Window Cling Shapes

For Christmas, my husband gifted me this AMAZING Cricut Explore Air 2. Not only did he get me the machine, but the "Everything Bundle"--a.k.a. the best starter set ever! It came with all the tools I needed to get started along with some supplies too! Among the supplies I found a few rolls of Window Cling. "What am I going to use this for?" I remember thinking.

Well today we woke up to yet another snowy day. Not uncommon for Wisconsin, but I was running out of ideas to keep my toddler busy indoors! While pouring myself a cup of coffee, I saw my Cricut machine sitting on our table (I had been playing with it the day before) and thought "Why not make Little E some shapes out of window cling!"

This kid seriously LOVES window stickers. He played with them all throughout the Christmas season--just a few sheets of them that I had picked up from the dollar store. So why hadn't I thought to use the Cricut Window Cling for something my toddler could play with!?

I started by opening my Cricut Design page and dropped all of available shapes onto the canvas.

I'm not going to post a full photo tutorial because apparently I accidentally deleted this project on my account. However, It is a pretty self-explanatory for a beginner Cricut project. Just arrange the shapes on the canvas and send it to your Cricut to cut.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED A CRICUT TO MAKE THESE WINDOW CLINGS. You could definitely purchase the window cling film and draw/trace shapes onto the paper side and just cut them out with a scissors! The machine just makes things so quick and easy.

I got a little creative with some Valentine's Day hearts out of red window cling too!! So much fun! And so easy!!!

My Cricut peeps--What other cool things have you made using the Cricut Window Cling material???

Hope you enjoy!
