Details to watch
- Keep the centre panel flat and fold only the two side shutters. Do not draw a window frame across the opening.
- Leave the snow white rather than colouring the entire middle panel blue. A sharp pencil helps you work around the snow dots.
- The template is blank. Draw the coloured scene yourself; no pre-coloured picture is supplied to cut out.
How the craft comes together
These are the main making stages. The complete English PDF has 12 individually illustrated steps and the project patterns.
Measure and fold the shutters
Cut white card 18 cm wide x 13 cm tall. Mark fold lines at 4.5 cm and 13.5 cm from the left edge. Fold the left flap inward, then the right, so their edges meet in the middle. Reopen flat.
Draw the snowy background
In the 9 cm-wide middle panel, mark a ground line 1.2 cm above the bottom. Add four small snow circles. Colour the sky light blue while leaving the ground and snow circles white.
Add the Christmas tree
Draw a triangle about 5 cm wide x 6.5 cm tall with a small trunk below. Colour the triangle green and the trunk brown. Add a yellow star, three red circle decorations and a red gift with yellow ribbon lines.
Draw the outside window panes
Close the shutters. Draw a tall rectangle on each outside flap, keeping about 6 mm clear at the side edges. Colour the panes light blue, leaving a 9 mm white snow strip below and three tiny white dots on each.
Finish the bars and open the scene
Use dark blue for a vertical and horizontal window bar on each flap. Keep the vertical bars above the white snow strip. Add yellow handles near the opening edges, then open both shutters to reveal the tree.

Questions before you start
Is the Christmas scene pre-printed?
No. You draw the tree, sky, snow, decorations and window panes yourself. The optional template supplies a blank outline and fold lines only.
Can I make this without a printer?
Yes. Measure an 18 x 13 cm rectangle and mark the folds at 4.5 cm and 13.5 cm from the left edge. Follow the colour instructions on screen.
Does this paper window need glue?
No. It is made from one piece of white light card using drawing, colouring and two shutter folds.
Which colours do I need?
Light blue for sky and panes, dark blue for window bars, green for the tree, brown for the trunk, yellow for the star and handles, and red for decorations and the gift. Leave snow white.
Is the guide suitable for a classroom?
Suggested ages 6+ with adult help. Adults can prepare the rectangles in advance. The family / single-classroom licence permits use with your own class; it does not permit sharing or reselling the digital file.
