Is Cricut window cling permanent?
It works great on any glass surface, and it is less permanent than vinyl or paint, making it a neat option for swapping out holiday decorations. Cricut Window Cling is probably one of the less utilized Cricut materials. For this reason, it can often make crafters nervous the first time that they create with it.
Do you mirror the Cricut window cling?
You will soon see that Window Cling does not transfer to your project in the same way standard vinyl does. Therefor, if you've created a directional design (especially one that includes text), you MUST select 'Mirror' in the cut settings (just as you would for heat-transfer vinyl).
