New Year is a fabulous holiday that each of us looks forward to. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance. To create a New Year's mood in your home, use different secrets: they decorate the Christmas tree, decorate the walls and windows with multi-colored garlands, hang fancy “Chinese” lanterns, etc. The windows are also not neglected: more and more often in houses shining with multi-colored lights you can see stunning designs on the windows for the New Year!
The idea of decorating windows for the New Year originated in ancient times. 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 decorations 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 painting images on 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 multi-colored ribbons and toys. The beloved tradition took hold during the Soviet period: our grandparents decorated the windows with paper snowflakes, homemade fabric compositions, and painted with toothpaste on the glass.
Nowadays, “New Year’s” traditions have not changed, but have been supplemented with new ways of decoration. Today, to decorate windows for the New Year, you can:
- purchase special paint for painting on glass, which is easily washed off after the festivities;
- buy thematic templates/stencils or download them for free from the Internet;
- use original stickers and New Year's toys etc.
Paper window decorations
This is the most optimal method of decorating for the New Year: affordable and economical, but most importantly – as creative as possible and loved by children. The main thing is consistent adherence to the instructions. Popular solutions include: unique stencils, fancy garlands and, of course, nostalgic snowflakes!
Stencils
You can make cardboard or paper stencils yourself, buy them at your local gift shop, or find them online. These new year elements will become great 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 outline.
The finished paper image can be:
- hang on a string in front of the window: you can tie the decoration to a curtain or curtain;
- stick to glass: use ordinary soapy water (there are fewer problems with subsequent peeling off);
- attach the stencil to the window and trace it with soap: then you can color the resulting image with paint or the same soap.
Fairy lights
Kids just love making these colorful snakes! However, it is best for parents to supervise the manufacturing technique. You will need:
- different colored paper;
- scissors;
- ruler;
- pencil.
The simplest technique. It is necessary to cut 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 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 have a whole warehouse of snowflakes - unusual shapes and attractive patterns.
Painting the windows
A unique design on a 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, and the room will become much warmer and more comfortable.

- PVA glue: used as a complementary agent. Apply the contours of the design to the glass using glue and stick glitter and tinsel on it. The result is an unusually fluffy composition.
To decorate your home for the New Year, a variety of thematic designs and scenes are used. Most often depicted:
- weightless snowflakes in white colors;
- Snow Maiden and Father Frost;
- 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 just the New Year theme. An effective 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 scenes:
- angels;
- candles;
- gift packaging;
- biblical theme.
Tip: Create New Year's drawings on windows in an “airy” and light format: do not overload the window with monochromatic colors. The exception is snowy landscapes - white with the addition of one bright accent is appropriate here.
Necessary materials
- brushes of various shapes;
- scissors/stationery knife;
- brush for cleaning teeth;
- sticks and scrapers;
- fabric (for washing);
- jar for water.

2. Cut out the composition along the contour. Attach the stencil to the window using soapy water
3. Trace the template with paint or paste. Wait until the paint dries and remove the stencil. 
4. Draw the details with thin sticks and a brush, erase all excess.
