I actually made these window cling Jack O’Lanterns with my Silhouette last October, and as I got them out again this year I decided they really needed to be shared with you all! I put them on the sliding glass door in our basement playroom, and my 3 year old loves making different combinations of silly faces on her pumpkin. I don’t think this one is limited to the younger crowd – if you work in an office, this would be fun to put out where people can play around with it when they stop in to chat!
Let me tell you, if you’ve never tried to cutting window cling material with your Silhouette, you need to. It was so easy, and the possibilities are endless! I purchased this window cling package on Amazon, and it cut beautifully with my Silhouette.
The cut settings I used were blade 4, speed 5, and thickness 23. That gave me a perfect “kiss cut” – the window cling material cut through, but the paper backing did not. The material is pretty thick and at first I didn’t think it had cut all the way through, but I was able to easily peel up the pieces!
There’s a neat “Build a Jack-o-Lantern” set of designs from the Silhouette Design Store I used to create all my face pieces. I cut 2 pumpkins, 2 stems, 4 mouths, 4 noses, and 4 sets of eyes – but you can go as crazy or as simply as you want!
So fun!
Do you have any other ideas for projects with window cling material? I still have some scraps I need to use up :-)

Window Cling is great for Silhouette! I have recently discovered it. I have just used it to cut out leaf shapes in fall colours and put them on the windows in the kitchen – some drifting down the window, the others a thick carpet at the bottom of the window. It looks very pretty. For Easter I am thinking of creating a grass border for the window and put pastel coloured eggs – with dots, lines, chevrons etc cut out on the grass – make sure these are shapes that are all connected to make sticking them up unfussy. You can also use scraps to decorate hurricane lanterns and flower vases.
These are great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Corinna. I love the idea of using smaller scraps on vases – I’d never thought of that!
