How to choose a theme for paper decorations on windows?

Paper window decor for the New Year is not limited only to the simplest snowflakes.

One of the latest trends is whole Christmas and New Years and stories. For example, the tops of trees in a winter forest with flying reindeer and Santa’s sleighs.
Winter is a string of holidays, including Christmas, New Year and Old NG, St. Nicholas Day and Epiphany. One general theme or winter picture will do, such as a reindeer or a moon with stars..

New this year – a story stencil for windows.
Among fashion trends, a paper template on the window with the symbol of the year – Bull. Funny faces can be cut using ready-made templates.
The inscription “2021” can be done digitally or the numbers can be laid out with openwork snowflakes. Another option is to spray diluted toothpaste under the stencil (further explanation).
Any drawing is laid out from small snowflakes today. If there are no traditional curtains on the window in the kitchen or on the balcony, paper decor in the form of open curtains with hooks can replace them. The overall design of the glass can be complemented by any winter picture, the same symbol of the year or a house with a smoke.
A popular winter symbol is deer, which can be made in any form, even laid out with snowflakes. No less interesting is the “family plot”, where there is a mother with a fawn and a father with picturesque branchy antlers.

A little patience – and fabulous animals, snowmen and Santa Clauses will settle on your windows!
The traditional New Year and Christmas symbol is a herringbone. The vytynanka can be made in the traditional way, with a symmetrical pattern. Fashionable stencils 2021 – a winter fluffy beauty in the form of a cone of snowflakes, stars, balls, gifts, bows and other attributes, which are customary to decorate a Christmas tree in the house. For window plots, protrusions in the form of Christmas tree branches with balls and tinsel are also suitable.

Each window will become a real picture that you can look at for hours.
For Christmas, the theme of Angels is also widely applicable – with trumpets in long clothes with wings. Neutral plot – cones, candles, stars (4,5,6,8,12-sided) and bells.
The New Year’s list of symbols will be incomplete without Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Snowman with a scarf. But you can take Bunny, Squirrel, Chanterelle and other characters of “Mittens”.

There is a fantasy – cut out the heroes of the “Ice Age” and favorite children’s cartoons on a winter theme, the main thing is that they are recognizable and bring joy.

How to stick paper decor on windows?

Anyone who has tried to glue snowflakes on glass knows that it is not so easy – heavy stencils slide to dry.

Paper snowflakes pasted on the window.

If window decorations are sculpted with glue, then it is difficult to remove the remnants from the window, the remnants create a very untidy look. Thin paper sticks well when wet. But too thin stencils break when trying to move. Office paper is not so thin, it almost does not tear and molds well.

You can glue a cut-out figure or a whole composition on glass using laundry soap or paste made of flour and water.

If the cut out snowflake is rubbed on one side with a bar of wet soap and immediately applied to the glass, lightly pressing down with a dry soft towel – it will come out neatly.

This decor will last until spring, after which the openwork patterns are easy to remove and wash the glass..

If there is a desire to complement the window decorations with fragments from other materials, it is carefully applied with glue on top of paper fixed with soap. But it is better to do this in a day, when the paper with soapy water is completely dry. A more reliable option is to boil a liquid paste from flour or dilute wallpaper glue..

What paper decor can be used on windows?

The white paper patterns on the window pane are beautiful in themselves, especially against the backdrop of the city at night. But in some cases, winter scenes can be supplemented with decorations from additional materials..

For a beginner decorator, it is better to take simple ideas for decor..

TABLE

1.	Fine foil cuts	Depicts sparkling snow, “lights”, Christmas tree decorations on the decor
2.	Colored paper chips from old magazines	Suitable for creating colored blocks or delimiting individual blocks
3.	Remains of Christmas tree tinsel and “rain”	For mini-plots on the theme of Christmas tree decorations, “lights” and
4.	Foam crumb	Applicable in all snow scenes
5.	Torn toilet paper	Depicts falling snow well in plot pictures, fills in gaps
6.	Fragments of cellophane and thin plastic	To add volume to flat subject pictures for window decorations
7.	Small pieces of cotton wool	“Snowy” version, looks good on paper drawings with branches and balls
eight.	Chopped yarn	For the “clothes” of the characters
nine.	Colored paper	For Christmas tree decorations, eyes of characters.

All the elements listed in the table can be used for volumetric, color and iridescent pictures on glass. We remind you that they are previously applied to a paper base, it is desirable that it dries well.

Fine cuts can be typed and applied with a dry brush on the base smeared with glue or sprayed by blowing from the palm.

Window garlands of volumetric snowflakes and stencils

If you don’t really like the idea of paper on glass at home, use hanging garlands and winter decor in the form of thread curtains..

If for some reason the idea of sticking the protruding holes on the windows does not work, you can decorate the window openings with all kinds of garlands..

Suitable as a basis:

Thick thread # 10 or # 20 (not sewing # 40, it breaks);
Thick line;
Nylon thread;
Strong synthetic yarn in white or blue.

On the selected base, you can string small paper stencils and small pieces of cotton wool to fix them so that they do not slip. Threads with pictures, hung instead of curtains (or in the center), will rotate with streams of warm air from heating radiators.

Such window decorations create a special “fabulous” atmosphere.

This option is not suitable for those who have cats – they really like light “wiggling” garlands by the window. From such a decor, only shreds will soon remain. If animals and children do not show a desire to cut off the “magic strings”, you can use such a winter decor on the windows. The elements are simply pierced in 2-3 places with a needle and a strong thread, after each image they pick up a little cotton wool or tie a knot (you can get confused).

First you need to roll a large number of cotton balls, and then string them on the fishing line, leaving a small gap between each small gap and a knot.

Suitable stencils 2021 are suitable as a winter decor:

Goby;
Deer;
Snowmen;
Asterisks;
Snowflakes;
Bows;
Cones;
Christmas trees;
Bells;
Openwork 6-sided.

You can make paper decorations for windows with your own hands and involve the whole family in this exciting process..

Alternatively, the same elements can be used to decorate the Christmas tree and hanging garland. The same pattern is suitable for different rooms – window decorations glued to the glass or the decor of a feast. Today, many people use a Christmas wreath or ikebana with tree branches – economically and environmentally friendly.

The lights in the spruce branches look very romantic and festive..

For those who have mastered volumetric snowflakes or spherical polyhedrons, interior designers recommend placing windows from the form of a pendant decor. Such snowflakes are heavy, so they are placed one by one on a thread or fishing line, lining up or a chaotic pattern by the window.

Stencil drawings from toothpaste spraying

Paper decorations on windows for the New Year can be replaced with stencils, which are temporarily applied to spray a white base. You can find leftover toothpaste or a box of old tooth powder at everyone’s home. Their advantage over gouache and watercolor paint is that they do not roll off on glass..

With a thick paste on this basis, you can even paint “frosty patterns” and falling snow.

To make stencil decorations on glass, thick paper is used only at the beginning, it is removed after spraying. You will need several multifaceted paper snowflakes with large-mesh patterns. They are alternately slightly moistened and applied to the glass. To apply white “pollen” white toothpaste is diluted (you can add a little blue or blue gouache).

An old or unnecessary toothbrush is dipped into this paste and sprinkled with pile along the edges of the snowflake and in the groove of the pattern in the middle.

Then we remove the paper stencil, leaving the phantom window decorations in the form of a light white dusting. At the end of the winter festive extravaganza, they can be easily washed off the windows..

All family members can participate in the manufacture of snowflakes and vytynanka for any winter plot, especially schoolchildren like it. Connect everyone to a fascinating applique – one or two evenings, and paper window decorations for the New Year will be ready. Use your own imagination and our professionally designed stencils.
