this creative woman spent YEARS collecting the perfect antique lids for her project. wow!

Step two: Choose a window Becky says, “I started with a window that I already had. I painted it pink and reinforced the corners with metal “L”brackets. I then placed all the clear glass lids, bowls and plates in a pleasing pattern Once I knew where I wanted then to go I glued them all to the window, starting at the top edge. I used Dap auto and marine silicone which stays very clear and makes a very strong bond.

Step three: Arrange and glue I glued the flat inside piece of all the glass to the back of the window. The different heights of the glass pieces stick out the back side of the window, and the part inside to you is the smooth glass. I have always adored old glass pieces with their artistic designs. This way I can just sit and study each piece for its own artistic features.

Step four: Adjust and enjoy! I left all the pieces intact except for the butter dishes close to the top. They were each too long for the space I had for them, so I cut about an inch off the end of each one with a wet tile saw. If folks don’t have a saw they might have to ask a tile layer if they could cut the pieces for them, but most windows I have seen are made with no cut pieces. I was just determined I was going to get some of those glass designs into my piece. I also used the piece I cut off of one of the dishes for the two upper corner pieces. It was a very simple process to do. If you use a window that is free hanging, I’m sure which side of the window you would want the back side of the dishes on. This window really looks pretty from either side.”
