Decorating with window panes is a creative way to add style to any room. With imagination, you can transform window panes into a number of creative decorative ideas.
WHATS THE BEST WAY TO SECURE A WINDOW FRAME TO A WALL?
There are many different ways to attach a window to a wall but I feel D-rings and picture hanger hooks are the best. They come in many sizes and give you the exact amount of weight they support. Simply attach the D-rings to the back of the window and attach the picture hanger hooks to the wall. Use your tape measure and level to ensure proper installation.
HOW DO I MAKE A WINDOW FRAME LOOK RUSTIC?
To make your window frame look rustic, you want to make it look old, used, distressed and weathered. Here are a few DIY tricks you can use to make your window look the way you want it to.
- Glue & Paint – Before painting your window, try adding some glue as a base coat. When the glue dries enough to form a thin skin, that’s when you can add your paint top coat. As the glue dries, it will form a crackle effect.
- Paint & Vinegar – After you have painted your window and let it dry, use a spray bottle with vinegar and spray down the paint in the areas you want to distress. Use some old rags to rub away the paint.
- Paint & Sandpaper – Once dry, sand down your paint using a fine-grit sandpaper, sanding block or palm sander.
- Bang it up – In order to add age to your wood, beat it up a little. Dents, nicks and gouges add character.
WHAT ELSE CAN I USE OLD WINDOW FRAMES FOR?
Old Windows Frames can be used for many things including displaying family photos and holding special holiday cards. They can be repurposed to make serving trays, chalkboards, coffee table tops, coat racks and so much more. Your only limited to your imagination so let it loose.
