Great vid, Kittie! Let's hope it leads to more and more windowkins being made.

you can bring your pattern to staples/ local office printing type store and have them make a enlarged photo copy

You can scan in your printed pattern, and then use any program to enlarge it. I actually used Print Shop 21, and enlarged the print 183% (I figure it all out before I figure out what I need to enlarge it to), And it prints out on 4 sheets or how ever many it needs, and I just tape them together. :)

I am really surprised that she wasn't in the video more then that! That was Shelby (the 1 year old. . ) She was howling 90% of the time while I was working on that. She was just talking away like someone was listening. . heheheh

Alot of printer software will let you print in poster mode. can choose how many sheets. I made all my window kins out of 1/2 blue foam painted black and they fit into the slots my storm windows fit in.
