New Year is one of the most long-awaited holidays, which is loved by both adults and children. Therefore, it is important to prepare for it in advance. People start decorating their own homes from the end of November.
Decorating window and doorways will not take you much time. To decorate the house you will need improvised materials. And the right tools can be found at any homeowner. We will be happy to help you with original ideas on how to decorate windows for the New Year.
Paper toys are wonderful decorations
“Holiday crafts” is one of the most popular queries. It is also worth remembering that you definitely need the appropriate templates. Cut them out and make up toys with your own hands.
Window openings have a significant impact on the overall impression of the interior. In the process of decorating the room, they should be given enough attention. Make sure that the design is done in the same style.
A practical option is to use paper snowflakes. The symbol of the year should also be paid tribute. The mistress of the coming year will be a dog. Be sure to display her image on the window. New Year's motifs can be different: the figure of Santa Claus, garlands, Christmas tree.
Such homemade products were recently called stencils or simply stickers. Today they have a different name - “vytynanki”, and they are used for decoration when preparing for the following holidays:
- Birthday;
- Halloween
- The 14th of February;
- International Women's Day.
On the eve of the New Year holidays, not only houses are decorated, but also shop windows, glass doors of institutions, stained-glass windows of cafes. People create a festive atmosphere in the workplace.
DIY Christmas crafts
How to make vytynanki yourself? You can connect all family members to this creative process: from small to large. For stencils, it is enough to prepare ordinary paper. However, if desired, home craftsmen can use other materials:
- foil;
- metallized paper;
- tracing paper.
Snowflakes with snowmen have long become traditional compositions, therefore, we can say that they are a little boring. Dream up and create your own New Year's masterpiece! Let your composition contain gifts, Christmas trees, deer with garlands and the main characters - Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden.
And don't forget the Dog. She, too, can become the heroine of your composition. Images or drawings will help to make a New Year's stencil.
Prepare the following tools:
- Board for cutting stencils
- Scissors with straight and rounded ends
- simple pencil
- Gum
- ruler
- patterns
- Stationery knife
Cut out large elements with a clerical knife, and for smaller parts, use scissors.
Recommendation: For those who can draw, it is not at all necessary to spend their time looking for suitable images. Draw them yourself. If you do not have the talent of an artist, then it does not matter - print a picture from the Internet. If there is no printer, then enlarge the image you like, lean a sheet of paper against the monitor and circle the outlines.
How to work with stencils?
There are several methods:
Take a new sponge and make a small brush out of it. To prepare the paint, you will need to mix toothpaste with water. Apply the image to the window glass and wait until it is completely dry. The resulting composition resembles snow.
Make your own Christmas decorations and stick them on the windows with a bar of soap. You can prepare a special adhesive by mixing flour with water.
Note!
Perform the main composition on glass with gouache. Use paper protrusions to complete the image.
To get a stencil picture, press the wet stencil against the window surface and circle the desired contours with soapy water. Use a sponge or brush as a tool. Any irregularities can be easily corrected with a toothpick.
The main way to attach the stencil to the window is with transparent tape.
Have you decided to create a panoramic composition for the New Year? Then the following tips may help you:
Note!
Small elements are also important, they can be used to make beautiful compositions. Place spruce branches, stars, snowflakes with garlands on top.
Note! If for the first time you decorate the windows in the house before the New Year, do not choose complex stencils. When you gain experience, you can make a vytynanka of any complexity.
If you take materials that have different textures or textures, you can create modern masterpieces.
Snow landscapes with toothpaste
Making festive vytynankas is an exciting activity for people of all ages. Snow patterns are applied with a brush and paste. This technique allows you to achieve the maximum effect, while the costs will be minimal.
To create a picture, you need to use:
Note!
- Ready-made vytynanka
- Toothbrush with paste
To get started, take a stencil of a candle or an angel. It is better to cut sharp corners with a clerical knife, then the products will turn out neat, like factory ones.
The vytynanka is lowered into water or a soapy solution and pressed against the window. Excess water should be blotted with a dry sponge or paper towel.
Squeeze a small amount of toothpaste into a container, add water and mix well. Apply a homogeneous mass to the brush with which you will spray on the glass. A unique decoration can occupy the entire surface of the window, the lower or upper part.
The stencils are removed when the paste is completely dry and the snow landscape is ready.
Original decor options
If you are interested in interesting design ideas, then you should not be limited to using ready-made stencils. They are sold everywhere: in specialized stores and supermarkets.
Using ready-made stickers is not difficult: they are easy to stick to any surface. After the holiday, the stencils can be carefully removed and put away in a box until next year. There are no traces of handicrafts left on the glass.
You can make almost the same stickers with your own hands. Prepare the following:
- Universal polymer adhesive
- transparent file
- Image
Glue is applied along the edges of the picture and the sheet is inserted into a transparent file. It is necessary to wait about 10 hours for the glue to dry. Remove the resulting polymer sketch. The relief decoration is a hardened substance. Such stencils can be attached to mirrors, kitchen fronts and other furniture.
homemade garland
Alternative window decorations for the New Year are New Year's garlands, you can buy them or make them yourself.
Prepare the necessary materials:
- Fishing line or strong thread
Roll up cotton balls. They need to be strung on a fishing line. Between the balls should be approximately the same distance.
The length of the "snow rain" may be equal to the height of the window opening or be slightly shorter. The garland looks prettier when it has a lot of threads. In order to fix the decorations, a fishing line is used, fixed on the cornice or between the slopes.
Beautiful snowflakes are great for decorating garlands. In addition to them, you can hang small Christmas tree balls with colored rain on threads. Passers-by, looking into your windows, it will seem that it is snowing.
If households are involved in the manufacture of garlands, things will go quickly. You will definitely have time to decorate all the premises, working only in the evenings, when the whole family is gathered.
Helpful advice! Place your homemade garlands, stepping back one step from the window. In this case, a shadow falls on the glass, and the homemade product looks more impressive.
Electric garlands are a traditional classic; in a modern interpretation, the models are presented in the form of a luminous grid. However, it is already difficult to surprise anyone with this.
Creative ideas - take note!
Impressive paper panoramas that glow are a new way to decorate window openings before the holidays. It takes time to create such compositions, but it's worth it. And the tools you need are the usual:
- Cardboard
- Scissors
On thick paper, apply a New Year's pattern that repeats. Use figurines of forest animals, Christmas trees, houses and other suitable elements. You can take images from the Internet.
It looks beautiful when the length of the garland matches the length of the window sill. To make such a decoration, glue several sheets of paper together.
Bend each sheet at the bottom by 3 or 5 cm. This will be needed for the stability of the composition. Paper strips are placed parallel to the window panes. Garlands and LED strips are installed between different compositions.
At nightfall, the decorations glow beautifully when they are illuminated by electric garlands or from the headlights of passing cars. The effect of chiaroscuro creates a unique New Year's atmosphere.
When there is not much time for making homemade products, transform the window opening with improvised means that you can find. Let it be an artificial Christmas tree, a toy Santa Claus with a bag of gifts or a candle.
Windows, decorated with inspiration and love, will give vivid impressions to the owners of the dwelling, who are waiting for New Year's miracles.
Finally, a couple more useful tips for those who want to prepare for the holiday properly.
The window sill acts as a stage for you. Its decoration is a creative process. Romantic mood is created by candles in stylish candlesticks. Put them on the windowsill, and Christmas decorations and fir branches look good between them.
Candles can be placed on a small tray. If you put sprigs of coniferous trees, then the room will be filled with an incomparable aroma. The composition made up of candles of different heights looks original.
To turn the window sill into a place for staging a New Year's fairy tale, use souvenir toys. Let bear cubs and dolls be the main characters in your fairy tale. Stars, garlands or tinsel will complement the composition well.
Choose any fairy-tale plot of a New Year's fairy tale and start creating. Make the figure of the Symbol of the Year - the Yellow Earth Dog. May she be on guard for well-being all year round. The symbol of the Year can be a soft toy or paper craft.
To add a New Year's wish, make a stencil. If you write beautifully, then make the inscription by hand. Use watercolors and a brush. Letters can be made with a tube of toothpaste. Create any snow patterns - you will not find such decoration anywhere else.
Photo of decorations on the windows for the new year
Applying various patterns to windows for the New Year has already become a good tradition in Russia. And it is right. It is worth it in any, even the most simple way, to decorate the windows - and the spirit of the holiday is already knocking on the house. As if from a fairy tale - patterns on the glasses, as if drawn by the hand of Santa Claus. And how children love to decorate windows - for them this is a prelude to the New Year's celebration.
The tradition of decorating windows for the New Year came from the deep past. Even the Celts decorated shutters and window sills with spruce branches to ward off evil spirits. For the same purpose, the Chinese hung ringing decorations in front of the windows - so that melodious bells would scare away demons with their sound.
In Russia, the tradition of putting pictures on the windows for the New Year appeared during the time of Peter I, who, by his decree, ordered not only to decorate Christmas trees, but also to decorate dwellings. This tradition took root most firmly in our country during the Soviet era. At that time, windows were decorated with snowflakes, fabric compositions and, of course, toothpaste.
Since then, technology has come a long way. Appeared special washable paints for painting on glass, you can find many original patterns in order to draw even the most unusual drawings on windows for the New Year.
New Year's windows: plots and compositions
New Year's drawings on the windows famous for their indescribable mood. A professional artist with the help of paints can create a real masterpiece on any window. What is most often depicted? Traditional New Year's stories:
- snowflakes
- Santa Claus with a bag of gifts
- glittering Christmas trees
- sleigh with reindeer harnessed to it
- christmas garlands
But it is not necessary to be limited only to the New Year theme. An excellent addition to traditional plots can be:
- various faces
- funny little men
- bears
- houses
- snow scenery
- Christmas trees
And of course, Christmas stories:
- angels
- candles
- present
- scenes from the bible
Required condition: New Year's drawings on the window should be light, even airy, cheerful and, of course, colored.
Samples and stencils
If you are not a professional artist, no problem. Now it is very easy to find a variety of templates for New Year's stories. Using them, it is easy to create a masterpiece on glass with your own hands.
Where to get stencils? The easiest way is to go and buy at the store. Stationery stores and supermarkets offer a large selection of templates for drawings on the windows to the New Year.
Please note: templates can be purchased separately or as part of a set of paints
But what if the required samples are not found? Then we make them ourselves.
Stencil manufacturing technology
For this you will need:
- a piece of thick paper and plastic
- scissors
- stationery knife
- tracing paper or transparent paper, or "carbon paper"
- pencil and eraser
- ruler and gauge
First of all, we find a sample, that is, a drawing. It can be "borrowed" from a book or magazine (any drawing or a special stencil), from the Internet, or draw it yourself. If you draw yourself, you can apply the composition directly to the drawing paper.
We apply tracing paper to the sample and redraw it. We cut out along the contour and apply it to the drawing paper, draw it. This stage can be bypassed if you use carbon paper and transfer the image directly to whatman paper.
We cut out the resulting drawing on whatman paper with the help of a clerical 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.
Preparing to draw on the window
Depending on how the drawings will be applied on glass for the New Year, you will need different tools. But be sure to get:
- brushes of various shapes and thicknesses
- toothbrush
- scrapers and sticks
- window cleaning cloth
- jar for water
And, of course, you need to stock up on stencils, imagination and patience.
Features of the window painting process
New Year's drawings on glass can be applied using:
- stained glass paints
- toothpaste
- gouache
There are also quite exotic ways. For example, a pattern is applied to the glass with PVA glue, then sparkles and tinsel are stuck on it. It turns out funny fluffy drawings. But we will consider the features of the process of applying paint and toothpaste.
Drawings on windows for the new year are easier to apply using stencils. You already stocked them up, right?
We apply the stencil to the glass and apply with a brush paint or toothpaste. We wait until the paint dries slightly, then with the help of sticks we prescribe the details and remove the excess. With the help of a thin brush, we bring the drawing to perfection.
To achieve the effect of splashing, we moisten the toothbrush with water with a small addition of paint. Then use your finger to splatter the paint in front of the glass.
Tip: To make the drawing on the glass dry faster, you can use a hair dryer.
But the hair dryer can only be used in the weakest mode and with a cold air flow.

To the entry "Drawings on the windows for the new year: colorful decorations with your own hands" 8 comments
We love painting windows with our daughter on New Year's Eve. For these purposes, I buy special stained glass paints, they come with several templates with different images, but basically, we come up with the drawings ourselves. It turns out very colorful. But we have never used toothpaste for painting on glass, a great idea, worth a try.
How well I read the article. Just wanted to paint the windows with the children for the New Year. It is a very good idea to paint them with toothpaste and gouache. I also really liked getting the splashing effect with a toothbrush. We ourselves would not have thought of this before. 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. As a child, I did this, but over time I forgot, and with the advent of my children, I had to come up with something. Purchased, of course, conveniently and quickly, but how interesting it is to make all the decorations with the children. The children were very proud that they did everything themselves, because the whole yard looks at our balcony and envy!
Very beautiful. I remember in the distant 90s, my sisters and I created similar magic on the windows. For this, gouache paints were used, the drawings were taken not from the head, but from the plots of New Year's cards. Thus, our windows acquired a fabulous look. They also decorated the doors, which were then painted dull white. Now there are a lot of means for jewelry!
This is one of the easiest and tastiest ways to decorate window glass. Small children can participate in the process - for them this activity will become a truly sweet magic.
Using a stencil, we apply an adhesive base to clean glass - honey or sugar syrup diluted in water. Then dust the base with powdered sugar. Let the patterns dry, remove the stencil and brush off the remaining powder with a brush.
Soap drawings
Not only decorate the windows, but also allow you to wash the glass.
On a fine grater you need to grate a piece of soap. Add warm water to the soap crumb. Beat the mixture with a mixer until a stable foam is obtained. Dip a sponge - and you can draw! And even easier - to draw patterns on the glass with the remnant itself.
artificial snow
The decor uses different types of artificial snow, but we will need the one that is sold in the form of a spray. Shake the can and... improvise! Light frost, stencil patterns - it can be anything.
Be careful: you should not save and buy the cheapest spray - it may turn out to be of poor quality, with a pungent odor.
Toothpaste is the tool of the Snow Queen
This is the classic way: who hasn't painted with toothpaste in the bathroom on the mirror as a child?
The effect of hoarfrost can be achieved by spraying the glass with paste from a spray bottle (or just splattering with a toothbrush). If you dilute it in water to a creamy consistency, you can paint glass with a hard brush.
Beer and Magnesia
Very beautiful and complex frosty patterns are obtained using beer and magnesia. The solution is prepared easily: for 100 gr. light beer need 50 gr. magnesia.
We apply patterns with a sponge, brush, cotton swab. As the liquid begins to evaporate, crystal patterns will appear on the glass. You can speed up the process by drying the drawing with a hairdryer.
conventional paints
Note: watercolor from glass is more difficult to wash off than gouache. The picture will be more contrast if you circle it around the contour with black paint. Glitter, beads and sequins can be applied to the paint.
Children's stained glass paints
Do not confuse them with professional ones, otherwise the drawing will remain on the glass forever.
Children's stained glass paints are not applied to glass, but to a special film, which is then glued to the window. Place the selected pattern under the film, circle it along the contour, then paint the inside. Do not spare paints so that there are no gaps on the film.
Finished stickers
You can stick on glass not only your stained glass drawings. If there is no time, at your service.
Paper stencils
Another hello from childhood. True, we used to improvise, but now you can find ready-made stencils for printing on the Internet.
Snowflakes made of white matte paper look good. Do not use glue, thick sugar syrup is better, it will wash off the windows faster.
Tulle and lace
And the last, most sophisticated way: we paste tulle or lace on the glass. It is best to choose a fabric with winter motifs, feathers, curls.
You need to prepare a solution: dilute two tablespoons of corn starch in two tablespoons of cold water. And add one and a half cups of hot water. If you use potato starch, the solution will turn gray, which will give the appropriate shade to our application.
Now we apply a piece of cloth to the glass. On top of the lace, apply the solution with a brush, paying special attention to the edges and corners. The paste hardens quickly, and the lace stays on the glass until you decide to wash it off with warm water.

When thinking over holiday decorations for educational and playrooms and choosing what to draw on the windows for the New Year of the Dog in a kindergarten or school, you should consider what age the children will be doing the task. Guys 3-5 will not cope with a complex image yet. For them, it is better to make a composition template on glass, and then offer to decorate with simple gouache paints.
Children 6-8 years old can already be entrusted with a more difficult task. They can easily master on their own to depict simple New Year's characters on the window like the Snowman, Santa Claus, hares or the Snow Maiden.

To create such an image, it is better to take colored paints so that the New Year's picture turns out to be brighter, richer and more colorful.

Variants of winter frosty patterns for decorating windows for the New Year
Frosty patterns made on glass with toothpaste are very attractive and look natural. In this way, you can decorate the window, creating a truly festive atmosphere in the room, even in the absence of snow on the street. It is enough to dilute the toothpaste with water to the consistency of thick sour cream, and for application use not a brush, but a hard toothbrush. Then the image will look exactly as nature would have created it.
If there is enough time and a great desire to turn the window into a luxurious winter picture, you should arm yourself with a thin brush and, dipping it in diluted toothpaste, draw New Year's patterns by hand. No stencils or templates are needed here. You can improvise for your own pleasure and create a unique, exclusive snow-white lace on glass.
To create a thematic pattern on glass, a piece of white cream soap will have to be grated on a fine grater, combined with half a glass of warm water and beat with a mixer until a strong, thick foam is formed. Then you can dip a brush or a foam rubber sponge into this mixture and create diverse New Year's patterns on the glass.
To work with artificial snow, you will definitely need stencils or patterns of snowflakes, patterns or New Year's characters. They will need to be glued to the glass, and then treated with a can of artificial snow around the surface. The image will turn out very gentle and will flicker beautifully both with the light on and in the dark.
To make the window decor look more original, you can depict on the glass not only falling snowflakes, Christmas trees or candles, but also figures of angels.

For children's institutions, fairy-tale compositions with such classic New Year characters as the Snowman, Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden and the Snow Queen are more suitable. In office or retail premises, congratulatory inscriptions, forest landscapes or lacy garlands of colored snowflakes, balls and other festive attributes look appropriate.
Photo examples of interesting New Year's drawings on the windows with stained glass paints
A beautiful, bright image of Santa Claus and a Snowman framed by snowdrifts and icicles is a good option for decorating windows in kindergarten or elementary school classes. The drawing is done together with the children, as it is rather conditional and does not have a large number of complex details. The teacher or one of the parents depicts the outline of the composition and figures, and the children take part in coloring their favorite holiday characters with pleasure.
For decorating the windows of elementary school classes, drawings are perfect not only for the Snowman and Santa Claus, but also for some forest dwellers, for example, fluffy hares. And as an addition, images of fir branches, New Year's toys and bells serve. They combine the entire composition into a single picture and make it more solid.
The traditional winter landscape looks nice on the windows. His children can easily do it themselves, without even resorting to the help of their parents. Templates and stencils are not needed for such work. It is enough to let the boys and girls show their imagination and draw on the glass what they want. And it doesn’t matter at all that the picture will turn out to be quite simple. The main thing is that it will have a bright personality and a reflection of the character of the child who has put a drop of his soul into the drawing.
Deer is another classic attribute of winter pictures. True, more often it is depicted on clothes and such an ornament is called Scandinavian. But it also looks quite appropriate on window panes, especially in the context of a winter forest landscape and an elegant Christmas tree.
If the window is small and does not allow, due to some circumstances, to place a large-scale composition on the glass, it is worth decorating the glass with a snowflake pattern. To do this, you will need a stencil of a suitable size, a sponge or a piece of foam rubber and white paint.
Despite the simplicity, the image will turn out to be very attractive and elegant and will delight the eyes of both the inhabitants of the apartment and the people passing by for a long time.
