I always look forward to your tutorials. Your pace and knowledge of the project makes me feel like, yeah I can do this,. Thank you Angie
Thank you for the kind comment!
Love love all your tutorials ❤
Thank you so much!
I love window clings, now I can make my own personalized ones. Thanks Angie for sharing. I learn something new every time I watch your great videos.
I made black window clings at Halloween and got lots of compliments on how cute they were. Thanks for reminding me to use it for Valentines, too! ❤️ You are my “go to” person for a very calm, clear explanation of how to do soooo many things with my Cricut!
Oh yes! Valentines Day. I love adding red and pink hearts.
YAY! Happy to help!
Yes! Very organized in what you will say and how it is said. I'm a show me person. With you, I understand with just your words
I've never seen the frosted, so cool.
Thank you, I didn’t even know about this material and that Cricut sell it.
Hello Angie! So very glad you made a tutorial on Cricut Window Cling, I've had black and white for years and had not seen any
videos on it. This past summer Birds kept flying into the very large windows across the back of my Great Room so I decided to
cut Bird images to stick on the Windows. Putting the Birds Window Clings on has made such a difference. Cricut Window Cling
can be used for so much and is under used in my opinion. Love your videos! Thanks again Angie!❤
Definitely under used!
@@AngieHolden I saw your comment about using on your sidelight...have to try that too. Thanks!
I bought the removable vinyl to make seasonal silhouettes, when we went to remove them after a couple months they were terrible. The adhesive was way too strong to be called removable. I triple checked it was supposed to be removable. Hours of scraping and picking. I would only use the removable vinyl for a car window decal. I’m going to try the clings instead. Love your video, very helpful.
Happy to help!
That window cling would be great for a sliding glass door - you hear of people walking into their glass doors especially just after they have been cleaned, this window cling would make it easier to see the glass
This is a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!
This is so true! HA!
Thank you! I need to replace what I have on our sliding glass door. I can make something so much more fun!
Hello! I have seen stained glass window versions... can you do a tutorial on those?
Wow I loved this.... so I had an idea💡 . Could you use this as temporary etched effect under a transparent plate or on a mirror?
Definitely! As long as you know it is temporary on the plate. Could be fun for a party platter!
Good job on the tutorial. I would love some ideas for party foil. Not confetti or those twirlie things that hang up. If I use window cling as a privacy can you see thru it at night with the lights on? Thanks Angie 🪟❄️❄️❄️
I am not a huge fan of party foil at least not yet! If I find something I like I will do a video! With the frosted, you can definitely see shapes through it at night if that makes sense?
@@AngieHolden Thanks Angie. The frosted would be fine in the kitchen. I always feel like I’m on display at night! Maybe with the party foil I’ll just make a bag of confetti and give it to my daughter! 😂😂
Thanks for this video!
Do you think it would cling to a smooth shower door? I have a standing shower and not sure if the door is actually glass or acrylic. I wonder if vinyl would be better 🤔
I feel like vinyl may be better just because of the moisture? Not sure?
Very good video. Thanks for sharing. Question- Can you layer the material, would it stick to itself. I have an idea
With the rough texture on the top, it really doesn't stick well to itself.
I’d like to display a set of numbers on a window. The numbers would be visible from the outside. Can I affix vinyl numbers to window cling (using cling as a base) so they be easily removed and reused? IE the window cling might be 4” x 12” with 3” numbers affixed to it.
Thanks for the info! I tried to cut window cling over the weekend & it didn’t cut. Any ideas? I have a maker, put the backside down on my vinyl & chose the window cling cut option. I see the outline, but it didn’t cut all the way through so I could weed it.
Hmm. Maybe do an additional pass. You can hit the go button again WITHOUT unloading your mat and it will cut over the same area one more time.
i like this video😬
Thank you for this 🙂. I bought Cricut window cling but haven’t used it yet. I appreciate knowing that I might not be able to choose a very intricate design. Any suggestions for how to select seasonal ones, beyond basic shapes such as hearts, stars, that would work well? Do any cut fonts work well enough to create a message to display on a window that can be easily read?
Sure! I would probably choose a chunkier font if you want people to be able to read it from the street!
@@AngieHolden Thank you, Angie!
Birds occasionally crash into my kitchen window because they see the reflection of a tree on it. I bought the frosted window cling but need to know if I should attach it to the inside of the window or the outside. If I attach it to the inside, will they still see the tree reflection? If I attach it to the outside, will it hold up to the rain? Thanks for all your wonderful videos.
It needs to be on the inside. Not sure if they will see it or not?
Those snow flakes are really great! I got some orange and black window cling for Halloween and made a bunch of different pumpkins and other things. I tried to find other colors of window cling for Christmas, but I couldn't find any. I haven't looked at your link yet. Hopefully it will help me find other colors.
PS - No such luck. The only other option besides black and orange is the frosted like you were using.
I found a red when hunting around as I thought about doing hearts! HA! I also have silver here but opted for frosted!
@@AngieHolden Where did you find them? I looked at Amazon, 143vinyl and HTVront.
Great tutorial! I was wondering - can you draw on the material with Cricut pens, or layer with different colors? Thanks
I don't think drawing on it would work and I haven't tried layering!
@@AngieHolden thanks
a little late to the party! I had a question about the window cling...can you reserve them if you are doing seasonal clings? Do they stick back to paper easy enough for storage?
I would stick them to the same paper you removed them from and yes that should work.
Hi, 1. Is the frosted window cling can see thru at night from outside when you turn on the lights?
2. How can you identify it's the window clings? I have materials that I don't know what they are. Thanks
It would NOT be sticky at all. I would say you can see outlines through this material. We have it on our door side lights.
using the window cling, can you reverse cut it and have it on your window so the frosted part shows better outside?
The smooth side definitely sticks better to the glass then the textured or frosted side.
I have some white Cricut window cling and it has turned gray after a while. I guess I shouldn't use it on my car?! Any idea how to fix this? OR just use removable vinyl to make stickers for the outside of the car window.
Probably from the UV rays over time. The product will deteriorate.
Can this be used on exterior windows, like a car windshield or window? Or would you have to put in inside the car window?
I would NOT use this on a car on outside. It has no adhesive so it would fall off.
Hi, would I be able to use a rainbow prism window cling from Amazon with a Cricut machine? If so, how should I prepare the mat for cutting it? Would I be able to use the backing that's already on it, and stick that to the mat? I'm a beginner and haven't even bought a Cricut yet but thinking about trying it out for making window cling rainbow suncatchers.
I think you can use it this same way!
@@AngieHolden Thanks! So it doesn't have to be a Cricut brand material then?
Hi Angie I am wondering you have ever used window clings on a mirror?
I have before a long time ago. It did work.
hello, wondering if this could work on a car window? How easy would it peel while driving?
It would come right off. Try this: ua-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/v-deo.html
I would love to make different colored leaves for the fall, what would you recommend?
I would just find window cling in the colors you want to use.
Can I find leaf shapes in design space
Generally there are free ones in design space for that.
could you use this for chalkboard decorating?
I don't think it would stick!
Can you sublimate on frosted window cling?
Not that I know of.
How would you suggest to store the window clings in between uses?
I would keep the backing paper they come on and reapply them to it then roll them up and store in a tube.
@@AngieHolden Thank you
Is car decal use the same window cling material?
Definitely not! Here is more on car decals: ua-cam.com/video/593RB8Be2s8/v-deo.html
Can I layer adhesive on cling?
I don't think it would work but I haven't tried!
How do you get window cling in colors other than white, frosted, orange && black
You would just have to hunt for a source.
Where else can I find the window cling in colors
I know Cricut has some colors but I haven't ordered other brands.
Can you use this outside where it would be in the weather?
I don't think it would stick very long outdoors.
@@AngieHolden Thank you! I was going to apply this at a friends business on her window. Can you still see the frosted look if i put it on the inside? I guess i will reverse the pattern for inside as well?
Yes you can see from the ouside.
Can you sublimate on this?
I don't think so but I haven't tried.
Do they come in other’s colors
Yes it does.
I tried to do my french doors for privacy and unless you spray your glass time to time, it peels off. It is not a longterm solution. Wish I knew that.
Hmmmm...I haven't had any issues. Do yours sweat? Maybe the moisture is affecting it!
@@AngieHolden I asked in Cricut online and they suggested I take a spray bottle each time it starts to curl off and lightly spray the glass then place it down again. I may have togo to Home Depot and buy their product to see if that curls off. I have done one side if my french door and silly to do the other side with this issue. Almost want to dab 4 corners with glue.
sometimes , if you spray a little bit of water on your window , it's more easy for your snowflake to stick on the glass
Yep! That is why I mentioned the wet application method in the video!
@@AngieHolden I’m sorry , I’m French and not fluent , I missed the point
Can it be printed on?
I don't think so.
Is the window cling a Cricut brand?
What I am using here is Cricut brand.
i have clear what do you use with clear idk why i got it lol
I am not sure what I would do with clear! HA!
Is there a printable version of a window cling?
Not that I know of.
