Looking for more kits

Hi everyone. Years ago, my DB & SiL bought my lovelies some Pebeo window cling paints, which were marvellous fun.
I'd now like to buy some for my GC, but I can't find anything but Christmas ones.
I've trawled, used different inputs but I'm stuck. Does anyone know where else to buy the kits, please?

I've never seen nor heard of them. Why would you want to paint on a window? Are they a toy?
If you can explain exactly why they're for, and what you want to do with them perhaps someone can help you?

I haven’t heard of these but I bought some glass paint and had lots of fun painting plain glass vases. Sorry, I cannot help.

Are these the ‘peel off’ ones Ali08? Outback Yarns have some in their online shop.

Yes, peel off. You can do them on clear file pockets with a picture inside so you can copy the lines. Do the outline first, wait to dry, then do the colours. Once it's all dry you can stick them on windows, notebooks, whatever!

Painting on windows is quite common, especially since the pandemic started.
Have you never seen stained glass windows?
They are an art product but can be used by children and adults.

Amazon stock these. I often paint the windows rather than buy plastic disposable banners.

Thank you, Blossoming.
I think I'll be spending more time, and money, in Outback Yarns. They have loads of things! xx

Feelingmyage55,

Yes, that's where the pics are from. But I wanted to see more choice. I used to buy them from 'Lovelys' an art shop near us, where we could just buy the tubes we wanted, but they don't seem to stock them now.

I tried Outback Yarns but I've such a time with them. I ordered the paints and something else. A few days later I realised I'd not had an email back from them. So I messaged them. Then there was a refund, without explanation. Messages back & forth just to find out why I'd been refunded - no problem with the refund - I finally got a satisfactory answer, of sorts, yesterday....they'd ordered them in but there had been delays, it had gone down on their computer as received but they hadn't received them! Oh what an absolute palaver!!
