Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• All-purpose white school glue
• Craft paints (in the colors of your choice)
• Sponge paint brushes
• Paper plate
• Clean window

1. Pour a manageable amount of glue onto a paper plate. Apply a thin coat to the window with a sponge brush. Let dry completely.
2. Mix a small amount of paint into the glue and paint a pattern of your choice on the window. Let each color dry before layering on a different color.
3. Apply a final coat of clear glue over the painted pattern. Let dry.
4. To remove, carefully use a razor blade to peel away the glue. Wash the window with soap and water to remove glue residue.

Tips & Warnings

• Try leaving some glue visible when mixing paint and glue. This will result in a more marbleized texture.
• To get the look of lead lines, draw out your pattern over the first layer of glue with a black or copper paint marker. Fill in the lines with colored glue.
• Don't get the glue/paint mixture too close to the edges of the window, as it may not come off as desired.
