In addition to the Christmas tree, you can decorate the windows in the house. There are a lot of options for New Year's window design, there are both simple and complex types of decor.

Back in the Soviet years, windows were painted using banal toothpaste. It was quite accessible at the time material. New Year's paintings with its use decorated not only the windows of apartments, but also the windows of shops, childcare facilities, clubs. The use of toothpaste today has not lost its relevance. She can put an original pattern on the glass, and you can make a background from which various transparent silhouettes on the New Year's theme appear - watches, snowflakes, Christmas decorations, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.

There is nothing difficult in applying such toothpaste patterns, even small children cope with it. So decorate the window for the New Year can any family member. Better yet, turn this process into a collective family activity. When the New Year holidays are over, the traces of the decor will be easy to wash off the window with a sponge.

To decorate window glass using toothpaste, you need to prepare:

• unnecessary toothbrush and sponge;
• Scotch;
• water and a bowl under it;
• scissors;
• paper and pencil;
• a small rag (better flannel).

Suitable stencils in abundance can be found on the Internet. It is enough to copy them on your computer and print it out on a printer. It remains to cut the picture with scissors. If there are many small elements in the image, it is better to study the drawing and to mark with strokes those parts that are to be cut. This will help avoid errors when cutting. Now the paper blank must be immersed in water or put on the table and treated with a sponge dipped in liquid. Stick wet paper to the glass in a pre-selected place and press it with a dry cloth.

Toothpaste diluted in a bowl with water to a creamy state. Now dip the toothbrush in this mass, lightly shake off the excess paste and sprinkle on the glass where the stencil is glued. Having achieved uniform distribution of drops, it remains to remove the paper. All plot important places of the image should remain transparent. Where it is inconvenient to use a toothbrush, you can take a sponge. Wet it with paste, shake off excess and attach around the stencil, closing those areas that should be opaque.

To paint the window, relying on your artistic abilities, you can do something like a brush from a sponge: cut a piece of foam rubber, twist it into a tube and fix it with tape. In this way, you can create a whole set of brushes of different sizes. Squeeze pasta on a plate, dilute it, and paint it out with such “paint” at your discretion. It is convenient to bring the almost finished drawing to mind with a toothpick, which can remove all unnecessary stains and strokes, as well as identify the necessary small items. It is enough to scratch them in a frozen paste.

Images on the window are also made using ready-made stencils. Using them, it is not difficult to depict Christmas decorations, figures of animals on glass. It is enough to put a sponge in the slot of the blank to get a white or color (if the paste is mixed with paint) image on the window.

To date, the sale can be found a large number of various garlands.

• fringe;
• grids;
• curtain;

• luminous figures - both flat and volumetric.

The simplest thing to do is to arrange the window with a garland-grid or glowing lights, for example, in the form of stars. But you can go even further by decorating the window sill using such an achievement of electrical engineering. Hand-made paper should make a silhouette of a winter forest or a New Year's village, then to highlight it with a garland. You can use a LED model of a certain color, for example, yellow or blue. Such an installation when turning on the electricity on the window will create a unique Christmas mood.

• foam rubber;
• garland for the Christmas tree;
• scissors.

From the drawing paper you should make a long box with high sides, while focusing on the size of the window sill. Prepare a "bottom" of foam rubber with holes for the lights of the garland. Insert there the Christmas luminous decoration and put in the box. From the cardboard it remains to cut a solid silhouette with fir-trees, roofs of houses, deer, then glue these pictures from inside the box along its sides. In the evening, when the composition starts to glow in a dark room, the festive mood will be provided not only to the owners of the house, but also to those who will look at this window from the street.

Draw a piece of snowflake and cut. You can add a picture from snowflakes with images of animals or other figures cut from paper.
