Ingredients
Materials
- 1 bottle Clear Glaze or Gel (fabric medium)
- 1 sheet Parchment Paper or a Silicone Mat To protect your workspace.
- 1 item Paintbrush or Small Spoon
- a few drops Food Coloring or Liquid Watercolors For coloring the glaze.
- optional Glitter or Small Sequins For extra sparkle effect.
- 1 container Container for Mixing
- optional Greaseproof Tape If needed.
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather Materials: Ensure all your supplies are within arm’s reach for a smooth crafting experience.
- Work Surface: Lay down parchment paper or a silicone mat to protect your workspace.
Mix Your Colors
- Combine Glaze and Color: In a container, mix the clear glaze with a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors to achieve your desired shade.
- Customize: Feel free to add glitter or small sequins for an extra sparkly effect.
Designing Your Clings
- Draw Shapes: Using your paintbrush or spoon, apply the mixture onto the parchment paper in your desired shapes (e.g., stars, hearts, or flowers).
- Thickness Matters: Ensure your designs are thick enough to hold their shape once dry but not too thick that they take excessive time to cure.
Let Them Dry
- Curing Time: Allow your clings to dry for 24-48 hours at room temperature. If you’re in a humid environment, it may take longer.
- Testing: Once dry, gently peel the shapes off the mat.
Application
- Placing on Windows: Stick your clings on clean windows. They should adhere easily without any additional adhesives.
Notes
Consider custom shapes using cookie cutters or themed sets for holidays.
