A couple weeks ago, I posted some old windows that I bought HERE. (I bought these windows from Craigslist.) I put the 1st window on my back fence for a Backyard Treatment- You can find that post HERE.
Well, I finally finished my 2nd project with these windows. I made a cork board picture frame for my daughters room.
Well, I finally finished my 2nd project with these windows. I made a cork board picture frame for my daughters room.
Here it is...
Here is the window before...
This project took me a little longer than I expected because I knew what I wanted, but I was not sure how to do it. I knew that I wanted cork board instead of the actual windows. One night I tried taking out the windows and I am telling you- those windows are indestructible! I broke 3 razor blades trying to get the glass out!
So my Plan B was to glue the cork board directly onto the window. I actually used Mod Podge and Mod Podged some fabric to the cork board, and the cork board to the window. To my surprise, this worked great!
Then, I had four left over knobs that I put at the bottom of the window. I also lined each window with some trim to hide any gaps from the cork board. To finish it off, I just pinned some pictures of my daughter to the window and it was done!

I love how your window project turned out. I did something similar for my living rom and get compliments on it all the time. Very creative :)
I saved all my old windows from my house and have done a similar project. However, my pictures are behind the glass which makes it so hard when I want to change out the pictures. Love the way you did it!

I really liked the last window you put on the fence, and you did a fabulous job with this one, also. I love decorating with old windows.
This is beyond adorable--and $5 for the windows..unreal! Thanks for sharing your darling project!
What a beautiful idea. I'm kicking myself right now because I walked right passed a window just like this a few weeks ago, not picking it up because I didn't want the neighbors to think I was a weirdo. Stupid me.
