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…

Great idea for privacy issues
great idea!!
I did this with colored tissue paper on my glass front door and side windows. Beautiful … just tare the paper into pieces and paste it on with the liquid starch.(I used a paint brush ) To take it off ( months later ) just spritz with water let it soak a few minutes and scrape off .
With a slightly thicker mixture you can attach thin cotton fabric to short walls…like hanging wallpaper, but it’s fabric.
How clever. Beautiful
I use liquid starch. Pick your fabric, completely wet, then squeeze out excess and put on wall, door, or window. Run a towel or sponge over fabric to make it totally flat, no air bubbles. When u want to change for something different, peel it off and wash. I have done seasonal fabrics or your favorite team, or whatever you like. I recommend a cotton blend or nothing heavy.
very nice idea! I wonder how can I clean the window after this treatment?
no need for curtains with the pretty windows
How about using solid colored tulle (netting fabric) in a masculine color? Or might experiment with tie dye the tulle into a camo design.
For boys you could use mosquito netting in the camo design.
I love this idea. Might try it on a door.
how about fish net for guys?
Clever!!!
You could even use a tulle. You could even get fancy and use some of the pretty lace trims and add to the lace.
I love this! Thanks so much
What about Tulle? In a “masculine” color? Not sure how well it would work or if any boys would go for it, but it’s an idea.
Sarah Bengtsen this would work in your living room!
Pretty, but I would still want curtains on the windows
We live in a ground floor loft apartment in Atlanta. Have used privacy film for some of the windows, and this would be a good idea for others. But, wondering if the cornstarch would attract bugs?? There is a problem here with bugs
I am afraid the cornstarch would attract bugs here in Atlanta. ??
Liquid starch works, too.
You can also use LIQUID STARCH straight out of the bottle instead of the cornstarch. To remove, just soak with a spray bottle and they will peel right off. Lucy
I used liquid starch… works wonderfully!! just spay water if it starts to pull away!!
They sell halloween lace runners and curtains that have skulls and webs and such maybe u cld use these for a more manly window
Awesome !
to use bubblewrap
Brilliant!!
Does this come off with soap and water/window cleaner???
I am wondering about removal and clean up. Would it be as easy as soap and water?
take drapery sheers and tie die them in camouflage colors for boys rooms, or use plaid or tartan , bandannas, for a western theme
Thank you! I live in Hawaii, too, so corn starch is NOT an option.
I would use modge podge and not cornstarch.
is it easy to remove
I did this in my little girls’ room years ago with just sheer fabric and then painted a castle in the distance for their fairy themed room. did the same for my son but with a more masculine castle and knights
Try Elmer’s school glue, it can be washed off. I used white tissue paper since that’s what I had on hand. Used it on the small windows on my front door to dim the outside house light. Try looking around the craft store for options in the scrapbooking isle, there are plenty of options.
I tried this and the lace did not stick.
Corn starch—- NOT corn SYRUP. There is a difference. Corn starch is a thickener. Corn syrup is a sweetener.
add food coloring
How well does this come off?
Elmers Glue or Modge Podge
i would use burlap for a boys room.
Water down some mod podge. It works great and you don’t have to worry about the bugs
Great idea, thank you.
Thank you very much, great idea!!
Really like this idea.
These things never open for me. I think I am going to have to unfollow this site
Would this work on mirrored wardrobe doors (ugh I hate them) and would it be washable after a long time as we rent??
Matina Martina Hughes good idea for some of your windows
I think you can substitute liquid starch that you find in the laundry detergent Asiel.
That would be neat
Ive used a matte medium to paint windows
Why not use a light weight burlap or even for those of you in bug states like Hawaii and Atlanta. I bet you can get plastic canvas in colors and cut it just a little bigger than window and pop it in. Good luck to all.
I can still see your bum!!!
