Each of us remembers snow-white snowflakes from childhood. To create them, it was enough to fold a sheet of paper or napkin several times, make small cuts with scissors and get a finished snowflake. The simplest manipulations gave birth to real magic. Currently, the so-called vytynanki are popular. Making them is also very easy.

For this you will need:

• scissors with thin edges (you can take manicure ones);
• stationery knife;
• a board or thick cardboard (placed on the table so as not to spoil its surface).

Vytynanki are most often made of cardboard or paper. If you are good at drawing, you can easily create a template using your creativity or imagination. Otherwise, you can simply download ready-made templates from the Internet and print them using a printer.

How to cut a protrusion correctly

Armed with all the necessary materials, you should get to work. First, you need to put a piece of cardboard or a board on the table, and then attach a piece of paper with a template to it. After this, you should trace the stencil along the contour and start cutting out all the small parts that are located inside. To do this, you can use a stationery knife or manicure scissors.

When cutting out small figures inside, immediately get rid of unnecessary paper scraps. This will make it easier to concentrate on the overall amount of work. Next, you should start cutting out larger fragments of the picture. The final stage is cutting out the entire image along the contour.

To create a unique composition, you can take colored paper, or paint the details of the protrusion yourself with watercolors or gouache.

If you are trying to make several protrusions of the same pattern at once, then you can place two or three sheets of paper under the stencil at once. By cutting out one part, you will get several of them at once. This method saves a lot of time, which is always in short supply before the holidays.

How to properly glue stencils for the New Year 2017

You need to glue the decorations carefully, without damaging the glass. After all, the holiday is over and you want the window to be easily washed without being scratched. To do this, you should follow a few simple rules when creating a composition.

1. You definitely need to think about the structure of the application. So as not to re-glue the same stencil from place to place several times.

2. You should not use PVA glue for cut out stencils for the New Year. It is difficult to clean and can leave unwanted streaks on the glass. It is better to attach jewelry using ordinary soap.

3. In order to glue the cut out stencil on the window for the New Year, just soap one hand and carefully move it along the prepared template. After this, immediately glue the decoration to the glass. If for some reason you are so uncomfortable attaching New Year's stencils, then you can use a regular painting brush. Run it over the soap several times, and then along one side of the decoration and attach it to the glass.

4. If you don't have a brush, you can use a dishwashing sponge. But in this case, soap stains may remain on the glass. Therefore, you should wait until the cut out stencils for the new year 2017 dry and carefully remove any remaining soap.

To simplify the task, stencils and paper window decorations for the New Year can be cut from double-sided tape. This way you can reduce the time it takes to stick figures on glass.

The New Year 2017 and Christmas holidays are already coming. All people are busy decorating their houses. Everyone tries to decorate their house in their own way, so that it is different from the others, and so that people passing by look at the house and rejoice. People's souls will be joyful and everyone will have only bright feelings. The most interesting and unusual of all the decorations are the stencils on the windows. You can simply stick them on or create entire compositions from them.

Stencils for the New Year 2017 for cutting out on the window: pictures.

They are also called New Year's piercings. This is paper from which various patterns and pictures are cut out. Decorating a window with these paper figures is very quick and, most importantly, entertaining. So, let's look at the technique of cutting out piercings.

First you need to choose what stencils you want to make. Enlarged to the size you need to print. You can make your images not only white, but also colored. Choose a color to suit your taste, but gold or silver would look better. Then prepare a place to work with stencils. There should be nothing unnecessary in your workplace. All you need is: a cutting board, a stationery knife, scissors, maybe a blade and the stencils themselves. Firstly, before you start cutting, place a cutting board on the table, or something that will not scratch the surface of your table.

Cutting them out is very easy. The silhouette can be cut out with scissors, but the details inside the silhouette are cut out with a stationery knife. But if you don't have a knife, you can take a blade, but be careful. Cut out all the details of the design more legibly so that passing people can understand what kind of figure you are on the window. After all the details for your winter painting are prepared, all that remains is to glue them. It is better to glue them with a soap solution. They do it as follows. Throw a couple of bars of soap into a cup of water, but if you want, you can also pour liquid soap. Mix your solution and apply it to the window. And glue your stencils.

2017 is the year of the Red Rooster. Let's see what kind of poking can be done from a rooster composition.

Interestingly, we cut out a rooster standing in the snow, around a snowflake, and under the rooster is the year 2017. Since it is the year of the red fiery rooster, we will therefore cut out the rooster

Where the stencil is red and needs to be cut out.

You can even make such a composition that this rooster goes to some kind of Christmas tree. For example, you can cut something like this:

This one is very easy to cut. The inside of the Christmas tree can be cut out with nail scissors.

The sign will look very beautiful: New Year's Christmas balls are hanging on ribbons. But the balls are not round, they will be in the form of 2017 numbers. And a rooster will sit in the zero. Smiling is interesting and unusual.

We suggest sticking these funny cockerels on the corners of the windows. But cut them out carefully. It’s difficult to cut out the wings, so if you can’t do it yourself, ask an adult.

So, let's create a composition “village in winter”. In the middle of everything we will have a house with snow on its roof. There is a Christmas tree next to the house, and large trees behind. There is a path and on the sides there are small bushes.

Stencil - house

On the left there will be a mill with an arch. Near it there will be a large tall tree, and on the arc side there will be a gate.

And to the right of our house we will place the church. It is in a triangular frame. In the foreground are bushes, behind it stands a church covered with snow. There is a Christmas tree on one side of it, and a tree on the other.

On top of the window (in the sky of our composition) we will glue a Christmas tree made up of large and small stars. And you can just glue small stars around it. If you add a little imagination, people will think that the stars themselves formed a Christmas tree.

Now we need to make some kind of planet that will illuminate our earthly beauty. This will be our moon. Or rather, the month on which the little bear sleeps. He also holds a bear in his hands. And stars hang from the month.

So we got this winter picture of the village. If you wish, you can stick small snowflakes on the window, and it will look like it’s snowing in the village.

Here are the cat stencils:

These are the photos!

This was a village in winter, and now we’ll make a winter forest.

You can stick three or four Christmas trees on the bottom of the windows, and between them comes Santa Claus with gifts. A fawn is walking towards grandfather. There is a month in the sky that smiles welcomingly at everyone. And in the sky around this there were little angels shining, looking at him and at what was happening on earth!

And here are the stencils for this painting.

You can make window decorations in another interesting way. Take toothpaste and mix it with water until foam forms. Then we take our stencil and glue it to the glass with tape. Now let's take a toothbrush and paint over our figure. It barks in a peculiar way.

DIY crafts in the shape of roosters will be relevant not only during the holidays in New Year 2017, but also every year at Easter. And without them it is simply impossible to imagine an interior in Provence, country or rustic style. In this material, we presented 6 step-by-step master classes on how to make cute crafts in the form of roosters to decorate your home, Christmas tree or holiday table from scrap and even waste materials.

Master class 1. Candy bowl in the shape of a rooster

Looking at this elegant candy dish, it’s hard to imagine that you can make it yourself, and even from... cardboard egg cartons. In fact, to make such a handsome man it will not take much time or the skills of an artist-sculptor. By the way, even a child can do most of the work, so this is a great idea for a New Year’s craft for school or kindergarten.

With this candy bowl you can decorate your holiday table and surprise your guests. However, it can be filled not only with sweets, but also with tangerines, small gifts for competitions, and notes with predictions. You can also put a cockerel under the tree along with a gift.

Materials:

• 7 packages for a dozen eggs;
• Scissors;
• Acrylic paints and brushes;
• Hot glue gun;
• PVA glue (at least 250 g);
• Balloon;
• Old newspapers;
• White paper.

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut out the cones located in the middle of the tray, then cut their sides into feather petals. Each cone should have 4 feathers.

Step 2. Now we need to make blanks for the head and throat of the rooster according to the principle of adding feathers to cones: the head will consist of 5 feathers, the second cone (throat) - of 6 feathers, the third cone - of 8, the fourth - of 10, the fifth - of 12 feathers. And finally, make the sixth piece, but in the form of a fan of 8 feathers, and not in the form of a cone, since this part will cover the beginning of the back. To extend feathers, use tape, gluing it to the inside of the blanks.

Step 3. For now, set the cones aside and cut out the beak, comb and wattle of the rooster. The comb just needs to be drawn and cut out. To make a beard, you need to cut a blank from two sidewalls of adjacent tray cells (see photo).

The next two photos show the principle of making the beak of our craft. Please note that the beak consists of two cones, because our rooster must crow!

Step 4. Now we begin to form the figure of the rooster, namely the head and throat. Glue all the cones together, starting with the smallest and ending with the largest, using a hot glue gun. Also glue the beak, beard and comb.

Step 5. Draw and cut out two blanks in the form of wings 15 cm long, then use a glue gun to cover them with feathers... from the same cones.

Step 6. Cut feathers for the rooster's tail from the tray lids (you should get 4 feathers from one lid).

Step 7. Let's move on to making a belly-bowl for candy using the papier-mâché technique:

1. Blow up a balloon and cut strips from white office paper and strips from old newspapers.
2. Cover the entire ball tightly with strips soaked in PVA glue (the glue can be diluted slightly with water). The first and last layers must be white. There should be at least 4 layers of paper in total.
3. The next day, when the paper is completely dry, burst the ball and cut the resulting “egg” into two unequal parts (one half should be slightly larger). Then place the small part in the larger one and glue it to make the bowl strong.

Step 8. Attach the rooster's head to the belly using a cardboard backing (from the inside). Hot glue the wings and tail to the rooster's body. Our craft in the shape of a rooster already looks surprisingly realistic!

Step 9. It's time to paint the candy bowl. You can choose the shades of paint to suit your taste, because roosters are different and it is not at all necessary to achieve complete realism. Perhaps your rooster will be beautiful in all-gold plumage? In the same project, shiny paints were used for the legs, beak, comb and beard, and pearlescent paints were used for painting the feathers.

Please note that the color transitions on the cockerel are smooth - from pearl white to gold and then to green.

Step 10: To provide more stability to your candy bowl, glue some kind of square support to the bowl and of course two legs made from 3-leaf cones. Finally, paint the paws, fill a bowl with candy and place your handsome one in a prominent place. Now he is ready to cheer up all the guests at the New Year's or Easter table!

Master class 2. Christmas tree decorations in the form of roosters

In the coming 2017, the Christmas tree must be decorated with decorations in the form of roosters. It is easier and best to make Christmas tree decorations with your own hands from felt, because it is so bright, affordable and easy to work with.

And here is a video instruction on how to make crafts in the shape of roosters-hearts with your own hands.

In this video you can see the general principle of making felt crafts in the form of cockerels.

In addition to the egg with the cockerel, make some more felt pendants and decorate the willow branches with them for Easter

Master class 3. Paper roosters with hanging legs (for children)

Here’s an idea for children’s crafts on the theme of the symbol of 2017, which can be made both for school/kindergarten and for decorating a Christmas tree or walls at home.

Instructions:

Step 1: Download and print the template, then cut out all the pieces.

Step 2. Cut one rope, glue the paws to its ends - these are the legs.

Step 3. Place the legs on the bottom loop, bend it along the dotted line and glue it to the body.

Step 4. Glue the top loop.

Step 5. Well, that's all, now all that remains is to color the cockerels to your taste.

Master class 4. Panel with a silhouette of a rooster in Provence style

The silhouette of a rooster, painted on rough old boards, will be an excellent decoration, rustic or. And a panel with the symbol of 2017 can be an excellent New Year's gift. The following selection of photos presents several ideas for such crafts.

Materials:

• Wooden boards of small thickness. In this master class, boards from a pallet (pallet) were used; boards disassembled from a wooden fruit box are also suitable. Whatever boards you choose, fresh or old, you need to clean and dry them before making the craft.
• Saw or jigsaw.
• Small nails.
• Hammer.
• Stain or acrylic paints of the desired color for the background. If you wish, you can use chalk paints, which are sold ready-made or diluted yourself (from acrylic paints with the addition of gypsum). With their help, it will be easier to create the effect of an old tree.
• White acrylic or chalk paint to depict the silhouette of a rooster.
• Colorless matte primer for wood (preferably).
• Matte varnish (preferably).
• Brushes.
• Fine grit sandpaper.
• Pencil.
• Paper.
• Stationery or breadboard knife and scissors.
• Wood wax, clear or dark (optional).

Instructions:

Step 1. Estimate how many boards you will need to put together a panel of the desired size.

Step 2. Take measurements and cut the boards to the same length. Also prepare two smaller boards - they will act as crossbars and connect all the other boards.

Step 3: Place the main boards face down, line them up, then lay two smaller boards crosswise as shown in the photo below. Now nail each board to the cross beams.

Step 4. Clean the surface from dust, then apply primer to the panel in 1-2 layers, allowing each layer to dry. This step is not necessary as we want a rough and antique look to the wood and paint, but a primer is still necessary if you want to extend the life of your painting and make it easier to care for.

Step 5. Now we need to paint the boards, that is, create a background for our rooster. To create the effect of faded paint, this project used white and blue water stain, which was applied unevenly. There is another way of antique painting: paint the boards with acrylic paint in 1 layer, wait for the paint to dry, then wipe the surface with sandpaper in some places or over the entire area.

Step 6. It's time to start making the stencil. If you are making a small panel of approximately A4 size or less, then you can simply print the picture below, having first adjusted its dimensions in any photo editor. Then all you have to do is laminate the paper with transparent tape and cut out the silhouette of the rooster using a stationery or craft knife. Voila, the stencil is ready!

If you want to make a larger panel, for example, A3 format, then the picture will have to be printed in two parts (or more). To do this, upload the rooster silhouette to rasterbator.net, print the resulting PDF file, cut out the parts, then assemble them like a mosaic. Next, you can laminate the stencil with tape or transfer the outlines of the stencil from office paper to thicker or laminated paper (see photo).

As you can see, on this stencil, in addition to the silhouette of a bird, the French word “Le Coq” (trans. “rooster”) is carved out. You can repeat this idea or come up with your own signature, for example, “Bon appétit!”

Step 7. Secure the stencil to your panel using masking tape and begin painting the silhouette with white paint. Once the paint is dry, sand some areas of the design with fine-grit sandpaper to create an antique effect.

Step 8. Hurray! Almost ready, all that remains is to apply a layer of wax to the panel and polish it. Keep in mind that dark wax will give your panel an even more “shabby” look, while clear wax will simply protect it.
