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…

What about cheese cloth
Anyone know how this holds up in a bathroom – I would have thought the steam/humidity might cause issues. The pic shows a shower right next to it though, so pondering?
Dee Bolen lol
Can it be removed just as easily?
@ Lindsay Day You could even use this mixture for snowflakes or angels or whatever on your windows for the holidays.
really pretty!
You could camp netting that hunters use in a fabric store or a hunting supplies; hope this helps.
I used the same formula but with some colored cellophane. I cut different colors to mimic a stained glass window. One window I used black permanent marked to make the ‘leaded’ lines, on the glass only(!) as it will wash off the glass. Looked pretty cool.
love this idea for my livingroom window which I cannot clean from the outside!

I love this!
This is a great idea… too bad I just put up the expensive stuff from Lowe’s but will definitely keep it in mind for other windows 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I was thinking even a light weight linen in a solid color would work well for men/boys. I will say that liquid starch also works well.
Actually I’ve seen some amazing lace panels, that would work for guys, with hunting animals and scenes like elk, ducks, fly fisherman, or even just mountains and trees. They are a little more expensive, but beautiful.
I like!
This is one great idea!
WOW!!
its not waterproof though. am i right?
thanks for the tip.
sounds great but I can just see my puppies licking it off as far up as they can reach lol
Is this done on the inside of the window
is this done on the inside of the window?
I like 🙂
you could use food coloring in the corn starch to see if it work and being that it is colored it might work for a boys room
So, do you remove the lace? Confused, is it like a stencil affect?
i’m doing this?
This is beautiful.
many yrs ago, I saw a demo using beaten egg whites and textured rice paper (or any handmade, textured, paper)… it gave the same effect, giving privacy yet allowing diffused light.
How about when you want to remove it? Is it easy to wash off? It’s so pretty but I won’t want to keep it on.
They make window vinyl in a number of prints or textures that you use. Actually there are a lot of products that can work including wax paper, translucent papers, old fashion ‘Glass Wax’ , sponge painting, etc.
lov it
Love this!! …. I will try it 🙂
Gauze fabric.
A man might like lace on his window — and there are a lot of styles of lace. But I was thinking of thin rice paper with a charcoal-pencil drawing on it.
Will it stay up if your window sweats in the winter because it is not doublepane.
How would you take it off if you get tired of it?
You might use a light weight gingham, They come in a variety of colors of blues and greens.
I hate these things….I can NEVER get the video to run leaving me wondering WTH they are talking about
can this be cleaned? or will windex wipe away the cornstarch and the lace will come off?
I don’t think this would work for me- I get condensation on my windows in cold weather!
Would adding a drop of food color, say red or blue add a boy touch and just do strips of sheer in a plaid pattern?
How do you get it off ? And if you have any kind of condensation on your windows in winter Im guessing it would not work either .
Lace is beautiful. In the past I’ve used tissue paper to do the same thing, so many prints to choose from!
faster to just make the cornstarch solution, and dip the panels, cut to size first, in it, and slap ’em on. smooth them, adjust as you need to. one basic step.
I did this and put lace on them. looks Beautiful
GREAT IDEA
how about using burlap in boys room
Stencils for leaves, or deer, fish, guns, etc. Man things are easy. race cars,
Very cool idea. What do you think Bree?
Not going to go through all that trouble to download. Thanks tho for the idea.
