Both children and adults love the New Year holiday. Everyone wants to create a home New Year's tale and plunge into the wonderful atmosphere of magic.

To make beautiful openwork paper snowflakes, it is better to take ready-made patterns for cutting.
The main thing in the work is to correctly fold the sheet of paper to apply the template. Each snowflake consists of a pattern repeating around its circumference. The blanks are usually folded for 1/6 and 1/12 parts. You can fold the part based on an already cut circle or any sheet that first needs to be cut to a square and then folded, or, conversely, the folds are made first, and then the shape of a sector of the circle is cut out.
The amazingly delicate and delicate works of Marine Coutroutsios show how, using paper cutting, you can create works that are both so simple and so beautiful. When you look at them, you take your breath away and you want to make such beauty yourself. Crafts made from paper can be very diverse, from weaving to weaving.
Cutting out pictures from paper. Marine Coutroutsios technology
Today I would like to introduce you to the wonderful works of the French designer Marine Coutroutsios and tell you about a fairly simple technique for their implementation. Working with paper, she creates real paintings with her own hands, which are used in advertising campaigns and serious commercial projects.
Every element, every detail, every cut helps her create a holistic image that fascinates and amazes with its beauty and originality.
To perform work using the vytynanka technique, the author uses:
- dense white paper;
— colored paper for the base;
- scissors;
- pencil.
To cut through small elements, it is more convenient to use a thin blade or special knives for cutting paper. The process of creating a vytynanka itself is very simple and can become exciting activity not only for adults, but also for children. They love to cut something, and the result can be very interesting. A funny bee sat down on a beautiful flower with curved petals.
It all starts with thinking through the image of the future painting and creating a sketch. You can create a drawing yourself or take your favorite work as a basis. Next, the sketch is transferred to paper, markings and contours are made along which the cuts will be made. Once the design has been transferred, you can begin cutting. Cutting through every millimeter, every line in detail, we see how a pattern begins to emerge. After the design is cut out, it can be made three-dimensional by bending some of its details and applying the resulting openwork design to a sheet of colored paper.
The detailed process of how Marine Coutroutsios carves his work is shown in the video. Simplicity is fascinating.
As you can see, the author did an excellent thematic work for the year of the Snake Chinese calendar. In combination with a bright red background, such a painting will be an excellent decoration for the home, becoming a talisman for the holidays. whole year or a holiday gift. A garland of delicate paper flowers adds extra dimension to the work.
Using this technology, you can make other works with your own hands, which, like gifts, can be timed to coincide with a particular event. Handmade paper hearts are a great way to tell a person about your feelings. After cutting out the pattern, flowers, using reverse side scissors, add volume. The work is fixed on colored paper, fixing the sheets at a distance from each other. This move allows you to add depth to the work.
With a little effort and imagination, this wonderful material will help you convey emotions and attitude towards the person for whom the gift is being made.
The work will become memorable and pleasant surprise, revealing another creative side of your talent.
Just a few cuts and graceful bending of thin petals, and you get a magical heart with a sensual flower inside. Cutting allows your imagination to take flight, and creating exquisite paper flowers is as easy as pie. A few cuts and voila, you have a beautiful lotus!
And you don’t have to think that working with paper is difficult and not everyone can do it. Just try it, and this material will open up a horizon of possibilities for you. Cut out? What could be simpler! Even a child can make a creative craft himself, illustrating his favorite fairy tale, which will become the subject of his pride and joy.
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.

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 New Year's stencil and how to make it bigger 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 plain water or soap solution, 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 honest.
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 small quantity 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
