What is a template
We often confuse templates and stencils. In principle, these things are not much different from each other. However, there are some differences between them.
For example, with the help of a stencil, we can transfer the drawing to a window or a mirror using special paints or colored toothpaste - just paint over the holes in a piece of paper. But the template allows you to show creativity and resourcefulness. In addition, using a template, you can create truly original images.
You will be surprised, but drawing with a template will make you a real artist, because drawings can be of any complexity and size.
To create a New Year's pattern according to the template, you will need:
- Scissors
- Paper
- Scotch
- Special window paint or toothpaste.
- food coloring for coloring toothpaste
- Brush
- Good mood
Let's look at the option of staining the window with toothpaste.
Step 1. To begin with, you should decide on the pattern that you will transfer to the surface. Now the Internet is replete with all kinds of New Year-themed templates, so choosing the right one is not difficult. If you have the talent of an artist, you can create a painting that is one of a kind. Once you decide on a pattern, print (draw) it and glue it to the outside of the glass. Leave this part of the robot behind you, and do not trust it to children!
Step 2 Take some black food coloring and mix it with toothpaste. This color is often necessary for drawing the outline. Here you can use the forces of the child - it will be interesting for the baby to draw lines.
Step 3 As soon as the image is completely transferred to the window, remove the template and evaluate your work.
It is worth noting that toothpaste is the safest and is easily erased at the end of all holidays, which cannot be said about industrial paints. Using the template, you can not stop at the windows. You can decorate a mirror or make an original New Year's card with your own hands. Try to show maximum imagination to make this winter holiday even more interesting.
Since - the Fire Rooster, do not forget about this proud bird. Paint the window with cute cockerels and hens to appease the Master of the Year.
By the way, the templates are also suitable for preparing a New Year's cake or gingerbread. Honey gingerbread, decorated with delicious glaze of different colors, has long been in demand. Sometimes, they create real works of art.

Surface bonding
