The stencil does not have to stick for a long time, so thorough cleaning in advance is not absolutely necessary. Nonetheless, the tape will not stick well to a surface that is too dusty.
Now you can draw the picture from the inside by simply tracing the contours.
Chalk markers are not only available in white. You can even paint your windows with colored motifs for Christmas.
