Step Two: Spray the Window
with Frosted Paint
When you are finished with step one, a pattern of rectangles
should be stuck to your old window, with the bare glass
between the papers creating the crisscross pattern of a
French window. If you are happy with the pattern, then you
are ready to frost the glass.
Take your frosted glass spray paint and shake it well, in
accordance with the instructions on the can. Going in
straight lines, spray the exposed glass everywhere, creating
several layers of frosting depending on how opaque you want
the French window pattern to look. Remember that the more
opaque it is (that is, the more layers of frosting you
apply), the more realistic the effect will be, and the more
resistant to scratching with time.
Step Three: Clean Up
Once the frosted French window pattern is thoroughly dry,
remove the sheets of paper from the glass. If there are any
areas where the frosting smeared into the squares of clear
glass creating the French window pattern, simply take a
paper towel moistened with glass cleaner and wipe the smears
away. If the work is very delicate, then use a Q-tip instead
of a paper towel. And that’s it. Your frosted French window
is finished.
When you clean it in future, just be sure to clean the clear
glass rectangles only. If you use window cleaner on the
frosted lines you might diminish their intensity, but since
smears and smudges will not show on the French window
frosting, there really is no need to clean the lines at all.
Your old window will now look modern and beautiful, and the
French window design will add beauty and elegance to your
room.
