Directions
- Select a few clipart images and print them using MS Paint across multiple pages. Tape the pages together, then carefully cut out the shape to create a stencil.
- Place the stencil on the back of a roll of self-adhesive craft vinyl and trace the outline. Cut along the traced lines. If your design is wider than the vinyl, divide it into separate pieces before cutting.
- Wipe down the window surface thoroughly with a cleaner so the vinyl will adhere properly.
- Press the vinyl pieces onto the window, aligning the edges carefully. Where pieces meet, overlap them slightly to prevent any gaps.
- Drape two or three strands of orange string lights around the border of the window, securing them in place.
