There are two ways to create a joyful festive atmosphere in your home: visit a supermarket or New Year's fair to buy ready-made decor, or decorate the interior with window applications, paper toys and hand-made compositions. The most successful is considered a compromise option, in which factory-made garlands, candles and balls are complemented by unique handicraft garlands, toys and crafts.

Natural composition of dry branches

Used for making home crafts or painting on glass. various materials, which are easy to find in the bathroom or kitchen: toothpaste, pieces of soap, starch or flour for paste, tape. Toothpaste can be easily replaced with white gouache, but it has been used for a long time and willingly because of its suitable properties: even dried “Aquafresh” or “Silka” is easily washed off clean water Moreover, it has a light pleasant smell.

If you don't have real balls, you can always draw them

In addition to adhesives and coloring compounds, everything that can be found in children's corner, school table or in a box with New Year's accessories:

thick cardboard;
colored paper;
multi-colored foil;
bugles and beads;
beads and sequins;
old Christmas tree decorations;
pieces of fabric, yarn and leather;
wooden and metal parts;
tinsel;
chains, etc.

The choice of material depends on the craft. For example, wonderful window decorations for the New Year are made from plain white paper. These are primarily snowflakes, Christmas trees and themed origami toys. Thick cardboard is useful for making stencils or templates for drawings on glass, and strips of colored paper are useful for a fun garland chain that can be used to decorate a window opening.

Paper Christmas trees and stars - traditional New Year's figures on the window

Permanent home “helpers” are usually used as tools:

scissors;
stationery knife;
sewing needles (with a set of threads);
brushes of all sizes;
sponges;
toothbrushes;
wire cutters, etc.

Almost all of the listed tools and materials can be found at home, and if some are missing, they can be easily purchased at the store, spending a very modest amount.

How to decorate a window for the New Year

Usually they decorate more than one specific place in the apartment, but all or some rooms, so the decoration of windows for the New Year should be harmoniously combined with the decoration of the rest of the interior. This is expressed in the selection of identical shades, repeating motifs, patterns, and ornaments. Some people like the white and gold holiday color scheme, others like an abundance of red, and others like the combination of blue color with a silver tint. It’s better to start preparing when the main style has already been chosen and the palette has been determined.

Sometimes just white is enough

Paper decorations

If you have no experience in preparing for the holiday or don’t have enough free time, we offer the simplest and most advantageous option - decorating windows for the New Year from sheets of paper, white or colored. Even kids who have barely learned to hold scissors in their hands are happy to cut out snowflakes. Usually a simple but effective procurement scheme is used:

This is how you fold a sheet of paper to cut out a 6-sided snowflake.

You can come up with hundreds of beautiful openwork patterns by experimenting with trimming the edges of the workpiece. More experienced lovers of preparing for the New Year have their own “proprietary” schemes, and beginners can borrow for starters ready-made templates:

To cut a realistic snowflake, you need to try

Complex circuits but they're worth it

Original options for 8-, 6- and 4-gonal snowflakes

Having cut out a large number of snowflakes of different sizes and shapes, you can glue them to the glass using paste or soap solution in different ways:

In the form of a New Year tree and in a chaotic order

The paper is also suitable for making flat or volumetric compositions from the houses, winter trees, animals, fairy-tale characters.

Drawings using templates and stencils

To make the hard work of amateur decorators easier, they came up with templates and stencils. Ready-made New Year's themed kits can be purchased in a store or downloaded from the Internet, and then printed and printed on New Year Use to transfer images to windows.

Christmas scene on the night window

How are templates different from stencils? The templates are outlined, and then the drawing is painted or left in its original form. Stencils are usually used immediately for painting, although you can also trace along the inner contour.

Spray technique using a stencil

The photo instructions show a mirror, but to transfer it to window glass, the same steps are performed.

Cut out a snowflake from paper (outlines of a house, animal, tree).

Using soapy water, glue the snowflake onto the window. You can also use ordinary water, because after painting the stencil will have to be peeled off immediately.

We dilute the toothpaste with a small amount of water, but so that it does not drain, but remains slightly thick. Take a toothbrush and dip it in the prepared solution.

Use your finger to move the bristles of the brush and release it sharply so that the splashes purposefully fall in the area of the stencil. It looks beautiful when there are more splashes in the center, and they disperse along the edges.

Carefully peel off the paper stencil, being careful not to smear any splashes.

The result is a light New Year's image of a snowflake. To decorate a window with similar designs, you will need very little: half a tube of toothpaste, an old toothbrush and stencil paper.

When working with stencils, you can use a dishwashing sponge instead of a brush. We cut off a piece of soft foam rubber, roll it into a roll, and tie it with thread or tape to form a kind of “brush.” Then we blot the cutouts on the stencil.

Sponge technique

A few more fun stencils and templates for windows for the New Year:

Decorative pendants and garlands

It is customary to hang garlands everywhere: on the Christmas tree, on the walls, under the ceiling. They decorate houses outside, decorate trees in the garden and small architectural forms in the courtyard. This is also a suitable decoration for windows, because curtain rods are successfully used as an attachment point.

Garland of artificial greenery with pine cones and snowflakes suspended on threads

A garland can be made from anything, in fact it is various items, suspended on a thread or ribbon. Traditionally, light flags are strung on a thick thread or strong cord. christmas balls, stars, decorations made of beads or bugles. Children love to make lanterns or caps from colored paper and attach them to a string mixed with snowflakes and pieces of cotton wool to represent snow.

Luxurious natural composition against the background of homemade garlands

Instead of long garlands, you can use laconic but elegant decor - New Year's pendants made of Christmas decorations, tinsel and bugles.

DIY window sill decorations

To make the window truly beautiful for the New Year, according to tradition, not only the glass, but also the window sills are decorated. Fantasy lovers winter holiday knows no boundaries: along with the usual Christmas trees, Snow Maidens and Santa Clauses, natural compositions from branches and moss, romantic arrangements with candles, and snow-covered doll houses appear.

Remember the magical snow globe, inside of which, when you shake it slightly, real snow begins to fall? It’s difficult to make such a toy with your own hands, but we’ll look at how to decorate a windowsill for the New Year using ordinary glass jars. Behind the glass, like in that ball, is a small winter fairy world with houses, forest animals and fir trees.

New Year's gifts under tin lids

There are two options for designing compositions in jars:

at the bottom of a jar closed with a lid;
on the lid of an inverted jar.

Both options are equally popular, but the second - with an inverted jar - is more often used if the vessel is too deep and it is difficult to reach the bottom. Arranging items on the lid is much easier.

Figurines under a glass cover

Brief instructions for making crafts from inverted cans:

we find several glass jars of different sizes with screw-on lids;
lay the inverted lids upside down;
we place miniature figures of animals, snowmen, people, as well as Christmas trees, houses, etc. on the lids;
we tighten the jars, checking that the figures are the right size;
If the composition is successful, open the jars and glue the selected items.

Then we finally tighten the jars - original jewelry Ready for the windowsill for the New Year!

You can make beautiful candlesticks from the same glass jars. We paint the glass walls by hand with paints that do not emit harmful substances when heated, and we place small candles inside the vessels. We decorate the upper part with bells, mini-garlands, and tinsel.

Magic lamps for the windowsill

Candlesticks with cones

New Year in glasses

Unusual and at the same time natural compositions are obtained from natural materials: cones, coniferous branches and deciduous trees, moss, acorns, dry grass, driftwood, etc. They combine perfectly with artificial snow, serve as an excellent background for miniature figures of bullfinches, deer, hares, and bear cubs.

"Trees" from dry branches

You can build a snow-covered “tree” from dried branches and secure it in a jar or vase. To enliven the picture, we plant bullfinches, tits or woodpeckers on the branches. But since the tree is New Year’s, and therefore magical, anything you want can grow on it: gingerbread cookies and sugar gingerbread cookies, golden beads and small Christmas tree balls, key chains with photographs of relatives and just satin bows.

Just pine cones growing from little chocks

The composition can be made much brighter if glass vase replace it with a gilded bottle, and cover the branches along with the decorations hung on it with sparkles. The easiest option is to buy decorative hairspray, silver or gold, and carefully treat each branch.

Both golden balls and red berries look festive

When we decorate a window sill for the New Year with our own hands, we always try to add something personal and individual, so homemade compositions look warmer, homely and family-friendly.

Candles and illumination

Twinkling lights are an essential component of both a fun and mysterious winter holiday. Even simple white pictures on the windows for the New Year look different if they are illuminated with multi-colored garlands or candles. If the frame of a window made of Christmas tree or pine branches is enlivened with sparkling illumination, it will look much brighter and more positive.

The theme of lanterns-candlesticks is played out in an interesting way

To make candles look more status and solemn, they are placed in bronze or crystal candlesticks and decorated with tinsel, “rain” or beads. But there are many options when you can create a cozy and romantic atmosphere without pretentious candlesticks.

Options for installing candles on the windowsill

Electric garlands are the most spectacular New Year's entourage. Neon, white, multi-colored lights turn even the most boring environment into a festive one. Often, thin threads of electric garlands are used to decorate the New Year tree, and they are also hung along the walls or from the ceiling. They look no less advantageous as decoration for windows and window sills.

New Year's windows as part of interior design

When decorating a room for the New Year, you must adhere to the rule of proportionality. If you decide to decorate a chest of drawers, a window, a table in the center of the room, and even install a Christmas tree, then you need to do this extremely carefully. A large number of bright decorations turn the light festive atmosphere into a booth and quickly get boring. Sometimes a simple design of window glass is enough.

Snowflakes with toothpaste instead of frosty patterns

You can create an unobtrusive festive backdrop using identical shimmering electric garlands hung in different parts of the room.

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. I did this as a child, but over time I forgot and with the advent of my children I had to come up with something. Store-bought ones are of course convenient and quick, but how fun it is to make all the decorations yourself with your children. The children were very proud that they did everything themselves, because the whole yard looks at our balcony and is jealous!

Very beautiful. I remember back in the 90s, my sisters and I created similar magic on the windows.

1. Decorate the windows for the New Year. Decorate the window for the New Year

The simplest and most affordable thing is to decorate the windows with snowflakes cut out of paper. How to cut beautiful snowflakes from the paper you can read. Now we’ll tell you how to glue snowflakes to windows. To do this, you will only need regular soap (preferably simple baby soap). The moistened sponge needs to be thoroughly soaped and then coated with it on the snowflake. Now, if we place a snowflake with the soapy side on the glass, it will stick. It will be very easy to remove it later - just pull the edge a little, and it will fall off on its own. And traces of soap remaining on the glass will simply need to be washed off with water.

From snowflakes of different sizes you can create a whole New Year's composition on the window. Look at how the window was originally decorated for the New Year using an openwork Christmas tree made of snowflakes.

2. New Year's window. How to decorate a window for the New Year

Surely, many parents remember how they decorated windows for the New Year in childhood, painting them with regular toothpaste diluted with a small amount of water. It's time to teach this to your children. The website nika-po.livejournal.com describes two interesting ways how to paint windows for the New Year with toothpaste.

1st method.

A piece of foam rubber needs to be rolled up into a tube and secured with tape to create a convenient “poke”. Squeeze the toothpaste onto a saucer, dip our poke there and press it to the glass or mirror. We draw fir branches.

Using plastic stencils you can draw Christmas tree decorations. But you can do without stencils. That is, it doesn’t cost anything to make a Christmas ball stencil yourself. To do this, you just need to cut out a circle in a piece of cardboard.

When the paste dries slightly (only slightly!), use a wooden stick to draw the details. Using a thin brush and paste diluted with water, draw strings for the toys.

2nd method.

Another way to draw with toothpaste is to make negative images. And so... we make another beautiful New Year's window.

Cut out a snowflake from paper. After slightly moistening it with water, glue the snowflake onto the glass. Gently blot off excess liquid around the snowflake with a dry cloth. Now in some container you need to dilute a little toothpaste with water. To decorate a window for the New Year, you should use white toothpaste, without colored stripes.

And now let’s start decorating the New Year’s window in the so-called. "spray technique". Dip a toothbrush into the toothpaste and water and spray it onto the glass. The first splashes are too large (=ugly), so you need to shake them off somewhere, and only then splash them on the window.

Wait a little until it dries and peel off the snowflake.

What other ones are there? interesting ideas for decorating New Year's windows? For example, the website sonnenspiel.livejournal.com describes a way to make beautiful window stickers yourself from ordinary PVA glue. PVA glue is non-toxic, and this, you see, is a big plus. New Year's window stickers are transparent. Due to this, during the day they do not interfere with the view of the street, and in the evening they are beautifully illuminated by street lights and flicker “icy”. They are reusable: easy to remove and stick back. They don't peel off on their own.

In order to make New Year's window stickers with your own hands, you will need:

Stencils for drawing
- transparent files
- PVA glue
- syringe without needle
- tassel

The stencils should be placed in files and a thick layer of PVA glue should be outlined over the transparent film. The most convenient way to do this is by drawing glue into a syringe. Note: it is better to take designs for stencils without many small “internal” parts and rather large ones, since the glue spreads a little and you can get a solid transparent spot instead of an elegant pattern.

We put the drawings in a safe place to dry. After drying, the PVA glue becomes transparent and can be easily removed from the sheet. Now all that remains is to carefully paste the homemade stickers on the New Year's window. Note: it doesn’t matter if, when drawing, the picture is “blurred” in some place; after drying, it can be easily “corrected” with scissors - PVA is easily cut in a dried state. For the same reason, it’s not scary if the baby goes beyond the edges of the picture when coloring the sticker or smearing the glue - all the excess will be cut off.

New Year's window stickers can also be made using a glue gun or

purchased volumetric paints.
