DIY Window Clings
Use Mod Podge to make your own DIY window stickers on a budget - these gel window clings are so easy, and a great kids' craft! There are two methods for making your clings.
Yield: 6 clings
Cost: $3
Equipment
- Hole punch, die cutter, cookie cutter, or craft knife something to cut shapes with
- Palette knife or spreader
- Scraper
Materials
- Mod Podge Gloss
- Apple Barrel paint in your choice of colors
- Gallery Glass Leading Blanks - or silicone mat non-stick surface
Instructions
Method One
- Mix Mod Podge with a few drops of acrylic paint (in a container or on your mat) until desired color is achieved.
- Spread the Mod Podge mixture across the mat in a thin medium layer and allow to dry.
- Use a scraper to remove the thin, colored Mod Podge piece from the blank.
- Use a die cutter, scissors, or cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the Mod Podge material.
Method Two
- Mix Mod Podge with a few drops of food coloring in a bottle. Shake.
- Place cookie cutters on a silicone mat.
- Squeeze the Mod Podge mixture into the cookie cutters until you have a thin-medium layer across the bottom (completely filling the cookie cutters).
- Let dry on the mat for 24 hours. Do not remove the cookie cutters.
- Once the clings are dry, pop them out of the cookie cutters.
To Use
- For both methods: exhale on your clings or warm them in your hands and then stick to glass or mirrored surfaces.

Notes
I already had Mod Podge on hand; the only thing I purchased was paint at $1 per bottle.
Step 1: I did it right on the mat first . . . I was testing!
If you find it difficult to remove the clings, simply heat with a hair dryer for a few seconds. The clings should loosen and remove easily.
