DIY Window Clings

This post will be a quick, yet really, really fun craft!  I saw this one forever ago on pinterest, but have no idea what happened to the actual pin.  Anyway, I was very skeptical, but it actually worked and I was stoked!


Step 1: tape some wax paper around a cutting board, picture frame, cookie sheet, or whatever other flat thing you can get your hands on.


Step 2: draw designs onto it with puff paint!  Since the cookie sheet is transparent, you can even slide a coloring book underneath if you need to!


Step 3: Let dry.  I'd advise letting them sit somewhere for about 24 hours as the thick or 'solid' ones take quite a while to dry!  After that, be careful when checking them because some of mine even needed to dry for two days.  Once they are completely dry, you can peel them off!


I made a TON of these for every holiday and occasion and will probably make more.  I just love them!


The glow-in-the dark puff paints came out amazing, particularly in the spiderwebs.


Once I got comfortable with the paints, I began to marble a few and such!


...and best, they really DO cling to slick surfaces!


Quick and easy!  The longest part is the dry time!

    1. Well, feel free to try again! These last remarkably well through rain or shine. I've had the large spiderweb one up there on that window for about 6 months now, just to see how it holds up...It is doing GREAT. It is even easy to peel off and then stick back on for cleanings.
