The windows are like a blank canvas if you want to add beautiful pictures to them. No special stickers or window paints are necessary to transform the glass into a colorful picture. Even some small paper crafts are perfect for this. How about these colorful 3D butterflies flying out of the pages of a book? All you need to make these butterflies is a suitable template and some colored paper. Each butterfly consists of two stencils that are glued in the middle and bent slightly. Then all that remains is to glue the beautiful butterflies to the window. But what can you use for it?

Make butterflies out of coffee filters as window decorations
Household items such as standard coffee filters are also great for making beautiful window pictures. For this craft project with the kids you will need halved pipe cleaners, paper coffee filters, watercolor paints, brushes and water.
And this is how it works:
- First, flatten the coffee filter and place it on a plate or newspaper so that the color and water can penetrate.
- Paint as you wish and set aside to dry on paper towels.
- Fold the halved pipe cleaner in half and fold the coffee filter like an accordion.
- Then twist the pipe cleaner around the filter to secure it in place (you can also use aUse clothespin).
- Bend the tips of the pipe cleaners slightly to form the antennae.
- Fan the butterfly wings and bring the butterflies to the window pane.
You can either stick these butterflies directly to the window pane or hang them from the window using fishing line so that they float in the air.
Make spring window pictures with tracing paper
In addition to Window Color, tracing paper is perhaps the most popular option for homemade window pictures for spring. It can be decorated as desired and after the finished pictures are placed on the window, they create colorful light effects. We explain exactly how it works below.
For this craft idea you need extra strong white tracing paper, a template, glue, scissors and colorful tracing or tissue paper. Alternatively, you can also use acrylic paints to paint the white paper.
First transfer the outer contour of your template onto the white transparency paper. Cut or tear small pieces of different colors from the colorful tracing paper. Then coat the inside surface of the design with glue and have the child stick the paper scraps onto it. Then let it dry briefly and the simple window pictures are ready.
Instead of sticking on the transparent paper, you can also decorate it with brushes and paint. Then stick it directly on the window to invite spring into the room.
Even if it's raining outside, these pictures will add more spring vibes to the house. Don't forget yoursto clean windowsbefore you put up the window pictures for spring.
