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…

this is pretty cool!
Does everyone know about this site.
Michael Guida That’s cold! If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all!
Caprice
Good idea
That is a great idea. I am going to try it soon.
yes yes yes doing this well at some point after i recover from knee surgery but this is exactly what i need so cool
maybe mosquito netting for boys or that light weight camo
Michael Guida How do you know the difference?
For a boys room you might be able to use tfhe triple gauze fabric.
Cheesecloth also might work for a boys room.
This is awesome
How about using colored or patterned tissue paper? One would give a stained glass effect; the other would have a design suitable for a boys’ room.
what happens if the window sweats ?
Will work for my bathroom. I like my curtains open and I live in the country, going to try. It should be easy to change if you want.
Or maybe use lace window valence with trucks etc for a boy’s room. They’re cheap and worth cutting up if you can get it sheer enough.
great idea for bathroom,window, or any lover windows that you want covered but light still to come in. It is like the gallery glass in some ways. I used that before and loved it .
My BIL painted cornstarch on rear window of our car when we got married & “wrote” Just Married with his finger. Even after multiple washings the texture of the glass had changed and in every morning’s dew fall and light sprinkle of rain we could still see “Just Married”. Had to be sure to sell the car during dry spells.
Mr. Guida, can you say SNOB???
QUESTION: Would this work on walls?
Yes. sort of. Make starch like you’d use for ironing. Let it cool, roll it on the wall and place your fabric. Roll starch over the top of fabric and allow it to dry. It can be vacuumed if it gets dusty, or you can pull it down, wash it, and re-apply. I did a wall in my daughter’s bedroom with blue and white gingham when she was 6. Don’t do that. Too convenient for playing tic tac toe, lol.
I use liquid starch, found in the laundry section, to put fabric on walls.
Michael Guida Don’t be a twatwaffle.
Interesting.
Michael Guida I don’t think we even have “dime stores” any more. However just because you get something at a thrift store doesn’t mean it’s “cheap.”
Just wondering if any moisture or condensation hits the window due to weather changes will not make it come off?
Buy a lace that isn’t flowery – and then tea die it or color dye it for a masculine look.
Contact paper would do the same and would be a lot easier.
Brilliant!
i used liquid starch same steps. it is easy and can be taken off, just wet material and pull off. they look nice.
Same here – liquid starch. Never heard of putting it on windows before BUT I lined my kitchen cabinets with my favorite strawberry decorated fabric, soaked in liquid starch after being pre-cut to fit the space. I rubbed out any bubbles, let it dry and the fabric was stiff, stayed in place marvelously. It went with my strawberry decorated dishes and serving pieces.
Love it!!
I think for a boy you could get some camo net and use that instead of lace.
Just don’t use gingham in a kid’s bedroom. They play tic tac toe on it.
If applied with two coats of starch, one under, one over, you just vacuum it to remove dust. It can easily be removed, washed, and reapplied. It’s also easy to change the fabric if you want to redecorate, and fabric gives you more options.
So neat
danielle
also liquid starch works the same way. no mixing no mess
how cool and pretty too !!!
Good Idea
or just buy Contact
Wouldn’t it be nice in the winter if you could find lace with snowflakes on it.
great idea!
That is cool
OMG!!! stop the world! geezzzzz
This might act to detour the birds from hitting the windows too! Great idea
love this idea
What if you used like a camo mesh. For boys
What if you used like a camo mesh for boys
Michael Guida ? well la te da …..
Camo mesh for boys
that is really cool and they also sell spray can paint type ; been thinking about trying it ??
If there was some sheer fabric that looked like chain mail.
I wonder how well heat or cold affects this
