Window Color "Wichtel X-Mas" Template

Print out the free templates and slip them into a clear plastic sleeve. This keeps the template clean, lets you see the lines clearly, and makes it easy to peel everything off later. Place the sleeve on a firm, smooth surface so your Window Color designs dry evenly and don’t warp.

Trace the outlines and let them dry completely First, trace all the lines with outline paint. The outline is the “frame” of your design: it prevents the colors from bleeding into each other later and makes details like hat brims, beards, and small decorative elements clearly visible. Place the tip close to the foil and apply even pressure to create a continuous line. Let the outlines dry thoroughly before continuing—only then will the areas remain clearly separated when you color them in.

Filling in Areas – Color by Color, Without Rushing Now fill in the areas with Window Color . It’s best to work from the inside out and take your time with each color. Apply the paint in small amounts to the area and carefully push it with the tip all the way to the outline so no gaps form. If air bubbles form, pop them immediately with a toothpick and gently smooth out the paint. For classic Christmas colors, a combination of red, Green, Light Green, White, brown , and gold works particularly well; transparent is ideal for small highlights or subtle “glass” effects.

Let it dry—patience pays off Now let your Window Color artwork dry completely. Allow about 24 hours for this, so that even thicker areas of paint are fully cured. During this time, it’s best not to move it and to protect it from dust. This keeps the surface clear and ensures clean edges.

Peel off and apply to the window Once everything is completely dry, carefully lift the design at one corner and slowly peel it off the backing sheet. Then press your window design onto a clean, smooth window pane. Thanks to its light adhesive effect, it sticks well and can be removed and repositioned later—ideal for kids’ crafts during the winter and Christmas season.
