With a few simple materials and a bit of imagination, you'll whip up creepy designs that will send a shiver down the spine of anyone passing by. So grab your crafting supplies and let's get started!
What you'll need
- Craft glue
- Food coloring
- Optional splash of dish soap
- Glitter
- Wiggly eyes
- Plastic sleeve
- Halloween templates
How it works
-
To make it easy to peel off your spooky window art later, there's a little secret trick. Add a tiny splash of dish soap to the craft glue. This prevents the pictures from sticking too strongly to the window.
-
If you like colors, you can tint the glue with food coloring. This way, you can create spooky pumpkins in orange, ghosts in white, or spiders in black. Just add a few drops to the glue and mix well. Now you have colored glue that makes everything even spookier.
-
Download the templates from the Grubenfuchs app and print them out. Place the template in a plastic sleeve. Using the glue straight from the bottle, trace the lines of the template. This is really fun, and you can already see the spooky pictures taking shape!
-
Once you're done tracing, it's time for the glitter. Sprinkle the glitter over the still wet glue. The glitter will stick and make your window art sparkle beautifully in the light.
-
For an extra spooky effect, you can press a few wiggly eyes into the wet glue. These eyes make your designs irresistibly creepy! And who can resist a ghost with crooked eyes?
-
Now you just need to be a little patient. Let your window art dry for a whole day. The glue will set, and the pictures can then be easily peeled off the sleeve. Once they are completely dry, you can carefully remove them and stick them to a window.
-
Now you have your very own spooky window art for Halloween! They look great on any window and create a creepy atmosphere. Whether it's ghosts, pumpkins, or bats... with a little creativity, you can turn your home into a real haunted house.
