Frosted Glass Windows

Semi-permanent Frosting Spray

This treatment offers partial coverage that allows some of the background to be seen.

Materials:

tracing paper
scissors and/or a craft knife
temporary adhesive
frosting spray

Steps:

1. Cut a piece of tracing paper to fit the window and attach to the glass with temporary adhesive.

2. Trace the shape of the design you want to use onto the paper. You can use any design, as simple or elaborate as you wish.

3. Remove the tracing paper and cut out the design with scissors or craft knife, if the design is complicated.

4. Reattach the paper to the window. Spray the exposed window with frosting spray and remove the template after the spray dries.

5. If the contrast between the sprayed and unsprayed areas is too high, create a cloudy effect on the unsprayed area by randomly scattering around little bursts of spray.

6. To remove the frosty design, use a razor blade or rough cloth.
