Old Window #2

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. 

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!

Old Window: Backyard Treatment

Here is the first project done with the old windows. 

Such a simple project with outstanding results!  Doesn't it just make the whole atmosphere of the backyard quaint and cozy?  I love it!

The kids loved helping with this project!  Filling the canning jars with rocks was just the right job!

They were great helpers putting the flowers in the jars!

Here is the great work they did!  

Here is the finished product...

So easy and fun, with such dramatic results!

The twine is used to hold the jars to the fence.  It is wrapped around the wood slats and then around the jar and the bow finishes and holds it all together.

This really transforms the backyard into a place to relax!  

Great job Brooke!

Old Windows!

The other day I bought 6 old windows for $5 a piece.  My husband thought I was nuts when he walked into the garage and saw 6 old windows... They are all really neat because they each had so much character and are all different sizes.  I have several projects in mind...  Check back to see what I am going to do with these windows!!
