little water, returning the previous consistency. If you are afraid to draw on glass right away because it may not work out, then you can first practice on a piece of paper.
The method of applying snowflakes to windows with a brush and watercolor
This process will require watercolors, toothpaste and brushes of the same size as in the previous method of applying snow beauties. After that, several small bowls are taken (you can take plastic lids for jars), in which the necessary contents will be diluted.
To do this, a small amount of toothpaste is squeezed into each bowl and the toothpaste is mixed with a thick brush dipped in water and smeared in the desired color of watercolor paint. At the same time, the color and consistency become different and it is easy to draw patterns with them.
These colors can be anything. Not infrequently, for applying artistic compositions, everything is first drawn with a large brush, and for drawing small details, a thinner brush is used. Also, with the help of a tool, gloss is applied, which is prepared in advance. It can be a snow-white snowflake shimmering with white sparks or another pattern. Everything will depend on the imagination of the "artist".

For this work, you need to prepare the necessary stencils. For example, snowflakes and snowmen or fluffy fir branches with a Christmas tree toy attached to it. A snowman can be arranged in the middle of the window, and twigs are better in the corner. Decorate all this with falling openwork snowflakes.
To work, you need to prepare a toothpaste without additives in the composition. Deep bowl for diluting the application agent. A piece of foam rubber and fabric that absorbs moisture well. Toothbrush and selected stencils.
Then wet the glass with plain water using foam rubber and stick stencils on it, as they should “sit” on the glass. After that, dilute the toothpaste with water to the consistency of a clerical stroke. Wet a toothbrush in this composition, bring it as close as possible to the attached stencil and run your finger over the brush. 
In this case, droplets of toothpaste are sprayed on the place where the template is located. Do this until it's all covered. After the stencil has dried, it is removed, and the pattern remains. Snow-white compositions can be supplemented with color inserts using the application methods described above.
It is not uncommon for those who apply such drawings for the first time to spray the brush with toothpaste poorly, so smudges are obtained. You should not be afraid of this, use a fabric prepared in advance for wiping, which will help remove all such troubles.
Now everyone knows how to draw patterns and various compositions, so use these application methods to please yourself and others around you with this for your home. After all, it is New Year's compositions that can immediately cheer everyone up, and this is so important today. Moreover, applying various patterns is so nice.
