Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

How to make a collaged heart with die cut Mod Podge window clings

by

Did you know you can make your own window cling material with Mod Podge and die cutting them into all sorts of fun shapes? Well, you can and it is so easy.

I used all sorts of colorants with the Mod Podge. Above I mixed some Ultra Dye with Mod Podge for a translucent effect.

For this red glitter butterfly I used Plaid Folk Art Ultra red glitter paint with the Mod Podge.

After mixing the various paints and dyes with the Mod Podge on pieces of glass and then letting them dry for a day or two I would peal them off and place them between a sheet of wax paper.

Then I would run them through the Crafter’s Companion Gemini Die Cutting machine using the mixed media dies like this Butterfly one and some of the standard ones too.

To make opaque window clings I used Folk Art paints along with the Mod Podge. For the large butterfly I even used the Glow In the Dark Paint.

I kept mixing up all sorts of paints with the Mod Podge and die cutting all sorts of sizes of window clings in different shapes until I had a nice heart collage. The best part is is I can peal them off and make other arrangements like a straight strip, a large circle or create one large monogram letter.

These would also make a great safety feature on sliding glass doors or a fun way to decorate for a party.
