Yes! Thanks so much Cyndi! What a great response. Now to find some chalk markers!

In reply to Barb Masinton.

Good question Barb,

My window tangle test was only 17' x 11' (43.18 cm x 11/27.94 cm) so when I removed it, it was easy peasy. I simply swiped a somewhat more than damp sponge across it and, after rinsing out the sponge, repeated this a second time to remove the initial smear. Then I dried the area and there was no trace of any chalk. Removing a larger area, I'd expect to be as easy, it would just take more time.

For any slippages (or things you want to change), it's more difficult in that you have to be more precise so as to not wipe off lines you want to keep. In this instance, I wrapped a piece of damp paper towel around my index finger to remove the slip up. Still, I did remove a tiny bit of another line and because I only went over the removed area once, there was a slight white smear. Had this been the real deal, I probably would've gone over it a second time but it was hardly detectable. Tangling a busier pattern or using fill over the faint smear would likely have covered it. (If you do happen to remove something you don't want to, you can go over it with the chalk marker, but Sarah Reeves was right, this is not ideal on already dried lines.)

As for mirrors, the same applies. However, when I did the steam test with a kettle, the chalk design literally started to run down the mirror which made removal even quicker and easier.

Hope this helps.

What a lovely border this tangle makes!! (Somehow I missed it when Linda first published it.) I just tried it with dark grey and turquoise gelly rolls and I LOVE it. 🙂

Wow Cyndi! What a great idea. Question … how well do the chalk marker marks wipe off the window and mirror? Any tips for us about clean-up?
Thanks lots, and happy holidays!

This Christmas craft post is WONDERFUL. Thanks for putting this together.
