See-Through Pictures

See-through pictures make great gifts! You can decorate your windows with these pictures. These pictures can make fantastic decorations for any child's room. Gel medium can be found in your local craft store. We have found that drawn pictures make the best and most original pictures. Some magazine pictures cannot be used because the picture on the back gets "in the way". When using magazine pictures, pick the pictures that have as little on the back as possible.

Materials:

gel medium (found in arts and crafts store)
magazine picture or a picture you have drawn on shiny shelf paper
paint brush


Brush twelve coats of gel on a magazine picture or picture you have drawn on shiny shelf paper. Let the gel dry between the coats. When the gel dries after the last coat, soak the picture in water until you can peel off the paper. Then, you will see that, like magic, the picture is stuck in the gel.
