Old Window Pane Wall Decor

My friend wanted help creating a wedding gift for her soon-to-be husband. She needed my help to refurbish an old wooden window and attach photographs/write on the glass. I found a window pane that would work at an antique store.

I sanded it down.





I taped edges and covered the glass. Then I primed the wood.





Two coats of paint later, it was ready for caulking and new hardware.





Then I wrote on one side of the glass with dry erase marker the phrase I wanted to paint. This ensured I got the spacing I liked.











I flipped the pane over so that I was painting on the back side of the window. The dry erase words were now backwards. I painted over the lines.
Then I used mod podge on the front of regular photographs to attach them to the pane. This did end up a little cloudy, perhaps an adhesive made for photos would be wiser.





The finished result!





I hope you were inspired, to refurbish an old window, write on glass, or make some wall decor for your home. Read the full story by clicking on my blog link. Thanks for reading!
