DIY Window Clings for Halloween…
You can really get carried away haunting your house with your own window clings. It’s really easy to do. I made my images free style, but you can easily print off some clip-art and trace some easy images.

Here’s What You’ll Need for your own Halloween DIY Window Clings…
- Puffy Paint – an assortment of Halloween colors
- Parchment Paper
- Optional – Halloween Print Outs (like clip-art images) for tracing over
Instructions…
- Once you know what you want to make, just use the puffy paint colors to draw your image by squeezing out the puffy paint onto the parchment paper
- Don’t be stingy with the amount of puffy paint you use per image. Make the puffy paint a little thick (puffy). This will ensure that it doesn’t rip when you pull it off of the parchment paper. A thin layer may tear
- *The Jack-O-Lantern I’m peeling away from the parchment paper was one that I made by filling in the orange around the black face expressions. That way you can see the design from both sides of the window. I also did that with my haunted house so the yellow windows would show on both sides
- Let your images dry overnight, and peel off your puffy paint design
- Stick them to your mirrors, and/or windows
- *the shiny side will stick better to your window. If you want to place the flat side against the window, I’ve had success by adding a drop of water to the edges of the flat side
Tips and Tricks for making Window Clings with the kids…
- If you are using a printable just place it under the parchment paper and trace it with your puffy paint
- If your cling won’t stick try turning it around so the shiny side is facing the window
- Another tip is to add a dab of water to the cling so it will adhere to the window a little better
