Video on how to make drawings with toothpaste and gouache
And this is a simple but effective drawing with toothpaste diluted with water to a gouache state.
You can draw pictures yourself using simple gouache. I think it would be interesting for a child to do something like this. But you can also print some animals. Gouache is quite easy to wash off with water, and it also allows you to make a colored drawing.
Small Christmas trees
Instead of one large Christmas tree, place several small collections or individual branches along the window. Place them in beautiful flowerpots or wrap them in elegant bags.

Drawing with gouache
You can decorate windows for the New Year using paints. The wide surface of the window glass allows you to depict entire scenes with several characters against the backdrop of New Year's landscapes. For painting, it is better to use gouache - compared to other paints, it lays on the glass in a dense layer and is easily washed off afterwards.
Even small children can paint windows for the holiday. They can draw the whole picture themselves or color what the adults have marked on the glass. If you plan to draw a small picture, you can print out a suitable image, temporarily attach a sheet to the outside of the window and trace the contours of the image, so that you can then color them yourself or with your children.
New Year 2022 is the year of the Tiger. Children will appreciate an unusual idea if a cute Tiger Cub can become one of the many New Year's characters painted on windows on the eve of the holiday.

Fantasy technique - painting
Paint glass surfaces with a chalk marker or regular toothpaste. They do this using a stencil with a brush or sponge, and if they have the ability and skills, they draw directly by hand.
More often depicted:
- Snowmen.
- Santa Claus, as if looking in from outside.
- Characters of cartoon films.
- Kids on a sled.
- Winter landscapes.
- Symbols of the year.
There is an unspoken rule - the bottom is always filled with large fragments, and the top with small ones. Such designs are easy to wash off with water, and multi-colors are achieved by adding food coloring or gouache.
Wreaths
A wreath is an invariable holiday attribute that is appropriate not only on the door, but also on the window. It is not difficult to make it from scrap materials, weaving a circle from branches and decorating it at your personal discretion with flashy tinsel, pine needles, and toys. The crescent wreath has an extraordinary look.
You can braid a cardboard template with twine or burlap, adding bunches of rowan berries or physalis, braid and bows. The object is effectively covered with coffee beans, peas, and rhinestones; nothing restrains the creator’s imagination in this matter.
Entourage on the windowsill
The structure becomes a container for small Christmas trees, figurines of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, fabric dolls or painted figures made from salt dough.
Potted living vegetation will also come in handy; it is surrounded with snow and cotton wool, decorated with rain and bows. On the window sill, entire cardboard cities and villages, snow-white forests with forest inhabitants sometimes grow.
Ikebana from pine cones and pine paws, embroidered patterned pillows, voluminous stars and hearts look colorful.
A simple idea is in demand when transparent containers are filled with artificial snow, bright balls or LED strips. Romance will be added by:
- lit candles, identical or different in format;
- exquisite candelabra or candlesticks, glasses, bottles;
- gift boxes tied with multi-colored ribbons;
- wicker baskets with delicious fruits and sweets;
- lanterns and intricate lamps;
- ornate snags on wood cuts.
If you live on the ground floor or in private housing, decorations on the street side, looking like coniferous ensembles in tandem with beautiful accessories, will not hurt. Although today residents of multi-storey buildings do not deprive themselves of this pleasure.
Positive energy lurks in the original magical scenery; this is an ancient folk symbolism of happiness, goodness and prosperity. Do not neglect the bright omen, create the holiday yourself and generously give it to others.

Stencils for inscriptions and numbers
I will share an observation from the last New Year. Residents of one apartment posted the following wish on their window: “Everyone! Total!". You know, as they say, it’s a small thing, but it’s nice!
Congratulation templates:
You can print any letters and hang them as a congratulatory text. You can cut out all the patterns and you will get a vytynanka.
It is convenient to cut with a stationery knife. Print out the template and place a blank A4 sheet underneath it. Fix both sheets with tape to the table and use a knife to cut out all the patterns inside on the template, then the general outline, under the template you get a sheet with a finished protrusion.
Ready-made stickers
You can decorate windows for the New Year not only by creating something yourself. For those who do not like to wash off drawings or traces of glued decorations from glass after the holiday, using store-bought stickers would be a suitable idea. It doesn’t take time to create these decorative elements; you just need to choose and purchase the option you like. Most stickers are disposable, but can be saved and used for next year. To do this, after the holidays are over, you need to carefully remove the sticker and stick it back to the sheet in which it was sold.
Christmas theme
If there is no desire to change the Christmas decor in two weeks, then you need to immediately take care of the appropriate paraphernalia when decorating the windows. These include:
- Christmas wreaths with traditional green and red ribbons;
- gingerbread and colorful caramel;
- boots for Santa Claus;
- carved figures of angels;
- coniferous compositions with candles on the windowsills.
How to decorate a windowsill?
Before decorating the window space, you should move traditional pots with indoor plants from the windowsill. This will not only have a beneficial effect on the plants themselves (as it will relieve them of the dry air of the radiators), but will also help create New Year's compositions without green foliage in the background.
Anything can serve as material for creating a composition:
- figurines of animals or New Year characters;
- small artificial Christmas trees arranged in a row or one medium-sized Christmas tree;
- decorative gifts;
- red apples, oranges, spices (cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves and cardamom);
- dry branches and fir cones;
- fresh branches of coniferous trees;
- Christmas tree decorations, garlands, colorful ribbons.
Even the most ordinary glass jars with artificial snow poured inside or a twisted garland included will become an original New Year's decoration for windows.
The easiest ways
If you don’t have enough time or simply don’t have any special abilities for applied creativity, a simple desire to create beauty in your home with your own hands is enough. To decorate a window in these ways, it is enough to have a little free time and the simplest materials at hand.
Paper decor with snowflakes
Even a child can cut out snowflakes from paper. You can draw a diagram yourself, following an example from the Internet, or you can print ready-made stencils on a printer. Using regular Xerox paper, snowflakes will be denser and thicker. To delicately cut out small details in openwork snowflakes, you will need sharp nail scissors with sharp blades, and instead of paper, napkins or corrugated paper will do.
It is convenient to glue them to glass using a soap solution - this way there will be no adhesive marks or streaks left. A good alternative is double-sided tape; residue can be easily removed with glass cleaner or a sponge soaked in acetone.
Ready-made stencils and stickers
Such self-adhesives are presented in huge quantities on the shelves of any stores. Their main advantage is speed and simplicity. The child will be immensely happy if he is allowed to contribute and decorate the room on his own. The disadvantages include the non-unique design and quick peeling.
There are various adhesive pictures: luminous, vinyl, matte, glossy. By method of use: disposable and reusable.
Ready-made stencils also leave no room for imagination: the outline is applied to white or colored paper and cut out. Attached to glass similar to snowflakes.
Ready-made collages from a set of stickers look interesting: just place them at your discretion to get a completed picture.
