- 1 sheet Wax paper or a silicone mat
- 1 optional Paintbrush Use if desired
- 1 container Container for mixing
- 1 scissors Scissors for cutting designs
Instructions
Preparation
- Choose a flat, clean surface to lay out your materials.
- Cover the workspace with wax paper or a silicone mat to protect it from glue spills.
Creating the Mixture
- In a container, mix white glue or liquid starch with food coloring or acrylic paint to achieve your desired color.
- Aim for vibrant hues; remember, colors may appear lighter once dried.
Crafting Your Designs
- Use a paintbrush or your fingers to spread the colored glue mixture onto the wax paper.
- Create shapes like ghosts, pumpkins, or spooky words. Keep designs simple for easier handling.
- For more detail, use a fine brush or allow layers to dry before adding extra details.
Drying
- Allow the designs to dry completely (usually takes a few hours or overnight).
- Ensure they are fully dry to make removal easy.
Cutting and Application
- Once dry, carefully peel the clings off the wax paper.
- Trim any excess if needed.
- Place the clings on your windows, where they will stick without adhesive!
Notes
Customize colors by mixing in glitter or metallic paints for extra flair. Consider using cookie cutters to create shapes before adding details. Store your clings flat between sheets of wax paper in a cool, dry place for next year.
