Or do you think it will wreck it? I want to paint a temporary pic on my playroom window and being the impatient mare I am :blush: I want to do it tonight, so I don't have time to get proper glass paints. Will it work do you think? Anyone tried it?

it works best if you mix a tiny bit of pva in with the paint. The flexibility stops it drying out and cracking when the sun is on the window. Otherwise it works fine! x

think you will get away with it if it is an untouchable window as the miniute some one touches it or spills or splashes water it will be gone and all your hard work

oo i just had an idea paint it and once dried maybe cling flim over the top to protect it longer

just hope all the children think they can paint on all your windows lol

good luck

Thats what I thought, wasnt sure if you could get washable glass paint. Poster is def the way to go then

Add some washing up liquid to the paint intstead of water it makes it easier to get off.
