DIY Halloween Pumpkin Window Cling Decorations

Its the Halloween time of the year and we all want to do some simple yet catchy decorations and still be within the budget. However there is a lot available at some of the stores that may not be that pricey but when you go at spend money the bill looks like a mountain and not much to decorate.

I would share some simple stuff here that can be re-used too and can also be used as simple craft ideas for kids activities. 


Pumpkin Window Clings or Wall decorations


This one is really simple activity that kids will love and will also make a great decoration.


Items needed are :

- A4 size card stock paper. You can use colored paper or may be white that can be colored with orange
- Orange, green and black paints or sketch markers
- Scotch Tape
- Glitter Glue
- Scissors

You can download the printable stencils from here:

Small
Medium
Large

After downloading print out the stencils on the A4 size paper. You can also print these shapes on a orange color card stock paper. This way one step can be eliminated. However, it will be fun for kids to color them up. I used the orange card stock and here is how it looked.



Once they are printed, carefully cut them our using a scissors. 





And your decorations are ready to be pasted on the windows / walls. Using scotch tape stick them wherever you like.




But to give an additional touch, here is something that you can do. The stem of the pumpkin can be painted green. 




Now the jack-o-lantern window clings are ready to be put on the windows or walls of your choice. Unless you want to give an extra touch :). What I did was just used the inexpensive glitter glue tubes and outlined the eyes and the pumpkins with golden glitter glue. 








Once done lay it on a flat surface to dry. Once dry the decoration is ready for the wall.


Tip:

Use repositionable glue to stick jack-o-lanterns to the windows.
