This DIY is quick, easy, fun and cheap. What could be better!?
If you have any windows in your home or apartment where you want the natural light but need a little privacy, this is a truly lovely solution.
Granted, it is a bit feminine but I am wondering how we can use this idea and make it masculine, as well…
Maybe you can think of some ideas as you scroll down the next page…

Wonder how easy this is to remove if you wanted to change the design?
Warm water will take it right off. We did this in an apartment years ago.
I was just wondering the same thing, did you ever find an answer?
Just apply water and peel the lace off, then wash the window.
wondering the same. how do you remove it? just peel it off? how about the texture? how do you make it look like the way it used to?
Cornstarch is water soluble. Just soak it for a few minutes with hot watr
what an awesome idea! love it!
This would be great on a bathroom window. Just might try it.

Neat idea can’t see in but let light in.

Nifty idea
My security system says this is a bad link!
Iam going to do in my glass cabinets
Couldn’t see finished window.
I saw this same technique used with very pretty printed sheets on an apartment wall because she was not allowed to paint it. And when she was ready to move she simply peeled the sheets off the walls and gave them aa good rinse with water. :))
How creative. Feels old country and so romantic. Not sure about the practicality, i.e. washing the window, the corn starch peeling off, etc. On the other hand, it is just beautiful.
Great better than frosted contact thanks

Love this tutorial & an awesome idea for your windows & im going to do this on my windows
Hi
I just moved to a new apartment and I tried this and it works. I am amazed. Thanks for sharing
I did this with starch and it turned brown. Will the cornstarch stay white?
How well does this work in the evening when you have your lights on?
The question about plain fabric.. I took Muslim and dipped it in liquid starch and applied to window with wide plastic putty knife, making sure to push firmly into edges. Allow to dry and trim access with exacto knife.
If you don’t want to use corn starch, use hoge poge, glue. Both corn starch and decoupage glue come off easily with warm water.
I’ve tried this and it only last about a month before it peels off. I remade the cornstarch mixture as directed and reapplied. After a week, the lace is peeling off again.
You could use torn up pieces of different colored tissue paper. To match them them of their room, or tissue paper with designs. Just like you would with glue and paper sacks on the wall. It would take longer or you could use the larger sheets, unborn. They are 5hen enough to all9w some light through.
I would like to know how you go about removing this from the window???
WISE DIY. Helpful hints and ideas
Amy Norris…Thought of the sliding door…
For masculine look use shear material of camo or trucks or any sport. Shear fabric w almost any patterns can be found at fabric stores. Shears are found in curtain/drapery user in Walmart.
Why not Mod Podge?
Mod podge is hard to remove if your tired of the look. The cornstarch wipes right off after soaking it with some water to losen it up

This brings back memories of when I was a young child (many years ago) my Mom use to mix a paste of corn starch and water, then color it with food color and then paint 3D scenes on the Windows. As I remember it was really nice but took a really long time.
