Making Window Clings with Peelable Glass Paint is so easy to do and strangely satisfying!
All you have to do is find a glass or plastic tray or plate, pour Peelable Glass Paint into it, drop cookie cutters into the wet paint, then set aside to dry.
The drying process will take a few days depending on how thickly you’ve poured it, but once it’s done you free the shapes from the cutter moulds, then stick them on windows, mirrors and even painted walls.
These great window clings can be used time and time again. Peel them off and stick them back on!
We are lucky enough to work with and supply many brilliant companies, one of which being The Bike Shed Co based down the road from us in Bristol.

Thorndown’s Peelable Glass Paint makes transforming your home for the seasonย enjoyable and easy to do. Paint windows and objects on your own or with the kids, creating a Halloween Haven or Christmas Grotto.
It’s so easy to use Peelable Glass Paint and a great way of reusing lots of old household objects like jam jars.
Peelable Glass Paint is made using a 100% recycled plastic resin, is non-toxic, low in odour and virtually VOC free so great to use for everyone including the environment and kids.
Using stencils is an easy way to get great results and you can paint on with a brush or using a sponge, like an old washing up sponge.
You can paint it on glass windows and items, plastic, tiles and any shiny surface, then peel it off when you no longer want or need it. Old coatings can be sent back to our factory in Glastonbury where they will be processed for recycling.

Timber arbours create great spaces in a garden for relaxation. There are many beautiful designs to choose from to suit all spaces and budgets.
If you paint them in Thorndown Wood Paint the timber will be protected against damage caused by UV and weather, and they’ll look beautiful for years and years!
Whether you decide to paint in a pastel shade, heritage tone, or UV Clear, there are thousands of choices available in our online store.
We painted two arbours by Hutton Garden Products and took them to The Bishop’s Palace in Wells for a photo shoot, showing just how easy it is to create beautiful spaces with a bit of colour.
Selecting the right colour palette is such an important part of garden design. It has to be one that suits the environment or the landscape that the garden sits in, and reflect the personality of the owner.
Of course plants play a fundamental role but painting boundary fencing and garden structures in a wood paint colour can radically change a garden design for the better.
In this feature we share some simple tricks of how to use wood paint colours in garden design.
Making Window Clings with Peelable Glass Paint is so easy to do and strangely satisfying!
