New Year is a family celebration, a holiday that gathers all relatives and friends.
It is also a time of bright hopes, anticipation of gifts and, most importantly, fairy tales. After all, all of us in childhood were told about the good Santa Claus, who would bring long-awaited gifts.
Therefore, it is not surprising that during the New Year's decoration of their home, many people want not only to create a festive theme, but to return, albeit not for long, to the very fairy tale that they have loved so much since childhood.
Of course, for home decor, you can find many different items in the store, such as stickers, garlands and figurines, including whole sets with ready-made stories.
But today the fashion for New Year's decoration of the house is returning again with hand-made items and with the help of the simplest and most affordable means.
In addition to the fact that the room can be decorated with the use of figurines, stickers and Christmas tree decorations, a method such as New Year's window painting is now gaining great popularity.
A distinctive feature of this decor is that all the images on the glass are exclusively drawn, and even with their own hands.
Naturally, such a process will take a lot of time, but on the other hand, it allows you to create a truly original entourage that will even better enhance the pre-holiday mood than just paper snowflakes pasted on the window.
Drawings on the window with toothpaste, 2 ways
In stores you can find special sprays for coloring glass.
But much more interesting, and at the same time economical, is the use of improvised means, such as soap or toothpaste. Some people even remember, since their childhood, how they decorated windows with such “paints”. Now it's time to teach this to your children.
- If we talk about soap, then everything is simple here: you need to take white or laundry soap that does not have dyes, and just drive it over the glass, drawing the necessary patterns on the glass.
- As for toothpaste, it allows you to carry out two types of painting - ornamental and negative, that is, one where bright places turn out to be dark, and dark ones, on the contrary, are light, like on photographic film.
ornamental painting
If you have imagination and at least the slightest skills in drawing, then you can create patterns on the window with toothpaste manually.
To do this, you need to make an impromptu brush. It is made with a stick, on one end of which a piece of sponge or foam rubber of the desired size is wound.
But if there is no stick, then you can simply twist the foam rubber into a tube and wrap it with tape. To create more complex images, it is recommended to prepare several brushes of different sizes in advance.
Now you need to squeeze the paste into a saucer suitable for work, perhaps for convenience it is worth adding a little water to the paste, but first you need to try to draw something with undiluted paste. By the way, it is also convenient because it is easily wiped off the glass surface with a slightly damp sponge.
So, when the paste of the desired consistency is ready, we get to work. An impromptu brush should be dipped in a saucer and, applying to the glass, draw a base consisting of lines, circles, triangles and other shapes that will be combined into common objects.
For example, sinuous thick lines can turn into fir branches, circles into snowmen or balls on branches, triangles into small Christmas trees, and squares into houses. The main thing is to initially understand the whole composition that will be drawn.
And you can also turn all the windows in different rooms into one single composition, where some story will be told in parts.
Now that the base is ready and the paste has dried a little, but not completely dry, take a thin stick of wood or plastic and start drawing out the details by creating contour lines, applying thin scratches on the base of the paste. Thus, the snowman will have eyes and a mouth, the house will have a window and a door, and needles will be visible at the spruce branch.
If the drawing skills are not very good, then you can use various stencils made of plastic, cardboard and just paper for the composition. There are many different samples in stores, they can also be found on the Internet, printed on paper, redrawn on cardboard and cut out the necessary pattern along the contour.
negative painting
Unlike the first option, you can’t do without a stencil here. But on the other hand, such a drawing can be made by a person even with a lack of drawing abilities.
Negative painting is when light objects are depicted as dark, and the background, which should be dark, on the contrary turns into light, which allows you to create the impression of a frosted window with incredibly beautiful frosty patterns.
You can take simple stencils on the Internet for this, since there should not be too many drawings on the window. It will be enough to have a snowflake on the window made of toothpaste, a Christmas tree, a crescent moon with stars or a bell with a bow.
First, the sample needs to be printed and cut out. Now wet the resulting template with water a little, shake off all the drops so that there are no drips on the surface, and gently stick to the glass.
Excess moisture, carefully, so as not to damage the paper, wipe with a dry cloth.
After the template is ready, dilute the toothpaste in a plate and start drawing.
There are two ways to do this:
- A regular sponge is used as a brush. It must be dipped into the paste, then shaken off or blotted to get rid of excess liquid, and with slow movements, without pressing the sponge strongly against the surface, apply the paste to the glass.
- Drawings on the window with toothpaste splashes - carried out using a regular toothbrush. After soaking it in the paste, shake off the first splashes somewhere to the side, as they turn out to be too large and ugly. After that, running your finger over the brush, evenly cover the window with small splashes.
When the entire planned area is covered, you can remove the stencil, and the frosty pattern on the glass with toothpaste is ready!
Video on how to draw on the window with toothpaste
Home decoration is always nice. Everyone's favorite winter holiday is approaching. On the eve of the New Year, mass preparations begin. Many housewives do crafts with their children at home, and they also conduct special labor lessons in educational institutions. They teach children how to draw snowflakes on a window from toothpaste or how to glue a beautiful garland of such elements.
Toothpaste window snowflakes are by far the most popular Christmas decorations. There is nothing easier than giving windows a festive look in this way. To recreate the snow pattern, first you need to choose a beautiful pattern of the element itself.
Almost every house today has plastic windows that prevent real frosts from depicting skilful masterpieces of winter weather. In other words, on plastic windows you can no longer find the patterns that could be seen on the windows before. After all, painted masterpieces simply fascinated with their appearance quite recently, and now it is possible to realize the reverse painting only with the help of one's own strength.
Of course, it may not be possible to draw like this, but decorating the windows is no worse, it’s definitely up to everyone. Moreover, even the smallest members of the family can cope with such a task. Ordinary toothpaste, which is always at hand, will help decorate the house. Moreover, you can depict not only snowflakes, but any desired patterns and images. Not infrequently, fabulous characters or animals are painted on glass, for example, the symbol of the year and so on.
What you need for work:
- deep water tank;
- Toothbrush;
- toothpaste;
- water.
1. Beautiful openwork silhouettes of snowflakes should be cut out, then the pattern on the window will look much more attractive.
2. When working, small splashing droplets always remain around the element, which will give the pattern only originality, so you should not place such decorations on windows very close to each other.
3. When working, try to shake off the brush as much as possible, otherwise large drops will splatter, which in the end can ruin the whole picture as a whole.
4. When an image is superimposed, unwanted places are often dirty, so they can be covered with newspaper or other material during work.
5. You should not fill the entire window space with a huge number of snowflakes, because it will not look very original. It would be better if such a composition is placed in the corner of the window. Or make a drawing, shifting it a little to the side, and let it contain several snowflakes that overlap each other a little.
drawing
The selected openwork snowflake is glued to the window, leveled well and pulled smoothly. Then prepare a solution for applying a pattern. Moreover, you can draw anything on the window with toothpaste.
Spray method
To do this, pour a little warm water into a deep container and add toothpaste there. After that, you need to dip a toothbrush in this composition, shake off excess water and use your thumb to run along the bristles while pointing the brush at the snowflake pasted on the window.
Small splashes will settle next to the snowflake stencil, but this is not scary, but on the contrary it will turn out more beautiful. You just need to make sure that the spray does not fly in large drops, because then the drawing can be smeared.
As a result, after the final work, the snowflake stencil is carefully removed, and a beautiful pattern is obtained that will resemble a kind of spraying. For those people who do not know this application option, it will not immediately occur to them that ordinary toothpaste is on the windows.
You can also decorate the windows for the New Year with colored snowflakes, which look simply gorgeous. To do this, many people use colored toothpaste, but it is not always possible to choose the right shade, so you have to resort to using watercolors.
The basis of the composition will be toothpaste, but it is necessary to add paint of the desired color to it with water. This is done in this way, the paste is squeezed into a suitable deep container of a small size. After that, with the help of water and a brush, the watercolor paint of the desired color is urinated and mixed with the paste, and then the whole composition can be brought to the desired consistency. After all, the paste from the brush should be sprayed, so the composition should not be a thick consistency.
Coloring method
Many people know how to draw with toothpaste without a toothbrush. In this case, the drawings are no worse. To do this, you need to pick up watercolor paints, a blank sheet of paper, an openwork snowflake template, preferably a black marker, because then the contours of the application are clearly visible. It is better to pick up brushes one thick and the other thin and a container for water.
After all the auxiliary material is ready, you can get to work. Take the selected template and apply to the window. Outline all the contours of the snowflake with a black marker. After that, the template is removed, and the drawn element remains. When coloring, many “artists” smear the marker with paints, and some leave it for contrast, so here everyone decides for himself what he wants to see.
After a beautiful snowflake is applied to the window, they begin to decorate it, for example, circling all the lines in blue several times. This is done quickly, the paint also dries almost immediately.
Getting started, first squeeze a little toothpaste onto a sheet of clean paper (you shouldn’t take a lot, if you need more later, you can always add). Then a thick brush is dipped in water and well smeared in blue paint. After that, they are transferred to the squeezed out paste and thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous consistency is created, achieving the desired color. After that, they paint with exactly the created composition as watercolor paint.
It turned out to be a bright blue snowflake. Further, after the paint has dried, they take a thin brush and circle the edges with a darker color to highlight the surface contours, so it turns out more beautiful. You can also resort to additional accessories. For example, apply not a dark tone along the edges, but apply sparkles with a brush, but this is already painstaking work for an amateur.
Undoubtedly, it all depends on the imagination of the person himself. Someone likes to create real New Year's masterpieces. Some without templates draw beautifully on their own, possessing truly artistic skills. Those who find it difficult to draw on their own use templates and popular ideas. After all, snowflakes on the window are a delightful Christmas decoration that remains and will always remain in fashion.

New Year's painting with toothpaste
For many years, window glass has been painted with tooth powder diluted with water. With a brush, they draw a Christmas tree, a snowflake, Santa Claus, a Snow Maiden or some kind of winter motif on the glass; it looks pretty and elegant.
In this picture, the snowflakes are cut out and glued with pieces of tape.
Decorations created using stencils and templates
For those who find it difficult to draw, there are stencils and templates for sale. New Year's drawings made on window panes, with the help of templates, often have some plot. You can choose your own templates and create your own picture on the glass.
Wonderful New Year's drawings, using templates, even children can create on the windows, while experiencing great pleasure and pride.
Poke way to create drawings
For the poke method of creating a window decoration for the New Year, a piece of foam rubber is required, which is folded into a tube and rigidly fastened. This can be done with tape or duct tape, and get a “poke”, a handy little thing for applying paint. Nowadays, tooth powder is very rare on sale, so now toothpaste is used to decorate window panes.
It is squeezed out onto a saucer and dipped into the poking paste, then the paint is applied to the stencil on the glass or mirror with a poking motion. Stencils will serve you well when decorating large windows in offices and small mirrors.
Poke can depict spruce branches. With a poke, wide lines of future branches are applied, and then remove the paint with a wooden stick, making strokes depicting needles in the drawing or the required contours and outlines of the figures.
Drawing details is done after the paste dries a little. With the same stick, white strings are painted on, on which the painted toys are suspended.
Making snowflake negatives on glass
You can create snowflake negatives with toothpaste. A large-sized cut out snowflake is applied to the glass, it can be glued with tape or water, but so that the snowflake fits snugly against the surface. After that, a toothbrush is dipped into the paste diluted with water and a finger is drawn along the bristles to get a spray. This method of applying paint is called the “spray technique”.
After spraying, wait until the paste dries and carefully remove the snowflake. A snowflake should be chosen with a large pattern, since a small pattern due to splashes will not work with clear outlines.
Snowflake obtained by “spraying technique” At a time when many things in our lives were not yet commonplace, people with artistic abilities to decorate windows took a flat bar of soap similar to tailor's chalk and simply drew their patterns on glass for the New Year.
The craftsmanship of this woman is admirable. Such drawings require the confident hand of the master.
Decorations made from Christmas toys
Those who are unsure of their artistic abilities have the opportunity to decorate window openings by hanging Christmas tree decorations, colored balls or hearts sewn with their own hands on New Year's Eve on colored ribbons. The decoration will turn out bright, cheerful and joyful.
