Inspired by observing some glass cooktop cleaner, my mom was reminiscing about decorating the windows with snowflakes when she was a child. She would use a glass cleaner that went on pink but, dried white, dabbed on through stencils. The cooktop cleaner dries to a similar finish.
After a trip to the local craft stores yielded disappointment instead of stencils she liked, I cut some out of cheap cardstock on the Glowforge (I ordered some mylar sheets for any similar future use).
Fantastic! (adjective, not the cleaner–since I don’t think that would work in this case anyway). Great idea–and so much easier to clean up than paint…
My mother asked me just yesterday if I could cut out some snowflakes for outside decorations. (Still researching what I can spray on cardstock to help the snowflakes survive what looks to be a damp December.)
She has some nice big picture windows looking out on her patio…
