New Year is a fabulous holiday that each of us is looking forward to. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance. To create a New Year's mood in their home, they use different secrets: decorate the Christmas tree, decorate walls and windows with multi-colored garlands, hang fancy "Chinese" lanterns, etc. Windows do not deprive of attention either: more and more often in houses shining with multi-colored lights you can see stunning drawings on the windows for the New Year!
The idea of decorating windows for the New Year originated in antiquity. For example, the Celts decorated the shutters of their houses and wooden window sills with fragrant spruce branches: it was believed that their smell drove away evil spirits and evil spirits. Among the Chinese, ringing ornaments played a similar role: in their opinion, the melody of the bells frightens the demon and prevents him from entering the house.
In Russia, the tradition of drawing images on the windows for the New Year holidays appeared thanks to Peter I. It was he who ordered to decorate their homes with a Christmas tree, as well as colorful ribbons and toys. The beloved tradition was fixed in the Soviet period: our grandparents decorated windows with paper snowflakes, home-made fabric compositions, painted with toothpaste on glass.
In our time, the "New Year's" traditions have not changed, but have been supplemented with new ways of decor. Today, to decorate windows for the New Year, you can:
- purchase a special paint for painting on glass, which is easily washed off after the festivities;
- buy themed templates / stencils or download them for free from the Internet;
- use original stickers and Christmas toys, etc.
Paper window decorations
This is the most optimal method of decor for the New Year: affordable and economical, but most importantly - the most creative and loved by children. The main thing is the consistent observance of the instructions. Popular solutions are: unique stencils, whimsical garlands and, of course, nostalgic snowflakes!
stencils
Cardboard or paper stencils can be made by yourself, bought at the nearest “gifts and souvenirs” store, or found on the Internet. These New Year's elements will be an excellent decoration for a glazed balcony or loggia. Find the template you like, download it to your computer, print it on A4 and cut it out along the contour.
The finished paper image can be:
- hang on a thread in front of the window: you can tie the decoration to the curtain, curtain;
- glue to glass: use ordinary soapy water (there are fewer problems with subsequent peeling off);
- attach the stencil to the window and circle it with soap: then you can colorize the resulting image with paint or the same soap.
Fairy lights
Kids just love making these multi-colored "snakes"! However, it is best for parents to follow the manufacturing technique. You will need:
- multi-colored paper;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- pencil.
The simplest technique. It is necessary to cut out strips of the following parameters from colored paper: width - 1 cm, length - 12 mm. Glue rings from miniature strips, carefully threading one ring into the previous one.
Snowflakes
A wonderful classic of the genre. Your child will be happy when you show him the magical transformation of a modest piece of paper into a fantastic snowflake. The technique for making different “snow” shapes is always the same: fold the template with the drawn lines (see the diagram below) and carefully cut out the image along the contour. It is recommended to glue snowflakes to glass with ordinary soapy water.
It is best to use different stencils, in which case you will get a whole warehouse of snowflakes - unusual shapes and attractive patterns.
Painting windows
A unique drawing on the New Year's window is a good tradition known to everyone. One has only to lightly touch the cold glass and decorate it with bright New Year's flowers, as the room will become much warmer and more comfortable.
It is easy to create an indescribable mood with the help of colorful compositions. Depending on what images you want to receive, you need to purchase various materials:
- PVA glue: used as a supplement. Apply the outlines of the pattern to the glass with glue and stick sequins and tinsel on it. The result is an unusually fluffy composition.
To decorate the house for the New Year, a variety of thematic drawings and plots are used. Most often depicted:
- weightless snowflakes in white tones;
- Snow Maiden and Santa Claus;
- an elegant Christmas tree decorated with lanterns;
- painted sleigh and reindeer of Santa Claus;
- colored toys and garlands.
However, it is best not to limit yourself to only one New Year's theme. A spectacular addition to the traditional composition will be:
- funny faces;
- forest animals;
- houses with "warm" windows;
- snowy landscapes;
- heroes of children's fairy tales.
It would also be appropriate to use Christmas stories:
- angels;
- candles;
- gift packages;
- biblical themes.
Tip: Create New Year's drawings on the windows in an “airy” and light format: do not overload the window with plain colors. The exception is snowy landscapes - white is appropriate here with the addition of one bright accent.
Necessary materials
- brushes of various shapes;
- scissors / clerical knife;
- brush for cleaning teeth;
- sticks and scrapers;
- fabric (for erasing);
- jar for water.
Drawing technique
1. Having chosen the image you like, you need to print it as a stencil. Using carbon paper, transfer the drawing to whatman paper.
2. Cut out the composition along the outline. Attach the stencil to the window with soapy water
3. Outline the template with paint or paste. Wait for the paint to dry and remove the stencil. 
4. Draw the details with thin sticks and a brush, erase all unnecessary.
To create a "fluffy" effect, you need to moisten the toothbrush in ordinary water with the addition of a few drops of paint. After that, “shade” the paint with your fingers.
Note: To quickly dry the picture, you can use a regular hair dryer: cold air and low flow mode.

Christmas stencils for paper windows
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 is nothing difficult in this. I will offer you three options, and you give preference to the one that will be convenient and easier for you.
Work in Word
In order to start working in Word, the template you have chosen, save it to your computer. Then open Word. Then click "Insert" and "Picture". A window will appear asking you to select your template.
As you can see, the picture 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, press the left mouse button. A frame will appear around it. Stretching it enlarges the picture.
If the lines of your drawing come out pale, they can be strengthened. Again we 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 are looking for the word "Correction" on the same panel, click. A dropdown menu will open. In the "Adjust sharpness" section, select your template with an increase of 50%.
I reduced the page so you can see how I managed to stretch the image to fit the entire page.
Work in Excel
If you want to get a much larger picture, then you can't do it without Excel. Let's go to this program. Just like in Word, click "Insert" and "Picture". In the window that appears, look for your template.
We bring the arrow to the picture and press the left mouse button. A frame will appear, with the help of which you need to stretch the picture. In Excel, this can be done to very large scales both down and to the side, only then the drawing will consist of several parts. The program itself will divide the drawing for printing. I got 8 sheets.
Translating the stencil with paper and pencil
If your home does not have a printer, use the third method. By the way, it can also be applied after working in Word and Excel, when the picture is enlarged.
We take any template that you like.
We point the arrow at the picture, press the right mouse button. A list appears in 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 the “+” again until the picture is full screen.
After that, we take a blank sheet of paper, apply it to the screen. We arm ourselves with a pencil and redraw the picture. With backlight from the monitor, this will be easy to do.
How to cut paper stencils for windows
To cut the 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. You can buy it at any hardware store.
We cut out the main pattern 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 stick a paper stencil on a window
It seems to be elementary, however, there are many but ... Some are glued with plain water or soapy water, while others do not have such stencils. 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 composition of soap or walk it on the glass and then stick it on. But far from always the drawing will remain on the glass that sweats. Therefore, to say: “Guys, glue like this and everything will be fine with you” is not entirely fair.
Each window needs an individual approach. It is necessary to consider, as I said, whether it cries or not. What temperature in the room - cold or warm - this also has an effect. Here everything is individual, as they say by typing - it holds, it does not hold. All I can offer you is to tell you about the various methods used to stick paper stencils. I think one of these versions will definitely suit you.
- Soap composition or simply rub with well-soaked laundry soap.
- Transparent tape, but it leaves an imprint on the glass.
- Diluted toothpaste, but not very rare.
- Kefir, however strange it may seem, people glue with such a drink, however, it will also stain the window, and if you have a cat, then the decoration will not last long, as you understand.
- Flour paste, which is prepared on the basis of flour and water. The consistency should be like sour cream. But again, the question of stains on the glass during washing in the spring.
- Starch paste is diluted starch.
- Dry glue stick.
- Another gluing option is regular milk.
- Sugar syrup - boil and then glue.
- Gelatin liquid is prepared as usual, but we add a little more water than indicated in the recipe.
- Double-sided tape, it is hardly noticeable on the glass, it is easy to remove, but then you need to carefully wash the traces.
- Shaving cream for men, dissolve in a little 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 for sure which method suits you.
An article about New Year's drawings on windows came out quite voluminous. I hope you liked the stencils for cutting and 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, Natalya Murga
