I found this while organizing the computer paper drawer. My mom had given it to me some time ago. She is always using her computer creatively and passing on the fun, so I finally thought I would try something to amuse our grandson. He likes owls and there are cute designs all over the internet. I simply copied one into my pictures and then printed it onto the Cling Art vinyl like it was paper. Then cut it out and peel off the backing.
Here he is resting on the bar of their front door side light. There's another one wide awake on the other side. They turned out cute and our grandson noticed them right away and began hooting.
A few tips for future use, however, are 1. be sure to change the paper to "glossy" or else the printer will slide down the lower half of his body too fast. Since he still looked a little feathery I couldn't throw him in the garbage and try again. 2. The vinyl sticks quite well after several placements, but if the child has any moisture on his hands the ink begins to smere. Hmmm...not sure if it's my ink problem (normal that I know of) or a problem with the vinyl. Anyway, until I figure that one out it's just look for now. Mommy can fly him to other windows.
Have a good day!
