The atmosphere of the holiday and the solemn mood largely depend on the situation and interior. That is why decorating a home before certain holidays has long become a tradition.
This is not only a way to make the interior special, but also to bring the whole family together for a common activity.
Creating a New Year's mood
One of the most long-awaited holidays is the New Year. Every home is transformed. A traditional Christmas tree, garlands, figures of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden appear.
One of the ways to create a festive and fabulous atmosphere is to apply frosty patterns on the windows.
This is not at all difficult to do, there are many ways to create such a decor. In addition, all family members can participate in the process.
Preparing to decorate windows with patterns
Before you get started, you need to prepare. Depending on the method of creating and applying frosty patterns on windows, you may need:
- Paper.
- Scissors.
- Stationery knife.
- PVA glue.
- Paint brush.
- Small sponge.
- Toothbrush.
- Toothpaste.
- Soap.
- A little glitter if desired.
It is absolutely not necessary to arm yourself with all this without exception. In some cases, 2 - 3 items from the given list are sufficient.
Methods for drawing a picture on windows
In this case, several options are possible.
It is not necessary to make a choice in favor of one of the methods. They can be very well combined.
The process of creating a frosty pattern on the window with your own hands
The technique of drawing a picture on glass directly depends on the skills and wishes of the creator:
This method is perfect for those who have the necessary skills in drawing.
- When using frost patterns on a window, you can also use a brush. It can draw the cuts completely, in a dense layer. Then the drawing will turn out clear and traced.
- If you want to get a more delicate image as a result, then you can dilute white toothpaste with a little water. Dip your toothbrush into the mixture. And then run your finger along the bristles, creating splashes and directing them to the glass.
It is necessary to continue until the pattern is completely formed. You can apply the mixture in several layers until the color becomes more saturated.
- The same mixture of toothpaste can be applied with a sponge. It must be dipped in toothpaste diluted with water. It is advisable to remove excess mixture so that there are no smudges.
Then apply the sponge to the glass, as if blotting. It turns out translucent ornate traces, which will become frosty patterns on the window.
By the same principle, you can use a solution of water with gelatin, and instead of "snow" ordinary salt.
As can be seen from the description, the process is not complicated. If there is absolutely no experience in drawing and homework, then there is nothing wrong with using drawings and images from the Internet.
Templates for patterns
Most often, patterns are used to decorate window panes. With their help, you can create almost any pattern that will look beautiful and neat.
Many ready-made templates can be found on the Internet. All you have to do is print them out, cut them out and use them.
But you can do it all yourself. To do this, it is necessary to think over the entire composition completely: what size the pattern will be, in what part of the window it will be located, etc.
This will help determine what size the paper sheet should be. Now you can draw. It is advisable to do this with a simple pencil so that you can correct it.
When the drawing is ready, you can start cutting. The finished template can be attached again in the right place to make sure that it matches the idea.
A stencil (or template) is easier to use when it is not moving. To do this, you can moisten the paper in a soapy solution and attach it to the window.
Now we draw frosty patterns on the window, filling all the cutouts in the template with white flowers. When the paper dries, it will not be difficult to remove it from the glass. The template lends itself easily and does not spoil the drawing in any way.
The advantage of a template is that it can be used multiple times. At the same time, the frosty pattern is repeated in exactly the same way as many times as necessary.
It is very comfortable. For example, if you need to decorate several windows of the same room. Or the composition, as planned, is repeated on all windows of the house.
Vytynanki on the windows
This is one of the very interesting ways to decorate glass. The vytynankas of frosty patterns on the windows are a separate drawing or composition cut out of white paper.
This way of decorating requires thorough preparation. It will take more time to draw and cut. Then it remains only to fix it all on the glass.
As in the case of templates, you can find ready-made drawings. Or show your imagination and apply a pattern to the paper yourself.
This type of creativity has its own characteristics. Therefore, novice masters are advised to first make a small drawing in order to understand the principle of work. Especially if a ready-made solution is not used.
Vytynanka on the windows usually look brighter, because they are clearly defined.
Window Painting Ideas
A variety of images can be applied to glass. For example, large and ornate patterns that completely fill the space of the window pane. Or small neat drawings that are located only in the corners of the windows.
Also, the drawing can be with clear boundaries and completely painted over. Or it will be a light translucent pattern.
Often a white splash background is applied to the glass. And on top they already paint with white paint or paste with a brush. The process is more laborious, but everything looks very beautiful.
Or on the same white background, you can draw with the back of the brush. In this case, part of the applied composition is erased from the glass and a pattern remains in the form of transparent lines on a white background.
You can use your own ideas or take inspiration from photos of frosty patterns on windows.
Drawing patterns on windows with children
Children are happy to take part in the process of decorating the house. Painting frosty patterns on the window is no exception. At the same time, the process perfectly develops imagination and fine motor skills of the hands.
If the child is old enough and can use scissors on his own, then you should let him show his imagination and create a template (or draw a picture) on his own.
If very young children are included in the process, then they cannot do without the help of older ones. It should be borne in mind that out of curiosity, kids often try to taste the “frosty pattern”.
In this case, it is desirable to use sweet edible syrups (for example, sugar dissolved in water) instead of a soapy solution. And powdered sugar instead of "snow".
To make the drawings of frosty patterns on the windows beautiful, and the application process does not cause trouble, it is advisable to follow some recommendations:
- Clean the glass surface first. This will help the pattern lie flat and hold on for a long time.
- Smudges or errors in the image are easily erased from the glass. So the drawing can be corrected at any stage of creation.
- Frosty paper patterns on the window are best fixed with a soapy solution. PVA glue will take longer and be harder to wash off.
- Small and complex details of the pattern are easier to cut with a clerical knife.
- When using a clerical knife for cutting, it is recommended to place a wooden plank so as not to damage the surface of the table.
- The whole process from start to finish can take quite a long time. It is recommended to think over and prepare templates, vytynanki and everything you need in advance. And then devote some time to applying to the windows. Thus, this activity will not get bored and will only bring pleasure from joint creativity.
- If a composition of a very large size is conceived, then it can be made up of fragments. Especially if it is a template or a vytynanka. It is difficult to cut and paste very large images.
It is difficult to find a person who would not admire at least once in the winter the view of frozen moisture on the glass. Amazingly beautiful frosty pattern on the window, it turns out, you can create with your own hands. And it's not that hard.
Anyone can try to make a simple or more intricate winter composition even inside the home: on a glass interior door, cabinet door or mirror. And for this, frost and moisture are not needed at all.
There are several ways to create at home. Let's try to figure out what is needed for this and what skills will be required from the performer.
Natural frosty pattern on the window
Winter stains on glass are, in fact, frost that forms under certain conditions on tree branches, wires and any other surface. This happens when the temperature drops below zero degrees. The moisture in the surrounding air freezes, turns into a solid state and settles in the form of ice crystals on the surfaces that have turned up.
The same thing happens with windows. The seemingly smooth glass actually has minor scratches and cracks. They contain particles of dust. Ice crystals that fall on this heterogeneous and uneven surface, especially when exposed to gusts of wind, form a unique frosty pattern.
Unfortunately, with the advent of the sun or heat, this beauty disappears. Modern plastic windows exclude the possibility of frost stains. Their double-glazed windows are reliably insulated, they mist up a little from the inside and do not allow freezing of the internal space.
But how can you stop an artistic person who wants to create a frosty pattern on his window pane in the summer? Of course not!
frost pattern: imitation
If there are no two main factors - moisture and glass cooled to a negative temperature - the occurrence of natural frost on the window is impossible. Having learned the reasons for the formation of frost patterns, you can try to create them in the summer.
Chemical reactions of crystallization of certain solutions come to the rescue. Known methods for the formation of imitation of frosty patterns using magnesium sulfate (other names: magnesia, bitter or can be used for these purposes (also known as antichlorine, hyposulfite, photographic fixer).
These chemicals are non-hazardous and can be purchased from pharmacies or chemical stores, and with minimal safety requirements, can be used for decorative purposes to mimic a frosty pattern.
You will also need brushes for drawing a picture, you can use cotton pads, a sponge or other items suitable for this. To speed up the evaporation of moisture, it is convenient to use a hair dryer.
chemical frost
To create a frosty pattern using magnesium sulfate, you need to dilute 50 mg of this substance in 100 g of beer and draw stains with a brush on a cleanly washed and dried window with this solution. After drying (you can speed up the process with a hairdryer), magnesia crystals will appear on the surface.
Another version of the working solution: the same magnesium sulfate, but boiled water is used instead of beer and a tablespoon of diluted gelatin is added. A brush, sponge or rag swab is used. The solution is applied with chaotic and chaotic movements on degreased glass.
Frosty patterns on glass using sodium thiosulfate are formed after the evaporation of moisture from a working solution prepared from 40 g of this substance dissolved in a glass of water. The chemical pattern in this case will be white, denser, opaque, reminiscent of snow.
The technique of creating a drawing is selected individually. After several trials, certain skills can be developed. You need to try to depict frosty stains, "feathers", curls, impromptu snowflakes. The solution after an unsuccessful attempt can be easily removed with a damp cloth and repeat the creative process again.
Wood glue
Previously, in Soviet times, frosty patterns on glass were obtained using the surface. It was necessary to remove the gloss from the surface, process it to a light dullness with sandpaper or sand with an abrasive. The bottom line is that soaked in water and swollen tile or granular wood glue dries out, wrinkles and shrinks in an unpredictable way during hardening.
If such a composition, heated to a fluid state in a water bath, is applied with a layer of up to 3 mm to glass treated to a haze, then in a day it will begin to dry out. The composition stuck to the surface, shrinking during the hardening process, will form a network of unique patterns. After completion, the crumbled particles are carefully swept away with a brush.
Glass for such frost should not be chosen thin, otherwise it will simply be bent and deformed by the tension force of the drying wood glue. The working composition is applied to a flat horizontal surface and left for a day.
Such a frosty pattern remains forever. Wipe from dust and wash the glass after exposure to wood glue should be careful - the sharp edges of the pattern can injure the skin.
painting with toothpaste
Not everyone decides to paint window panes, arguing that they lack artistic abilities or unwillingness to wash windows of paint. But with the help of such material, easily washable drawings can be obtained. Frosty patterns with toothpaste are safe, this technology is available even to children.
Glasses after unsuccessful creative processes are easy to clean and even shine better after that. And creativity can be limited to just a simple spray of dissolved toothpaste from a spray bottle.
The main thing is to make up your mind, and having understood the simplicity of the idea, you can try to paint the glass with a brush (preferably with stiff bristles) in the style of frosty frost. Smears are applied, starting from the corner and moving towards the center. To simplify, you can keep a suitable image of a natural frosty pattern or any abstract picture on hand.
by template
For people who don't want to paint but want to decorate their windows with fake frost, there's an easy way to create DIY frost patterns. A stencil with a ready-made composition will be the best solution for those who have never taken a brush and paint in their hands.
You can buy a template with a picture in a store or make it yourself. This will not be difficult if you do not immediately set yourself the goal of simulating realistic winter divorces. You can download the composition you like from the Internet, but it is better to draw it yourself, especially together with your child.
You can start with a simple snowman, a simple image of a Christmas tree, various animals, ornate stars. After transferring the pattern to thick paper, the contours are carefully cut out. The template is applied to the glass or glued with adhesive tape and a solution of toothpaste diluted to a creamy state is applied.
If you add a little watercolor or gouache paint to it, you can get more opportunities for implementing ideas. For application, use a kitchen foam sponge or brush. You can use as a background as a stencil not only a sheet with a cutout, but also the image itself, applying a coloring composition around it.
With a small child who is used to tasting everything, you can arrange a fun drawing. Frosty patterns can be made completely safe if you use powdered sugar to create them.
It can be attached to sterile glass on an adhesive base of honey diluted with water, sucrose, fructose or any tasty syrup. If the baby really likes the result, he can even eat home-made frost patterns.
The stencil is applied to the washed glass, an edible adhesive is smeared, then ground granulated sugar is applied with a powder puff or a soft powder brush. Even a child can do this. The safety of the exciting process is observed, the kids will be delighted. And they can safely taste the drawing after removing the stencil.
artificial snow
There is another easy way to create frost on any surface. A frosty window pattern using a stencil can be applied quickly and easily with artificial snow. It is better to choose a can with this composition from the category of non-melting flakes.
For a better choice of winter composition associated with the New Year holidays. Snowflakes and all sorts of fairy-tale characters acting in winter will do.
Glasses are washed and wiped dry so that no condensation or wet stains remain. Shake the can of snow thoroughly before use. The sides of the template should fit snugly against the glass so that clear frost patterns can be obtained. It is better to attach the stencil with tape.
Spray the composition from a distance of 15 to 40 cm, depending on the desired effect of frost density. After applying the snow, its excess is removed with a dry cloth, the stencil is carefully removed.
Snowflakes for windows
A frosty pattern on glass is not necessarily an ornate unique pattern. For many people, a simple snowflake on the window is a symbol of winter and the New Year holidays.
You can start creating frosty patterns for children by making homemade paper masterpieces. Any paper can serve as a material, but napkins have traditionally been used for this purpose. They are already folded into four layers. It remains to make one more diagonal fold, so that this is the middle part of the snowflake, take the scissors and start creating.
You can cut out the pattern according to the templates or come up with your own pattern. Knowing in advance what will turn out for a snowflake is quite difficult. Only after removing unnecessary details and unfolding the paper sheet, you can imagine and understand how this or that intricate pattern turned out. Snowflakes can be decorated with glitter, or you can cut them out of foil.
Everyone can make frosty patterns with their own hands, the main thing is to want it, highlight and spend a little time and effort. Mood, impressions and positive emotions are guaranteed.
Teaching children to beauty from childhood is a very important task. One way is to draw.
Today we will try to answer the question:
"How can you teach a child to draw frosty drawings on paper?"
In order to start drawing we need:
- a sheet of paper of at least A4 size;
- simple pencil;
- eraser;
- gouache paints and brushes.
Instruction
- We give a shade of cold blue, for this we dilute the blue paint with water. We pass the entire sheet with paint, creating a background. It is important to correctly shade the background, the top of the sheet should be lighter than the bottom.
- After the sheet dries, we make a sketch of the drawing with a pencil over the entire sheet. We draw a chaotic pattern, with thin, needle-like petals. We use imagination, we try to make various patterns.
- We take blue paint and draw our pattern with a thin brush.
- Next, add a contrast of bright white paint here and there. It is very important to "whiten" the drawing in the central part and on the left.
- When the drawing dries in places, add neat to orange and pale blue buds. This will allow you to overflow and play with colors in the picture.
As you can see, drawing a frosty pattern is not so difficult.

Music to create masterpieces
So, let's turn on some nice background music and… draw winter with the kids!
Draw "snow"
mtdata.ru
You can imitate snow in the picture in different ways.
Option number 1. Draw with PVA glue and semolina. Squeeze out the right amount of glue directly from the tube, if necessary, you can smear it with a brush (if you plan to cover large surfaces). Sprinkle the image with semolina. After drying, shake off the excess cereal.
www.babyblog.ru
Option number 2. Draw with salt and flour. Mix 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of salt and the same amount of flour. We stir the “snow” well and draw winter!
www.bebinka.ru
Option number 3. Draw with toothpaste. Toothpaste perfectly fulfills the role of "snow" in the drawings. It can be tinted with watercolor or gouache if you want to get a color image.
Drawings with white paste on dark paper look beautiful. And they SMELL delicious!
Toothpaste has gained the greatest popularity, perhaps, because it is easily washed off, so you can draw with paste on glass. Feel free to take tubes in your hands and let's go decorate mirrors, windows and other glass surfaces in the house!
polonsil.ru
Option number 4. Draw with shaving foam. If you mix PVA glue with shaving foam (in equal proportions), you get an excellent "snow" paint.
www.kokokokids.ru
Option number 5. Painting with salt. If you pour salt on a drawing circled with PVA glue, you get a sparkling snowball.
Drawing on crumpled paper
An unusual effect will be obtained if you draw on previously crumpled paper. The paint will remain in creases and form something like crackle.
Drawing with stencils
img4.searchmasterclass.net
Stencils make the process of drawing easier for those who "don't know how" (as it seems to him). If you use several stencils at the same time, you can get an unexpected effect.
mtdata.ru
Leaving the part of the image covered by the stencil unpainted, you can pay more attention to the background: sprinkle salt on the still wet surface, apply strokes in different directions with a hard brush, etc. Experiment!
www.pics.ru
Several sequentially superimposed stencils and splashes. It is convenient to use an old toothbrush or a hard bristle brush for this purpose.
www.liveinternet.ru
A knitted snowflake will help create real lace on paper. Any thick paint will do: gouache, acrylic. You can use a can (spray from a short distance strictly vertically).
We draw with wax
Wax drawings look unusual. Using an ordinary (not colored) candle, draw a winter landscape, and then cover the sheet with dark paint. The image "appears" right in front of your eyes!
Who are you? Seal?
masterpodelok.com
The effect of fluffy wool will help to create a simple technique: dip a flat brush into thick paint (gouache) and apply strokes with a “poke”. Drawings with white paint always look better on a dark contrasting background. All shades of blue are perfect for winter motifs.
How to draw winter trees
www.o-children.ru
The crowns of these trees are made using a plastic bag. Dip in paint and dab in the right places - that's the whole secret of "snow caps" for trees.
cs311120.vk.me
Finger painting is great for kids. We dip the index finger in thick gouache and generously sprinkle snow on the branches!
masterpodelok.com
Unusually beautiful snow-covered trees are obtained using a cabbage leaf. Cover a sheet of Beijing cabbage with white gouache - and voila! On a colored background, such a painting looks especially impressive.
www.mtdesign.ru
No cabbage - no problem. Any leaves with pronounced veins will do. You can even donate your favorite ficus. The only BUT, remember that the juice of many plants is poisonous! Make sure that the child does not taste his new “brush”.
www.teddyclub.org
The trunk is a handprint. Everything else is a matter of minutes.
www.maam.ru
orangefrog.ru
A favorite technique for many is blowing paint through a tube. We create “snowiness” using the fingerprints of a small artist.
www.blogimam.com
Not everyone will guess how this charming birch grove is drawn. A resourceful artist used masking tape! Cut strips of the desired width and glue on a white sheet. Paint over the background and remove the paint. Draw characteristic "lines" so that the birches become recognizable. The moon is made in the same way. Thick paper is suitable for these purposes, the adhesive tape should not be too sticky so as not to damage the top layer of the pattern.
Draw with bubble wrap
mtdata.ru
We apply white paint to the pimply film and apply it to the finished drawing. Here comes the snow!
mtdata.ru
The same technique can be applied in applications.
The snowman has melted. It's a pity…
mtdata.ru
This idea is suitable for both the youngest artists and those who want to make a gift "with humor". Cut out “spare parts” for the snowman from colored paper in advance: nose, eyes, hat, twig hands, etc. Draw a melted puddle, wait for the paint to dry and glue what is left of the poor snowman. Such a drawing can be a great gift for loved ones on behalf of the baby. More ideas in our article.
Draw with palms
www.kokokokids.ru
An easy way to create a wonderfully touching Christmas card is to tell a story about funny snowmen. A whole family will turn out if, on the basis of a palm print, draw carrot noses, coal eyes, bright scarves, buttons, twig hands, and hats to your fingers.
What is there outside the window?
ic.pics.livejournal.com
What does the window look like from the street? Unusual! Invite the child to look at the window through the eyes of Santa Claus or another character who may be outside in the most severe cold.
Dear readers! Surely you have your own "winter" drawing techniques. Tell us about them in the comments.
Svetlana Borisova
i] Objectives: to teach children to draw frosty patterns in the style of lace. Create conditions for the free, creative use of various decorative elements: a dot, a circle, a curl, a leaf, a petal, a shamrock, a wavy line, a straight line. Improve the technique of drawing with the end of the brush. Develop a sense of form and composition.
Materials: pictures of patterns on winter windows, pictures of Vologda lace, samples of decorative elements: a dot, a circle, a curl, a leaf, a shamrock, a wavy line, a straight line, sheets of white paper, blue paint, thin brushes, jars of water, napkins.
Lesson progress:
The teacher asks the children about the time of year.
Guys, what time of year is it. (Winter)
And what happens in winter? (Snow, cold, frost)
Have any of you seen what frost draws on the windows? (Patterns)
The teacher shows a picture of the pattern on the window and at the same time offers to listen to the fairy tale "Spindle Grandmother" as presented by L. L. Yakhnin. (see below)
After reading the tale, he shows pictures of Vologda lace.
Look at the pictures of patterns and Vologda lace. What can you say about them? Are these pictures similar? How are they similar? (The patterns on the windows are fabulous, intricately intertwined, like threads in lace)
Today you will decorate your "windows" with frosty patterns. Look at the pictures of frosty patterns carefully. To make the drawings fabulous, beautiful, various decorative elements are used for drawing. This is a point, a circle, a curl, a leaf, a petal, a shamrock, a wavy line, a straight line.
The teacher shows the decor elements.
Let's warm up a little before we get to work.
Physical education "Snow"
Like snow on a hill, snow, (get up on your toes, hands up)
And under the hill snow, snow, (squat)
And on the Christmas tree snow, snow, (get up, hands to the sides)
And under the tree snow, snow. (we wrap our arms around ourselves)
And under the snow a bear sleeps (swayed from side to side, hands
bent at the elbows, in front of the chest, palms away from you)
Hush, hush, don't make noise! (finger to lips, whisper)
Now take your pieces of paper, think about what pattern you would like to draw on your “window” and get to work. To make the patterns airy, draw with the end of the brush, do not draw on a lot of water.
