Add Water. Shake it up. I used epsom salts and beer for my windows, it comes out with that beautiful frosted window look. It also comes off your window with some soapy water..
No way! What an awesome idea! I love how finding out about these cool new ideas from the homies. Velum tacked on would also work. Plus velum comes in pretty patterns and colours. I may still end up doing it one day if I get bored of the white.
Hmm, probably! If you try it, could you let us know? Just did this to the bedroom windows of our new place since my hubby works graveyard and everything helps and the main window faces the morning sun. Also using silver emergency blankets to cut down on light and heat until i get longterm curtains up we spent our first night last night.
This would be a good idea for a short term privacy solution, but not a good long term solution. My mother in law does housekeeping for a living and has seen the glue and other materials from projects like this cause permanent fogging on certain types of windows. What about using that glad press and seal junk?
That would probably work, if you like the little pictures of a hand pressing it onto a bowl or something that are all over it.
Thank you so much! I have been racking and racking my brain on what to do with my French bedroom door leading out to my porch. I may even try to make it wrinkley is that a word on purpose.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had the idea of Mod Podging tissue paper, but many of my ideas go astray. So, thanks to you, I know that it can be done! Great idea! Trim any excess paper sticking out on the edges of the window with your utility knife.
Mix up and add more glue if any corners need to be re-stuck after trimming the excess. Question 3 years ago. Hiya, i know this is quite an old post hoping ur still around: Mine wont stick. I'm desperate bc i live in a storefront, have been experimenting with DIY cornstarch etc based paints for 6 months. Thought I had finally found a solution.
Some of my panels worked fine and are sticking. The later ones I have redone 4x and keep falling off as soon as they dry. How did things hold up with yours? Is it that once the cornstarch has dried it creates residue and the whole thing has to be cleaned, dry and use new tissue paper? I'm getting super frustrated obviously bc I've already cut new paper to fit twice for the ones that keep falling down. I also tried redoing the glue recipe in case it has just separated or the proportions had gotten off or something.
Without fail all the panels that didn't stick still wont stick. Have you found anything that works better as glue? I'm trying to be non-perminent and mess free but I'm honestly about to just throw in the towel and use real paint or elmers and deal with the repercussions from the landlady.
I love this idea. I have a question about using this technique to cut down on direct sunlight in a car. As a passenger who is knitting on long trips, I'm made very uncomfortable by the strobing of direct light coming through trees when the sun is low in the sky. I need an idea that will allow the driver to see traffic, but cut down the intensity of light contrast.
Any ideas? Reply 4 years ago. Carefully smooth with a thin sturdy object and allow to dry. Good luck. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Does this also apply to the curtains I see suction cupped to the glass? I can't recall if I've only seen them in the backs of cars for babies seated inside. You can buy one way film, window cling google it that can be put on with water, you'd have to take it off if you were to roll the window down though, I think Squeegee See More.

Are there other TF members who have had experience with this paper? How easy is it to apply? How realistic does it appear? Is it non yellowing? I'm asking all these questions because I very much like the effect shown in the picture and can think of several places I would like to use the paper. They do have contact paper like this. I'm not sure if this window has it. You would have to look in the corner and try to peel it back to know for sure. But contact paper comes in many different colors and designs as well as clear and plain.
Maybe the nicest thing about contact paper is the low cost and that it is sold in so many stores. Here is a similar craft that we have posted, using Contact paper. I have a different sort of cover on my garage door window, using a translucent window film. Advertisement This type is not sticky but adheres with water. That sample you showed could be either type.
Contact paper will loose its sticky and will turn yellow over time, especially if exposed to sunlight over long periods. You could have real frosted glass, or there are kits that you can buy to frost or etch your own glass.
