On New Year's Eve, it's time to decorate your home to create a special festive atmosphere. Previously, snowflakes cut from white thin paper were glued to windows, but now it has become incredibly fashionable to cut out pictures and figures using the “pull-out” technique.
This kind of creativity is based on templates cut out of paper or cardboard. Whatman paper is also quite suitable for these purposes. Such decorations look very beautiful!
To carefully and accurately draw and then cut out the templates, you will need the following tools:
- A4 paper;
- simple pencil;
- ruler;
- eraser;
- a special mat (an ordinary cutting board will do);
- a special paper knife (a simple stationery knife will also do);
- thin nail scissors.
It is best to print the drawings using a printer. If you don’t have such a unit at hand, you can easily redraw the template you like using a computer. Simply enlarge the drawing to the desired size using the Ctrl button and scrolling the mouse, then place a sheet of white paper on the screen and trace the outline with a pencil. After this, place the sheet on the table and aim more clearly. The template is ready! All that remains is to cut out this miracle and stick it on the window with soapy water.
Stencils for windows: Father Frost and Snow Maiden
With small figures of his granddaughter, the Snow Maiden, you can decorate a window or make a wonderful composition on a windowsill or table. If you make the template larger, it is quite possible to decorate the walls.
Stencils for the New Year: Funny snowmen
Adorable snowmen are a must to decorate every New Year's home. It is very easy to cut out figurines of good-natured snowmen symmetrically, or you can make entire families of snowmen using templates and a stationery knife. A composition with a Christmas tree, a snowman and Santa Claus will also look beneficial on the window.
New Year's stencils: Christmas tree and nature
The Christmas tree can be cut out and pasted on the window as a silhouette, or you can make a symmetrical volumetric cutout and put our Christmas tree. To make a standing Christmas tree, you can glue two identical Christmas tree templates onto a round paper stand or fold each Christmas tree in half and glue them together.
Stencils for windows: Christmas tree decorations and balls
Christmas tree decorations can be easily cut out according to an individual template or in a symmetrical pattern. A similar decoration is used to complement the composition on the window, hang it on the New Year tree, or attach it with threads to a curtain or chandelier.
New Year's paper stencils: Snow-covered houses
Nothing will look as cozy and cute as a snow-covered house in a New Year's picture on your window. You can cut out a small hut or an ice palace, or you can place a whole village of small houses on the window. If you symmetrically cut out the silhouette of a city or village from thick paper or cardboard, and put a garland inside, you will get a magnificent backlit composition.
Stencils for the New Year: New Year's bells
With the help of wonderful stencils and templates you can cut out beautiful bells. Carved New Year or Christmas bells can be glued to the window as a cute addition to the composition of the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, Christmas tree and snowy houses. You can also glue translucent paper (such as tracing paper) to the bell template. This bell can be used with a backlight effect.
Window stencils: Sleigh, cart, deer
Another New Year's fairy tale character is a deer. A team of reindeer delivers Father Frost and Snow Maiden to the appointed place. We present to your attention excellent templates for cutting out sleighs and deer. Such drawings will look great on the holiday windows of your home.

Greetings, my wonderful ones! And in such an upbeat spirit, I invite you to continue decorating our home with your own hands. Let me remind you that earlier you and I made from different materials, including from, crafted and, sewed and created our own special one. But the collection of ideas for the New Year is simply inexhaustible! That's why our next step is window decoration. And we will do this with the help of stencils and protrusions.
To do this, you will need paper, a stationery knife and a backing so as not to spoil the surface of the table.
You may be wondering what to glue this beauty to. So, at home we fixed it with toothpaste. I think this is the most convenient option because it washes off easily. However, our friends glued snowflakes to the window using PVA glue. Of course, it holds up well, but it is difficult to wash off. I think that you simply need to know this. Also glued to paste. It cleans well from glass, but there is a lot of hassle with it - you need to cook it first. In general, choose for yourself.
So, what are the vytynanki that I mentioned just above. Briefly and without going into history, this is a picture cut out of paper. They can be quite simple, or they can be very delicate. Of course, this depends on the skill of the performer. We will not consider very complex options, because for the most part, this will be done by mothers with children. This means it should be simple, beautiful and fast.
So, the whole point of this decoration is shown in the picture: choose a stencil, cut along the lines and stick the picture on the window.
Important! The knife or stack must be very sharp! Therefore, stick to the rule: the mother cuts out the picture, and the child sticks it on the window.
Even before I give you just a huge number of pictures, I want to clarify one point. Namely, how to get the stencil itself.
- Method 1: download the picture and print it on a printer. Downloading occurs when you right-click and select the “Save picture as” function.
- Method 2: take a screenshot of the screen using the PrtSc key and save the image to your desktop. Then open a graphics editor (for example, Paint) and edit the picture there. All that remains is to print it out.
- Method 3 is not always correct, but it turns out that they also use it. Place a blank sheet of paper on the screen and trace the picture. It is important to do this without pressing on the screen so as not to damage the surface.
- Method 4: attach the diagram to the glass and draw the lines with gouache.
Now let's watch a detailed video so that you succeed the first time.
So, you are definitely ready, it’s time to move on to ideas.
Take a closer look at what beautiful images there are of winter, houses, landscapes. The lights look very beautiful at the very base of the horizontal frame.
So, we considered the biggest options. Of course, they are all winter themed.
Templates for windows in the form of snowflakes that you can download
We cannot imagine winter without snowflakes. And in childhood we immediately and forever became convinced that they were all different. There is no beauty like another. Therefore, in this section there are many interesting schemes and templates for you.
You can cut out one thing for each and you will get all different window decorations.
There are very simple ideas and the pictures can be easily cut with scissors. They are suitable for beginners.
And there are even more complicated options. When, you don’t mind the time to get such a beauty.
As you can see, there are many templates. I suggest cutting out snowflakes from colored self-adhesive paper. It’s bright and sticks well to glass.
If you haven’t found such paper, then just color the snowflake in the colors of winter and holiday: blue, light blue, silver and gold.
DIY paper window vytynankas, New Year's symbols
Of course, any holiday has its own symbolism. New Year is no exception. Let's look at what we associate it with.
For some reason I want to start with deer. These graceful and hardy animals bring Grandfather Frost to us with gifts from Veliky Ustyug itself. Can you imagine what kind of heroes they are, who fly around the whole world in a couple of hours?
Here I share with you the whole composition.
Here, this handsome man is bringing us Santa Claus. They are in a hurry, because the children of Europe are already waiting for them.
This Bambi is simply impossible to ignore.
Next, let's look at snowmen. They also come in different styles, colors and sizes.
Not necessarily, he can be alone. It will be useful for small children to know that he has a family: mom and dad.
Snowmen are often found in Soviet winter fairy tales. Remember about the postman?
Modern kids might be more into Olaf from Frozen.
Of course, we won’t ignore the Christmas tree!
The Christmas tree made from circles is very unusual!
And here is a beauty from the stars.

How to decorate windows for the New Year: beautiful templates and patterns
Simply cutting out a picture using a stencil is not quite enough. You also need to create a composition on the window so that it looks connected and beautiful. Therefore, I give ideas for the placement of stencils. I will immediately attach templates and diagrams to some of them.
Here's an idea for a snowy fairy tale about the inquisitive Umka.
The patterns here are interesting. For example, such a bear has been knocking on the door since winter.
For this composition, you will find diagrams in the article. There is such a Christmas tree and a grandfather. It was just an interesting use of vertical.

Remember the Wolf from “Well, wait a minute!” Here they are with the bunny.

Vytynanki in the form of piglets (Pig) - symbol of the New Year 2019
Now let's move on to the symbol of this year - the Pig. Her image definitely needs to be placed on at least one window.
There are ideas with numbers and letters. There are just beautiful piglets.
Let's look at ideas with numbers first.
At the same time, a couple of diagrams with inscriptions.
And now just silhouettes of cute Piggies.
Piglet also fits the theme very well.
Greetings, friends! Today we again continue the theme of creating a New Year's atmosphere by cutting out handmade items from paper. That is, we will talk about again.
In this post you can find silhouettes of fairy-tale characters, the main characters of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, snowmen, deer, balls, snowflakes and much more. You will see ready-made window design options, and you will also be able to download and print the proposed stencils and templates. And then carefully cut them out and stick them on the windows, or decorate other corners of your interior.
But remember that window decoration is an integral part of the magical New Year holiday. You can decorate only glass with paper protrusions, or you can create an entire composition using a window sill. Use large clippings to decorate walls in rooms.
If you have very little time to create a festive interior, then cut a lot of carved ones and paste them all over the house.
So, in order to make the windows festive, use plain paper, preferably not only white, but also other colors. Also stock up on sharp thin scissors, or better yet, a sharp stationery knife, and materials for sticking decorations (toothpaste, double-sided tape, soap solution).
After you have prepared all the necessary tools and materials, you will need to choose paper decorations. In our case, these will be flat accessories for gluing to the glass surface, since there are also volumetric elements.
The size, shape and color of the products will depend on the area of the room, the level of illumination and the size of the window itself. The main thing is that the decorations do not interfere with the free passage of light into the room, and the rest depends only on your imagination.
After determining the plot for the New Year's window, start creating stencils. If you know how to draw well, then you can come up with templates yourself, but if you have limited artistic skills and imagination, then take ready-made patterns, print them on paper, and then start cutting them out.
This traditional paper decor will not take much time and will not require special skills, but it will help you create a real pattern and will impress not only you, but also those around you.
An abundance of accessories is only appropriate on a large window, so don’t overdo it! And try to choose openwork decorations.
After cutting out the decorations, decide on their placement on the glass. You can use symmetrical, central or asymmetrical placement.
Well, then choose a method for attaching the decorations and, in fact, glue them. This is how you can decorate a window quickly and easily.
Now I suggest watching a video about how to correctly cut out accessories for decoration.
Well, and samples of New Year's window design.
Window decorations for the New Year 2019 (templates inside)
Well, let's get down to choosing and creating flat paper toys. To begin with, the most popular characters are Father Frost and Snow Maiden.
Of course, don’t forget about funny snowmen.
You may also need an image.
And don’t leave your loved ones aside.
Even from these elements you can already create a fairy tale on the window.
Jewelry stencils for cutting out in A4 format: can be downloaded and printed
I want to say that many flat accessories can be cut not only according to a template, but also according to a symmetrical pattern. This, for example, applies to Christmas tree decorations.
Another great idea would be backlit cutouts. Just glue translucent paper, such as tracing paper, to the inside and carefully pull a small garland (one of the lights) through it. It will look something like this:
So keep a bunch of different stencils with balls, bells, cones, numbers, animals, etc.
Don't forget about the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2019 - mischievous pigs.
DIY window decorations for the New Year in kindergarten and school
And I would like to make a separate thematic selection of paper decorations for educational institutions. After all, our children rejoice most of all at the coming of the holiday. So schools and kindergartens should not only organize matinees, but also magically decorate the premises.
Dear friends, today I continue the theme of decorating windows for the New Year. I will share with you the stencils that I especially like. I'll tell you how to make New Year's drawings on windows using them. Let's talk about whether it is possible to change the dimensions of a template in Word and Excel and what to do if you don’t have a printer at home, but you need to transfer the image to paper.
And, of course, we’ll look at the most painstaking work - cutting. Its result directly affects the beauty of the New Year's window. Well, let's understand all the intricacies of New Year's paper drawings, which are also called vytynankas.
Stencils of New Year's drawings for paper windows
How do you like this winter fairy tale made from plain paper? The result is a wonderful composition. As you can see, it consists of several stencils: a forest clearing, deer, snowflakes, the moon and other little things.
I really like this New Year’s scene on the window, it’s simply mesmerizing.
And another stencil of the New Year's city.
If you make Santa Claus like this on a paper window, although he looks more like Santa Claus, it will be fun.
Here is another stencil of the main wizard of the New Year.

You can decorate the window with a New Year tree and a sleigh with gifts. Look how wonderful they are.
These patterns of festive balls, icicles and bells will look very elegant and gentle on the window.

New Year's stencils for windows made of paper
How to print
After you have decided on a template for a New Year's drawing, beginners may have a question: “How to print a New Year's stencil and how to make it larger if it turns out to be small.”
There's nothing complicated about it. I will offer you three options, and you give preference to the one that is convenient and easier for you.
Working in Word
In order to start working in Word, save the template you have chosen to your computer. Then open Word. Next, click “Insert” and “Drawing”. A window will appear in which you need to select your template.
As you can see, the drawing is small, it will be barely noticeable on the window. In Word you can stretch it to the size of a sheet. To do this, point the arrow at the picture and press the left mouse button. A frame will appear around it. By stretching it, the picture enlarges.
If the lines of your drawing come out pale, you can strengthen them. Again, move the arrow to the picture, press the left mouse button and when the frame appears, at the very top of the screen you will see the inscription “Format”. Click on it. We look for the word “Correction” in the same panel and click. A drop-down menu will open. In the “Sharpness Adjustment” section, select your template with an increase of 50%.
I've made the page smaller so you can see how I managed to stretch the image across the entire page.
Working in Excel
If you want to get a much larger picture, then you won't be able to do it without Excel. Let's go to this program. Just like in Word, click “Insert” and “Drawing”. In the window that appears, look for your template.
Move the arrow to the picture and click on the left mouse button. A frame will appear, with which you need to stretch the picture. In Excel, this can be done to very large scales, both downwards and to the side, only then the drawing will consist of several parts. The program itself will separate the drawing for printing. I got 8 sheets.
Translating the stencil using paper and pencil
If you don't have a printer at home, use the third method. By the way, it can be applied after working in Word and Excel, when the picture is enlarged.
We take any template that you like.
Point the arrow at the picture and press the right mouse button. A list appears from which you need to select “Open image”.
The image will open in a separate window. It will be small, but you can make it full screen. To do this, hold down the Ctrl button, and without releasing it, press “+” again until the picture fills the entire screen.
After this, take a blank sheet of paper and apply it to the screen. We arm ourselves with a pencil and redraw the picture. With the backlight from the monitor this will be easy to do.
How to cut paper stencils for windows
To cut out a stencil, you will need small scissors, a knife and some kind of wooden or plastic board so that the table does not get damaged while working with a sharp tool. The ideal knife for this is a wallpaper knife. It can be bought at any hardware store.
We cut out the main design with small scissors, but all the internal contours with a small knife. We do everything so that the black lines of the stencil are on the part that will be removed.
How to glue a paper stencil to a window
It seems that this is elementary, however, there are many but... Some glue with ordinary water or soapy water, while for others such stencils disappear. Why is this happening? It all depends on the window itself. If it is dry, then it is enough to moisten the stencil with a liquid soap composition or walk it over the glass and then stick it on. But the design will not always remain on glass that sweats. Therefore, to say: “Guys, stick like this and everything will be fine” is not entirely fair.
Each window requires an individual approach. It is necessary to take into account, as I already said, whether it is crying or not. What temperature is in the room - cold or warm - this also has an effect. Here everything is individual, as they say at random - it holds, it doesn’t hold. All I can offer you is to tell you about all the different methods used for gluing paper stencils. I think one of these versions will definitely suit you.
- Soap composition or simply rub with well-soaked laundry soap.
- Transparent tape, but it leaves an imprint on the glass.
- Diluted toothpaste, but not very rare.
- Kefir, as strange as it may seem, people use this drink too, but it will also cause stains on the window and if you have a cat, the decoration will not last long, as you understand.
- Flour paste, which is prepared on the basis of flour and water. The consistency should be like sour cream. But again, there is the issue of stains on the glass during washing in the spring.
- Starch paste is diluted starch.
- Dry glue stick.
- Another gluing option is with regular milk.
- Sugar syrup - boil and then glue.
- Prepare the gelatin liquid as usual, but add a little more water than indicated in the recipe.
- Double-sided tape, it is hardly noticeable on the glass, it can be easily removed, but then you need to carefully wash off the traces.
- Men's shaving cream, dissolve in a small amount of water. The composition should not be liquid.
As you can see, everyone sticks differently, so make a choice, try it and then you will know exactly which method suits you.
My article about New Year's drawings on windows was quite lengthy. I hope you liked the cutting stencils and that the master class was interesting and understandable for you. I wish everyone good luck and, of course, patience, because in order to prepare such templates you need fortitude and inspiration.
I wish everyone happiness, Natalia Murga
