Color in Yourself Window Clings

By , About.com Guide

Use these instructions to make your own window clings - submitted by Marie.

Materials Needed:

  • Clear Vinyl
  • Computer graphic or coloring book picture
  • Glossy black fabric paint (in squeeze bottle)
  • Washable markers (highlighter work well too!)
  • Newspaper (to protect work surface)
  • Scissors

Instructions:
Marie made these clings for her daughter's 8th birthday party and let the girls color them in. If you use the washable markers the clings can be washed out and then colored in again when dry!

  1. Spread out newspaper on your work surface.

  2. Spread out vinyl over the newspaper.

  3. Position graphic (I used Butterflies) under the vinyl for tracing.

  4. Start tracing with the black fabric paint (being very careful not to smudge!).

  5. Once you have completed the tracing let it dry for about an hour.

  6. Cut out your traced graphics from the vinyl.

  7. Color them in or let the kids do it!

  8. These clings can be stuck to your windows at home or in the car and can be washed out and colored again!

NOTE: You should be able to find vinyl in a fabric store! If you have conflicting info about this, please let me know!
