How to Make Thanksgiving Window Clings

Thanksgiving window clings are a great festive decoration. They are even more fun when you make and personalize them yourself. If you can color inside lines, then you can make fun Thanksgiving window clings to decorate your windows this November.

Things You'll Need

• Thanksgiving-themed coloring book
• Scissors
• Tape
• Wax paper
• Glitter glue
• Toothpicks

Instructions

1. Pick some of your favorite pictures from the coloring book and cut out the pages.

2. Tape a piece of wax paper over the page so it covers the entire picture. You need to be able to see the picture through the wax paper.

3. Color in the picture using the glitter glue. All of the colors must touch each other. You can use a toothpick to push the glue sections next to each other. Be liberal with the glue so that you cannot see the wax paper underneath.

4. Let the glue dry for about 24 hours.

5. Peel the wax paper off the back of the dried glue picture, which is now the window cling. The glitter glue will hold together. The Thanksgiving-themed cling will stick to the window and can be moved to any position you like.

Tips & Warnings

• Use simple pictures the first time you do this. It is easier to get used to working with the glue if you have large, easy shapes to fill in.
