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…

Totally Awesome! With as much as I like to change the look in my house, this is a great quick fix solution.
For a boys room, why not burlap? There are different textures of it.
Cornstarch would go mouldy
Wow.
water and bubble wrap for a quickie hide
love it
be easier to use a lace blind and the window can be cleaned ? not sure about this one
my hubby likes flowers as much as i do but i get it
looks real good i might do this in my living room
i have fly’s so i would have to change this offen but love it
I have the lace, and the corn starch, and definitely the windows… but then i started thinking about cleaning it. I think that might be really tricky?
Looks like a great idea to solve a similar problem in my home!
I had a thought for those asking for a more masculine fix. I remember seeing where people would paint scenes on screens for privacy. Painting any scene you want on cheese cloth then allowed to dry, could be cut & used the same way. I would only say I would use an acrylic that will not run when wet & be sure to place the painted side away from the window to prevent any transfer.
There are all kinda of prints in mesh fabric that could be used for a masculine look!
awesome idea!
Cute idea!
Could use any color sport mesh fabric instead of lace…to make it more masculine or color-coordinated
Leah Byrd i just solved my bathroom and front door problem!
What happens when there’s condensation or steam on the window?? I’d want to know before attempting all the work….pretty though!
You can buy frosted contact paper which is much easier and less of a mess. I can see fabric holding on to dust. I wonder what happens when you try to wipe it down?
Good idea until the core starch begins to mildew half way through winter.
nice but not very private. you can still see through the lace
Maybe you could use sheers or sheer material in a more masculine color
even just a plain old generic sheer curtain would work…this is a really great idea. I have neighbors who have that plastic film on their windows that are at street level….something like this would be so much nicer looking.
I need this on my door window.
Love this !
There is mesh camouflage hunters use as face covers, comes in tree bark
you can do this with liquid starch, too. that’s a good way to put fabric on your walls.
Cornstarch and water IS liquid starch. Only much less expensive.
I wonder what shower steam would do to it?
Really cool idea, better than buying that plastic stuff and attaching it.
Hellen, is this calling you………………
Mike we have been doing that for quite a while.
We clean our windows with corn starch — not cover them up. Makes a beautiful shine!
Love this idea, one question though. Would bugs be attracted to the cornstarch?
How do you remove it? Is it difficult?
How long does it stay put?
I like this. Beautiful!
I like this Have anyone done it ?
What if you change your mind & don’t want it on your window anymore? Is it easy to remove?
Yes It’s Called water
A few years ago I bought some camo netting material in a sporting goods store. It would work GREAT in a Man Cave!!!!
Marlene Minor we might could do this on the side window. let light in but no one could see in.
Maybe some sheer camo fabric for boys .
Take a trip to a fabric store or a department store that sells fabric and just look around for ides.
saves having to get rod & hanger tabs of no nails in or around window
wow a total transformation! love this simple idea with gorgeous result!
To make it masculine you could use sheer curtains instead of lace.
very cool idea
You can also use modge podge. I did that to a window in my kitchen and pressed fall leaves into it as it dried.
I must do this…. I’ve got 3 windows that I’d like to shield but let in more light!
Tissue paper snowflakes.
Going too try it in the bath.
