Pick a size for your window

Measure what you are decorating, then print the size that fits.

A4

Small pane

One snowflake or a star per pane. Print at 100% and it fills most cottage and sash panes.

A3

Front door glass

A tree, a big star or a ring of snowflakes. Print at A3 at home, or at any print shop or library.

A few A4 sheets

Bay or shop window

Spell out Merry Christmas a word at a time, or repeat one snowflake across the glass. Shops can turn their logo into a stencil with the maker.

How to use a Christmas window stencil

  1. Print the PDF on card or thick paper. A4 suits a single pane, A3 a front door.
  2. Cut out every black area with a craft knife or small scissors. Keep the thin bridges: they hold the middle bits in place.
  3. Clean and dry the glass. Tape the stencil flat on the inside of the window with low-tack masking tape and press every edge down.
  4. Shake the snow spray well and dust it on from about 30cm in two or three light coats. Light coats stop it creeping under the edges.
  5. Peel the stencil off straight away, before the snow sets or drips. Wipe the back and it is ready for the next pane.

Questions

Will snow spray damage my windows?

Not on normal glass. Window snow spray is made to wipe off. On tinted film, leaded panes or old putty, test a small corner first, and keep it off wooden frames.

How do I stop the snow creeping under the stencil?

Tape every edge flat, hold loose middles down with a dot of Blu Tack, and spray light coats from about 30cm. One heavy coat is what bleeds under the edges.

Do I spray inside or outside the glass?

Inside. Rain and frost wash it off outside. Snowflakes and stars look the same either way round, but lettering needs flipping: tape it face down so Merry Christmas reads the right way from the street.

How do I get it off after Christmas?

Dry kitchen roll takes most of it off, then glass cleaner or warm soapy water does the rest. A plastic scraper helps in the corners.

Can I reuse a window stencil?

Yes. Card lasts a few windows. Mylar (stencil plastic) lasts for years: rinse it in warm water and let it dry flat between uses.

Can I make a window stencil from my own picture?

Yes. Upload a photo, logo or drawing to the Christmas stencil maker and it gives you a printable stencil in about a minute. Shops use it to put their logo on the window for December.
