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…

Very nice look!! Love the idea.
Love the idea
Will it work on plexi glass
I have never heard of such, But sure am Happy I Have Now! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME ♡ I HAVE A QUESTION THOUGH, ONE PERSON SAID IT SHRINKS? ANOTHER SAID SHE DIPS THE WHOLE THING IN AND PUTS IT ON? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME YOUR OPINION ON THIS? THANK YOU ,, CHERYL
You can put material on walls like wallpaper with liquid starch. Just spread the starch on, and then apply material like wallpaper. I learned this on one of those home shows. It works wonderful on paneling. when you want it off you just pull it off, and then wash the walls. I bet you could do it on windows too.
Cool!
Cute but what about attracting ants?
they make contact paper that looks just like lace.
I love this because even renters can do this as it cleans off completely.
for boys rooms, you can use tulle maybe. love the idea.
Not tried it-yet- but for a not so feminine look how about wide tulle? I think nylon netting would be too open but tulle comes in 6 inch and up for width. So many different colors and inexpensive too.
would ‘critters’ eat the cornstarch
Mary Hixon i asked too cuz i live n hawaii
my mom made me corn dolls for thanksgiving one yr, the cockroaches in hawaii feasted on them
ewwwwww. i always wanted to keep my grand kids’ art work – you know: macaroni necklace, paper mache items but just NOT a good idea! with cornstarch base on window can’t you just SEE the Bugs licking them clean? shiver
A layer of cheesecloth might be good for those that don’t want lace. Has anyone tried tissue paper?
yes! all kinds of insects that you don’t want in your home! corn starch is food item! same with home made clay (flour, water, salt) home made glue (flour & water i think) for paper mache projects. finished things look NICE but it will attract Bugs! i’ve even tried coating finished item with clear paint or varnish but they will still eat it up 😛
Contact paper works much better and no mess.
i double your eeewwwwwww
Beautiful!
Thank you Mary! That was my suspicion…..
I will do this on my bathroom window
love this ,can it be removed when ready for a change?

burlap will work for more masculine look
would a double layer of colored tulle work for a boy?
thinking of perhaps blue background with Superman symbol for example?
any symbol or just the colors.
This is a cool idea….
I also know this can be done with a bottle of liquid starch.

So cool, I think I’d try burlap even for a boys room.
insects would love the cornstarch. 🙁
Looks like the vinyl cling sheets you buy…much cheaper!
I have used liquid startch to hang fabric for wall paper, window treatments on the glass and all kinds of things. Just use it straight from the bottle
cool!
For masculine/boys room…how about a mesh type camouflage fabric?
Check this out Minnie Rongholt let’s do this in your bathroom!
Thanks Mary for that information. I didit the DIY way and the lace kept falling off. Does it just say Matte Medium on bottle?
I’m thinking burlap would work for a boy.
El Caches
I love this…Great idea…
cool
lots of luck; does not stay on the lace pulls it off, or pulls off when dry, but design on window still pretty
contact paper is the devil’s work
I’ve done liquid starch and fabric on walls to create a different look. It stayed up for 10 years until I took it down when we moved. Didn’t attract bugs.
neat
Wonder if the lace with cornstarch will be difficult to remove from the window
can the window be cleaned?
You could go to craft store and buy the largest width fabric sheer bow ribbon. They have it in many colors and designs and it is sheer enough to do the same as lace
use “cut outs” to make a montage, it would obscure things
Thinking that the netting material that folks use to make “favors” for weddings and such could work for a Boy’s room?????
I have seen sheer fabric (curtains) with deer, birds, etc. This is a neat idea.
