Equipment

  • Scissors

Ingredients

  • Ruler
  • Scrap Paper
  • Cellophane Wraps
  • Clear School Glue
  • Dry Erase Marker

Instructions

  • I started by measuring the windows.
  • Next, I made a template with some scratch paper. This would help me cut the cellophane to the right size to fit within the windows.
  • I placed the template onto the cellophane square. I used a ruler and I drew a line to cut on with a dry erase marker. Using a dry erase marker allows you to remove any mark that remains.
  • I cut the cellophane on the lines. I continued doing this to all the squares I would need to cover all of the windows on the French doors.
  • When it comes to putting the cellophane on the window you have options. I wanted a temporary option so that I can remove the faux stained glass later.
  • I opted to use clear school glue. It dries clear, and it’s easily removed with soapy water. You can use as much or as little as you want. I placed a small dot of glue in each corner of the window.
  • I placed the cellophane square into the window and smoothed it out.
  • I continued gluing the windows and placing on the cellophane squares until all of the windows were covered and I let the glue dry completely.
