One of the things we love about this house: the windows. The deep sills and the fantastic light they allow in with the nature views outside make them focal points. We hate to cover any of them, but there are some rooms where that has to happen. For instance, the downstairs bathroom. It faces the front porch.
We debated various solutions but either curtains or blinds would have to be kept closed, losing light. The answer: stained glassification. Not real stained glass, which costs a small fortune, but the fake kind you apply to the glass surface, getting the decorative effect and giving the room privacy while still letting in the light.
The supplies: a spatula type thing that applies your chosen design to the window, a spray-bottle of adhesive, and the fake window design of your choice. We chose bamboo.
The instructions say to leave a gap all around the edges, for no reason we were ever able to figure out. The applied design doesn’t stretch. The first step is to measure the window and trace your cutting lines on the design to cut out the correct size, and it’s probably safe to go edge to edge with your measurements.
Next, make sure the window is clean and dry so your stained glass design will stick.
Spray the glass with the spray-on adhesive.
Peel the backing off the cut-out window panel, line up your edges, and smooth out any bubbles with the tool while firmly sticking panel to glass.
Voila, stained glassification.
Feel free to let your husband do all the work while you admire his manly muscles. That’s what I did.
