**Full Disclosure: I received window film courtesy of Blinds.com in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.
You might remember that I participated in the Blinds.com craft challenge last year by making a photo backdrop with a mini roller shade. Well it’s time for the challenge again, except this time my product was a roll of frosted window film.
I received the film on Saturday and it sat unopened until yesterday. Last night I pulled it out of the package and stared at it for a good hour. I was thinking, ‘What in the world am I going to do with this stuff?!’ And then I had a light bulb moment. I was going to make Window Film Etched Glass Candle Holders. Start to finish, this project (one glass) took me less than 10 minutes.
Because I don’t have the patience for intense crafts this project was just my style.
What You’ll Need:
- 1 roll of frosted window film
- 1 glass (or more if you’d like)
- scissors
- spray bottle with water
- Note: If you want your film to fit precisely, grab a pencil & ruler also.
How To Make a DIY Window Film Etched Glass Candle Holder:
- Make sure your glass is clean.
- Decide where you want the film to sit on your glass.
- Measure out a piece that will go all the way around. (I didn’t measure, I just rolled the glass to make sure it fit.)
- Cut the measured window film.
- Spray the outside of the glass.
- Peel the film from the paper it’s on.
- Gently roll it around the glass. Try to keep the air bubbles out.
- Squeeze the bubbles out with the squeegee (it comes in the Blinds.com window film package).
- Decorate with anything else you’d like – stickers, ribbon, etc.
- ENJOY!
I love how the etched glass turned out! The thing about this window film is that can be easily removed, if need be. I think it would be beautiful as a centerpiece for date night, girls’ night, weddings or whatever! And the decorating options are endless.
Would you make these window film candle holders? What would you use them for?
I have ALWAYS wondered how the heck people do this lol. Very cool, I’ll have to try it!
This would be great for wedding centerpieces. Nice and easy!
Love this; and it’s so much simpler than I would have thought. Such a pretty way to add decor.
so simple but it has an elegant look
This is cool! Where do you buy a frosted window film?
This one came from Blinds.com.
What a great idea! We are planning my sisters wedding for August and these would be great for the tables. Thanks for the directions!
simply beautiful!
I would love to try and make some of my own.
I would probably cut out a pattern so the light could shine through.
So pretty!
What a great idea. These would make really pretty centerpieces for a wedding reception.
What a beautiful and simple idea! I think my 7 year old would love to help me create a handful of these to put out on our outdoor dinner table for sweet summer nights 🙂
Perfect idea!
Very nice. Simple, yet kind of elegant. Thank you for the post.
You are crafty!! I love simple DIY projects.
I LOVE THIS. WHat a beautiful craft and so simple!!
I love how clever this is~! I just bought some etching stuff recently from the store but never thought to do it this way. Is it heat safe?
I don’t know how heat safe it is, but it was fine with my candle for a few hours.
Great idea and so easy. These would be great for a wedding or party. I will have to make some too.
Soooo pretty, and not too hard for people like me 🙂
Cute and very easy, just my style!
Great idea. This will be perfect for some Christmas gifts. Thanks for sharing!
