Every now and again I will see a really cute window cling at the dollar store or Walmart, but never really want to use them on my windows. I have bought a couple to put on my clear cookie jar for different holidays, but otherwise don't use them anywhere else. I just bought one of those insulated plastic cups with a straw that resemble the fast food cups, and wondered if I could make a Temporary Christmas cup by attatching my gingerbread window cling to it and I love it...It worked on my travel coffee mug too (it has a plastic shell). I realized I could use the window clings to attatch onto everyday glasses, pitchers, vases, utensil crocks, the outside of ceramic bowls and the udersides of clear plates to turn an everyday item into different holiday themes. I just passed up a cute little happy face guy holding a balloon, thinking he would be cute to have for my kids birthdays.......now I think I will go back and use him to make a special birthday plate for my kids birthdays. I think I'll be on the lookout for another one to add to the clear plates at the dollar store for the neighbors cookie plate.
edited to add.... I noticed some window clings have more of a transparent background and have the same vivid colors on both sides. These can easily attatch to the bottom of a glass plate by flipping it in the reverse. The ones that are more vivid on one side, can still be applied with the good side showing through the plate but, you have to wet the good side before attatching it to the bottom of the plate.
