so...walking past my window the other day...i noticed it was a bit nakie...well...that got me thinking about something i've been wanting to try...hot glue window clings!...
with halloween coming up...figured it would be pretty cool to try ghosts...and was a right!...i loved how they came out!...best part...they actually stuck!...i'm lovin' how imperfect they are...got that ectoplasm look to 'em!...
and of course...i did up a little boo-torial for ya!...
you'll need a clear glass plate, a glue gun, some glue sticks, and what ever spooky shape your wanting to create...i cut these ghosts on my cricut using the happy haunting cart...
place the image under the glass plate...
start tracing the outline with the glue gun...do a pretty thick line...
here's it all outlined!...
now fill 'er in!...be pretty generous with the glue...mine's a little glue gun...and i used 3 sticks to fill it up!...
time to let it cool!...
you'll want to pry the ghost from the plate...it comes off really easily!...now just to draw on the eyes and mouth with a sharpie!...i put my cut out under again just to get the placement right...
and you're all done!...just take the finished ghost and slap it on a window!...aren't they just terror-ific?...
****check out my linky party directory on the sidebar to see where i'm linking to this week!...

This is a really cute idea! I love it!
I wonder if you could stir in white craft paint into the glue before it sets with a toothpick to add color to the glue? If so, you could tint glue orange and do pumpkins or tint it green and do a frankenstein head, etc.! Just curious. -Karen
i do know that they have colored gluesticks...so you can do up tons of different designs...i've also heard some talk of glow in the dark glow sticks...but i'm thinking that's an urban legend!...lol...
NOW THAT IS BEYOND THRIFTY AND SO CREATIVE. Very cute. Thanks for sharing, Jen
Jaryd will get a huge kick out of these if you don't mind me snagging the idea closer to halloween? It's getting harder and harder to entice him to the craftroom the closer he gets to ten. But he'll jump at the chance with this. Thanks for sharing!
hehe such a fun and cute idea.. I love the cheap way to decorate for the season!! I bet the kids will have fun with this too. :) I also enjoyed all your puns! haha youre so funny. :)
Wow, where did you come up with this, its brilliant. Hmm, what all you can do with this, ideas are going off in my little ole head. Would you be a sweetheart and link this up to my new party, I would so LOVE to have you. I am your newest follower, your blog looks totally great, and fun, and FULL of interesting ideas. Thanks for this great tutorial. Bella :)
Sooo cute!!! We did hot glue "melted snowmen" for our tree a couple of years ago - they are one of my favorite ornaments. Same concept except you put down a small loop of clear thread (or fishing line) at the top of the glue. Then while the glue is still hot you add black beads for eyes and a small orange pipe cleaner triangle for the nose.
I will have to give these ghosts at try. Thanks for sharing!
Soooo cute. And simple. Love 'em!

Ingenious!! I love window clings. They remind me of the felt bible story boards from Sunday School. I think this is a great project for me today.
I found your blog through under the table & dreaming.
I love this idea I have 3 year old twin boys that will love all the window art I will be making them.
Thank you for sharing.

This is such a great idea. I am going to have to go out and buy a glue gun.

Oh my goodness this is so cool. I'm guessing you could paint the glue as well. I'm totally trying this out. I need some kind of oosing something or other for a cracked mirror. I'll have to Facebook this idea so I don't forget where I saw it. :-)
OMG This is awesome! Such a cute fun EASY idea!! I will have to try this!
Also, your blogs name is just too funny ;)

tried it, made snowflakes, but they didn't stick to the window. Any suggestions?
Wow..What a nice article you have written for us. Thanks For sharing with us such a good post. Continue to post. What is the best surface to stick window clings?
The best use for clear window clings is the glass surfaces, but these are also known to stick to most smooth surfaces that are also non-porous. And You can use them on metals, plastic, acrylic, and other such surfaces that don’t have pores. A smooth surface ensures no air or water to get through and the window clings to stay in place and maintained.
