4th of July Window Cling Craft

Make some patriotic decor for the 4th of July!

By Arielle Parfait, Assistant Publisher, Macaroni KID Temecula-Murrieta-French Valley June 25, 2022

Here's a 4th of July Craft that's easy to do, and will double as decor once it's done.


Materials Needed

1.  School Glue

2.  Food Coloring

3.  Plastic folders or sheet protectors

4.  Squirt bottles (optional.  You can just buy the glue already in squirt bottles.  I just had a bulk  school glue in my house so separated it into squirt bottles I had left over from tie dye projects).





Instructions

1.  Mix the desired food colorings with the glue.  You can use a popsicle stick or s'mores sticks         to stir up the glue and food coloring right in the bottle.  

2.  Start designing your window clings on the plastic folders or page protectors.




3.  Let your creations dry (this part takes a long time so have patience).

4.  Peel them off the plastic and stick them on your window!
