Yesterday I started working on a 6 pane old window. Ideally...it would have been great to have it shabbier but, "you gotta do what you can with what you have." I didn't bother with sanding or any touch ups. I did wash it up though.
I filled each of the three lower panes with different scrapbook paper pieces embellished with an elegantly simple dandelion theme. I used Elmer's spray adhesive to get them good 'n stuck. Sticky, sticky stuff and messy. Use caution when spraying it. ;)
[LOVE]
It's hard to tell but the paper is very pretty.
I created an Up Words & On Words vinyl design and cut it out in beige using my Silhouette.
I applied the middle vinyl first to make it easier to center the outer words.
**HINT: when putting vinyl on glass it's a good idea to moisten (weird word) the glass with Windex. It helps for TWO reasons: 1. easier to re-position if necessary and 2. helps lessen the chance of air bubbles between the glass and the vinyl**

ReplyDeleteJumped over from Flamingo Toes. LOVE the window. Gotta figure out a way to do the lettering without a machine to cut it out. So beautiful with the simple flower design.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! I am a sucker for windows and this is one of the prettiest makeovers I've seen! LOVE the paper you chose and that you did all three panes on the bottom with paper and the top three with all word -- very eye-catching!
